>entire lore is that he's an evil ixian (demon) and he did a lot of horrible things and murder growing up but now he's a respectable man that runs a bar and is perfect and innocent and the people that want him dead (Friends Of Humanity) are just evil bad racistsWe need a Friends Of Humanity hero, badly
We need the finished version of Artifact Foundry and million-dollar tournament that they promised, badly.Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
>>745214308thanks for the bump
just say you got stomped in my last ranked lobby opsorry about that
>>745214446i dont play ranked
>>745214029>Whoa there, I may be an evil vampire that enjoys killing people but even I wouldn't go so far as to hate supernatural creatures
YOOOO WE SUDDENLY LIKE BLACK MEN IN GAMING NOW CAUSE VALVE MADE IT BRO
>>745214725>literally kills and maims kids in monster ridden new york and earth in general but racism is too farValve is fucking pathetic
>People actually give a shit about the '''lore''' of Deadlock
>>745214029Is this the wokest game in existence?>made with the help of Sweet Baby inc>they hired specifically a big pro-BLM dev to help with the game>made by the Campo santo devs (the most woke studio that Valve bought up)>all the characters look worse than even the worse hero shooter games>them/they pronounce character>black void of censorship and censored designs
>>745214029considering there's no real antagonist hero guy yet (mcginnis maybe? drifter maybe?) i'd assume a real bad dude is gonna get released eventually, maybe a friends of humanity guy or the Troubadouralso this game is unironically the next big thing
>>745215216mcginnis is unironically the most immoral heroes in the game worse than drifter etc but at least she hates racism
>>745214446LolLuhmaoI wrecked this nigger as the doctor Mundo cop.Luv me punching
>>745215260No racism allowed. That's for Dota (the superior game)
>>745214923Culture warriors don't play video games, more news at 11
>>745214867>muh racism in gamesDo you guys have the slightest idea how much of a nightmare it would create? Some shops and countries will outright not allow you to sell your game if it contains racism. And not releasing your game on Steam, PS/XBOX shop and even itch. Nobody is going to commit a financial suicide by making their game nearly impossible to distribute simply to appeal to few autists who want to see the word "nigger" in a game
>>745215538>remodels Garithos to be a black woman
>>745215635>shopsshut up you fucking boomer lmao
>>745215216You give this game way too much credit, on both counts. Murderfuck vampire is as edgy as it's going to get, what else is a different serial killer gonna do that isn't already covered by people peeler Drifter over there? Racist player character isn't just the type of un-wholesome shit a nuValve employee would never write, it'd also unironically be a massive PR headache.
>>745215891you are such a pussy
>>745215604he's right about every single point though, sounds like you're the one who doesn't play games>BUT POCKET ONLY HAS THEY/THEM BECAU...valve already bent the knee to trannys and changed voicelines to placate the troons on their discord
>>745215891there's a layer of protection for them for a character to racist against a fictional demon race vs being racist vs yamato, calico or ivy or whatever. can definitely see them having a demon hating antagonist
>>745214867yeah the fact they hired campo santo/sweet baby inc tells me all I need to know about how deep the rot has seeped. nuValve is a disgrace
>>745214029sorry sucka
>"ITS NOT WOKE" /v/ insists for the 100th thread in a row>meanwhile...
>>745215950He's a reference to Puck the dragon from Dota, a genderless being and has a near identical kitYou would know this if you played the vidya gaem instead of jerking off to anime png collectors all day
>>745216083She will 100% get redesigned as she looks like ass
>>745216125that was the case until valve changed voicelines about a year ago to remove that and imply pocket actually views himself as a they/themyou'd know that if you played the game instead of reading wiki articles>jerking off to animeohhh so you're that faggot, i get it, fuck off you disingenuous retard
When was the last time a game by a big company had racism anyways?
>>745216125>clear human man>they/them>dooood it's le puck reference in everything including being a genderless faerie dragondotards...? kit sure, but they/them? nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh senpai you're a troon
>>745216185i've been hearing this for over 2 years now and not only have they not done that, they updated the model to higher fidelity
>>745214029>be bad guy>has a redemption>race doesn't matterChristian hero
>>745216275you've been lurking threads of a game you hate for 2 years? why?
>>745216275they never updated her modelyou might be thinking that because they updated the global hero shader but her model is untouched
>>745216202Valve steps in and tells them to get rid of the pozzed shit when?
>>7452162751/3 of the old cast still has WIP models like this niggaIts just not a priority until the game is near open beta status and they have valve money to burn.
>>745216302t. ritualist shitter that sits in dlg all day
>>745216234>>745216202dont bother engaging, this guy is in every thread and all he does is say "ANIME BAD, YOU JUST WANT GATCHA" in every single fucking thread when someone points out a lot of the character designs are dogshitHe is 100% an unemployed loser faggot.
>>745216383Don't reject your brothers in Christ
>>745216416Thank you for proving my pointyou're one step away from saving the west le based and redpilled stranger
>>745216125yes bro, i see an hourglass-shaped blonde modeling in a runway and i think "OMG IS THAT A MAN?"or I see a guy lifting weights at the gym and think "OMG SHE LOOKS SO HOT"it's like they pretend we don't have eyes and ears

>>745214029>We need a Friends Of Humanity hero, badlyI'd prefer they fix all the movement bugs first. They went to such an extent to try to remove bhop (and failed) yet they leave in 10+ other issues that completely negate the usefulness of high mobility characters.
>>745215909>>745216008Do you actually, genuinely, legitimately expect them to spend 40 heroes pussyfooting around the obvious elephant in the room that is fantastical racism in Jim Crow-era America, and then just turn around one day and add a klansman?I'm not buying it.
>if you don't like thing you're a jeet or if you don't like other thing you're a trannykek why did the internet become this way
>>745216687Its just funny to see how little these guys actually play video gamesUGH, I CAN'T BELIEVE VALVE HAS GONE... WOKE!!!Am I even replying to real people, or are these just generated bots looking for engagment so a indian can take a BASED screenshot and upload it to X for rupeesI refuse to believe there are faggots on here unironically acting like its 2014.

>>745216872valve is le bad ok they are woke dont you know about sweet baby inc...dont use their evil monopoly buy your games on Epic Games Store instead they give the developers a better cut ok think of the developers....
>>745216872>valve has not gone wokeexplain how this statement can be true when they were on the sweet baby inc client list
>>745216083i dont know why people complain about calico when wraith is far more offensiveat least calico has a personality and aesthetic that isnt "uhh girlboss" with a thorough collection the most generic voice lines in the entire gamecomparing her to vyper is like night and day, its embarrassing
>>745216984lol don't lump me with those dudes defending pocket's pronouns, i just think this shit is funny
>>745214029Ixians aren't demons. Creatures like Oathbreaker are demons.
>>745217013Previous character card. Lying or retard, which is it?
>>745217139yes they are learn the lore retardthey're like tieflings but actually evil
>>745214029He looks like someone's TF2sona.
>tf2trannies still THIS mad over Valve's next hit game
>>745217176that's the same model with a different shader retard-kunthey had to re-render all the portraits to introduce the critical health/killstreak portraits for everyone in the cast
>>745216984>>745217249>next hit gameyou mean the one with 20 minute queues and 50 minute matches?they need to reduce farm and come-back mechanics if they want this game to do well
>>745217296Shitposters don't play games
>>745217308>long queue/long matchunironic skill issue
>>745217205So that's why out of the 3 ixians in the game, only one of them used to be evil. And the literal catholic demon hunter doesn't pick a fight with them.
>>745217108they're both a problem visually, i'd agree wraith is worse but part of the issue is balance, i literally have played 10 games in a row and both characters were in every single match because they're absurdly strong for different reasons
>>745217476He has kill lines for the ixians that are like>DIE MONSTER>DIE DEMON
>>745217476>I don't care about the circumstances of your birth, I care about who you are. I don't give a damn if you look like a monster, but if you act like one I will put you down>OH JEEZE I DEFINITELY I DONT TRUST YOUThis is why you just kneel on their necks and don't apologize or reason with them.
>>745217108Wraith needs a new VA.
>>745217225I can see it.
>>745217476So basically they tried to make a zealot demon/vampire hunter but turned him into pic related? This is the game people are saying "isn't woke"?
>>745216125
>>745214725>>745214867How do we know he's not racist?
>>745217712No, there are actual demons and monsters out there. Venator's job is killing characters like Giest, Drifter, and Doorman.
>>745217441>quick queues and matches because he's stuck in seeker and the enemy team folds once pressuredgrim
This is a gargoyle
>>745217712>This is the game people are saying "isn't woke"Have you ever actually been in a church or interacted with a priestIts extremely on brand for catholic priests to try and convert nigs, natives, slavs, even mongolsI
>>745217808>grimyep, you're in bricklow and a faggot
>>745217904if you genuinely believe long matches are a problem only in lower ranks you've demonstrated that you don't play in high ranks, there's nothing else to discuss
>>745217476>>745217712>why isn't this character being racist in conversations with his own lane partner>that means he's wokeI can really tell some of you guys don't go outside
>>745214867>THEY NEED TO SAY NIGGER! THEY NEED TO SAY NIGGER IN MY VIDEOGAME! SAY NIGGER! CHARACTER IN THE VIDEOGAME MUST SAY NIGGER YOU ARE A WOKE! SAY NIGGER!Autistic retards.
>>745217745I'd really appreciate it if he dropped the hard R against Calico or Wraith would be very in character
>>745218063Except there are tons of characters who say outright "I'm killing you after we win." Also, you're agreeing that ixians are just a race an not literal demons.
>>745218094>what is versimilitude This is why leftists dont make good writers
Sweet baby inc slop, shan't be playing
>>745218326all of the death threats are exchanged towards or from serial killersvenator has no business murdering relative innocents because they're colored
>>745216984Every single one of these threads is like this
>>745217639i dont think you could get anyone on earth to read that tripe and make it sound good, the script just needs to be flushed
>random players have more lore accurate dialogue than the VAs
>>745217108>>745217639MY MIND IS A WEAPON
>THE CHARACTERS IN THIS GAME AREN'T SAYING NIGGERS, FUCK THE JEWS, ALL HAIL HITLERS AND KILL ALL CHINKS?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?>FUCKING WOKE SHIT GAMEIts actually insane how some of you are
>>745218725>if I misconstrue and make up other people's arguments for them then they sound insanewaow!!!
>>745218681Its the intended experienceThe higher mmr the more racist and toxic games get as well
>>745218270Drifter really doesn't seem like kind of character who would care. When killing it doesn't matter if they're white or black or ixian or some kind of magical freak, it only maters that they thought they were safe and drifter could.That said, it would matter to drifter if shouting slurs at them would torture them. Drifter 100% would have gone out of his way to kill escaped slaves, even memorizing and repeating the exact insults and commands their owner used.
>>745218716>hold on, freeze frame, rewind>did i just LIFTING that ABRAMS with my freakin mind???
>>745218586Yes, that's my point. Did you read the whole conversation?
>>745218793>everything is woke>everything is tranny>if the game doesn't look like my generic gacha chink slop its le woke!!!!Literally you btw
>>745218890>>745218725You were already called out for being a giant faggot. Please leave.>>745216416
>>745218890immediately doing the exact thing he just made fun of you for isnt the best way to prove him wrong
>>745218890>doubles downmidwittery
>>745218940Oh fuck I got called out by the gacha addicted anime fan!Anime garbage could never make a character as fun as Lash
>>745214029We'll never get a friends of humanity hero because they'd need to come up with reasons for them to 1. Support a patron 2. Be on the same team as a bunch of characters on their hit list. 3. For Vindicta to be on a team with them.So at best we're getting a friends of humanity defector or splinter group.
>>745218632>the script just needs to be flushedYeah I agree a lot of her lines are badly written too. She should sound as cutthroat as the other characters allege her to be.
>>745218890Its no wonder this game generates so much seethe on here, /v/edditors are so used to being babied by gachas that they can't comprehend a game with skill involved
>>745219095> 1. Support a patron are you stupid? get all ixians deleted from the world
>>745219068No one has referenced anime, or advocated for anime or gatcha designs in this game. Only you have done so. You are extremely mentally ill and require aid. Please seek help.
>>745219131/v/ is unironically full of fucking casuals noawadaysi remember how many retards were filtered by basic shit in mewgenics here it's impossible to deny this is the reality now
>>745219224They'd get rid of the ixians by welcoming a harder to kill patreon into the world. It's net negative for their goals.
>>745219249I know your kind everything that isn't anime or make your pee pee into big pee pee is woke.Stop pretending
>>745219131Come on man, I love deadlock but>deadlock>needing skillI've seen retards with the mechanical ability of a toddler still make it to ascendant/eternus.
Just install mods you porn addicted freaks
>>745219386Its a combination of moba + hero shooter mechanics + movement that makes it complexEven on retard heroes like victor or geist, you still need to actually interact with the game and its system or you will be hardstuck
>>745214029>Adds nigga to Deadlock >He shoots with finger guns>Police can't disarm him >He runs very fast with flames behind him >Police can't chase him What did Valve mean by this?
>>745219386Are you one of those?
>>745214867its not Valve's fault, its that shitty sweetbaby company
>>745219527you're dumb valve has more net worth than most of the third world combined lol
Why do valve pay so many indians to shill this shit here? The shilling is so blatant
>Ywn be paid money by gabe to post images of silver onlineFuck my low oracle life...
>>745217476Venator has some barely controlled anger that he lets slip when he kills a few of the characters in the game and he is more the kind of "modern" catholic that puts up a front of niceness to put people around him at ease so that he can do what he needs to do. Its obvious that he has more of a "I'm too old for this shit..." vibe than a "KILLKILLKILLKILL! I MUST DO AS GOD COMMANDS!" vibeshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEVtQ5FzE8M
>>745220098>"Furry bastard got what he deserved!"Wow, he REALLY hates Rem for some reason
>>745220353i know im replying to wojak shit but>ermmm yes demons are ruining your world but it would be racist to hate them okkys
>>745219508NTA but I aim like a spastic sperg and was Eternus before the MM update. Game is still young so you can have glaring deficiencies in your ability but because it's all relative to other similarly deficient niggas, it's not really that hard to be "good". Even the pros are still learning Newtonian Mechanics at this point, in 5 years you'll have to be comfortable with General Relativity and Gauge Theory to even make it to top 5% rank.
>>745215635can i still buy san andreas? or does that not actually have any hard Rs?
>>745220414Yes when the demon world is a canon state of america and ixians are burger citizens
>>745219447What website is this?
>>745220484kys shartyfag
>>745220495Its deadlock mod manager
>>745220414"demons" pretty much prevented both wwi and wwii from happening by accelerating "technology" with magic ans shitixians are also not actually demons, they just look like them and are the inspiration for the look of demons in-universe, they are just people
is this a raid or are dl players actually like this
>>745220663>erm theyre not demons bro they just uhhhh are red andd from hell and have magic powers ok
>>745220721>the game made by Sweet Baby Inc, BLM activist and the most woke people have a big obnoxious tranny audienceWHO COULD HAVE GUESSED?
>>745220447Black people saying nigga is not the hard R nor is it racism
>>745215260>be good at your job>this is le bad
>>745220721Luv me video games, simple as
>>745220901has there ever actually been a game that included nigger
only one poster is in here following the discord posting flowchart
>>745220806why not make the game for genderblobs? they are the ultimate consoomer>>745221084L.A noire but i can't remember if they actually say "nigger" i think they say "negro", but they also say kike and spicGTA V has "nigga" in it but it's said by other niggers so i guess it doesn't count
>>745221084gta iv
>>745220721A raid.
>>745221163Ahthe last real GTA game
>>745220804yesthey are the origin of the idea of a demon but aren't actually what demons represent like to us, as in like evil and from hell they are just regular people from another dimension
>>745221325>they are just regular people from another dimensionlike doom demons? we love those, open the borders
>>745219386Deadlock is THE most complex shit in the market bro (besides stuff like EVE I guess).
>>745221325>they're just regular people bro okay just trust me on this>Like most teenagers; Infernus was wild, rebellious, and impetuous. Unlike most teenagers, Infernus was a creature from another plane and had a supernatural mastery over fire. Needless to say: his youth was filled with no small amount of arson, murder, and evidence disposal.
Knowing nothing about the game, i checked out some of itGameplay looks pretty cluttered, but it's still pretty unique i supposeBut Valve really dropped off in the dialogue, all the voice acting and interactions i've heard is just ear bleeding nonsense
>>745221505i always wonder at what point did people stop liking silent protagonists or if people feel an urge to hear dialog constantlyyou can radio shit in counter-strike but it doesn't have the characters yapping every fucking second
>>745221386i mean this literally supports what i'm sayinginfernus was a regular teenage criminal but with magic and shietin deadlock pretty much everyone can access occult magic bs anyways so ixians aren't even that special in that regard
>>745221625no it doesn't
>>745220019her titties are not that big and she is not chubby
>>745221375an idiot admires complexity, a genius admires simplicity
>>745221505>But Valve really dropped off in the dialoguewhoever writes all their shit nowadays needs to go. it's all, without fail, sarcastic, unbearable tripe
>>745219490idk but this pic goes hard
>>745221505You wanna post some examples? Some dialogue is better than others
>unique art style >nuanced 30's supernatural New York setting>runs on up to date source 2 engine>stuck as a beta test mobashit with one map for 2 yearsTalk about wasted potential, even Genshin added more content to the game during the same timeframe.>b-b-b-b-b-but gacha doesn't have good gameplay!And I don't have time to play with unemployed autists who piss and shit their pants each time I play any hero the "wrong way", Deadlock enforces competetive mindset but doesn't provide enough incentive for the effort required to master it, only makes you feel miserable instead.
>>745220721You're speaking with subhumans from /vg/, what do you think?
>>745221375you dont need to abuse source movement bugs to hit eternus, which is the only "complicated" part of this game since they aren't spelled out in a tutorial (which is objectively bad design), otherwise its a pretty barebones MOBA that requires the least amount of skill to aim compared to any hero shooter or real shooter on the marketi'm gonna let you in on a secret, no video game in existence is "complicated" and you aren't "smart" for liking it
>>745222812You can just play unranked and brawl thoughNo one is forcing you to be a meta whore.
they just gotta update quicker fuck this release schedule wtf
>>745222884NTA but I agree the entire aesthetic and atmosphere is completely wasted on a garbage genre: MOBAsUnranked is still a MOBABrawl is retarded because its literal RNG with cards. Its an extremely bad version of a hero shooter.No one wants to run around a map and farm random dogshit for 30 minutes before an unbalanced fight happens where the winner collected more diddly-doos and blumfped the scrumpfnator 200 in the side of the map in 2026.A massive disappointment that valve's limited amount of actual video game development is wasted on this trash.
>>745222884Brawl got old after 6 months, I come back to it sometimes but fighting on the same grey/brown map for 5 hours sometimes makes me nauseous, I can't really explain it, I never had such issue with Dota 2 or CSGO dust2.
>>745223050That is a valid complaintIf the new hero batch doesn't have 7+ heroes I will be pissed since its taken a long ass time for the new update>No one wants to run around a map and farm random dogshit for 30 minutesThis is not how mobas work unless you play very specific carry heroesJust play a roamer like Calico, Silver, Drifter etc and just perma fight every game. That is not only a valid playstyle but the correct one.
>>745223245Meant to reply to >>745223107
>>745223107it's ultimately doa. it won't be the next big thing they're banking and need it to be and will join the dota: underlords and artifact club, both of which got unceremoniously put down behind a barn because of how redundant they were as a concept
>>745222812>30'sits 50snew york just didn't change much, aesthetically, before and after the war especially in a universe where ww2 didn't happen
>>745223050Considering how autistic Icefrog is, Deadlock isn't leaving beta for 2 more years at the very least. Hopefully he adds TDM and CTF modes before nearly extinct valve devs get bored of working on the same game for too long.
>>745223391Yeah brother its gonna die ANY minute nowOnly 70k players in a closed alpha? UGH, dead as fuck!
>>745223245>This is not how mobas work unless you play very specific carry heroesAnd you've highlighted the other major issue with MOBAs: lack of player agency which is purposefully removed in favor of "teamwork" which is impossible outside of a 3+ stack.If i dont pick the carry I'm leaving it up to chance if we actually win or not, which results in me accepting a closer-to-50/50-result. Sure the side laners/roam can influence the fight. But if my team DOESNT get wraith and she DOESNT blow up every objective and demolish the fight then its just gg go next and hope for a better dice roll. Its not fun.I wasted 100 hours in overwatch a decade ago, im not wasting anymore time on a dogshit MMR+Rank system that doesn't even converge for solo-queue properly.
>>745223608>closed alphaIts actually an extremely open beta. You're no different than the blizzdrones.player numbers mean nothing when ranked queues take 15-20 minutes
>>745215708She was still racist though
>>745223728>Its actually an extremely open betaWords have meaning, tranny.
>>745223391Still, you gotta give Valve the credit here, they turned Neon Prime, the game that was destined to repeat the same agonizing death Concord, Highguard and Marathon experienced, somehow was miraculously salvaged at the last moment and turned into Deadlock we know today, an actual strong competitor to the behemoths such as Overwatch and Marvel Rivals.
>>745223665>If i dont pick the carry I'm leaving it up to chance if we actually win or notNow this is straight up just copiumDrifter is the meta whore hero right now and his playstyle is just running into the enemy jungle and raping peopleSeems like the issues is that you are unwilling to improve and blame it on hero picks>>745223728>Anonymous cannot readMany cases
>>745223608>being daft on purposedo you even know what doa means? I'm talking long-term. the writing is horrible, the aesthetic sucks, gameplay feels like a job, and the community's insufferable. sure feels like a success they need it to be in the making
>>745223857that would've been a complete disaster, true, but they're ultimately polishing a turd
>>745223172Brawl desperately needs its own map with more variety and focus, the last 3 games I had in brawl all ended as losses because some retard picked Dwifter, Haze or Calico just so that they could run around the outskirts of the map and do FUCK ALL the entire match to the point where they had half the damage of the player with the 2nd least damage in the match, 0 kills, multiple deaths and 1 or 2 assists
>>745223929You've been saying this since it was first leakedWhen will you learn your lessondo you have a humiliation fetish?TORtantic and its consequences...
>>745223860I don't see any mention of the alpha here and anyone who asks for a key on steam forums can get in 5 minutes, even Dota 2 beta wasn't so open, it's a luxury to call it an alpha at this point when it's been in public hands for 2 years already.
>>745221608neither does deadlock, the only conversation dialogue is before the match starts
>>745214725Why would he hate supernatural creatures? He literally is one. He has no reason to be racist he's an ancient vampire lord.
>>745220804They aren't from hell, Ixia is described as a beautiful - albeit war-torn country in the lore.
They dont have to say nigger but if its some alternate 1940s bullshit they shouldnt have millennial core post 2020 tier sounding dialogue
>>745224351>Heart warming: Illiterate learns to use /v/ for the first time!Nice to see the site is becoming more inclusive of disabled people
>>745219527>it's not valve's fault they hired bad people and don't fix what they do in any shape or formRight.
>>745214308I appreciate how you always style this to fit the topic kekEven if it is half assed.
>>745221608The characters don't talk that much in Deadlock, you'll only ever hear one or two of them speak at the start of the match, when quickchat is used, when ults are used and when someone gets a kill or killstreak.At most you'll hear a your own characters voicelines sometimes because their spells/skills have dialogue instead of a grunt or a sound effect
>>745224156NTA but you can call WoW or CoD games alive but that wouldn't necessarily make it true, wouldn't it? It just feels that Deadlock peaked during april 2024 and have never quite reached the same heights, right now it FEELS exactly like post 7.20 dota 2, you know what I'm saying?
>>745224618He's just one of those leftists from the meme post that pretends to not understand things because that's the only way he can act like there's an argument.

>>745218890welcome to /v/ my friend, every anon here thinks anyone but themselves is the children of satan
>>745220019Thank you for reminding me of the reason I came into the thread. Ahem. GOD I LOVE SILVER. Best dog.
>>745224813Before Volvo removed the playercount API for the game steamcharts showed that the game had actually grown since then, quite a lot if I remember correctly, like, from 60k peak up to slightly over 100k during the last major update.
>>745224943discord tranny mad not everyone likes his game lol
>>745214029>YN backstory>looks like a nigger>you are speciest if you think he is badThank you Valve actually never make HL3
>>745225004>>745220019How big is her futa cock?
>>745219356>know your kind everything that isn't anime or make your pee pee into big pee pee is woke.delusional. meds.
>>745225024Do you think it will surpass 200k next patch?
>>745225139She has a puffy, juicy, and tight cookie
>>745225201if it includes lore and the rumored pve, yeah.. the casuals eat that shit up
>>745225201Open beta maybe, then again every big content update gets bigger player peaks and I can see the risk of rain mode luring casuals.Its somehow the most wishlisted game on steam right now if that means anything
This is dying in 20 minutessource: /v/
>>745225139Reject futa embrace tomboy/muscular women. Futashit can stay in mmos as the genre dies out.
>>745218270Drifter is Cajun, if anything he sleeps with them.
>>745225201Hard to say, the game still needs you to get invited to play the game which means that it would be hard for it to go above 150k as the game has probably reached peak playercount while it's still in its closed state. I'd say that the game will probably peak around 200-300k once it gets released and then stabilize around the 80-100k mark after that. Unless they add some more ways to play the game for the non-ASSFAGGOTS enjoyers, the game will probably stay pretty niche but popular IMO.
>>745223608>Valve numbersLMAO
>>745225301its already back to pre-matchmaking patch numbersits the same ~30k unemployed retards and 3rd worlders (aka europeans) anon, that doesn't mean the game is a success>ITS A CLOSits been out for 2 years dude, there are bots on 20+ discords and reddits that give you invites, let it go
>>745222884Unranked is the same shit as ranked. If anything it's probably worse since there's more effort into trying to make ranked balanced.Brawl was inevitably going to get boring. Same thing will happen with that PvE mode.Game is entering this trap where valve keep going "ok so I know loads of people aren't liking the main game mode, but look! other shit!" and it keep falling short because valve keep hoping stuff that's not the focus of their development is going to hold people's interest.
>he's still goingPaid shill or retard?Call it.
>>745225480>Botting a dead game with no card marketWhy?
>>745225480>Twitter screenshotRapeape is that you?Still saving the west are we?
>>745225301The trick here is Valve, not the playersIf Valve gets bored of Deadlock, then it's actually over, they can just keep it in the beta forever instead of cannibalizing the potential Dota 2 and CS2 market sales.Remember, for them being lazy = being productive and conservative
>>745225557yes 10 more minutes and its shutting down I can't wait to see the shills meltdown lol
>>745225054Bro literally proved his point. All of us are retarded here.
>>745225650who said it will shutdown? its a nice containment zone for the unemployed pseuds, that's the only use the MOBA genre has
>>745225557
>>745219131>deadlock>skill>entire game is just spamming gigantic AoEs and abusing movement bugs
>>745225295She's a werewolf btw
>>745225647That scenario is impossible since its icefrog's love projectExplains why it has limitless funding with zero time constraintsHe wants it pitch perfect.
>>74522572130k real unemployed people and ~30k botssame as before the patchthanks for proving my point?
>>745225719Game is a complete flop no way its not shutting down
>>745214029This game's gonna go EOS by the end of the year
>>745225803valve has infinite money, they'll keep it alive not matter what because its the dota2's previous lead's pet project
>>745225779>ITS BOT!proof?
>>745225605>Game is entering this trap where valve keep going "ok so I know loads of people aren't liking the main game mode, but look! other shit!" and it keep falling short because valve keep hoping stuff that's not the focus of their development is going to hold people's interest.Maybe they shouldn't have made the main mode MOBAslopIf you make the barrier of entry having to play the game hundreds of hours to learn it, then you're only going to get tranny NEETs as the majority of the playerbase, which Deadlock currently has
Thats it. Deadlock will not get a single dollar from me!
>>745225883steamdb does nothing to prevent counting bots as playersproof otherwise?
I don't know about you guys but im smelling 45 years old seething tf2 fans in this thread.
>>745225475>https://store.steampowered.com/charts/mostplayedLooks like someone at valve fucked up that API, the game is currently the 19th most played game on steam with 71k players, the playercount is also very flat with its highest playercount reaching 73k today, so it's safe to say that the game currently has around 40-70k active players.
>>745225962washed up tranny uncs be playing deadlock tho
>>745225883Erm, a literal who twitter screenshot of course!Its totally logical for valve to bot out a closed alpha when they don't give a shit about playercounts before it releases.
>>745215635Retard
>>745225883my 23 minute ranked queue is pretty good evidence i'd say desu-ly
>>745225961So half of steam numbers are bot we agree? Knew Palworld number were made up garbage nobody play this shit for real.
>>745225854There's like 400 people playing the game right now aint no way they gonna keep the game alive when nobody is playing
Tonight I will draw silver for the first time
>>745225773>explain why it has limitless funding with zero time constraints>He wants it pitch perfect.Exactly, this is why they want to keep it in the invite only beta for as long as possible, Icefrog is the most famous mobadev on the planet and probably has some ego to his name too, he wouldn't want to be influenced by the masses or casuals, in the beta he can experiment as much as he wants without any repercussions, he is the Dungeon Master and Deadlock is his board.
>Gameplay that requires you to aim and move and have global map awareness which makes /v/ mad>Unique setting that no other game has ever made>has been in the top 20 most played games on steam despite having a barrier to entry for the past two years>anons make copy and pasted threads crying about the game and grasp at anything they possibly can to get the 70k+ currently active players to stop playingHas a game ever mindbroken /v/ as much as this one? Is it because valve abandoned Artifact (a shit game that no one played) and are spiteful?
If it makes anyone feel any better the game is flopping anyway.
>>745225973>19th most played game on steamWhat a disaster

The entire thread is just one schizo samefag who is assblasted by anime and gatcha despite no one mentioning gatcha with over 50+ posts in this thread alone btw.Just leave and don't engage. He's upset no one responds to him in /vg/.
Why the fuck would Deadlock have bots? There's benefit to playing it (no items) nor is there any gain for valve to inflate the numbers. No one runs into bots in game so why would someone put bots just to hang out in the menu?

>>745226552heyi dont see any anime and i dont use vg cause its full of low rank ritualist 3 shitters
>>745226227Yeah lol they haven't made a single cent from this shit so far and its been out for 2 years

>>745214308You need to kill yourself already
>>745226979Good thing I'm text only then
>>745225773>Explains why it has limitless fundingThat's the other big question. Exactly how forgiving does valve plan on being with icefrog? Saying "well Icefrog made them a shit load of money with dota 2 so they're happy to let them have this" is being hit with the fact that he's now losing them money. There's got to be a point where the good will runs out.Sure they'll eventually monetise to fix this, but then it draws more attention to how much money his new game is able to make them.
Flopping tranny deadcock.
>>745214029I dunno, he is pretty cool, and I am pretty sure he was just some dime-a-dozen thug like a good chunk of playable characters and turned over a new leaf as a bartender, no one seems to mind it too much so I doubt it was something like a terrorist attack or burning orphans alive
>>745226392why wouldn't valve want to make it seem like their new upcoming project is popular?
>>745227067I would say he has 2+ years until he has to make a single cent of profit and even that's questionableIcefrog is like, probably the second most influential guy in valve due to Dota's success so he has a free check for whatever he wants.And by god is the valve money effectively infinite
>>745226510Some unmedicated schizophrenic is accusing every poster in every Deadlock thread of being the exact same person. A sad example of mental illness.

>>745227271There are people that would look at that and think marriage. Think about that.
>>745227363The update that seems to have saved this game is the one that specifically added a game mode that gave the intended gameplay the middle finger, maybe they had a point?
>>745227271Ivy, they ruined my precious Ivy...Why did they disneyfied her?! Curse you, Valve!
>>745227375SIR YES SIR
There is not a single Deadlock character who could sell a poker game based solely off someone's desire to see them talk and interact with stuff.Deadlock "fans" will have no rebuttal to this.
>>745227363It just uncle pedodane buttbuddies, they're still mad that his plan to kill Deadlock failed

>>745214867The game is in beta and they are still adding characters we will get a friends of humanity character eventually to think valve just won't do it is fucking silly thoughI would like a vampire loli
>>745223608>>74522360869.9k players because I just uninstalled game.As a new player in the new matchmaking system, I spent an entire week playing this on and off and I have about 11 Billy wins, to even make it into ranked mode I need to play this game for roughly 300 hours straight.Each match is roughly 40 minutes on average, I sum the waiting for matchmaking time which is unironically 10 minutes on average, keep in mind that it's a forced 50% winrate game so with a coinflip Yoshi will give you absolutely retarded teammates sometimes and you're just fucked to engage with an unwinnable 40 minute game, these ones are specially bad because they sometimes go to 60 minutes and end up "Not Scored" because someone left this grueling process.On Standard a lot of matches are just killed because someone fucking leaves and sometimes you get a matchmake but only for 11/12 players and the last player never comes along and the match is just killed and you have to wait 5 minutes again.So yeah you probably need to spend 300-400 hours to make it into bricklo ranked, for a new player such as myself, and because I can't afford to play this nonstop it's about 1 week for 30 hours of gameplay so that's like about 13 weeks of fucking around in Standard until I can get in Ranked.This game demands too much from your casual player so it's a bit of a Marathonlike with this ranked system.Thoughts on this?Old players don't have this problem but Oracle fags, formerly Eternus, have to spend these 13 weeks making it back to Eternus
>>745227124>people post it's low player count of 30k>lol valve (who fucking run steam) are actually putting in only 15k bots to make it look slightly betterDo you hear yourself? Stupid.
Friends of Humanity character would be slightly boring for being the same thing that Warden and Venator would be (Love my humanity, hate dem patrons).Not to mention, they wouldn't use magical artifacts so the shop is a no-go.

Crazy how Pocket had the potential to be the literally me psuedo protagonist if some random writer or intern who wrote his flavour text didn't use "they". All the pre-release and release voice lines and lore refer to Pocket as a man. The "they/them" shit was clearly last second thing one person did because the game wasn't even meant to be revealed yetValve know it adds nothing and have basically refused to acknowledge it but they know reverting it would cause so much backlash. It literally doesn't exist except for when culture warriors want to argue.
>>745234207my nigga the game isn't out and any lore shit is basically just drafts. why are you pretending like these are characters that exist in any capacity
>>745234453my nigger valve literally stopped showing WIP stuff because people got too attached and vocal about first drafts. No character that's been added has had their lore or concept changed You're crazy if you think they're gonna remove the they shit with how deranged trannies are, but they're not gonna add to it either. It's basicallly a non-thing
>>745214029It's weird that people think the default state for a person is racism. It literally isn't. People aren't born racist, it is something taught to you by your parents.>NO, TRIBES DIDN'T LIKE PEOPLE WHO LOOK DIFFERENT!!!Tribes don't like people from other tribes regardless of skin color. And Tribes no longer exist. People just don't trust people who are not friends/family. Yeah, Racism was pretty common but it was also even more common to hate your neighbors who look more like you. Do you SINCERELY believe that Medieval Europeans hated blacks more than they hated random Germans who burned their village? Do you think that a Roman in northern Italy hated Gauls or Africans more?This is why I hate shit like "WHY ISN'T ARTHUR SAYING RACIST SHIT 24/7?" Yeah, you can say the KKK stuff is a bit cringe, but what in Arthur's personality would lead you to believe he would walk around saying nigger every other word? There isn't. All you can do is point to some nebulous time period and be like "Yeah he should be racist because other people were racist." And guess what? There were also full on anti-racist quakers since the fucking 1700s trying to end slavery. Humans are complex. The only thing I'll say is that if a character IS some hateful piece of shit they probably should be willing to go after race, but that is on a character-by-character basis. I've seen some people claim Seven should be racist and their evidence is that he is a criminal. He is a criminal because he was performing illegal magical rituals, what does any of that have to do with race?
>>745219095>1. Support a PatronFirst of all, half the characters shouldn't be supporting one. Why is Venator doing it? Why is Abrams doing it? If you need a reason, just say have them say: "The only way to kill a Patron, to truly kill one, is to summon them and strike them at their weakest. Working with this one? I'll kill two birds with one stone.">2. Be on the same team as a bunch of weirdos/VindictaDoes this even need to be addressed? Half of the banter in this game is "I'll kill you later". That is all that has to be said. "Working with Ixians? I consider it using them. After we finish off the enemy, they'll be next."
>>745231080You say that as if the Acadians and French weren't tapping every brown ass they could get their hands on.
So how do we feel about the upcoming PvE mode, /v/?
>>745235398I just hope they can maintain 3 game modes. I love Street Brawl, even if it is junk food, but the mode has gotten 0 meaningful updates in a while. It desperately needs more balance adjustments.
>>745235398You think they'll sell tour tickets like TF2?
>>745235452Eh street brawl is fine as is, maybe add a fully random queue but what I want is more experimental legendary items popping up
>>745235534I mean it needs balance. Some of the legendary items are horrible while others basically win you the game. Shrink Ray, not even enhanced, is pretty much an auto-win. Celestial Blessing Enhanced is an auto-win. They also need to make you select more heroes, as you said, because I have a friend who straight up plays 1 or 2 heroes only in the mode (while I all random).I don't think you really need more features, just more tuning for heroes and items.
>>745220019Silver is a>love the design, cannot play them for shitcharacter for me

>>745235664Street Brawl should be enforced all random with X number of hero blocks, like you can basically not random a few heroes of your choosing.
>>745235864>ANOTHER fucking key jingling patchWHEREISTHEMAJORUPDATE
>>745235690Oh so the imperial russian family lives on? Long live the Romanovs!
>>745236116>>745235864>escalating exposure holliday is now inTIME FOR KINO
>>745236312>>745235690no communism was still building up momentumbut Catherine the Great quite literally revived and turned Russia into a monarchy againsame way Germany is still an actual empire too in this one
>>745214029>Ixia is literally just puerto rico and inexplicably look like demons>yet another racism analogy where the victims literally have killing powers10/10 writing sasuga valvecant wait to slurp up more lore (but never character stories)
>>745226563Best response actually.Whenever Valve makes trash, say "They made this instead of Half-Life 3." Immediately ends any counterargument.
>>745225368that's funny actuallymake the southern hick a frenchie so he has an actual reason not to be uber racist like any good red blooded American circa the 1900swould still call them negros though
>>745233863I still don't understand how they don't have intro dialogue with each other when they were released in the same batch. I hope they get all the VAs back in the studio by launch to fill out all the missing lines
>>745235452Street Brawl is fine as it is. It's a low maintenance mode that just needs new legendary items occassionally. Any new heroes / item changes that come with the regular games already affect it.
>>745236479has there been any anti-ixian sentiment shown in the game at all?It honestly feels more like they're an accepted race with the only racism being Apollo calling infernus not Ixian enough and Venator calling them demons when killing them, which makes sense for his character
>>745214029I don't know who that is because I replaced the model with some vtuber uma musume shit because I don't like black people
>>745236853i don't think valve is focused on getting a lot of dialogue out right now, just the bare minimum to get the characters across
>>745236479Its better to deal with demon racism than negro rabbithole
>>745236116kidnapping is genuinely too centralizing so this is good change
>>745237116Warden and Venator is all that comes to mind. To be fair if demon is a recurring slur, then I would assume Ixian discrimination is canon.
>>745237095Like I said, it has needed a balance patch on certain legendaries for a while. It sucks to have a good game ruined because on round 5 they get shrinkray and now your left click team cannot win. Or they get celestial blessing enhanced and never die. OR they get something like seraphim wings and you get shadow strike.
>>745216083>>745216185The redesign:
>>745237441Ok if kidnapping is dead, can they buff door cooldown? 45 seconds is too high
>>745237874kidnapping is not dead, it's just not as free
>>745237259Based modGAWD
>>745238037Deadlock needs a centaur hero
>>745237452there should be more of it, the world was completely normal up until the late 1800s when all the magic shit and demons came about meaning majority of America was christian, seeing red skinned horned humanoids and stuff happening like the troubadour and vampires would most likely embolden the already religious populous
>>745237835>trying to learn Calico>using pic rel mod because I can't stand how she looks >think how cool she looks and sounds>remember I look like an ugly bald niggeress to everyone elseshe needs a redesign so badly
>>745238170You're thinking too hard, at a point Deadlock is just a tongue in cheek pulp fiction comic, it's not trying to be anything more.Think of it more like DOTA than a story that's trying to do anything.
>>745235102>people think the default state for a person is racismYes it is, depending on your definition of racism. You have to specify because the word itself barely means anything. If by racism, do you mean in-group preference? If so, then yes, almost everyone in the world and throughout history was racist. If by racism, do you mean violently hateful towards specifically outsiders? Then no, almost no one has ever been like that - even the people who get accused of being so. The problem is pozzed soi cuck leftists like you will motte and bailey the word. "People throughout history weren't racist (violently hateful bigots) unlike right wingers today (just want outsiders to stop killing their people).">People aren't born racist, it is something taught to you by your parentsA disgust of outsiders is instinctual and the idea this instinct is bad is drilled into kids in public schooling and the mainstream media. But there's environmental factors going either direction.>regardless of skin colorTrue, but race has nothing to do with skin color.>Tribes no longer existHow successful a relationship is depends on genetic similarity. Tribes don't exist, but people still want to live with their own. The only people who don't are economic migrants, who can't murder rich people so need to rely on predatory empathy instead, and the upper classes, who history has shown suffer from a dwindling sense of in-group loyalty ("the desert barbarians are no worse than us" they say, right before civilization collapses).>Do you SINCERELY believe that Medieval Europeans hated blacks more than they hated random GermansMedieval Europe was like half Germans. I doubt they hated black people, because they didn't think of black people at all. Why would you waste thoughts on someone on the other side of the planet who has nothing to do with you? Do I hate the Sentinelese? They're literally nothing to me.>Do you think that a Roman in northern Italy hated GaulsThey wore their armor.

>>745218681
>>745241402This sounds funny, link it Mr Redditman
>>745241669A lot of the characters are religious. There's literally a voice line about the Priest praying with other characters
>>745214308this is a bot, right? Surely nobody would waste their time searching for deadlock threads to post this retardation.

>>745214308I love this copypasta so much. It wouldn't be a complete deadlock thread without it.Been here since the first threads and boy what a ride
>>745242189Yes, I'm not gay, and we already established that you are gayPlease don't try to gay me on, It won't workUsing voicelines as "lore" is fucking gay, and stupid, and an artifact of your game having no real exposition characters, cutscenes or files to read
>>745242407>and my reason i don't do that?>that's right, some random youtube nigger took it to its illogical extreme and made a clickbait video about it>heh, beat THAT...
if they ever add a Friends of Humanity character, it should be a non-human species that is pretending to be a human in a grotesque way like wearing human skin and false teeth like someone who became so enamored with humanity that he became self-hating for whatever species he is and is now the biggest advocate for humanity despite not being human
>>745242537I already posted the reason.It's just normally gay to you so you don't register it.You don't understand the difference between lore and character development.To you it's the same thing, because you are a retard (and proven gay)>Hi Seven!>Piss off sleep rat>You are grumpy, I don't like you!It's fine. That's character development.>Hi Seven! How's your soul doing? Still looking for it?>Piss off sleep rat from the Sleep Dimension.>You are grumpy, for an immortal being with no soul!, I don't like you and neither does Calico, her lover Haze that's my mom and the sacred puppy of Olemitus!That's you, that's gay and retarded.But it's fine because I don't think you can understand the difference between both dialogues (because you are not smart enough), you probably think one is "few boring lore" and the other is "big big lore!"
>>745217063*were* on the sweet baby inc client list.They dropped sweet baby after the neon prime swap. A lot of NP's lore was Sweetbaby informed but they refactored it realizing how cringe it was, not just the art style.Holliday and ginnis from NP used to be lesbos iirc
>>745242812so a human tranny
>>745242062>characters talk about how they're religious with a Priest>"not canon!"Bait or retardation?
>>745242926>and now i'll proceed to make more strawmen to further entrench my retard caseYou're getting boringDon't wall of text me again thanks
people who dislike Deadlock are blizzard employees who are just upset that this game is gonna inevitably eat OW's lunch when it gets finally released all the accusations of being woke and whatever are just projection. OW is far more woke and disgusting than Deadlock
>>745243040see>>745242926unless you also want to be proven gay and stupid>>745243041>Don't understand it with few lines>Don't understand it with a wall of explanationYeah it's not like i'm going to make a puppet show for you, you are already proven to be fucking stupid and gayIt's not like I have teacher superpowersIf you don't get it that's it(and you don't get it)
>>745243137>understandThis isn't a serious debate where we're dealing in enlightenment and educationThis is a circus where you're the main act, and you're not even good at that
>>745239852The entire point is that the American version of racism was invented in the 1600s/1700s. There was no such thing as "white" and you had Benjamin Franklin calling like 80% of europe "swarthy."People are dumb and think that Seven should call everyone niggers because he is a guy who does whatever is necessary for power.
>>745241402This is pretty funny because the Urn literally mentions the Shroud of Turin.Meaning Jesus Christ exists.He died for your sins and the Big G is an actual existence in DeadlockAlso I don't get why they hate Christianity so much when so much of occultism is tied to Catholic and Orthodox and Hebrew shit.
>1940s-50s settinf>no KKK >no mention of slavery>no nazis>no commies>no world wars>the only racism is demon racism>friends of humanity is the human supremacist groupWhy did valve do it?
>>745243137If that's the case why use the world lore at all when talking about characters? In what way could a character reveal their religion in the "lore"? If anything you were stupid for this post >>745241669
>>745243787>40s/50sIt is definitely more 1920s lil bro
>>745243787Your target audience, sire.
>>745233863He hates her because she is being manipulated by the older vampires and vampire politics which he distanced from. It even sounds like concern if you read into it. He really hates vampire politics ans realizes a kid is now diving head first into it
>>745243787Wait, you WANT a game where the black characters whine about slavery and civil rights constantly?
>>745243787>>745244035its genuinely a smart way to "sanitize" the setting while keeping it interestingalso im fucking TIRED of every damn 20st century setting devolving into the dogshit world war 2 mythos
>>745243787>1950s>mention of slavery???????????????????>KKKBy the 50s the KKK was a tiny, retrograde, meme club in Georgia.>>745243995Lady Geist is the only character that looks like she is from the 20s and that is the point. She is an elderly women with good, but outdated tastes. Maybe Abrams by virtue of being a square detective in a timeless conservative suit.Paige, Billy and Graves look more like the 1970s, but they are outliers.
There probably should be more anti-ixian sentiment or at least ixian skepticism, but I can understand why the suddent introduction of demons, unicorns, and magic would make it so black people and white people hate one another less.However, based on unused dialogue we know that there are more anti-ixian heroes incoming or at the very least it was more of a thing in the lore at one point.
>>745243879Because the lore should be a big thing that the world is built upon, not a throwaway comment?
>>745244465paige looks like velma, who is a character from the 60s that was considered behind in fashion at the time
>>7452446521. They're planning on making VNs for at least the major heroes that is going to go more in depth into the lore and setting.2. Valve has ALWAYS expanded lore through dialogue. It is one of the best parts of their writing. Mentioning things that heroes would know without looking at the camera to explain them is good. If I mention the Revolutionary War to someone I don't need a diatribe to give some invisible viewer the context.3. The game is not even in open beta yet, they're probably still working on the lore and settings.People like you are the reason why the Star Wars Prequels exist.>WHAT? LUKE SKYWALKER SAID CLONE WARS ONCE? WE NEED AN ENTIRE TRILOGY AND A CARTOON SERIES ABOUT THE CLONE WARS RIGHT NOW, THAT IS TOO MAJOR FOR SOMEONE TO JUST MENTION!!!!

>>745244652It's still Earth... what's your evidence that most people aren't religious (which is true to Earth). You claim there's only one religious character but you have no evidence for that

>>745244783People like me used to go to the character profile and there's his full story and that's itPeople like you are the reason you lore is constructed on throwaway comments, because you can't fucking read anymore
>>745245290No, I mean actual gremlins. The World Wars never happened but the setting apparently has a ton of airships so having a more scrappy mechanic based hero compared to McGinnis would be kino.
>>745245460>tiny gremlin with huge wrenchFuck... it'd be kino...
>>745245449Some of the characters have fully written backstories, others are Jacob Lash is an asshole because THE GAME IS NOT FINISHED YET.
>>745245652Thats Lash's actual lore retard its never gonna get longer

you guys think yoshi will crawl out of his cave one last time before the year ends? and im not referring to the usual fucking christmas or halloween event
>>745245880It will get expanded, but the first line will still probably remain that Lash is an asshole.
>>745237116>Apollowho the hell cares about the opinions of a needy nepobaby like apollo?
>>745246054Ruins the joke.

>>745246340Celeste's head is like twice as big as it should be.
>>745216125This is literal cope. I really like Deadlock and have 400 hours in. Pocket is a they/them even though I always refer to him as a he because he is obviously a man but Valve just genuinely considers him to be a they/them. Just admit the game has a cringe character bro, it happens. It is 2026 and you cannot have a game without some kind of retard representation. At least Pocket has a cool design/voice so he doesn't feel awful to play like that one Overwatch dude/chick that is ugly as fuck.
>>745245460gremlin character should be a whole troop of them working together to operate a heavy machine (made out of machines they've broken; planes they caused to crash, etc)
>>745244782Late 60s to early 70s would be more specific, but I couldn't be bothered. Keep in mind that the original Scooby Doo started in September of 1969, so saying Velma is a character from the 60s, not the 70s, is only true in the most pointless and pedantic manner. Velma was not particularly behind in fashion. Skirts as short the one she wore would not have existed in the early 60s.
