I think I've been playing too much auto chess. I was just watching a TV show and when a large man was talking to a smaller woman, my brain thought for an instance "that man is 2 starred and she's still a 1 star."

I'm also running a fever, though, so that could be part of it.

Update: 18 May @ 11:14am

- Realtime update: Players will be updated and informed with the ranking changes and candy rewards for the game when eliminated, instead of at the end of the game. Eliminated players are free to continue spectatng or start a new game.
- Added new feature: Click-and-Place: you can now left-click on your pieces to select and move them, instead of selecting the Courier first then the ability, which allows you to change the team formation with increased ease. (Smooth as silk!) Disabled by default and can be enabled at top right corner.
- You can now move pieces directly among your bench slots to sort them as you like.
- Optimized battle AI for chess pieces to avoid repeated attack points.
- Optimized movement AI for chess pieces to address the problem which ranged pieces doing additionl leaps even enemies are within attck range.
- Optimized melee pieces' AI to allow them attack and cast abilities diagonally.
- Optimized AI of Tiny, Queen of Pain, Axe, Juggernaut and etc. They will no longer cast abilities when no enemies are around.
- Optimized the abilitiy backswing of Morphing and Sniper, and fixed a bug which Waveform causing Morphling landing on an unexpected square.
- Optimized AI of summoned units. They will now immediately start battling after being summoned.
- Priests' Barrier now simply rounds the amount of damage reduced to the nearest integer, instead of always rounding down.
- Shadow Shaman's Hex and Scythe of Vyse now tend to target higher-leveled pieces.
- Reworked animate portrait to corretly display pieces and Couriers as much as possible (most of the Couriers are seen as blank previously).
- Improved accuracy in calculating last standing times to avoid players who died at the same instance receiving different ranking and rewards.
- Reworked some cosmetic items for Drow Ranger and Clockwerk.
- Fixed minor bugs.

Patch notes have really improved. Would have probably been something like "tiny ai fix" before.

All the improvements sounds really good. Interested to see which units improve most from the ai tweaks.

I tried the mobile app for the first time. It seems alright, but it'll take some time to recognize the units more quickly. They all kinda blend together with the simplified style.

I tried Auto Chess today for the first time today and I like it. Played the mobile version which is still a bit janky. Had anyone tried Areno of Evolution: Red Tides? That is also on iOS and basically a more polished clone. What do Veterans think of that game?

Man, I only played a few rounds of the Dota mod but this phone version is really streamlined and good. I've played about 6 matches so far and it's so much better on a touch screen. I think this is gonna get me into the game pretty deep.

We had great conversations, but we both came to the conclusion that Valve and Drodo could not work directly with each other for a variety of reasons. We ended up agreeing that we'll each build our own stand-alone version of the game, and support each other to the fullest.

Drodo has been working on their own, non-Dota mobile game and the beta is out now. We've worked with them to help the existing DAC mod players migrate their account progress over to their new game. It looks pretty cool so far, we encourage you to go check it out.

As for us, with Drodo's blessing, a group of people here at Valve are currently working on a standalone Dota version. We'll share more information about this soon.

I wonder how Vale will handle RNG items. Drodo always said this game was casual and they liked the randomness of the item system which I know a lot of people dislike.

S1 and the battle pass and reservation rewards for mobile are also out.

One thing people have noticed that's irking people is the special season avatar reward requires completing 80 weekly quests. There's 8 weeks left (including the current one). This week has 10 quests, 3 of which are locked behind the battle pass.

If it's the same number of quests a week, you need to basically do *every* quest and also have the battle pass to even be able to get it.

Is the battle pass on iOS way more expensive or something? I could get the senior pass for about 9.99, and buy levels for 0.99? Or did i accidentally buy it or somehow get it free?!

Also I tried to sign up with a drodo account but it just signed me in and didn't ask for an email or anything, so how do I login to my account if my phone explodes or I want to play on another platform? I think I do have a dragonest account but I don't see how the game could have figured out what it was.

hmm I think I missed the drodo account thing and it just signed me in as a guest. Sounds like you can use your mobile number, but i couldn't see how.

When I open 'Chess pass' I have something where it is giving you rewards with level, and then there is a senior pass you can buy with 6800 donuts or something.

I tried Autochess once in Dota 2 and it was too confusing as someone who doesn't play Dota, the in-game UI in the app makes it all much easier to understand (and control).

How do we influence what pieces get a rebalance when we have the pass?

I think the one thing I would love in Autochess is the ability to see what opponent you will face next round. This would make positioning more important and allow better players to beat lesser players
