I don't know, I get a lot of lag spikes but my ping is usually at about 70 in the US.
Aovstats says welcome, though that was gleamed from a youtuber, but Ignis was right, so...
They want parity with EU so I bet they will do the wonder woman badge event
I just noticed I never got rid of all of my badges and there is no way to remove them from my inventory now. So that's kind of an annoyance.
good, good...
off topic - do all heroes have the same attack speed right out the gate?
yeah haha - those 3 Arthur badges will haunt me forever
looking at ~10 heroes attributes, yeah 0% for attack speed on everyone. so could be a fun thing to invest in arcana eafrly on?
FYI: the interview will take me a bit to transcribe because the spokesperson was a little difficult to understand. I'll have it up on Monday or Tuesday.
For the sake of this thread and discussion here, I will go ahead and disclose that, according to Tencent, a lot of the finer details about the Switch launch are still in the air and under discussion.
He did mention that the positive North American response has been welcome and that the team is wanting catch up the US market to where Europe is. He said that the mobile test servers were prepared first in Europe, and so the Switch test servers were also prepared first. After the EU Switch beta concludes, they'll make a more concentrated effort to do everything at the same time.
He did not have a solid window to offer me for the US Switch beta or Switch launch. He also said that Tencent is still trying to decide if accounts will be shared between Switch and mobile, and if there will be cross-play between the two, or if they will make those accounts completely separate. He said the team is concerned that by sharing accounts and servers between the two versions, it could lead to complaints about unfair advantages on one platform or the other. They have not made a decision in that regard.
I also asked about pricing on the Switch -- whether they would keep the same free-to-play / in-game purchases model, or opt for a premium one-time purchase model. He said that Tencent focuses on monetization last, and that gameplay, balance, controls, and roster all come before that discussion. He made it clear that monetization is something they're not concerned with figuring out right at this moment; they just want to get the gameplay right in all of its facets.
He also said that, at this point in time, the DC Heroes are seen as a permanent part of the Arena of Valor game. He wasn't concerned about any future licensing woes.

Kinda poking fun at my harritage. I'm half Japanese, 1/4 Italian, and 1/4 German. Some would say I'm a 3 time loser.
Alright good to know. Hope they get better servers once the switch version releases.
Thanks for the info. Maybe I'll feel differently once I play it on switch but right now I hope they allow crossplay. The way I see it there's already a lot of potential advantages. Different phones, emulators, Bluetooth controllers, their new iPhone X and other full screen devices ui, etc.. The switch seems like it'll provide some advantages and some disadvantages but nothing too unfair. But again this is all said without actually having played it on switch to know for sure.
Dumb question. I never figured out what to do with the card for the holiday/Christmas cards so I ended up with an Ignis and a Gildur card. No clue what to do with them. Only option now is to sell them for 1gold.
Yeah, I think I have the ideal two-pager:
AD ARCANA:
-Red: Onslaught
-Purple: 3x Reave | 7x Guerrilla
-Green: Skewer
AP ARCANA:
-Red: Violate
-Purple: Devour
-Green: Hex
If I get another Zorn and Valhein on my team again, Im gonna throw my phone against the wall. Also fuck afk'ers.
In 3v3 im pretty sure there has to be one Valhein on each team before you start, and there must be at least one Yorn as well.
OP
OP
Yeah and I have an s7e so my phone isn't that out of date. I probably need to do a factory reset again but it's a pain in the ass.
HEY! I play Yorn in 3v3 just because I'm tired of people who don't know how to play him auto locking and going 0 and 10.
Although I usually stick with ranked, I've been messing around in 3v3 just to get a feel for champions I want to play that aren't Ormarr and Zephys. I've been enjoying Yorn quite a bit but he has almost 0 escape other than his small stun so if you get stuck you are dead. I'm still getting 1 Valhein per game in ranked at gold 3, I thought it would die off as I got further into ranks, but it doesn't.
I'm kind of wondering what these people have that load almost instantly. I have a note 8 (which is pretty quick) and still have people loading 5 seconds before I do. Does the game work with bluestacks or something?
I've experienced variances in my loading time. It might be based more on connection and less on hardware. Sometimes I jump to 100% almost right after the loading screen comes up, and sometimes I'm sitting at 50-60% after everyone else is already at 100.
I'll have to take a look, I can't see how it would work with a touch interface and two thumb control with a mouse / hotkeys.
Looks like they just posted patch notes for the January 16th US/Canada patch.

YESSSSSSS that's what I was hoping for. It has Iphone X and android listed for the screen size update, because mine is the same resolution as the X (or similar) and it has big black bars. Those will now be gone. Hell yes.
Think wonderwoman is released on friday? not sure when the event will be, doing a basic video, i like her passive heal stuff. her ult seems weird for low elo play, people will not be coordinated enough to take advantage
Yeah, I am curious how that will work. Just gotta hope people learn how to take advantage.
Lindus seems very cool - I'm not usually a Marksman player but her vision abilities are very unique.
honestly, anything that needs mics or teamwork.... idk.... people dont look at the minimap even when you kill the seagull. I play Alice and i'm pretty sure people don't realize my ult does silence. Lindis is more fun for her rapid fire stuff, dipping into the bush is kinda fun, but im unsure of her at gold/silver
BTW dropped from Gold III to Silver 1, lol
It happens with dropping ranks. I won like 8 or 9 games in a row and went up from silver 2 to gold 4, but then lost and went back down to silver, now I'm back at gold 3. I don't even know when I'll get enough games where someone doesn't go AFK or start feeding when they are angry to get into plat. I hope soon.
actually surprised they are leading off with Wonder Woman from the DC heroes, kinda happy honestly. (but i want joker!)
OP
OP
Not at this moment, but there are a few other European people in here who were looking.
I play Yorn as well, Im just joking around and pointing out that I see Valhein and Yorn allllllll the time.
I'd love to be good as Astrid, I love that ult so much and she seems mechanically easy, but I suck.
looks like the servers are down
looks like the servers are down
Oh man Zill is really clicking for me!
I fucking hate him
Welcome to team Astrid, she's amazing.
Yeah still can't log in but I was able to log in for a few minutes .My ping was 71 which it's usually near the 200s . It looks great on the iPhone X now.
Always thought it was connection related but I think in nearly every game I've played, loading for me goes from 0 to 100% in the blink of an eye. I'm on an iphone 8 plus.
So what gives with these "update rewards" for a hero that hasn't been added yet (Lindis)? Was it even possible to get her from the chests?
Read the fine print. Only during the noon and evening time periods. Specifically right now, 11-14:00 later today
Well why the hell doesn't it say the time zone then?
And do you have any idea what the chest contains?
