Thanks for the heads up. I've gone ahead and passed this on to the devs who rolled out the previous changes.

We'll look into it!

The Drask lantern has been fixed and Trial’s leaderboards are back online, everyone!

Thanks for your patience while we sorted this out.

What are your thoughts on this Hunt Pass' cosmetics and theme?

Just meh, they were not my cup of tea.

Which item from the Hunt Pass track did you like the most and why?

This season I'm only using the Free track and the best there were Platinum (now I get them while not spending any) and Ace Chips. If I have to pick just one then definitely Platinum.

Did you purchase any of the Hunt Pass cosmetics sold in the store?

Nope. Just like with the Hunt Pass' cosmetics they weren't my style.

What are your thoughts so far on these Seismic contracts? How do you feel about the approach of releasing them over a period of time?

Not a fan to be honest. It's somehow confusing. I didn't get the idea how to get the Seismic Intel until I took a look in the Hunt Pass and found a Contract in the Store. Not sure when exactly new Contracts are available.

Although this will be the last HP with Contract-driven narrative, if it helps: The Seismic Contracts will be dropping weekly. As you earn Seismic Intel there and elsewhere you'll start to unlock separate, story-based quests. These aren't time-gated by the calendar so much as they're gated by the amount of Intel you've collected--but since the contracts *are* looking at the calendar, we were aiming to keep the story coming over a longer period of time.

But if wishes were fishes we'd all cast nets, as my favourite baliset player once said, and intentions don't equal reception (Gurney Halleck didn't say that part, I added it). So we've taken the feedback on Contracts to heart and are going to work hard to improve the narra...

Missing banner plant makes me cry a little.

Loved you added vault coins as rewards.

Contracts are meh... A kill quest... Snore, make it so I have to hunt a certain behemoth or have one guarding some Intel I need to investigate, I like the idea of it leading up to an event like escalations but loads of cool stuff could of been done,missed oportunity.

Investigating Intel should be... Investigating Intel, clues like feathers or spines from a new unreleased behemoth you find while out on hunts.

As u/jordanpowpow mentions elsewhere, this will be the last Hunt Pass to rely on Contracts as a means of progressing the story. They have been a useful workaround for releasing quests at more specific or controlled times, but we now have a system in place that allows for more flexibility and won't require store interaction. So get ready for more story-driven quests tied to the Hunt Pass in the future, but not the store.

As for the Intel, we are working on some things very much along the lines of what you describe. Lore objects (name TBD) will, in the the coming months (I can't yet be more specific) be part of our new Journal system. You want lore? Intel? Stories? We are slowly but surely opening the nozzle on that firehose of information and I couldn't be happier about it.

Its nice overall just one thing about ultra armor, some part of the set cannot be colored it sucks for a elite armor then cannot color some part it dont feel like worth the elite status

and for the Hunt Pass cosmetics sold in the store, i did not buy any it feels like overprice and not worth the plat

Thank you for the feedback! It's good to know what makes an elite armor FEEL elite.

The contracts according to the blog post are going to be added weekly, so we should be able to claim a new one later today/tomorrow.

That's true -- but the fact that some players aren't aware is still good feedback for us to take away! Thanks for clarifying, though :)

Yeah! Very cool suggestion. We've used a lot of kill quests and it's clear there's room there to build some exciting new objectives. Thanks for dropping your feedback!

This is great feedback, thanks! I totally hear you on the contracts. We're cooking up a new system for delivering those kinds of seasonal quests

I just want to say, as a new player, I really appreciate the dev's response. I've been only playing DotA2 since 2014, but have been looking for a new game to play. I love DotA2 but valve is pretty detached.

I tried getting into Paladins but it feels like such a cash grab. I started this game last weekend and I've been loving it so far! It's got the fortnite graphics, which I love, but it's so much more fun! I just wish it had an open world aspect like Warframe.

I did buy the battle pass, but I really like how you give the free players a lot of content. Keep up the good work guys!

Thanks so much for your kind words and welcome to the community!

Hey! I totally understand your frustration - the past few patches have had a lot of bugs. That's 100% on us, and we are working hard to raise our quality bar. I hope you see that by shutting the leaderboards off and working to fix the exploit asap that we are showing that we hear you and that we care.

Sorry, you'll still get the marks rewards for your efforts.

Could you enable it in 10 hours (when quillweek is over) because you can't use it against malk (if the new trialsbehemoth is a new one it probably won't be able to use it against that one too)

We're going to reenable the boards when the fix is out. We'll update you when this happens!

I said it in the meta chat, but I wanted to also say here to all of PHXL who may read this, thank you very very much for taking these matters more seriously. It means a lot that PHXL is trying to preserve the competitive integrity of the game mode and competition in general.

Thanks for the positive vibes!

You will still get your rewards from your time on the Quillshot trial if you ended in the top 100. The leaderboards are disabled, but they are not deleted.

Why you do this to us Derp

I assume you're kidding, but in case you are not: This is on us, not on anyone in the community.

We needed to set the precedent that when there are exploits that undermine the competitive nature of the gamemode that we take action to stop it and fix it as soon as possible.
