Beetlejess currently gives 75% Pistol Critical Damage with her standard perk, but only 25% with her commander perk, is this intended ?

Supposed to be 225%. You can use her as It gives you the correct 225% crit damage buff, the tooltip is just incorrect.

Still no wooden pickax bug on the trello, and no fix in the patch notes. Tried getting in touch with you again u/magyst but no response. Is this being actively worked on or...?

Hey! The AMA blasted my inbox. I accepted you on discord, send those logs!

I’m not sure if this is intended or not, but it looks like we can’t reset heroes that were in the collection book.

A: Definitely not annoyed! We value your feedback and many of us read it daily.

One of the best ways to work with us is being constructive in your feedback. Being able to clearly explain an issue or a change in a constructive way definitely helps us ingest all of the feedback and deliver it in a clear way to the development team.

I'd like to echo Magyst's reply and we do especially love feedback when presented in a clear, constructive manner. As a good really recent example, we'd started talking internally about revisiting the gold cap and daily coins in the future, but accelerated our plans to get changes into 7.40 & 8.00 after multiple threads called out pain points, specifically around the tail end of this season, insufficient information about hero loadout, and the mythics in the event store. We're actually extending Wukong, Subzero Zenith, and Lynx Kassandra in the event store until 8.20 as well.

 

If I'm being 100% honest, sure, there are certainly times when I see some threads that make me personally sigh a little, but at the end of the day:

  • pretty much all of us love games ourselves, so we totally identify with excitement or frustration over things
  • we realize that even, shall we say, "less than constructive" posts often can come from a source of passion or just...

Many heroes change their appearance/skin when being leveled up, is there a possibility we can select between these skins? Many of the lower lvl skins are fantastic and it's a shame they're not seeing much use.

Agreed this is less than ideal. Not actively working on this right this moment, but acknowledged and also on our radar.

To follow up, does that mean completing a daily challenge will now give us 240 gold where it used to give 100 daily coins?

That’s correct!

Hey Everyone!

We wanted to take a moment to say how excited we are for the Hero Loadout. We’re extremely happy at the response we’ve seen from both the Dev Update and the Hero Loadout Blog.

We realize that this is going to be a substantial change and that there will be several ways to customize ...

Can the rarity of 5-Star Materials be reduced? It's so difficult to find Brightcore and Sunbeam on high end Twine Peaks, and what's the story behind 6-Star Materials?

When we rework Twine Peaks for endgame players we will extend the difficulty bands up, and Tier 5 crafting materials will be much more common in these higher-difficulty missions.

We built out the Tier 6 crafting materials back before launch as a future-proofing thing, so we could eventually bump up the power level of our items, but they were not supposed to be available in the wild. Even if we eventually add an additional tier, we'll create new crafting materials instead of reusing those old ones.

Will there be a zone following twine peaks that is related to the “rainbow crystal” etc. or was this plan abandoned?

Before the game launched we built an extra tier of crafting ingredients as a future-proofing thing, but they were never supposed to be released into the wild. We don't have any short-term plans to add an additional tier of items to the game, but if we eventually do release an additional tier, we will likely create new crafting materials instead of using the existing ones.

Any plans for an axe focused hero?

In the new loadout system you should be able to make heroes that are really strong at melee.

Will you add something to counter propane tanks or change some weapons to not set them off because currently there is few ways to deal with them and most weapons set them off.

You can hit them back with the pickaxe, which i think is really fun. I've seen a lot of amazing strats from the community on how to counter propane huskies.

Is there anything being done about people who AFK / Ignore the objectives?

Right now we do action people through the reporting system, but we're actively working on improving on AFK detection in general, with hopes of booting AFK players out of match more accurately/quickly in the future. Still needs multiple iterations.
