Pig chow sounds like a type of leftover casserole 🥘 why not? Thanks for the suggestions!

Edit: is now pigchow bc mud should be saved for someone else making a mud gauntlet.

Truly a collaborative experience!

Wow, cool! Thanks for commenting on my concept!

I didn't mean "pigslop" in a messy sense, it's just that I highly doubt the sorcery would also summon a trough to neatly contain it. (Although this class's emote should be eating from a trough or smth)

If it would satisfy you, you can add a Lysol logo on the puddles to show that it's clean.

Phew. I'd stay away from Lysol though as it could be dangerous to the little fellows if they consume it. Maybe call it 'pig chow' or alternatively lean into their love of mud and as a bonus the elemental concept and have it summon mud for them to roll around in.

Thematically, you have a problem: I used to take care of a bunch of pigs and other than the horses, they were by far the cleanest of the animals (cows and chickens make some fierce messes!).

Almost 20 years ago, I literally made a class for a game called "Hivekeeper".

It shot BEES at you.

Hi omg thank you I registered with my discord ID Spring #5524 instead of my spellbreak ID Achimey #4601

Just to double check, the SB id is Achimey #4601 WITH a space? (rather than Achimey#4601 WITHOUT a space)

Will there be any rewards for people who already own the skins yet still participate? Or is this purely for those who weren't able to pick up these skins earlier (until the next 'Season' of Hollowbot)?

Later events will likely have things you don't yet have, but it's definitely targeted at the people haven't been able to get these yet.

Hey y’all,

Lately I’ve been writing a lot about matchmaking, hotfixes, and the like - but this is an entirely different kind of post!

A few months ago, a couple of us were talking about how we could create a system to encourage and reward people for participating in various streams and the community in general (not just on Discord, but on Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, and so on as well). Would it be possible to give players a path towards earning a Hollow outfit instead of continually hoping for good RNG? Turns out, it is now…

Meet HollowBot!

Think of it like a free battle pass for Discord.

HollowBot will be used to track your participation in community events. Each event has a list of rewards that require a number of points. Points can be earned by players by completing various tasks and then letting the bot know. At the end of an event, all rewards that you’ve unlocked will be distributed and then we’ll kickoff the next eve...

At what time will the update be released?

Rolling out now, so should be live in the next hour or so. Maybe less.

Happy Tuesday,

After a work-filled weekend, seems you devs are good for something after all.

We’re rolling out another hotfix today that includes the following:

  • Fixed a number of client crashes for PC builds (Steam/EGS). This is an optional client update that went out last night.
  • A few server crashes have been fixed.

We’re also continuing to iterate on matchmaking (and will continue to do so after the holidays but we wanted to get this out before the break as a temporary measure) and will be implementing the following changes:

  • In regions outside of North America, ALL platforms will now matchmake together (except Playstation and Xbox players who have disabled crossplay).
  • For Mage Rank 23 and higher matches, all platforms will matchmake together, including North America.
  • Players on US-west may matchmake with US-east players.
  • For Playst...

Hey folks,

We’ve decided to rollback the matchmaking changes that we started making yesterday and continued tweaking today. Unfortunately, no matter what we tried, it wasn’t delivering a better experience for you or meeting the goals we outlined in our previous post. Ultimately, it wasn’t flexible enough to match players up appropriately and that’s not acceptable.

Once the rollback is complete, matchmaking will behave like it did at the launch of Chapter 1 with one additional tweak: Players at Mage Rank 23 and higher will be placed in their own matchmaking bucket allowing them to face players of similar experience.

The ...

Hey all,

We’re going to be rolling out server-side updates to matchmaking and bots, starting today and going through the weekend and into early next week, and I wanted to share some of the details of why we’re making the changes, what they are, and talk about bots and their role in this in a way we haven’t before.

tl;dr Matchmaking takes place from the main menu now instead of the lobby and is more flexible, better accounting for things like mage rank and region. Also in an update on early next week, bots will have the ability to be much smarter.

One quick, not matchmaking-related, note on Updraft

With an update early next week, we’re also going to be fixing the very unintended Updraft exploit where players can fling themselves exceedingly high into the air by using certain runes in combination with Tornadoes and Updraft. After this is live, there shouldn’t be any change to normal Updraft usage, but if you try to t...

Hey everybody,

Welcome to the Chapter 1: The Spellstorm release notes! With this release, the Chapter system kicks off in earnest and we've got a whole lot of content coming in with it. We'll be updating the clients and servers December 15 at 10AM EST (so this is not live yet, but will be soon after you read this).

Let's get into it!

edit: I missed a change to Safeguard potions. The normal ones stack to 2 now. The large ones are unchanged.

I'm going to be testing a new discord bot (HollowBot) today at 2PM EST on Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/proletariat_inc

Come help debug and see if it actually works with more people than just me trying to use it! (Also if you want a sneak peek at what it is...)

Hi! Thanks for the coffee post!

There's a lot all wrapped up in here. I won't be able to respond to a lot of it for a variety of reasons (plans aren't firm, don't want to announce stuff buried in the comment of a random post, not my place to talk about, and more!), but let's see what I can talk about. I'm going to break from your ordering because I think about things differently, so I hope that's okay!

Balance / progression

It shouldn't be especially surprising that there are changes coming to a lot of the stuff you (and others) have mentioned as well as some things you haven't. I don't want to talk about them in any detail since they're still subject to change but Recovery, Pyro, Frostborn (whaaaaat?!), Tempest, lightning, ice, stone, and a bunch of other things are being touched in a variety of ways next release.

As for progression, yeah, I feel you. Prologue was intended to be easy/fast but coming out at the same...

Thanks a lot for the clarification guys! My only other major question I had is: Will there be a way to equip lesser versions of the skin? I can see myself wanting to use the first version instead of being stuck to the 'best'

This is feedback we have heard a lot (even before this thread) and something we're discussing.

Can you unlock the upgrades before buying the skin. Aka if I buy it very late in the chapter 1, do I make progress towards to upgrade before buying it?

I honestly can't speak to a lot of the feature details since we're actively working on it. Ideally, yes, you'd be able to "save up" progress towards upgrading an outfit though.

Hey all,

Wanted to share some thoughts in response to all of the feedback on the Smoldering Warrior and associated elemental-themed outfits over the past 18 hours.

First, we should have better communicated ahead of time that these were never intended as class mastery rewards. They’ve been kicking around for a year or two at this point (in concept art, press screens, leaks, and more) and while we’ve said on multiple occasions that they would not be mastery rewards, it’s clear that there was some confusion around them and we should have better anticipated these concerns. Apologies for this!

Second, the epic and legendary tiers of these outfits will NOT be sold in the store. Instead, the later tiers will be unlocked by upgrading the rare version of the outfit by progressing through an upcoming Chapter Pass. The design goal here is to give you something to work towards and let you show off your dedication to the outfit. This functionality is ...

Right now there are very little options to customize gyro. Seeing as it feels a bit "floaty" right now I think we should for example be able to also adjust deadzones for gyro.

Look at Hi-Rez games (Paladins, Rogue Company,...) for inspiration. They actually have a mode you can toggle that processes the gyro inputs in a way that makes them even snappier.

They do :)

Gyro controls are very much a first pass. Thanks for the feedback!
