Any update on missing blood?

Comment

Hey Youbekay! This is a known issue, and we'll be resolving it next patch, but due to the impact of the current state of the live game, and impact to future development, we think we can make a better experience by focusing on current bugfixes and feature work for the upcoming patch instead of using those same resources to get a fix out for this specific issue now.

We know it sucks, and we've added additional test coverage to some of our test suites to ensure we catch this particular issue in future builds, but we feel like the risk to stability outweighs the value we'd provide to players. But we'll have it fixed during the next planned patch!

Been having a problem with planting and defusing the spike for the past month or so. If I have the spike and walk into the area to plant, it automatically starts planting without me pushing any buttons and I can’t cancel it when it starts. Keep getting killed from this and the same thing happens with defusing. Many rounds lost and want to see this fixed. I can submit clips of this if necessary.

what button is planting the spike bound to? try changing it and see

This sounds like a mistake (or your friend isn't being completely honest) feel free to have them send me a reddit message with their username and I'll review their case.

In the future can we know if we played against a cheater/who it was?

Comment

I don't have an ETA but I'm definitely interested in having feedback for cheating bans. At the very least I want the players that reported the cheater to know that a punishment was given but if I can I'd also like to notify the people who played with the cheater.

I'd like us to find a way to undo the damage done by cheaters but we haven't figure out a good approach yet let alone scheduled the work. So it's probably not coming soon.

We've been talking about reverting competitive games but we have concerns about the inaccuracy from a revert being worse than the inaccuracy from playing with cheaters. To revert the matches accurately we'd probably need to recalculate the MMR of most other matches but there might be an acceptable shortcut that we can use.

Support for OCE!!!!

Hey arkem! Are there any updates? I know we are all itching to get on the servers! Thanks!

I don't want to steal anyone's thunder but I think there'll be more information coming this week.

It was 100% an intentional decision to make the default keybind for toggle map capslock so when I check map then message a friend, IT COMES OUT LIKE THIS, THEN I END UP ASKING “DO YOU WANT TO PLAY VALORANT”. Thus, he remembers VALORANT is in all caps, and repeats the cycle, map or not. Soon I am in games typing with my opponents extreme bannable trash talk friendly banter, and at the end we all mention how great VALORANT is. We love VALORANT just the way it is and we would never want to change VALORANT to lower case letters. Long live our supreme leader Riot Supercakes for delivering us VALORANT.

😂😂😂

Cool, thanks for the insight! I really appreciate all the transparency from you guys, both with League and Valorant VALORANT (is it too late to drop the capital letters thing?)

Also glad you like the transparency. We all want to talk to you guys. Some of us are a little shy, so it’s nice to show them threads like these as encouragement to get out there and talk! :)

Lol I don’t know. Pwyff might be sad if we drop the ALL CAPS.

How much do you (I’m assuming you’re on the art team because you’re super active in this thread) and other members of the art team get to play the game? I assume the balance team and playtesters are playing all the time both for work and fun, but what about the artists? Are they 10 ranks above the balance team just like league? (I joke) Or do you just play casually?

I’m a producer for the team, so I’m not an artist. But the team I’m on (skins/cosmetics) is mostly artists.

On our team, we all play a lot in our free time. We all test the game 2x per week at work (have to test new patches), but you’re right that design plays way more than that since it’s their core job to test new gameplay stuff. I probably played like 15 hrs over this past weekend. I guess that’s casual, depending on who you ask. I do ranked only since I always prefer ranked modes to normal modes. I play the game because I genuinely love the game. But it is also a necessity for everyone so we understand (and actually feel) things like competitive integrity.

In terms of skill, it varies for all of us. Nickwu is on our team and he’s a god. But the rest of us range from plat to iron. We all love the game, but not all of us are amazing at it.

For sure! I don’t know much about how the work cycle goes in there with different teams and how much time would be required to make small adjustments (and if they even need to be made, I’m sure there’s some person out there who LOVES the orange accents on the Avalanche stuff). Y’all already got me hooked for a while, 200+ hours played since day 1 (most time I’ve ever had to game because quarantine and unemployment checks are more then I was earning anyway lol). Keep doing what you’re doing and I’d be overjoyed if any of my feedback made it in

Aww tyty. You guys are all awesome. You’re what’s keeping us getting through work during this quarantine. Not even joking. I think I’d be losing my mind at home if I wasn’t working on the game and seeing all of you experience it. This is why we all want to makes games!

Some of the buddies don’t really work without their custom holders. I’d love to put Sage’s gunbuddy on Sage’s classic for obvious reasons but the big black and orange dot in the middle makes it look bad imo.

Even just recoloring that default dot would make it look better. Make Pheonix’s gunbuddy attach to the default dot, except the black is replaced with a gold that matches the gold of the buddy. Make Omen’s holder purple with blue accents to match the ethereal mist stuff inside the orb/his arms. Make Sage’s holder the same green as her buddy/classic skin.

Little colors go a long way for people who really like styling out their attachments

Got it! This is super helpful! We have to balance out all the stuff we do (doing X means cutting out Y), but this is something good for us to think about. :)

Not sure if you’re on the team for a question like this, but might be in the same boat as this orange stuff. The icons for the agent gun buddies have custom “holders”, for example Omen has more of a curved, scythe-like purple attachment to the gun that the little orb buddies hang from. But in game they all have the same default “holder”, the little black dot with the orange line through it

Are the custom holders scrapped, or just delayed?

I have a post about it with images that I can link if you’re not sure what I’m talking about

We scrapped the custom holders per buddy for now. Tagging u/oniram177 who can explain it better, but essentially it was causing a lot of other issues, so we opted to have a basic default one in most cases.

What did you like a lot about the custom holders? Or are you just curious about them?

I love the holographic stuff. When Valorant VALORANT was first revealed back in October during the 10 year stream, I thought it might take place in an alternate league dimension with a lot of PROJECT presence, because of all the triangles on the UI and under the scopes of the weapons.

For a PROJECT melee, I’m thinking PROJECT Pyke’s knife. Solid hilt, with a flowing hologram for the blade.

Yeah I love discussing crazy ideas! That’s kind of what our brainstorms are, as you can tell from the article. 😅

Ok, chimp Frenzy with monkey ears and googly eyes. I’ve never used a Frenzy after a niche pistol round buy but that’s an instabuy for me.

And melee is best of both of our worlds, tree branch with a snake wrapped around and a snail that slowly goes up and down

Omg this is too troll. I love it.

Little accents on the gun, and also more noticeable big pieces of orange (there’s an orange sort of wire on the magazine of the Avalanche vandal)

Additionally, if the holographic scope could be made a light cyan to match the ice, it would be an insta-buy, in addition to the Prism weapons. Having the orange/yellow on the scope contrasted with blues is a little jank.

Yeah this is something we are feeling too for the reticles. Glad you pointed it out too!

As for the orange on the Avalanche guns, let me ask about that. Might be an intentional art choice that’s a matter of taste for some folks vs. others. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts though because this helps us. :)

Frenzy is the monkey, the way it handles is pretty jittery and the name somewhat matches.

The melee is 100% just a stick with a slug stuck to it.

And is it a chimp? That seems like a frenzied small monkey to me.

Lol what if the melee was a snake? I’m trolling but it would be pretty funny imo.

A comment on the Avalanche, if I may - I really love the moving ice but the little orange accents ruin it for me. I suppose they blend in with the orange scope but I actually bought Prism Phantom instead of Avalanche Phantom because i wanted just solid colors, and I barely ADS.

He did a really good job for the 1275 price point, just a little turned off by the orange

Oh this is helpful! Do you mean the orange accents on the gun or on the red dot/reticle?

Nice. What do you like about PROJECT? We love League too so I’m curious.
