see you get me haha, honestly I’m just really happy with the game overall. Been waiting for something new and refreshing, game has made me fall in love with FPS games again.
I’m so happy to hear that! It’s been overwhelming seeing how many players are enjoying the game and want to get into beta. The team has been working so hard, especially to get to beta and launch, so it’s an honor that people like the game. :)
I’m honestly not entirely sure since I don’t entirely know what the originals look like, but the omen looks cool to me because it looks sleek with the all black and blue lines. Color is an easy way to stand out but good design can make it stand out also.
That’s helpful! Thank you for sharing! :)
I think it’s the way it looks , omens my favourite right now because of his kit, you can smoke any place from little corners and crannys , 2 teleports. + the guns mummified and is glowing blue that’s bad ass. Maybe I’m thinking a little too much but I’m actually really loving the skin design on all of them.
Aw that’s great to hear. If I’m getting what you’re saying, it sounds like the skin fits Omen for you. Omen is also my main, which is why I love the skin so much myself. I think it fits his look and I love that it’s on the Ghost so I can be extra sneaky.
What about tap to interact? I don’t want to have to hold a key to plant/defuse. I’d like to bind it to my scroll wheel.
We'll have a chat about this. Assuming there are no weird interactions I think we can add it at some point.
I’m not the same guy but I like the ones that stand out the most from the original skin. So I like sage’s and omen’s, etc.
I’d still love to hear what you think. :) So is color the main thing that makes them stand out for you? Asking since Omen’s is mainly black.
Omens That’s first off my list, the ghost looks way too nice
Mind sharing what you like about it? I’m curious to hear about what people like about the specific character guns. Is it the way it looks? Is it that it fits Omen? Something else?
Thanks for confirming this ! Wasn’t too sure if it was true or not some guys I met ingame told me cheers !
Np! :) Which skin are you eyeing? I want Omen’s and Raze’s.
I heard that you still have to pay for the skin once you unlock it, is that true?
Nope, you don’t need to pay for the agent gun skin. You can unlock it with experience just like the other levels in each agent contract.
Any plans to have built in macros? For example in cs my smoke and flash keys are alias scripted to stretch my crosshairs to the edge of my screen so I can line stuff up and when I hit 1 or 2 to switch back to my gun it goes back to crosshair size 4. This way the player might be able to circumvent some weird interactions when they double bind.
We have some sweet plans with respect to aiming thrown or launched objects. Should help with that specific usage case, at least.
That's awesome! What department?
Engineering ☺️
Fair. Ever work for Riot in Sydney (on league or anything else), or did you move specifically for Valorant?
I never worked at Riot Sydney, though I did start at Riot around when Sydney opened. I worked on League for 5 years before moving to VALORANT almost 2 years ago. It's been a mile a minute since coming to VALORANT and it's a super exciting time 😀
hey, the more hours you watch do you have a higher chance of getting a drop ? i heard 1: that you only need 2 hours watchtime to be eligible for a drop and more hours watched gives you a higher chance and 2: that you have to be watching actively for a chance to get a key no matter how much you’ve already watched? I’d love to know as i have 36 hours watchtime now
So: 1) Yes, once you've watched at least 2 hours you're now in the pool of eligible viewers. You get a higher chance the more you've watched, but there are diminishing returns, i.e. your 37th hour doesn't increase your chances anywhere near as much as your 3rd hour (the relative increase in your total hours is much lower). 2) You do not have to be actively watching. Once you've watched at least 2 hours, every time we give out access we just take the pool of all eligible viewers and randomly choose people (weighted by total view hours), regardless of if they're currently viewing. Please look after yourself and make sure you eat! ;)
Good luck to you, I hope you get access soon! We're actively working to try and increase our server capacity, but we also need to ramp at a responsible pace so that we're testing load as we go.
How long til we get the beta mate pls?
Soon mate, soon. We appreciate you hangin' in there!
Where in Aus, if you don't mind me asking?
I was working in Sydney before I moved here to work at Riot
I dont know if you know but when i use mei's icewall on Sam the cyber dog when he is on his cam he phases through the ice and can stay inside it.
i dont even know what any of that means
In case you're like me and you kept trying to plant/defuse using the F key because of other games. Everybody I play with thought you couldn't double bind at all, so I hope this is useful.
We left a lot of latitude for double binds, but can't guarantee it'll work the way you want all the time.
For example, with double binding Use and Use Spike: if you have a Cypher camera dart in you and you try to defuse it'll try to remove the dart first. That's just one of the cases where it's hard to guess at your intent because different tactical situations call for different priorities.
For people who want 100% predictability, keep the binds separate. If you can roll with the quirks, double bind your hearts out.
"That's a knoif"
That's my line!
I'm Australian, but work on VALOURANT at Riot HQ in Los Angeles, and this post has got me all kinds of confused... And homesick... 🇦🇺
This bug was mentioned and I thought they said they fixed it and you just needed to restart but guess not
It has been fixed, if you look at the name of the offending file it is 2020-04-07. That is the date the issue occurred and also the date we pushed out a fix to the issue.
One thing I would like to note is that the file would have eventually been cleaned up. The way it works is every time you launch the game a new file is created and the oldest one is deleted. It only keeps a certain number of files around. With enough launches this very large file would have become the oldest and been deleted.
While the immediate issue has been fixed, we are following up on making it so a runaway bug can not cause issues like this in future. This was a very serious bug and has caused a lot of discussion on our side in order to prevent it from ever happening.
This issue occurred on the 7th during the day and was fixed on the 7th late at night. One thing to note is that the files would have eventually been cleaned up.
