2014-03-12 Item Patch Notes

BEST PATCH EVER!


"-Fist of the Gods
This item has been removed because stuns - like driving licences - should not be granted to everyone
-Qin's Sais
This item has been removed, because following accurate and thorough tests and analysis we realized it's ********
-Sprint
Decreased cost to 100/200/300.
Sprint now reduces movement speed by 30/35/40% per tier and for its final tier it stuns you every time you use basic attacks
-Soul Reaver
This item has been removed, because removing 15% of someone's HP is not funny.
-Polynomicon
This item has been removed, and there is no need for us to explain why."

Not sure why they removed Wall of Absolution...

Wall of Absolution removed.. Awesome...
The Health on Gaiastone is good! Makes it even more viable, also in Arena
The renames will mae it even harder to find ANYTHING. I was still getting used to the new system and now that..

Not sure about the Anubis change.. Could be a buff or a nerf, we will see.
The Geb nerf is heavy! He was one of my favourite tanks, even after the countless shield nerfs!
RIP Zhong Kui..(?)
At least I can now try to play Isis better, welcome buff!

All in all a negative patch for me, I wanted to see a slight Scylla nerf/change and no item removes instead of added items! The varety of items is bullsh*t, I want more items!

Let's hope that the Ullr-patch will be any good....

Um, not sure if this is a bug or what, but Tyrs Fearless on an enemy with a bubble neither does the knockback nor pops the bubble

I can understand the sentiment of vaeldyn over wall of absolution(bcz of sobek pic!). Also, I love tanks and most of them are mages. This patch is a let down for me and I had no issues with any of the patches released so far before this.

All of my comments are in relation to pub games.

More items removed that I often use. Bring back my Thebes? Not possible to hit HP max now.

Death Gaze certainly did not need a buff. I can't believe this. I typically take 1.2-1.6k from that spell nearly instantly, even as a guardian. You have to buy Aegis when playing against a good Noobis.

Meanwhile, threat-less Geb gets a considerable nerf. I agree with some of it, but not all.

Appreciate the performance changes. Health on Gaia is a nice touch. New art is awesome, but a big mix up with so many items constantly being renamed or moved week to week.

Golden Bow is now called Golden Dagger, but it's still a bow, lol.

On a personal preference note - No changes to balance ult's for classes I initially loved such as Hades/Odin. Most classes have a 1-3 ability that can easily escape these ult, invalidating them in most pub games. They don't feel so "ultimate". At least w/ Ares you have to buy an active or use your ult. So many counters for poor Odin...

Holy **** boy, that Eset buff. Didn't see that coming at all.

Scylla is completely balanced, like I expected. I think this is one of those rare times that the release god is not nerfed/buffed... Weird.

They buffed Anubis wrongly... but... ''This will differ the good Anubis from the great Anubis'', AMIRITE?

And new Loading Screen card for Bacchus, finally. And with the change of Arachne's Skin card, I guess they'll start to update the cards for every skin from the old gods.

I can't digest why they are not fixing glaring issues and concentrating on non-issues which are so miniature. This is to sum up what hi-rez's trying to do-> "Golden Bow is now called Golden Dagger, but it's still a bow" by latentpotential

I'd like to be matched with players in my country, instead of China and Mexico.

That would be nice for that crucial thing called latency. Sometimes I pop-die before animations are complete or started.

At least display latency somewhere.

No offense intended here.

But in order to test your potential you have to overcome latency :p
