Two months ago it was Atlas sipping Super Surge, then it was that Dubu one, e: looks like the new community emote is pixelated Juliette/Sonii?

Oo i'm excited to check out new Asher. The monumentalist bugfix is an interesting note - I noticed it did nothing to asher special but I figured that was just because the base knockback on it was too low.

Oh wow the lingering hitbox on Kazan's hook is crazy. edit: I'm pretty sure Finii's primary got hosed with, but wasn't documented. The windup on the card reversing direction feels much longer now. SKULL.GIF fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Aug 24, 2023 |

Vyce is really really good now. That massive Heavy Impact/Perfect Form buff does so much for her. Just hit your primary over and over until the entire enemy team is staggered.

why do they keep buffing finii. i haven't played actively for a while, but she felt like a really good goalie most of the time, and they just keep buffing her edit: like they seem to be planning to give her some flashy big buffs which is like ???

lmao Vyce buffs. She's arguably one of the strongest strikers in the game, no clue why she needs buffs??SpiritOfLenin posted:why do they keep buffing finii. i haven't played actively for a while, but she felt like a really good goalie most of the time, and they just keep buffing her Yeah I'm baffled, maybe cus she's a somewhat more high skill ceiling striker? She's one of my favorites, so I'm not complaining about bigger buffs, though I'm wondering if she'll get an entire rework. She also works great as a flexible forward, just hang out on the opposite side of the field from your other forward. If you're on your half of the field it's super easy to harass the enemy goalie and defensive forward(s) while you remain in a solid defensive position. If you're on their half of the field, you can harass the enemy's aggressive forward(s) while being in a good position to score.

Either their abstractized data shows she's underperforming, or they're just doing random poo poo to keep the game "changing". It's certainly not from actually playing games with her.

I think Finii has the worst winrate in the game by far and they do not understand why, so they just keep buffing numbers. I think she is potentially strong and I love playing as her so maybe I'm biased but I hope they don't ruin her secondary, that Double Take rocks

To be fair she is extremely easy to own goal with, and if you do that a couple times you might just get turned off the character? Maybe???

Finii's primary also takes quite a lot of getting used to, considering you want to move the mouse the complete opposite direction from where you actually want it to go. Cast Primary > Secondary > Hit with Primary is such a loving satisfying combo though, I'm really hoping they don't change it at all.

I've made a LOT of embarrassing own goals. I'm not a one-trick person, I tend to filter strikers broadly into "I like them enough to try and learn them" and "this just doesn't feel that fun to play." Finii is probably the only striker that I think is fun but has enough of a learning curve that I've pretty much just given up.

That looks cool, and seems like maybe it can change in between rounds! Maybe players vote on what map effects they want each round? Lots of neat potential there.

quote:Here we go, patch notes. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1869590/view/3743113111089023976 A little less new content than I was expecting to be honest -- aside from Nao, only two new skins and a temporary gameplay mode. Oh never mind, I see there's also new awakenings! Finii rework looks really promising, but I don't love that they improved her core trapping with her special. That was already really obnoxious to deal with on certain maps. It's extremely concerning to me that they think Kazan is underperforming by looking at the "data". Kazan is nearly a permaban for me at this point, he's totally game-ruining when a main gets him. That one awakening is basically a free gift to Juliette players -- I expect we'll see Juliette nerfed again, and then when they look at the "data" they'll buff all the Juliette awakenings again.

Well... not exactly surprising.  quote:Despite our best efforts, we haven’t been able to grow Omega Strikers. Although the game has an incredible core community, most players generally stop playing after a few weeks of going hard on the game—and this has been true since our Open Beta over a year ago. We have big dreams for the future of the Omega Strikers universe, and to achieve our ambitions we believe we must focus our efforts on a new title set in the OS world that (we truly hope) you’ll love.

Not exactly surprising it's happening  I wonder what they're planning for the next game. They say they're bringing back all the characters from this game, and given what they said about our spent money carrying over to the next, the next one is almost certainly multiplayer with microtransactions. But what could it be if it's not air hockey? A dotalike (attempting to compete in the second tier, a la Smite)? Gacha? Fighting game?

There wasn't, and isn't, any elements of the game that encourage player retention rather than being like, at best indifferent to the concept What am I gonna do with my five billion striker credits i've accumulated by just playing the game now? if only there were some palette swaps of my favorite strikers I could unlock, which I could take into a nice casual game where I'm assured there will at least be basic matchmaking so I dont have to stomp or get stomped by virtue of which team received the most completely new, bewildered players that have no idea what's going on! Players who will surely be motivated to keep learning the game after a few more of these one-sided stomps, where it's impossible to tell if what you're doing is right or wrong, because the only way experienced players on your team can talk to you is through passive-aggressive, ambiguous callouts and funny emote faces! SPREAD OUT, bucko! KO THEM! USE ENERGY BURST! And they can't turn to any ingame learning resources either, just a book of internal jargon you need to study to be able to parse tooltips Like as a postmortem its easy to poo poo on the game like this but man it just feels powerfully obvious at this point

I remain somewhat strongly convinced that a huge portion of this game struggling is simply because nerds don't have any experience playing sports (let alone field-ball sports) at all so they come into this completely naked and flabbergasted. I played lacrosse and basketball for years, so even though I didn't have any actual soccer experience, the idea of relative and absolute positioning and shooting angles came naturally to me. Granted, obviously, you can't actually blame these nerds for not knowing the fundamentals, you have to actually onboard them onto this. I'm just saying that there's a pretty obvious audience mismatch here.
