Good job Rob.

There’s also a brief video showing off the next map to be added, entitled Splitstone Quarry. According to Hi-Rez, players will “venture into the depths and explore some all new terrain.” The new location is coming in patch OB55.

Lastly, a new cinematic trailer has been released for Paladins. Called “No One Escapes the Law,” a nod to Lex’s ultimate ability, it features five Flank class members duking it out (just like your public matches!). There doesn’t appear to be an occasion for the fancy new trailer, but perhaps the FPS — which has been in open beta on consoles since May 3rd and PC since September 2016 — is nearing a final launch?

It’s all destined for Paladins in the coming weeks.

Not two weeks after being announced, Jenos is now available to play on Paladins: Champions of the Realm and Hi-Rez also made sure all the details for the champion were available. Jenos is a support hero with 2600HP and one healing Ability. The remaining abilities may resemble some other abilities of similar games, but the combination of them into one champion makes Jenos have potential as an aggressive support character.

Jenos’ primary ability (his weapon of choice) is the Star Splitter, a mid-range automatic weapon that deals 120 damage every 0.13s (923 damage per second).

Jenos’ secondary is Astral Mark, an ability that heals up to five champions and up to 250HP\sec (50 per champion) with a 9sec cooldown and a potential duration overflow of 150%.

Then we have Void Grip, a 0 cooldown skill that locks an enemy up in the air and deals 150 damage per second for 2.5 seconds. Movement abilities from the enemy interrupt the effect.

Stellar Wind gives Jenos a Borderlands 2 kind of gravity, with 75% faster speed and bigger longer jumps and falls. Jenos cannot fire during Stellar Wind.

Hi-rez also released a trailer to sum everything up:

Jenos’ ultimate, Through Time and Space, locks him in to place for 1.5sec with immunity to CC damage and then releases a long range blast that causes 2400 Damage in a straight line, regardless of obstacles or walls.

Jenos is available to play now.

His ultimate looks nasty.

He sounds awesome

I’ve only played a few bot matches so far, but I’m really digging it. Think I’m going to focus on Skye or whatever her name is…seems an easy one to learn.

New patch completely changed the Champion Select screen. Took me a bit to find who I wanted.

I also got the new Torvald Clockwork skin and voice pack. I love how they are adding in new voice packs with character redesigns.

Played a bunch over the weekend, so starting to get the hang of the mechanics and maps. The new character Jenos is a total beast and will get nerfed, and hard. I didn’t even modify the deck and had huge success playing him even with just moderately competent PUGs. That said, he can be countered pretty well by flankers as his mobility isn’t all that great until you get used to disengaging with his speed power.

FYI.

Jenos is stupid right now. If you’re not playing as him as support you’re doing it wrong. @grex and I just finished a match where he got 100k damage AND 90k heals. WTF?

He’s in dire need of a nerf, no question. Far too much juice in his cannon, the suspend power can isolate too well, let alone the damage it does, AND he has some serious healing ability if geared towards that. Waaaay overdone IMHO.

That said…fun to play until then. LOL

Paladins Gets a New Patch with New Achievements

Paladins: Champions of the Realm entered closed beta last year with some shiny achievements, and more recently that beta has opened up to everyone. The game is a hero shooter, similar to Overwatch, and in typical Hi-Rez fashion, it’s free to play. That, coupled with a fairly easy achievement list, means tons of players have tried the game out. The latest patch introduces the game’s “All Hallows Evie” event and, perhaps more importantly for many readers, it’s changing the nature of that easy completion to make it…not so easy.

First, the achievements:

*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***

The patch notes are extremely long, so in lieu of posting them here you can head on over to the game’s official website to see everything. However, one notable detail is that achievement progression and rewards will be granted only for achievements that the player would never have the opportunity to unlock again. What this means is that these achievements are only partially retroactive — you can’t get to level 20 again, so that will unlock, but you can reach a 20 kill streak once again and you will need to do so.

You can take a look at some of the festive skins and items below:





The developers have also confirmed the release date for the new patch.

The patch should go live early in the morning on October 11th.

See my post. HUGE News.

NEW EVENT: RISE OF FURIA

ESCAPE THE ABYSS. Relive the day the city of Seris was destroyed and thousands of souls were cast into the Abyss. You have been trapped in the vile recesses of this ancient hell… but there is still hope. Race against your doom and climb the Abyssal Spire. As you slay the wretched shadows atop, you’ll earn Abyssal Shards which can be exchanged for exclusive Rise of Furia event items. Face off in an epic Team Death Match at the top in front of the Abyssal Lord himself. Remember, child: Even in the blackest night, the Pyre will light your path.

Event Overview

  • Climb the Spire - Climb out of the Abyss, jumping from platforms, collecting Pyre Blessings, and racing up the Abyssal Spire with your team. Be careful along the way: one wrong step and you might fall into the Abyss itself. Once atop the Spire, face off against your shadows to determine which of you has earned the right to escape in front of the Lord of Abyss himself.
  • Collect Abyssal Shards - Climb the Spire and collect Abyssal Shards for every kill your team earns at the top, or purchase Bundles to speed up the process.
  • Unlock New Cosmetics! - There are over 15 new cosmetics this patch, including new Music Themes! Spend your Abyssal Shards and unlock exclusive content only available during the Rise of Furia event. To gain access to the event store, you must purchase one skin bundle.

  • Pyre’s Blessing are placed throughout the climb, providing ultimate charge to the team who can grab them first!
  • Destroying the Crystal near the top will unlock the Abyssal Spire’s Arena, bringing all players to the top of the Spire. The team that unlocks the Arena earns additional ultimate charge.
