Edain 4.5: General Feedback

<< < (5/8) > >>

Adrigabbro:
I'm not sure where to react to the many news we've received this week concerning 4.5.3, so I'll write my feedback here.

I'm very much looking forward to the new version regarding new changes and balance modifications. In particular the new settlements of Gondor, spellbook balance, the new variant spell mechanics (so cool!), the Overseer spell in the front row, splitting the Forged Tools upgrade, a bit more income during games, varying buildcosts for settlements and new heroes recruitment mechanics. I welcome all these changes!

Some questions/concerns:

1) Have you considered tweaking the Gondor barrage spell? It makes my computer very laggy even early in the game. Fro what it's worth, I also find this spell a bit out of place.

2) If anything it looks like you have nerfed Lorien spellbook even though it was already commonly considered as the weakest spellbook among the PvP community.  In particular the second defensive spell is a bit redundant with the central spell and its mechanism feels off. What is your opinion ?

3) Is there any consequence of increasing the in game camera height regarding lags ?

Thank you for your time.

If you are talking about 1sv1, you will notice basically 0 difference, as nearly all of the 1vs1 maps already had a height of 550-600.
Otherwise increasing the camera height will obviously always interfere with things like game smoothness, but most other bigger mods also had a much higher camera than Edain had, so it will not be completely new terrain for all of us. :)
But as we said in the article: Such things can only be tested on a larger scale and we will adjust the height according to the feedback we receive.^^

* Not really until now, I haven't heard of the lag problem before. Is this something others have encountered as well?

* I think the dwarven spellbook was usually considered to be even weaker :D
I personally feel that the offensive tree is incredibly powerful, Radagast and the Queen of Twilight have enormous destructive potential and the Arrow Volley can be used in some really nice wombo-comboes. Tauriel is often underrated, she's fantastic against high-value targets, and with the Blessing now working as intended in 4.5.3 (it used to bug out a lot before) and the changes to the River, the long-term spelltree should be quite a bit stronger as well. What would you change about Refuge in the Woods?

Adrigabbro:
Guess I have a wooden computer.  :(

The main issue I encounter with Refuge in the Woods is actually using it. Sometimes I can't even click on trees which are just in front of my base. It's like I have to move the cursor over one specific pixel otherwise nothing happens. Also I believe there is no clear indicator whether or not the tree is too far from the base. As you will agree you can't afford wasting precious seconds in real time strategy games.

Or perhaps I have been too dumb to use it. Any tips ?

We'll see if we can make some tweaks to the spell to make the placement easier, it definitely shouldn't be so tedious to use.
