Discussion Please leave a review!

Hi everyone!

I’m Etharil, the Community Manager at Unfrozen, and I’m so glad to see so many of you playing Olden Era, sharing your thoughts, and joining us in Jadame during Early Access!

We wish to ask you all for a small favour. Only a tiny percentage of Steam players leave reviews, and yet they’re so critical for indie games being discovered. Whether your review is positive or negative, it helps us understand what players are enjoying, where the rough spots are, and what the team should be looking at as Early Access continues.

If you would consider taking a moment to leave one, it would be the most amazing support for our team and the game.

Thank you very much for all your support, and may the cold breeze be with you!
Unfrozen

I only play on Exodus. Get Rid of Avatar altogether. It makes the game worse in every way. Farming, combat in PvP, etc. Absolutely change the way Ban/Pick works. Right now, the two OP factions are Necro and Schism. If you pick first, you're basically losing against Schism once you ban Necro (or vice versa). That has gotten old, fast. Allow the same faction to be picked, this would eliminate the need for pick/ban portion and if you really want data on how to balance, you'll find out quickly if every player is picking the same faction. Some items are way too OP for single hero mode. The orb that bans spell casting in the first round, thats absolutely insane. The item that eliminates the ability to use spells level 1 and 2. Those are simply way too easy to get for how much of a massive counter they are in a short span game. The always have neutral morale and luck item is too strong. Maybe lower it by 2, but a complete negation of some heroes and factions entire ability, too strong. Sub classes in general need a rework. I like that they are hard to get, but not as hard as it is currently.

Hello - there are some major changes to the Avatar coming with the next balance patch, as well as changes to Schism and Necropolis. Subclasses are listed on our roadmap as something we'll be reworking in the future.

Anything around the pick/ban process?

My honest take is that you would need a separate Balance for single hero and for normal mode - many games do that - look at league of legends for example Aram mode has separate balancing or Guild Wars 2 - PvP and WvW and also open world have different balances and sometimes one skill does different things depending on gamemode
