Orphea released on the PTR, Guldan got a buff.

Here’s a small peak of the new UI on the Home page:

Here’s also another peak on the new icons in the hero selection screen:

According to notes there is now a clear distinction in the texts to what modifiers are additive and which are multiplicative, quite interesting.

Need to log in to PTR asap to check these changes, especially DS graphic changes.

EDIT: All realmlords now in the game as announcers, neat.

It’s just a minor buff to his Q, which isn’t even the best build :stuck_out_tongue:

@Topic

The Dragon Knight looks AMAZING!

Just a quick update, I took a peak over the new roles, and specialists aren’t dead(?)

I know this is PTR but it seems they simply updated it by adding an additional word:

Either a UI bug/unfinished process or the picture we saw is just how they will match them up for QM purposes now.

An Orphea Announcer?

I didn’t see that coming. +1

The role rework and the gameplay changes are not yet in it seems (and the notes do not mention them).

As the gameplay changes/role rework are supposed to go live 27th, they will probably put them up after Orphea release at the 13th so they have 2 weeks separately from the hero to test it.

Also it seems that the ability to cast Chomp from the eruption of E is in the direction of the mouse relative to the eruption, which lets you control where it goes rather nicely.

the angel is missing ( forget his name)

13

I´m pretty sure he does not count as a realmlord.

14

yhea, maybe…but since we got the demon one , oh well bummer

15

I know how you feel, man. I bet you were also expecting the long awaited buffs to his RoD ult.

Well it’s at least a buff to my favorite build to play with so I’m still ok with it, but its defintely not a RoD buff which is still a huge bummer :confused:

Imperius will bring it with himself.

There is now a small green arrow over heroes when their role is in demand (Call of the Nexus), that is a nice little touch. The favourite/free icons are scaled down too so that it does not clutter too much.

Also active boosts are shown in the friend list and in the loading screen.

18

oh btw, dragon knight loses the shield ? looks like it

19

Yeah I wont lie I thought maybe just maybe they finally figured out what to do with RoD to make it viable :frowning:

Thanks for the images, looks pretty nice.
