Late last night, the folks at Super Evil Megacorp released the update details on its upcoming 1.3 patch to its mobile MOBA, Vainglory (Free). The biggest change that will come with the patch is obviously the release of its newest hero, Vox. We covered the official announcement of Vox last Friday but we now have some extra details to pass along.
Like Celeste, Vox’s basic attacks also deal crystal power as bonus damage. However, attacks also grant Vox an HP barrier and when attacking enemies with Resonance (a status applied by one of his moves) damage will also bounce around to nearby enemies, refresh Resonance and grant an added HP barrier.
Meanwhile, Vox’s three special moves are all centered on auditory phenomena. Sonic Zoom has Vox dashing to the targeted direction while throwing attacks at the nearest enemy. Pulse emits a sonic pulse that applies Resonance and applies a slow to enemies. His ultimate, called ‘Wait For It…’ has Vox firing an ultrasonic wave that applies resonance to all enemies in its path and refreshes it on any that already had it. Shortly after, a shockwave causes damage along the ultrasonic wave path. All the moves seem to center on keeping Resonance applied and using it to deal damage across multiple enemies at a time, which is a pretty cool strategy and makes Vox more unique than other snipers.
In addition to Vox, the Vainglory update has a few other important additions. Private Match Spectator will be added, allowing broadcasters to host proper 3v3 tournaments with two spectator slots available in matches. Players will also now have the ability to ‘honor’ and report players after games depending on how well (or poorly) they perform. A significant change to gameplay is the ability to buy and instantly use consumables now, which means that players no longer need an empty slot in order to enjoy them. In addition, teams now earn XP faster when behind in levels and earn slower XP when ahead. Significant changes were also made to Koshka, Krul, Adagio and Celeste, as well as minor changes to others and updates to weapons.
There are a few other relatively minor additions that are pretty cool. The profile page has been redone with new artwork and players can now declare their position (i.e. Lane/Jungle/Roam) intent prior to hero selection.
Vainglory goes down for maintenance at 10am PST today and once it goes back up the update will go live. Also, keep in mind that Vox will only be available with ICE (the game’s premium currency) for the remainder of the week, and opens up to Glory unlocks on Saturday. Meanwhile, check out the patch notes for the complete deal on the update and check back with us soon for an introductory guide on Vox.
Is it just me or does is just keeps spinning and spinning at the waiting for authorization screen? 😭
FINALLY!!!!😜😜😜
Now where's my iPhone 6+ support??
Is the update for iPhone coming today? I'm dying to get my hands on some mobile hearthstone.
Well sorry looks like you're going to keep dying, based on the news item just a few scrolls lower the game is potentially coming to mobile next week.
There's talk of an update for iphone support on the 9th of this month
So far beat the first level with Hunter rush deck and the second with Warrior control type deck. They are fun as hell escpecially the second one. I'm sure there are other decks that will win but just trying to give my input
Yeah, that second level was pretty fun. Great screen name, by the way..:)
Thank you kindly! I'm aconfusedkender in any game that can fit it and on TA. Have been for many many years now. I do like a fellow DL fan ;)
Is the series still in continuation? I haven't read it in years...
As far as I know yes. I've read over 100...yes 100 of the saga. I've spanned across many generations and story lines. It took my 4 years of searching in my local bookstores but I found a series that been out of print since the early 90's that I've been wanting to finish. I'd find a book here and a book there and finally got all 5. My cousin got me into them when I was 14 and I'm 31 now (; still great. One of my best friends went to Iraq for the Army and DL is what helped him get through. I'd send him books as he'd finish them.
Cool, I might have to start back up again. I still have the first print of the first two trilogies on my bookshelf, lol
This was the Villians series that I found finally. Still haven't had time to read them with a 3 year old Kender and a 1 year old Kender running around but in due time! Which ones do you have?
Not only are they in print, but more stories were written and fairly recently. They are all in digital format now including the books written during the dragon lance wars (the events that happened between the first book as they had huge gaps if you recall) and the second generation
The origin story of tanis half even is particualarly good as well.. That's quote old now
Of course the War of the Lance is amazing but I think my favorite besides all of those would have to be the Dhamon Saga series. Another series not DL that is my favorite but written by DL authors is the Death Gate Cycle. Written by Weis and Hickman
Tas, I want to +1 your username over and over.
Argh I saved up gold for wings last time, but I don't have the patience this time.
Thank you kindly! I don't have the patience to save up at all lol. I outright bought Naxx and BRM. My son likes to open packs too much so I can't hold onto to gold for long.
Amaz already finished all challenges ;p
Ok, am I missing something? Just beat the bosses and class challenges and didn't get a single card... Wtf is going on?
Blizzard tweeted that you need to log out of the game and back in if this happens.
Thanks.:)
Didn't work..:(
Same goes to me too. Logout and logging-in back still doesn't show the new cards in my collection. 😁
Any news on when its being activated in Europe?
Awesome!
Holy crap, thaurissan is awesome, I actually ended a game with every card in my hand at zero cost...:)
Is single player without Internet? Hoping to play on a plane without internet.
An active internet connection is still required despite being a solo adventure expansion pack.
That's dumb.
