Super Buckyball Tournament AMA - Dec 31st
Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all the questions and comments to the guys who were there at last week's AMA.
I have tried to organize and answer them below, if you wanna ask questions and get answers from us
as well, join our Discord and join the conversation every Wednesday at 11AM CET for EU and 6PM PST for NA!
In the last AMA in 2020, we discussed ideas for new characters (preferably goalkeeper), players have suggested 2 concepts for new characters in the future:
Pandaman
- A lazy panda with the ability to use bamboo as a shield
A dwarf character
- Tiny compared to other characters but will get very big when using his ultimate
Which idea do you like the most? Also, feel free to send us your concept for our future character!
Name for the 3rd stadium
In the posts last week we asked players for the name of our 3rd stadium, here's a list we gathered from the comment section on our social media, thanks everyone for the suggestions!
- Elyse Terminal
- The station
- Neon plaza
- Iron city
- Metropolis
- Neo-Metropolis
- Orbit
General Sugestions
Special tags next to character names
- Special tags can be seen more often in MMORPG games but not really in MOBA games since it can cause distractions on the field. Maybe having the tags in the lobby would be more realistic?
Show characters ranking in the game so you can see when you play with stronger or weaker players
- Similar to the question above, plus character ranking indicator might only be useful in quickplay since players in competitive games should have similar ranking. Anyway it's a good suggestion but it'll not be in high priority.
Non-randomized items for competitive play
- We’ve received player feedback suggesting that items should either be eliminated or non-randomized in competitive play. Right now we still haven’t made up our mind yet. We’ll consider more of it when we got more time, thanks for the suggestions.
Adding Character lore/background stories
- Feel free to suggest character background stories to us at anytime! Currently we’re still working hard on new mechanics & contents related to the gameplay, therefore adding character lore is not really in a high priority. We’ll consider putting it in once we got more time polishing the game, possibly when we launch into Early Access.
Nerf R47
- We already nerfed him after the Preseason internally! We added a charging mechanism to his ground slam in which now he can only use two times at once.
Make a goalie character who is more resistant to be knocked over (for example a mirror shield ability)
- That’s a great idea! We’re currently thinking about designing a goalkeeper so feel free to bring up more ideas to us!
Item idea: Timing Bomb
- Thanks for the new item ideas! We’ll consider it when we design new items
TAB button for controller (optimize controller expeirences overall)
- We’re definitely aware of it and will optimize the controller experience in the later updates, we hope to bring the controller optimization into the February version but it still depends on our workload.
R47 runs into Pai and R47 gains some stamina
- It's actually not a bug. R47 has a mechanic where he'll receive a bit of stamina if he runs into any characters that are less heavy than him.
Tab to show items
- Yes right now you can click Tab button to see what item each player has.
Bomb cannot throw over shields
- We'll think about it.
Decrease current bomb size
- It'll be considered.
Animated skin parts
- We're currently working on it, previously there have been some technical difficulties but now we'll gradually add animated effects to all characters.
