Allgemeine Public Beta Environment Änderungen/Tweaks

Vorwort - bitte zuerst lesen

 Spoiler

Guten Morgen,

da der letzte User, der solch einen Thread eröffnet hatte, gebannt wurde und laut Zorkas diesen nicht mehr mit einem neuen Account weiterführen, habe ich mir gedacht ich erstelle nun einen Neuen. Dieser Thread ist nur Copy + Paste im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes, also braucht ihr mir wirklich keine Thanks geben.

Hatte schon so einen ähnlichen Thread, indem ich die Änderungen übersetzt habe, aber mir das auf Dauer sehr umständlich vorkam und es dann schließlich aufgab.

Der bleibt hoffe ich doch etwas länger offen.

Next Support in Early 2014

With the year nearing it's end, a few summoners have pointed out that Riot failed to meet their goal of releasing two support champions for the year.

Meddler responded to this, commenting that the next support champion got pushed into 2014 and will be coming out early next year!

"We did originally expect we'd release a second support in 2013, when we decided to slow down our new champion release rate that support slot got pushed into 2014 instead however. As a result we've got an upcoming support fairly early on in next year's lineup."


Continuing the support discussion, Meddler also replied to a question about a potential Zilean rework:

"We're hoping to do some gameplay work on him next year. It's a far enough out project we don't have specific kit changes in mind yet, it'll almost certainly involve a new passive with more interaction to it though. I'll pass on the suggestion of a forum thread to the Rioter who'll be looking at him, those discussions have been extremely valuable in the past."

Status Update on Rengar Rework
Scarizard swung by the forums today to drop off an update on that Rengar changes he's been eyeing for a while.

"Dear Friends (and other internet denizens)

With Preseason out of the way, we totally playtested Rengar today (exactly as described in the OP). For the Quick Breakdown:

12/3/24 - 21/9/0 - Jungle - Bonetooth Necklace (14 Stacks), Mercury Treads, Trinity Force, Randuin's Omen, Spirit Visage, Ravenous Hydra.

Firing up the Knifecat Machine and looking to get this off the ground now that i (and not to mention my team) have more bandwidth overall. Been reading over a lot of your concerns - i don't think Brush removal is actually that big a hit to Rengar (totally anecdotal, but haven't seen it impact his performance significantly on Live or Internally), but i do agree that my vision of BTN as a Jungle Item likely needs to be revised with the Preseason Changes.

SO. My Big Question: How would y'all feel about Bounty Hunter on BTN as it's Gold Generation passive?"

Explanation on Justicar Syndra
In a thread titled "Justicar Syndra is dumb", Meddler explained the ideology behind the Justicar Syndra skin:

"Sometimes with skins we'll explore an existing aspect of a champion and really amplify it or imagine what they might be like in the future. Other times we'll try a new take on a character. Our intention with Justicar Syndra was to explore visually what Syndra could have been like under very different circumstances. 'Merciless Justice' was one of the early phrases we used that stuck, with Syndra's personality translating into hints of enforcement/fanatical fervor (an "I am the law" sort of vibe), in contrast to the base skin's focus on personal power, striving to never be under the control of others again."

[ PBE ] Rune Pages and Mystery Champion Gifting



It looks like Riot has been working on expanding the gifting line up to include both rune pages and mystery champions!

Here's Saberprivateer with more info on the new gift options currently testing on the PBE:

"Howdy Summoners from your friendly Unlock Team,

We've recently enabled Rune Page Gifting and Gifting a Mystery Champion on PBE. Please let us know what you think and if there are any suggestions.

FYI: For Mystery Champion: Similar to Mystery Skin your friend must have a pool of at least 10 champions available in order for it to work.

Happy Gifting!"

 Spoiler

Here's Riot Feithen with a PBE community post on the update:

"Hi folks,

PBE will be opening shortly and includes the following updates:

Lulu snowman fix; Lulu is now enabled
Scroll lock bug is fixed
New login screen!
Polish on the Snowdown skins that we'd previously reverted
Tons of general bug fixes
Snowdown Showdown game mode

This build also includes many of the balance changes that had been made over the course of the last week, which we reverted last night. We have not yet fully "caught up" with our previous state and expect an additional patch tomorrow.

Looking forward to your feedback!

Thanks,
Fei"

Showdown (Re-) Enabled on PBE!
Here's BuffMePlz with good news that Showdown mode has been enabled for more testing!

"Hey everyone! The Showdown featured game mode has once again been enabled and is now playable on PBE!

As before, you win if any of the following happen:

-In a 1v1, first blood wins! In 2v2, the first team to get two kills wins. Suicides count towards the victory kill condition.
-The first team to kill a tower wins the game.
-The first team to score a combined 100 CS wins the game.

As a reminder, you are allowed to heal, shop, and recall to base whenever you want on Showdown.

There is a minor known issue where the Recall spell does not have sound when cast on Showdown, but we'd love to hear about any other issues you encounter. Please feel free to leave any feedback about the Showdown game mode here!"

Yasuo Login Screen
Yasuo's login screen is included this patch and it's going to blow you way.

Snowdown Skin Load Screens
While we don't have full splashes yet, Snow Day Singed and Snowstorm Sivir's loading screen arts are included in this game patch.

• 12/6 PBE "Update" - Feature Rollback and High Noon Yasuo splash + S3 Ward

 Spoiler

Here's Riot Feithen with a small update on this PBE downtown:

"Update 23:38 - The PBE is closing to players now. Estimated downtime is 1 hour. Please note that Lulu will be disabled and the dreaded scroll lock bug will be present when we open back up. To work around this bug ALT-TAB.

Update 01:49 - PBE's up with the game content reverted."

High Noon Yasuo Splash

 Spoiler

[Update #2] Candy Cane Ward skin is now enabled. It is marked as 640 RP. Showdown Mode is also enabled.

Here's RiotSeb with a PBE community post on this update:
"The PBE platform will go down in about 15 minutes (around 1445 PST) for daily maintenance. As we finalize the build, we'll provide more information about what has changed with this latest version.
Today's new PBE testers: You will see errors if you attempt to create your PBE account during this time. Sit tight, we'll have the platform up in a couple of hours

Here's Riot Feithen with more info:
"Hi all,

We've run into some major issues and will be keeping the PBE closed while fixes are deployed. Our current estimate is 2 hours, so around 20:00PDT.

Sorry for the delay, we'll have her back up ASAP!

Fei

Update 20:21: Still working on it, sorry folks!

Update: 22:41: No helpful news for you all, we're still here working on it and don't have an ETA on opening.

Update: 00:14: Our fix just passed QA! We're deploying out to the PBE environment now. You'll see a small patch show up soon and we hope to be open in under an hour.

Update: 00:42: SHE'S ALIVE. Enjoy, and sorry again for the delay. We rarely keep the PBE closed for bugs but this was just too painful to ignore."

"Firstblood" / Showdown resources
** 12/4 UPDATE **: Showdown mode is now enabled - see this post for more info.

Lots of files for a firstblood mode - very likely the Showdown 1v1 and 2v2 featured game mode - have been added!


Here's a few strings::
game_firstblood_tip_text_basefunctions
"You may shop, heal, and recall to base at any time."
game_firstblood_tip_text_victoryconditionskills1v1
"You win if the enemy champion dies once."
game_firstblood_tip_text_victoryconditionskills2v2
"You win if the enemy team suffers two deaths."
game_firstblood_tip_text_victoryconditionslane1v1
"You win if you destroy a tower or kill 100 minions."
game_firstblood_tip_text_victoryconditionslane2v2
"You win if your team destroys a tower or collectively kills 100 minions."

New Summoner Spell Icons

As I'm sure you've noticed heal, ghost, cleanse, and exhaust are still missing.

Vintage Edition Loading screen Overlays
Special, vintage edition loading screen overlays for the returning Snowdown skins have been added!

New Ward Skin
A new "Candycane" Ward skin is now available for testing! It's current price is set at 640 RP.

New Player Features
Here's RiotIniquitee with info on some new player features and how you can volunteer to temporarily level down your PBE account to try them out!
"Hey PBE Community!
As part of our ongoing effort to examine the way people learn League of Legends for the first time, we’re taking a look at a couple of the first things new players encounter. Current testers will need to request access to this content by asking to be leveled down, but new testers will be exposed to it for a few hours before they're auto-leveled to 30.

The landing page
The landing page is a critical space that we can use to deliver information and content to players. For veteran players, things like news articles and featured matches are easy to understand, but not much of that is relevant to a brand new player. For low-level accounts, we’re trying to customize this space to convey content that is informational and interesting to someone new to the game or the MOBA genre. We plan on exploring and iterating on this content over time, but would appreciate your feedback on this first pass.

Early champion choices
The Free to Play rotation is a great tool to give players access to different champions every week. There are some champions, however, that are simply not meant for a first time League of Legends or MOBA player to pick up and play immediately. We’ve identified champions that are better at introducing the mechanics of the game to a first-time player and implemented a tool that allows us to offer this alternative list to players under a certain level. By segregating these champion choices, we can make sure that the Free to Play rotation caters to the needs and desires of veteran players while offering new players access to champions with more straightforward mechanics.
This test on the PBE will not necessarily be using the optimized list of introductory champions since we know testers are veterans of the game, but we appreciate you testing the transition from the new player champion pool to the Free to Play rotation.
If you are a part of the new batch of PBE testers seeing this content for the first time, please take a look and give us your feedback - make your best attempt at viewing it from the eyes of a new player! The Onboarding team will be keeping an eye on this thread and addressing questions, concerns and speaking to our approach of teaching new players to play League.
If you are already a tester on the PBE and would like to have your level reset to be able to experience this content, please post in this thread and it will be reset.
Thanks!"

The new player images we saw a few patches ago now greet new players instead of the traditional landing page.

• 12/2 PBE UPDATE: WINTER WONDER LULU'S SNOWMAN

 Spoiler

Here's Riot Feithen with a PBE community post on this update:
"Afternoon folks,

The PBE update for today is in progress. Bug fixes include the scroll lock problem and the Lulu crash, as well as a collection of other issues.
We should be up in about an hour; I'll post updates if we run into any problems.
Thanks,
Fei"

Winter Wonder Lulu Polymorph & Recall
Winter Wonder Lulu, one of our upcoming 2013 Snowdown skins, finally has her polymorph model and it is an adorable little snowman.





Winter Wonder Lulu's recall is also significantly longer and features more of the giant poro.



HIER IST EIN FILM EINGEFÜGT WORDEN, BITTE HIERFÜR AUF S-at20.net nachsehen.

For a better look at Winter Wonder Lulu, check out our initial coverage of her PBE arrival!

Yasuo Champion Select Quote
Yasuo's champion select quote, the small bit of audio that plays when you select him during champion select, has been added!

"Death is like the wind, always by my side."

There is also another Yasuo sound clip labeled "HowlingAybss/lore.mp3" - will check it out in game.
"A lot of people want me dead - they call it justice - I'm the only one that knows the truth. All I have left is the wind by my side."

Für die Accapella-Version zum hören, bitte auf S-at20.net nachsehen.

• PBE UPDATE 27/11/2013 - Yasuo Icon Update and more balance changes

 Spoiler

[Update #2]: Small patch went out to fix some other bugs but Lulu remains disabled. Here's Riot Feithen with the deets:

"We've deployed a small patch to address the issue with the Profile screen causing blank pages and preventing players from joining games. Unfortunately Lulu's fix isn't ready so she'll be disabled until Monday."

The PBE has been updated with a minor chnage to Yasuo's icon and several tentative balance changes, including buffs for Lulu and more changes to the jungle items.!


Continue reading for the latest from the Public Beta Environment!

(Warning: PBE Content is tentative and iterative - what you see may not reflect what eventually gets pushed to live servers! Manage your expectations accordingly. )

Here's Riot Feithen with a PBE community post on this update:

"Hi folks,

The morning PBE update is in progress! We should be open again in around 60 minutes. The patch includes a hefty batch of bug fixes.
Thanks,
Fei

Update 12:10PST: We're opening now, should be 5-10 minutes. Please note that Lulu will be disabled pending a second update that's coming later today. "

[Update #1]
Here's Riot Feithen with a workaround for a bug causing the Screen Scroll Lock to get stuck

"Hi all,
We're aware of an issue in the game where your screen scroll lock will become stuck. This means moving the mouse to the edge of the screen does nothing, and pressing space bar does not return the screen to your champion.
You can fix the issue by alt-tabbing out of the game client. In our internal tests this clears the issue for the remainder of the game. Changing your options will not fix the bug.
We'll get the real fix out as soon as possible but wanted to get you some visibility on the workaround in the mean time.

Winter Wonder Lulu
Judging by the files, Winter Wonder Lulu's Polymorph should be a snowman but Lulu is currently disabled on the PBE - will check when possible!


Yasuo
Champion potrait has been updated - it has been flipped and color dulled a bit.

Würde es besser finden, wenn das neueste als erstes aufgeführt ist und je älter der Patch ist desto mehr muss scrolled man dann runter. Keine lust später 3 Seiten zu scrollen bevor man dann sieht was letztendlich gepatched wurde. Weiß nicht wie es die anderen finden.

Einmal die Anordnung umdrehn und Schriftart vielleicht kleiner setzen!
