Mini balance patch incoming!

This entry was posted in News on by

Hi everyone.

Two quick announcements regarding balance on the Prismata alpha server:

  • We’ll be launching a new balance patch soon. It will be going live this Wednesday at 11:59pm ET.
  • Effective immediately, Redeemer has been temporarily disabled and will not appear in any ranked games, or as a random unit in custom games.

 

Redeemer’s getting another makeover

Redeemer’s been having a tough time. After multiple balance changes, the latest Redeemer looked promising. Unfortunately, some terrifying new builds were discovered, including the crushing “Thunderdeemer” rush for player 2, popularized by Zezetel through his fascinating article on the subject. For this and other reasons, we’re going to be releasing a reworked Redeemer later this week.

Balancing Redeemer has proven to be quite the opposite of a piece of cake.

How well can you predict the outcome of a Prismata match?

Hi folks!

I apologize for not blogging much lately; the Canadian Media Fund deadline is coming up so I’ve been slaving away on an application for government support that will help pay for the giant advertising and PR campaigns that will be accompanying Prismata’s release. (Exciting, I know….)

In the interim, I have two small things for you:

(1) A quick survey on what we should do with the “Good Game” emote, which has recently been removed from Prismata. It should take less than two minutes to complete.

(2) I want to run a quick little “Guess who wins” contest, inspired by a few recent threads on our subreddit.

New patch, new units!

A new patch arrives soon!

As promised, a new Prismata balance patch will deploy this Friday at 11:59pm ET. Three new units will be added the Prismata unit collection, and they’ll appear with a higher-than-average frequency on the ladder throughout the weekend.

Here are two of the new units, both featuring build time 2:

Lancetooth - supply 10

Lancetooth – supply 10

Ferritin Sac - Supply 10

Ferritin Sac – Supply 10

The third new unit will be revealed on Friday, making its long-awaited return. It has a brand new start-of-turn ability that hasn’t been seen on a Prismata unit since early April, and its new ultimate click ability will make your opponent wince in fear every turn if you use it enough times. Prismata will never be the same.

Full patch notes, including all buffs and nerfs, will also be made available tomorrow.

Longer build times in Prismata 1

Hi all,

Today, I’m going to discuss one of my favourite mechanics in Prismata: build time. Specifically, build times greater than one, as employed in the design units like Tarsier, Apollo, and Zemora Voidbringer.

 

Here are all the Prismata units that currently have a build time greater than one:

Unit Build Time                                                                   
Tarsier 2
Antima Comet 2
Apollo 2
Centrifuge 3
Endotherm Kit 4
Frostbite 2
Iso Kronus 2
Nitrocybe 2
Resophore 5
Scorchilla 2
Wincer 3
Thorium Dynamo 2
Zemora Voidbringer 6

Server reset happening on Monday! 1

This entry was posted in Game Features News on by

Hi everyone. I have an important announcement to make!

We’ll be doing a reset of player rewards on Monday!

At 3:00am EDT on Monday, August 31, we’ll be taking the Prismata server offline to deploy a pretty large software update and reset player collections. Accordingly:

  • The Prismata server will be down for approximately 30-60 minutes.
  • Players will lose all skins/emotes they have collected so far (but will keep those unlocked using Kickstarter/Paypal reward codes).
  • Players’ current arena/armory status will be wiped.
  • Players will receive a rebate of Power Cores, Omnipower Cores, and Shards commensurate with how many have been earned so far.
A preview of some of the new features arriving with next week's update!
