[Set 18] Aug 14th PBE Patch Notes

>Big patch today! Aiming for only 1-2 more of these before we lock in the first patch. We've reached the state where a lot of content can see success after the Blackthorn rework, but the meta seems a bit too polarized on certain reroll lines (which are boosted by Wisp tempo).
We also have a few more gameplay bugfixes that appeared later in he week. Such as Blackthorn giving immense amounts of Damage Amp, Luxes erroneously transforming, and a Death's Defiance being weaker than intended.
A small note on Aphelios, we're pushing him aggressively more towards Rageblade builds. This change results in more damage the more AS he has, and is an overall buff.

TFT Dev Video: Enchanted Wilds PBE Check-in

TL;DW

  • The video was recorded ~a week ago.
  • The initial general blurriness on PBE was due to a bug that lowered resolution ~25% across all quality settings. Check your graphic settings on PBE, as it might have automatically reverted to a lower one.
  • The Reroll and Buy XP buttons are now fully spammable!
  • Buying units and moving both units and items can still feel a bit sluggish and there's a bug impacting last second positionings. They're actively working on fixing all of this ahead of release.
  • The migration was a huge undertaking and they're triage-ing the most pressing issues to make sure Set 18 goes live in a decent state, but they won't get to every "ear flick" in time for 18.1. Gameplay bugs first, polish issues (VFX, sound bugs, gold flying towards the Tactician, the look of Loot Orbs etc.) later.
  • Crashes are on top of the totem pole in terms of priority. Some of them, including some bluescreens, are caused by conflicts with other programs running at the same time as TFT. They should have gotten to every one of these, but they stay on the lookout for Bug Reports so they can catch stuff they might have missed.
  • Outlook on gameplay is good across the board. They're working on making Wisps feel less random in the lategame (some of this work includes guaranteeing a Combat Wisp every few shops).
  • MacOS Support: still working on it. No estimate yet but the goal is bringing it back during Set 18. They're working on the last few architectural snags before moving on to UI, UX, input support, rendering tech and tons of QA.
  • They ruled out switching to the iOS app on MacOS in the meantime as that would only pile on a whole new host of issues and slow down the overall process.
  • They thank the community for all the Bug Reports, feedback and comments and ask to keep 'em coming. The migration is taking an enormous effort but it's all hands on deck.

[Set 18] Aug 12th PBE Patch Notes

>Light on balance today, but a swathe of gameplay bugfixes, some enabled cosmetics, and the Blackthorn rework.
Regarding Artifacts, we want to stay consistent that Artifacts should be sharp, memorable experiences, so we're being careful to not nerf the exciting aspects out of the items. That said, they still need to remain consistently balanced, and one aspect of that is limiting how often Artifacts can appear and how often players can stack multiple. With Ornn and Wisps, the current rate of Anvils is higher than we'd like.

u/Lunaedge — 8 days ago

[Set 18] Aug 11th PBE Patch Notes

>Smaller today, focusing on stuff that hasn't been exciting to chase or was overnerfed before.
Kha'zix buffs are in lieu of an upcoming Blackthorn (6) mini-update. We're aware that the trait is too polarized around the (6), leaving the 2/4 also relatively weak.
We're also pushing Coven's per-kill Essence higher so that there's a clearer emphasis on how to stack large payouts. Either consistently have close losses to conserve Health, hit a high breakpoint and lose streak to collect essence quickly, or go on a winstreak to collect essence at 0.5x the rate you normally would.
The rest of the week should be focused on systems like Artifacts, Augments, and making sure as much content as possible has a real path to success.

[Set 18] Aug 10th PBE Patch Notes

>Relatively big balance patch coming today (8/10) near noon PT. Standard disclaimer that we're seeing your bug reports and they're being acted on, just on a different timeline than balance.
The PBE meta right now still seems highly focused on a few strategies, 5-costs (moreso than usual on PBE), Blossom, Artifacts, and 6 Blackthorn.
We intentionally want some conditional win-conditions to exist, as long as they're rare enough, but 4-costs and reroll should still be a fair baseline strategy. So we're focusing on closing the gap between 4/5 costs.
6 Blackthorn was a fair experiment, but ultimately the power of "doubling" the trait has made the 6 extremely powerful, and nerfing it would also hurt the viability of the 2/4. We're working on a reshape of the trait that isn't ready yet, but it's on our radar.
Blossom's champions themselves aren't extreme outliers, and what we saw was that a lot of what made the comp powerful was it's consistent econ generation and ability to quickly create reach it's full cap on Stage 4/5. We're targeting a lot of Blossom charms, with a focus on the early resource generation that outpaces other comps.
After this pass, our balance focus this week should be making sure those finer details are ready for Launch: early game balancing, Artifact high/lows, chase conditions.
That's it for now, thanks for playing!

TFT Dev Video: Enchanted Wilds & More

TL;DW

  • Geoff (right side) is TFT's Executive Producer. Peter (left side) is TFT's Game Director.
  • Set 18 will hit PBE on July 29th. The PBE cycle will still last for 4 weeks.
  • Enchanted Wilds goes live on August 25th.
  • Work until now has focused on the core experience, the extra time will be useful to add polish, improve VFX, fix bugs and balance stuff.
  • They're working on ways to gather feedback from players more effectively.
  • They'll be monitoring comments "under the video and in any other TFT community space" and interact with the community on every platform. ^(Hi there Bluecove, RIFTBEAAAASTS!)
  • They're still working on porting every cosmetic to Unreal. Not every cosmetic owned will be available at launch.
  • Until every cosmetic is ported over we'll be able to borrow a selection of other cosmetics of the same tier of stuff we already own.
  • Set 17 will stay live alongside Set 18 both in Hextech and Unity for a while. Space Gods won't be regularly balanced, but they want to keep the experience healthy for those who opt into it.
  • They'll be eventually back to the usual cycle of a single Set active alongside different modes.
  • Work on MacOS is still ongoing.
  • They want to improve communication with the playerbase and reply more often to feedback.
  • Cryptic tease at the end about "maybe even analysing how the meta evolves during and after PBE".
