    Usually it happens when GPU is working very hard, but with your specs it shouldnt be the case.... Are you able to make another video so we can yet again compare the difference? Other than that it can also be something to do with Windows Power Settings
     
    Setting your windows power settings to performance mode can also help to reduce or eliminate game stutter. To change the windows power setting, go to Control panel->Power Options, and set the power plan to High performance.
    glad that it helped abit though ^^

    Greetings Skylords

    In light of trying to keep the hype and spirits up, I'm going to host some trivia events ingame! There's no set schedule to this for now, but I'll try to announce ahead of time whenever I have one planned in discord and in this thread. It could however just turn out to be a spontaneous thing whenever I got time. But I need your help too... You can't have a trivia without.... Questions! So I implore you guys to rack your brains, put on your thinking armor and come up with some interesting trivia questions so that we can all have some fun! I think it goes without saying that you should refrain from answering if your own questions come up   I have naturally come up with some questions but they are not gonna last long! It will be hard to keep this going by myself ^^

    If you guys think of any trivia questions, PLEASE send me a PM on discord/forums. Whatever you do... DONT post them in this thread xD or everyone will know the question (and answer). Keep in mind it should not be overly technical or so obscure that no one could feasibly know the answer. The categories I’ve tried to think of so far are (game knowledge, Lore and unit quotes/map dialog). When in doubt, just send it to me anyway and I'll take a look!
    To further lighten the festive mood, I may host some Discord Voice Parties during said trivia games! Feel free to join and have some witty Battleforge related convos! Trivia will be announced ingame at least 15 minutes before the trivia starts.
    Now on to some basic rules so there are no confusions.
    Rules
    1) Everyone has only one chance and therefore answer each: Think carefully!
    2) Send me the answer through private messaging ingame. Don't post the answer in the public channels. Remember that the less people answer the more chance you have to win that sweet 200 bfp.
    3) Typos don't count as correct! If a question has a two part answer, write both parts in 1 line(e.g: Who says ... on which map?Answer: Moon on Soultree)
    4) People who haven't won yet will be given priority in prize giving.
    5) 3 Answers chosen (100 bfp each) [if multiple people know the answer at the same time]or if no one knows the answer early, 1 answer for bigger prize( 200 BFP)-will be announced when switched, only then everyone will get a second chance.
    6) Only full answers are accepted. If the answer is "Windweaver" weaver will not be accepted, similarly for "Cluster Explosion" Cluster will not be accepted.
    7) Maximum time per Question is 1 minute. If the time is up, the question will be backlogged for the future and the answer not given. You may use any information available to arrive at your answer.
    8) Have Fun!
     
    If you’ve made it here reading, congratulations! Any questions or comments about the event itself can be posted here. (NO TRIVIA QUESTIONS HERE PLEASE :3)

    I’m not blaming any one person but it seems like you haven’t read my previous post. Let’s not make personal attacks here. This balancing thread is for pvp and pve alike, let’s try to argue constructively and sensibly 
  13. Kubik liked a post in a topic by Ultrakool in Balance changes to game   
    It’s just a matter of knowing the counters to certain strategies. It’s the concept of play and counterplay, if you are not using the correct counterplay concept you will lose a fight plain and simple. For example if your units are knocked around if the power of aggressor is 150,160 or 170 you will still lose the engagement because you are using the wrong strategy. One can also say that the person playing aggressor deserve to win that fight as he’s using the right counterplay to your units. As long as there exists a counterplay I don’t think it should be a point to try to balance according to If people play in a way that they are “playing into their counters”.
    Put it this way, if you spam 5 small units and get countered by 2 windweavers squad + Hurricane does that make Hurricane op?

    Hey guys,
    Its great that this thread is so active and so many of you guys put in your time and energy to create constructive posts, but I’m starting to get the sentiment that things are starting to get out of hand and into flaming territory. It would be a shame to have to potentially hand out repercussions and so forth. 
    So please refrain from posts that are starting to be in offensive category, and give factual reply to what people’s opinions are. You can disagree with their opinion but you don’t need to do it in a way that  potentially attack their character or their person.
    Thanks.

    Can this thread get a little less hostile?
    I also don't agree with Deldrimor when he equals a high pvp rank with an ability to handle balancing decissions.
    Here are some prime (pun not intended) examples of what i mean:
    ,,main tire was nature T1 cause its strongest''
    ,,if the player knows how to play and got the skills he can counter anything so pls cut it out... stop cry about cliffdancer''
    ,,bandits is absolut underrated''
    These are quotes from top 10 players from this forum. They aren't all great at theocrafting like some might think.
    (and i don't care for the bad spelling, it's only the content of theses quotes wich scares me)

    I'd argue there are a good amount of cards, that don't even have a niche use due to really poor design. 
    EA didn't really understand alot of game concepts. An example would be the importance of bound power which led to very poor balancing choices between buildings, spells and units. Like Amii Monument wouldn't be as overpowered by costing 390 bound power with 0 abiliy cost compared to the current 250 bound +140 toggle, which even returns the full amount of the ability power into the void (which means it's completely free in any void manipulation deck anyways). 
    This is the thread I once made to talk about some cards, that could be buffed without touching the balancing by alot (I improved the list by now, so the thread isn't fully up to date though). Also there were alot of dead abilities that could be statbuffed or even reworked (Colossus has probably the worst ability design, because some people simply expected PvP would go to T4 back in 2009). 
    In terms of PvP the major problem lies within some cards being overpowered, especially T1 towers like Mortar and Phasetower. Frost T1 got a hard hit by a questionable homesoil nerf, that was aimed to shut down Frostsplashes in higher tiers without getting a healthy compensation buff for the weakened T1 in return. I made a threat, that revolves around that topic, aswell. 
    To add something for the nature T1 part, I do think that the faction gets shut downed, because you lose early fights and split engagements without the proper ability to trade in return as base trade threats get shut downed by turrets. I also do believe, that Thugs do have an unhealthy ability especially for extended trading in Fire mirrors, but that is something else. 
    In T2 there are also factions that are overperforming (like pure Fire for instance) or underperforming (like Bandits for instance).
     
    PvE:
    Splash decks just overperform here and pure decks are completely dead in a competitive environment. Only a few cards are really worth to play and usually end up being used in splash decks with Enlighment. This eliminates the need of synergy between teamplayers to play the most powerful combos like having one pure fire player for Batariel and a Shadow Nature player to support it. Right now everyone can do everything on his own. Almost every speedrun strategy nowadays revolves around Enlightment -> Batariel -> Buffs or oneshotting specific bosses with something like selfstacked Mutating Frenzy. Voidmanipulation and power funneling are additional problems in that regard. 
     
    If anyone likes to discuss balancing in any way, feel free to hit me up on discord, the forums or ingame. I'm looking to find overall balancing issues and work on potential solutions. Having many opinions about certain cards may help me to get a bigger picture as I would like to see how different type of players do experience the game. I'd like to present a full set of ideas once we get to a stage where balancing changes may be a possibility. Any help would be great here!

    1.1. Language
    These Forums and our Discord server are made for a global community. We assume English (UK/US) to be our global language and thereby it is required that every user posts their content within the English language. Additionally, inappropriate or vulgar language (cursing, swearing, etc.) is not permitted. In-game you are allowed to write in any language and do not require translations.

    Posts outside of the English (UK/US) language will result in a request for translation, which, if not obeyed, will result in post deletion and a warning being issued. Multiple warnings may result in account suspension or restriction of indeterminate length.
    1.2. Keeping it Legal
    We kindly ask you to not bring seriously illegal topics onto these Forums, Discord or into the game. Whereas sometimes these topics are allowed to be used in a discussion or post, please try to set boundaries and ensure that topics will not rise to a criminal level. Refrain from expressing specific methods of piracy or committing crimes. Though unlikely to appear, refrain from posting cheats or hacks for the game, even if this is to point out they exist. If you are thus far urged to report such an activity, contact a staff member or use the Forums or in-game report tool.
    2. Spamming or Unconstructive Behaviour
    Spamming and unconstructive behaviour is not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:
    Excessively communicating the same phrase, similar phrases, gibberish, or any repetitive posts of the same content Creating threads or in-game messages for the sole purpose of causing unrest and disturbance within the community Making non-constructive comments Clustering spoiler boxes (aka a spoiler in a spoiler in a spoiler in a spoiler etc.) Making senseless or other rule 2-infringing posts to increase rank "Adding fuel to the fire" or ensure the continuation or lengthening of fights, harassment, insults, and flame wars Abusing the Report tool (false alarms, nonsensical messages, insults) Posts marking a thread numbered, IBTL, TL;DR, or any other mocking statements Creating duplicate accounts for whatever reason Mind that these rules apply as much to the Off-Topic board as to any other forum board, as well as in-game where applicable. Examples of any of the above will be deleted at sight. Depending on re-occurrence  or the severity of the violation, this may result in warnings or direct account suspension or restriction for an indeterminate time.
    3. Unsportsmanlike Behaviour
    Unsportsmanlike behaviour is not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:
    Causing disturbances in forum threads or in-game, such as picking fights, making severely off-topic posts that may ruin the thread, and insulting others In-game: Griefing or purposely hindering allied players including abusing Shadow's self-damage skills In-game: Being AFK/Away or being purposely inactive (letting the others do the work for you without consent) In-game: Deliberately losing PvP matches to exploit reward or ELO systems. Examples of this behaviour include, but are not limited to trading ELO with another player or helping other players with ranked PvP achievements. 4. No Multi-Accounting
    Making duplicate accounts to circumvent bans, to circumvent daily reward or ELO systems, or for literally any other reason, is strictly forbidden, both on the Forums as well as in-game. We do not condone making additional accounts to speed up progression, get more points, to hide your identity, or for any other reason whatsoever. Routine and automatic multi-accounting detection has been applied to prevent multi-accounting, and accounts with IP matches may be suspended. Shared or public computers are taken into account, and if you accidentally get caught by our system while you are not intending to multi-account (e.g. have siblings/roommates/friends on the same IP or network, public PC, shared PC), feel free to contact staff in any other way. If sufficient proof is given, we can revert your penalties. Any registrations that closely resemble multi-accounting may have all their accounts banned immediately and without warning.
    5. Impersonation
    Impersonating a Skylords Reborn staff member or forum user to do harm, create fake posts or announcements in order to make others believe they originate from the impersonated person, or unjustly cause confusion among other users will result in immediate account suspension for an indeterminate duration without warning.
    6. Making Up Dev Statements
    Making up dev statements, especially feature dates is strictly forbidden. Do not assume you know more than Forums, streams or official social media tell, and never make up any release dates or fake information, not even as a joke.
    7. Trade Rules
    No begging No scamming No public reports/blaming of the above Avoid imbalanced trades. Additionally, do not transfer all valuable items to another account when leaving the game to prevent exploiting the reward system or appearing to engage in multi-accounting, which may result in potential risks to your account.* No forum or in-game account selling No transfers or suggestions or mention of transfers, transactions, or trades involving any real-life currency, including online measures such as Paypal. Trade strictly through in-game currency and/or cards on both ends of a deal. Failing to follow the last two rules of this section will result in a permanent ban without warning or negotiation. Any violation of the other rules may result in a warning. Consecutive warnings may result in account suspension or restriction of indeterminate length. 
    * If you receive large, unexpected donations from an unknown account, please do not hesitate to contact the moderators to ensure fair play and to prevent any potential rule violations
    8. Avoiding Penalties
    Do not break the rules and do not avoid penalties thereof. This includes making duplicate accounts, as well as making others post on your behalf. Duplicate accounts for any purpose whatsoever are considered to be an infringement of the rules. Attempting to avoid penalties will result in an extension of said penalty, possibly to the extent of lengthy suspensions, permanent banishment or account deletion.
    9. Being a robot
    Spam-bots or suspected spam-bots will be deleted at sight. If staff has accidentally mistaken you for a spam-bot, try to contact Skylords Reborn staff in another way, such as private messaging on the Forums, or use the #contact-staff on our Discord Server.
    10. Responding to Rule Violation / Reporting Content
    If a user does not follow these rules, it is strictly forbidden to publicly denounce or point out to this user that they are breaking the rules. This counts as public denouncement/insulting and is not tolerated. If you wish to inform someone of their rule violation, do so in a private, kind, supportive and structured way whilst following Rule 1. If you wish for SR staff to act, rather than sending a private message to them, click the report button under the infringing post. Provide a reason and staff will get behind this whenever they can or see fit. Abusing the report button will result in immediate warnings which may lead to account suspension or restriction of indeterminate length. 

    Similarly, you can report other players in-game by right clicking on the players and clicking "Report". Again, it is important to know that forum and in-game reports must abide by rules 1 and 2. Failure to abide by this may result in receiving penalties yourself.
    11. Respect the Staff and their Decisions
    We try our utmost best to do our job of managing these Forums, the game and the community to our own ability. We try to do our jobs at a pace we see fit, please have patience. We apply lenience of rule enforcement to our own standards. Any threads or posts mocking staff decisions may be removed at sight and consequences may apply as would be taken to act against public denouncement. If you have a problem with the actions of a staff member, discussing it privately, preferably with that staff member, is the only right way to approach it such a situation. No reporting, no public denouncement. Rudeness towards staff may be penalized as staff sees fit. Criticizing development speed may be penalized as staff sees fit. Severe problems with Moderators that you feel should be anonymous for whatever reason must be sent to an Administrator and by absolutely no means anybody else. 
    11.1 Respect warnings and the privacy thereof
    If you end up receiving a warning, we expect you to keep this information private, as is already described in the rules above. Publicly talking about, discussing or criticizing warnings of any form, or action taken against you or another forum member, is subject to possibly increasing your warning's value or duration and is in violation with rule 9. Please do keep this information private and if you feel like discussing this with other members feel free to do so in PM or outside of the Discord Server, Forum threads or status updates. If the discussion remains to be public, please beware of the risks this may bring within our domain. The Skylords Reborn Team reserves the right to take preventative measures within their domain.
    12. Content Uploading Policy
    You are allowed to make Youtube videos, streams, write blogs and posts etc. about Skylords Reborn.
    Additionally, the SR team reserves the right to intervene with content distribution if they deem this necessary. If they see the need to shut certain community content uploading down they may do so without reasoning or warning. However, if any content will be a victim to this, these will most likely be provided anyway.
    13. Game client and bug abuse
    The usage of any bugs within any in-game content to any unintended benefit to any user in the game is forbidden and will result in bans. This includes breaking the game, manipulating the client or server in any way, using bugs to your or anyone else's advantage, generating any currency, value or account data outside of their intended purposes, and generally doing anything to the game (local or global) that you should not be doing. This does not include using design flaws on maps to get a more efficient clear time, but does include pretty much any other illegal action, such as cheating, data manipulation, or bug abuse. Currency or other data involved will not be refunded.
    14. Cheating
    In addition to the rules above it's important to emphasize that the usage of any tools, trainers, software or other methods of affecting the game in order to cheat, gain advantages, or for any other purpose whatsoever, is strictly forbidden. These programs or forms of abuse provide us with enough reason to act immediately. Having such tools linked to the game or affecting it in any way, even when unaware thereof or when they aren't used at all, is considered in conflict with our code of conduct. Only using them in single player, only using them for yourself, or assuming other players are not affected are invalid excuses and such reasoning will be directly ignored, as will subsequent ban appeal(s) and their reasoning. Affected networks or other accounts will not be taken into consideration when cheating players are banned, and we hold the infringing player accountable for any such results affecting those around them. We consider this to be common sense.
    [ADDITIONAL FORUM RULES]
    15. Posting Behaviour
    There are a number of rules every user should stick to whilst they create a thread or response to an existing thread or chat:
    No thread-bumping within 24 hours of a thread's last post Necroposting outside of Off-Topic boards is not recommended (Applies to threads of which the last post is older than 30 days) NO ALL-CAPS POSTS No threads that already exist or questions that are already answered in the FAQ (Use the Search Function!) No IMspeak/netspeak/txtspeak, please take your time to create an understandable reply or topic No double-posting. Or triple-posting. Or quadraposting. Or pentaposting... No consecutive similar posts. This applies to both threads and replies and is accepted as spam No more than 2 animated pictures (.GIF) per post No public blaming, no matter how right or wrong both you and the subject matter are No insulting. Cynicism may count as insulting No public reporting or "member-ating" (acting like a moderator i.e. (strictly) pointing someone at the rules) The report button is there for a reason! Similarly, staff behavior and rule enforcing leniency should preferably be discussed privately and should be respected. No begging for reputation No begging for admin/dev/mod approval or response. We'll find your thread ourselves Post your topics within the appropriate forum. (If not, Moderators will move your topic, but if this happens too much, appropriate measures will be taken, e.g. warnings/suspensions) Use descriptive thread titles outside of Off-Topic boards. Not only will threads with titles like "Hi", "Help", "Plz", "Error", etc. repel users, but they are also vague and unhelpful. No lying or awakening false hopes through made-up dev statements. You can help people out by explaining Developer statements, but don't assume you know what you do not know, as this is punishable Failure to abide by these rules may result in edits and/or warnings. Consecutive warnings will result in account suspension or restriction for indeterminate length.
    16. Profile Restrictions
    Although most restrictions to accounts are automatically implemented, we want to make you aware of some points and rules regarding your user profile.
    Avatars/Profile Photos
    Must abide by at the very least the entirety of Rule 1 Must not be animated Signatures
    Can't be longer than 255 characters Have a total restriction in size of 600x150px for imagery. The total signature height should not exceed 150px (that includes both images and text together) Animated GIFs are not permitted Embedded content, such as YouTube videos and widgets, is not permitted Should not contain overly large text Must abide by at the very least the entirety of Rule 1 Should not contain referral/affiliate links Cover Photos
    Should not be animated Should abide by at the very least the entirety of Rule 1 About Me
    Animated GIFs are not permitted Should abide by at the very least the entirety of Rule 1 Usernames
    Should not contain links Should abide by at the very least the entirety of Rule 1 Other profile fields
    Should abide by at the very least the entirety of Rule 1 Any violation of these rules may result in editing or a warning. Consecutive warnings may result in account suspension or restriction of indeterminate length.
    17. Reputation/Like System
    The reputation system (rep system) is there for the community to give value to posts other users make ("likes"). When using the rep system, take a few things in mind:
    The rep system is NOT a user-group improving system. Having a lot of reputation makes you look trustworthy, but makes you no more or less of a user than everyone else. Do not beg for likes. This will result in warnings, edits, and may even result in penalties if re-occurring. Rep of any form creates no exceptions to forum rules whatsoever; rep itself should abide by the forum rules and having any value of rep does not make one an exception to the rules either. Spamming rep in any form is not allowed. Said user may be reported validly. Reputation should never be used to enforce an argument. Sure, likes reserve the right to show you like or are in agreement with a post, but not to establish or force groups of people to support your standpoint, especially not if the argument or discussion caused is against the rules in the first place.
    17.1 Reputation System Enforcement
    We do not tolerate the incentive of abusing reputation in any of the above ways. Therefore, if staff considers your reputation to be in any way spamming, invalid or used in a way it should not be used, staff undeniably reserve the right to act and penalize users for said behavior. We will always give warning(s) in advance for this. Failure to adapt results in rep changes being nullified and penalties applying. This means staff can judge the intentions of your reputation points as they see fit. Feel free to contact the Moderators if you have issues with this, but they  reserve the right to refer to this rule and close the case that way. Therefore, use reputation at your own risk. Rule 9.1 may apply undeniably with no discussion possible.

  22. Navarr liked a post in a topic by Ultrakool in A Thought for Improving the Rewards System   
    Hello,
    We have been thinking about achievement system for quite some time now, and we have plans to add one in, our current quest system is very rudimentary and just a placeholder more than anything, just a few quests to test the implementation of that new system.
    There’s still some internal discussions on how we are going to expand that. Your suggestion sounds solid, and you make a great point about how it would incentivize new players to complete a hard challenge by getting an achievement.[clearing expert map on first time(1p,2p, or 4p)] Something similar has a very good chance of being added
     I think the clearing with another deck just stacks the reward abit too much so maybe there could be a sub-achievement that doesn’t actually contain bfp or gold reward? 
    There’s actually been another megathread made about quest/achievement suggestions: https://forum.skylords.eu/index.php?/topic/4166-quest-achievement-suggestions-megathread/ Maybe it’s worth a read if you’re interested.
     
  23. Ultrakool liked a post in a topic by MrXLink in Current Proposal: PvP Rewards (AOT rPvE)   
    It has been months now, and I want to apologise for not having had the time to tackle and implement this feedback as extensively as I'd want to. I feel like I may be a little too rough on the abuse factor of rewards in a game mode that is not straightforwardly farm-able and requires a lot of setup. The point @RadicalX makes about the 50% winrate is admittedly a huge oversight that has significant impact on the actual GPM values that would come out of this, let alone the longer queue times. However, we can't factor in queue times that much due to the current server population holding back until the wipe, so I generally hope that through these measures we're going to get some more PvP popularity in general. 
    I was sceptical at first about Radical's idea for the higher losing values but I can understand where he's coming from, and I do believe that while this makes things easily more prone to abuse, I think it's only fair to give this system a chance as it's way fairer on your average user. Though I would personally consider this to be a bit high on the loss end for players as opposed to gaining absolutely zero for failing any rPvE, despite the fail frequency being way lower there, I think it may weigh out to make PvP more appealing, which is a general priority here. Therefore I would be willing to adopt the formula @RadicalX stated as it's pretty much in tone with the rest of the game modes (after running some calculations based on fairer, more comparable W/L rates and queue times). I do, however, still want to add to the reward for climbing the steep slope that is PvP to make it more appealing in a less bland way than to add flat rates.
    I have an idea of rewarding consecutive Ranked wins and possibly an incentive to keep playing PvP without turning it into a farmfest (which is still my biggest concern and a threat to PvP enjoyability), along the lines of gaining a gold multiplier on Ranked after each win, that would help the PvP community to farm up a bit better without making it directly easier than rPvE, which we can agree on should be the main go-to for farming (or speedrunning Guns of Lyr, the likes of EA-era PtD and Conversion I suppose). Without establishing a ton of dominance for high-level PvP players and/or smurf potential, there could also be a slight gold bonus for having a comeback after X losses (thus making up for lost gold bonuses). This would be a different way of stimulating repeated PvP play without simply increasing the flat gold rates or formula. An example would be to gain +3% gold after each consecutive victory, but a comeback after min. 3 losses may net a +5% gold bonus per previous loss. There would of course me maximum values to this. This way winners and losers do gain a good amount of bonus gold if they do well or manage to come back from a tight spot without it being too prone to abuse. 50/50 players would not be penalised as opposed to comebacks or streaks all that much, rPvE would not siphon unwilling players to PvP and I think this system would be a good motivator. This also incorporates @Kubik's idea of supporting constantly winning players and helping hardcore PvP players to boost their decks ever so slightly more, all without making PvP too appealing for mindless grinding, but appealing enough for variety. Example data below:
    I am currently aware of the possibility that Streak and Comeback bonuses could theoretically be abused by stalling a match, but I do believe stalling a PvP match would put the player at risk of being beaten in the process, and with the max time for earning gold being in place, this stalling would be a risky but not really abusive practice.
    With these ideas up and going for implementation, the final changes would look as follows: 
    Increase base ranked PvP gold for victories by 20% (250 > 300) Change the gold-over-time formula for PvP matches to bring win and loss values closer together Maximum time win gold increased to 3500 (up from 1350) Maximum time loss gold increased to 1800 (up from 500) This means loss and win scaling are now 88% apart as opposed to the original 175% Sparring Grounds will now grant 33% of the gold Ranked PvP would earn, after a set time has elapsed in a match (likely more than 2m) Ranked PvP matches may benefit from a win streak and comeback system For every consecutive victory, gain a +3% gold bonus, stacking up to a max of 15% For every consecutive loss, gain a +5% gold bonus applying to your next victory, stacking up to a max of 25% Hopefully, these changes will make PvP significantly more attractive. Please feel free to give further input on these proposed changes, sorry again for the delay, and thanks a lot to @RadicalX for bringing the ongoing issues to light, so that they are ironed out before implementation.
