A teaser for you fans of the game. We had Matt who is the Community Specialist for Hi-Rez Studios interview with us last night for the upcoming Reapercast. You will be able to hear the interview this Wednesday when the next episode releases. A big thanks to @anon36214017 for putting us in contact with Matt.

Good job Rob.

There’s also a brief video showing off the next map to be added, entitled Splitstone Quarry. According to Hi-Rez, players will “venture into the depths and explore some all new terrain.” The new location is coming in patch OB55.
Lastly, a new cinematic trailer has been released for Paladins. Called “No One Escapes the Law,” a nod to Lex’s ultimate ability, it features five Flank class members duking it out (just like your public matches!). There doesn’t appear to be an occasion for the fancy new trailer, but perhaps the FPS — which has been in open beta on consoles since May 3rd and PC since September 2016 — is nearing a final launch?
It’s all destined for Paladins in the coming weeks.

Not two weeks after being announced, Jenos is now available to play on Paladins: Champions of the Realm and Hi-Rez also made sure all the details for the champion were available. Jenos is a support hero with 2600HP and one healing Ability. The remaining abilities may resemble some other abilities of similar games, but the combination of them into one champion makes Jenos have potential as an aggressive support character.
Jenos’ primary ability (his weapon of choice) is the Star Splitter, a mid-range automatic weapon that deals 120 damage every 0.13s (923 damage per second).
Jenos’ secondary is Astral Mark, an ability that heals up to five champions and up to 250HP\sec (50 per champion) with a 9sec cooldown and a potential duration overflow of 150%.
Then we have Void Grip, a 0 cooldown skill that locks an enemy up in the air and deals 150 damage per second for 2.5 seconds. Movement abilities from the enemy interrupt the effect.
Stellar Wind gives Jenos a Borderlands 2 kind of gravity, with 75% faster speed and bigger longer jumps and falls. Jenos cannot fire during Stellar Wind.
Hi-rez also released a trailer to sum everything up:
Jenos’ ultimate, Through Time and Space, locks him in to place for 1.5sec with immunity to CC damage and then releases a long range blast that causes 2400 Damage in a straight line, regardless of obstacles or walls.
Jenos is available to play now.
His ultimate looks nasty.
He sounds awesome

I’ve only played a few bot matches so far, but I’m really digging it. Think I’m going to focus on Skye or whatever her name is…seems an easy one to learn.

New patch completely changed the Champion Select screen. Took me a bit to find who I wanted.
I also got the new Torvald Clockwork skin and voice pack. I love how they are adding in new voice packs with character redesigns.

Played a bunch over the weekend, so starting to get the hang of the mechanics and maps. The new character Jenos is a total beast and will get nerfed, and hard. I didn’t even modify the deck and had huge success playing him even with just moderately competent PUGs. That said, he can be countered pretty well by flankers as his mobility isn’t all that great until you get used to disengaging with his speed power.

FYI.
Jenos is stupid right now. If you’re not playing as him as support you’re doing it wrong. @grex and I just finished a match where he got 100k damage AND 90k heals. WTF?
He’s in dire need of a nerf, no question. Far too much juice in his cannon, the suspend power can isolate too well, let alone the damage it does, AND he has some serious healing ability if geared towards that. Waaaay overdone IMHO.
That said…fun to play until then. LOL
Paladins Gets a New Patch with New Achievements
Paladins: Champions of the Realm entered closed beta last year with some shiny achievements, and more recently that beta has opened up to everyone. The game is a hero shooter, similar to Overwatch, and in typical Hi-Rez fashion, it’s free to play. That, coupled with a fairly easy achievement list, means tons of players have tried the game out. The latest patch introduces the game’s “All Hallows Evie” event and, perhaps more importantly for many readers, it’s changing the nature of that easy completion to make it…not so easy.
First, the achievements:
*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***
The patch notes are extremely long, so in lieu of posting them here you can head on over to the game’s official website to see everything. However, one notable detail is that achievement progression and rewards will be granted only for achievements that the player would never have the opportunity to unlock again. What this means is that these achievements are only partially retroactive — you can’t get to level 20 again, so that will unlock, but you can reach a 20 kill streak once again and you will need to do so.
You can take a look at some of the festive skins and items below:
The developers have also confirmed the release date for the new patch.
The patch should go live early in the morning on October 11th.
See my post. HUGE News.
