Regarding Buffs overriding each other

#1 Post by DarnYak »

Please stop posting about this. This is a 'feature' imposed by Blizzard. I can't do anything about it while retaining buffs. Sometimes i may change things around to improve the situation, but overall I can't do anything.

Note this does not apply to abnormal bugs caused by any buff conflicts. If overriding rebirth causes permanent reincarnation or something, i want to know about it.

Why not implement some of the stuff in a non-buff way? Dota has 90 heroes and just 1-2 buff conflicts. Don't tell us they did it with magic.

yes you can, but the amount of time it would take yak to change the current setup is horrendous...

I don't recall seeing DotA use buffs much at all.

Yes and no. Most buffs used rely on their assoscated effects (such as miss, attack speed, etc.) which aren't easily reproduced through triggers. Something like Deathblows can be switched over because its not tied to the actuall buff. On top of that i'll need to code in a full buff system on the side, which probably won't take too long but I'm already way behind.

And regarding Deathblows, i think it was originally intended to dispell health regen type effects, so the buff overriding was intended. However, its not currently clear enough either way, so its still sort of undecided.

@Dekar and Discombobulator, thanks for being douche bags. All I'm trying to say is there's more important things to do to EotA before you completely change the way buffs work at the back end just so a couple oddities perform right.

While there aren't nearly as many buffs per hero as in EotA, as I've said, there's over 90 heroes. (Here's where I tried to find a list of buffs in Dota, and failed).
