Harshness towards new players is a pretty significant issue as well.
Then what must be done? Rework the
entire system? Because I honestly don't see a way to make it any easier on noobs than it already is, there are plenty of help and tutorial functions and comprehensive information in the quests area for anyone to see, therefore it is
HUMAN ERROR ALONE that makes it harsh on noobs. You even have a feature that calls anyone who doesn't temper their scroll a Noob and keeps telling them to read it. The only real reason is that people jump in expecting a game like DotA, and run into a whole slew of new systems that they need to learn how to use, and some people might give up on them and quit before ever learning the ropes. EotA is a complicated game, but that is one of it's strengths, you can't really help that. It's up to the people who play it to learn, and any whining or giving up is just impatience on their part.
And as for your buglist:
- Quests menu does not show information on game commands or modes available for input before a game starts, or ANY info for that matter
- Commands section in Quest menu says at the very top "...with the color indicating how damaged the tower is" obviously refers to the tower health command but it is cut off there
- There is no listed command for all pick mode in the Commands section of the Quest menu, in fact it seems several commands may be cut off... This should be fixed
- Only being able to temper items in the field at Rank 6 is a SERIOUS imbalance issue, it makes Rank 6 and over people have an unfair advantage over those who aren't
- There should be a feature that allows you to type a command and see exactly how much Shield strength is left on your hero
- Misspelling; Throughout is spelled Throughtout and the "...destroyed the temple and killed thousands trapped inside" has no period or anything at the end, this is all in the beginning cinematics
- Misspelling; "...and you may now retrive the artifact" when a team achieves enough control should be spelled retrieve
- Misspelling; in Infiltrator's Sabotage skill, 'proportionally' is spelled 'proportionaly', and "...how damage it already is" should be damaged, and there is no period at the end either
- Suggestion; Add a talent for Tactician and Sorrow Liege that removes the Mana cost and cuts cooldown of Order Attack
- Elite Archers are shown to have 21-25 Piercing damage in their spawning tower description but actually have 41-47, and it doesn't even mention their siege attack against buildings
- Dire Howl debuff reads DireHowl in buffs section of a units description
- Hammer of Banning, which lets you vote to have a player kicked costs 300 gold? Why do we pay good money for something easily done with a text command?
- There should be a feature where as soon as a Tower Core is produced the entire team gets a message notifying them of it
- Sometimes, somehow, AI heroes are able to hire a Goblin Zeppelin and use it intelligently, such as picking up units (yes, wave spawns) and dropping them behind the opposing wave, yet human players can do nothing of the sort
- There needs to be a 'freeze' option or similar disable for computer controlled players, as right now they seriously feed the other team
- Whenever an Arcane Wagon captures the artifact,
ALL Obelisks are rendered inactive, cutting off any further energy. There isn't a problem with that, however there is
NO warning to players that this will happen, this should definitely be fixed as it's a serious change in gameplay
I know most of that sounds nitpicky but you DID ask for a list, and I was on a roll so meh. That's just everything I could think of in a couple hours time, I can probably find more bugs and post them here if you want.
Question; How do you turn on all pick? I know the HostEm bot had it on every time somehow, is there a command or what do I need to do?
