[April Fools] Playtest 202: AtlasBall, Farms, Other Adjustments
Playtest 202: AtlasBall, Farms, Other Adjustments
General Gameplay
Atlasball
Added goal nets behind either nexus, and a neutral “Sports Cube” to the center of the map.
Heroes may now attack the Sports Cube
When a Worker attacks a Sports Cube, the Sports Cube is moved in the worker’s facing direction.
If a Sports Cube touches a goal net, the non-owning team gains a point!
Earning a point grants you a really accomplished feeling and your parents will take you out for pizza afterwards.
At the conclusion of the game, each player will receive a Participation Trophy.
Farms
Farms have been added to each player's main base
Players may cultivate a harvest of their choosing (chosen in Squad Selection)
Players may trade the outputs of their farms to other players for Coin or Scrap
Alder is 300% more effective at cultivating their farm.
Hydros cultivates farms at 200% the normal rate, decreasing to -200% over the course of the game (as he begins flooding the farm)
Vex can destroy players' farms by Igniting them

100% Solid gold.
First close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Take a moment to realize that we're all starstuff, and if our eyes can detect one kind of starstuff while being another similar kind they must be very specialized tools.
Open your eyes. You're blind! But you see, not everything though. Not what you really need to see. Not what you really want to see. If only you could actually see.
Don't tell me how to live my life.
I challenge all'y'all to do battle at the Nippopolis Breastiary for a one way ticket to midnight!
This one's my favorite. Don't worry, I'll just sing-along in voice comms for the players who aren't in Europe.
Just because it's all a dream doesn't mean you can't have fun!
Good content draws good eyeballs, irregardless of propriety.
TFW nobody gets your Clerks reference =(
Finally a chance for me to put my DDR skills to use.
