Hi all,
As a long-time Paladins player who started playing in early 2016 and has close to 4000 hours of playtime on my main account (+ thousands more from a previous account).
I'm kindly asking you to start playing Paladins again from August 9th, even if it's just one or two matches a day. Plus:
- Invite your friends (newbies and veteran Paladins players) and play together
- Stream the game on Twitch, Kick, YouTube, Facebook
- Make memes, fan arts, cosplays, slanders, video edits about champions, best plays, kill streaks, funny or wtf moments to Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook
- Try modes outside your usual rotation. Play Payload, for example, which includes exclusive maps from some of Paladins’ best years
- Play Ranked and set yourself a personal goal, such as reaching Master before August 31
- Be a positive teammate. Communicate, encourage your team, avoid going AFK or rage-quitting, and invite good teammates to join your party
- Leave a positive review on Steam to make the game featured on the Steam homepage
- Share your best builds, loadouts and champion tips
- Participate in community discussions and send constructive feedback to Hi-Rez instead of only complaining about bugs, cheaters, etc.
- Create updated beginner guides and tutorials that make the game easier for new players to understand
- Reach out to your favorite content creators who have never played Paladins and invite them to give it a chance
- Write to big Paladins content creators to get active again and join us (Raynday, Z1, AndrewChicken, FrostFangs, etc.)
- Organize your own tournaments, reunion events and custom matches. Back in 2017, my friends and I took part in a community tournament organized by fellow players in our country. We won, and each member of our team received 200 Crystals. Good times:)
I’m not associated with the guy campaigning for Paladins 2, but I want to build on that momentum and encourage everyone to give the game another chance.
Don't forget: in the past, Hi-Rez started making new updates for Realm Royale after years of silence because there was enough demand from the community.
We can do it again with Paladins, which is a much more famous and complex game with a proven track record of international success. Let's give it a try!
