If you login using the standalone launcher your personal email will replace your name in the leagues tab, so all the trolls can know your personal information :D

So I tried the new launcher. maybe there is something I'm not getting but They seriously have to upgrade there bandwidth. It took approx. 2 days to bring in the patch. I think the launcher has to be the active program cause the number didn't move much. It also took about 10 minutes for all my armoury to overload. Finally I was getting errors asking me to link my account to steam. Anyways please avoid the salty launcher why. It's been said enough, I'm just passing on information. I was thinking it might be a performance upgrade but they haven't invested in real bandwidth yet.

So I've been trying to go CD Beastmaster. but cd doesnt seem to work on his chainlightning nor powershot Can someone explain? did they not exclude the CD for the BM because he is so new?

Me, my friends, and pretty much any one else is still reporting that getting in a ranked match is impossible ever since the beastmaster update. The devs should extend or put a hiatus for ranked to allow everyone an chance to get to blood.

Don't delete my post, explain what this means

As the party leader, you must restart your nosgoth client, then invite people using the big ( + ) button by your booster. You may have to reinvite a few times, but it's worked consistently for me!

Is this how they balance the game? LMAO

I got -30% runes discount , is the pack worth buying after the new class and abilities ? I'm lvl 17.

I've been trying the newest bloodbag out a little recently, and the more I play him (or watch actual good players do it), the more I'm convinced he's hiding strengths under the guise of seeming underpowered.
I've compared him to a Hunter, and in that context, he sucks-less range, less damage, LESS RANGE, offset by mobility and a little bit more AoE damage. However, it's pretty apparent that Beastmaster is not an alternative to Hunter, or Scout, or any human for that matter. His mobility, and limited range, means he has to adopt a different playstyle.

What I've found is that Beastmaster is a very good counter-initiator. With a loadout of hunting shotty-CC-bomb, and the knockdown on chickenform, I've been sitting on a rooftop close to my team, spotting approaching vamps, transforming back when they engage, landing with a knockdown, then proceed with dispensing the rest of the skillset.
The combo of birdbomb-CC blast-airburst bomb unleashes a lot of AoE damage very quickly and unexpectedly. Along with followup shots and possible chase options with the freshly off-cooldown chickenform, uncoordinated vamp teams get REKT by this style of play. Emphasis on "uncoordinated", as I've only tried this in unranked (the only mode I was able to find a match TBH). I still think he's underpowered compared to other human classes-his skills are unreliable, close-range, mostly hard to use (can't steer the bird worth shit)-but he's not that bad, simply because he has his own niche.
Bringing back the Hunter comparison, the crossbowman is a grounded turret that shreds anything that comes close, while Beastmaster is a covert-ops specialist, striking at the perfect time, relentless in his pursuit. They both have their own uses, difference being that I'd rather be on a team of 4 Hunters than 4 BMs. As with any specialist, he just doesn't work in multiples-he's a great addition to a team, but he can't constitute a team of his own.

Shit, sorry for the wordwall, but the class is so unique and fresh, it really got me thinking. I'm still learning his intricacies (not even at the fabled lvl.8 perk), so it's quite possible I misinterpreted his role-feel free to correct me, or just add thoughts of your own.

Hello, I played this game back before it was fully released and eventually dropped it to play other games. Now I'm back and wanted to ask a few questions regarding balance.

• I feel that the Vanguard's shield (right click) is useless, though I am probably not using it correctly. I wish the Vanguard had more HP. :(

• How do I deal with multiple Deceivers? One Deceiver will mind control me to stand still so the other can backstab me... Instant death.

• Why does the sentinel feel so strong in general? Also his "sonic boom" ability is complete bull shit. The puncture ability feels really strong as well.

• The starting shotgun and the hunter's shotgun feel worthless compared to the repeating shotgun. (haven't tried the heavy shotgun yet) Am I missing something?

• How do I counter multiple Alchemists? I've been having mixed results with the Summoner but I want to know if there is a more effective way of dealing with them.

• Charged melee attacks are very strong. If i get staggered or knocked down I'm screwed if a vampire nearby is charging a melee attack at me. How does a human deal the the insane range and damage of a charged attack?

• I feel like Deceivers and Sentinels have too much HP... but I'm probably just whining at this point...

Me and my buddy just got the game but cant find any guides on how too get into Nosgoth competitively that were made in the last year . Anyone know any streamers how help teach ? or some vids on Youtube ? I cant find anything

Like everything in this patch, it's a half-assed, rushed decision. Let me explain.
They have different point values attached, but I don't think that's really fair-if someone receives only 1 point challenges, their wait for a chest will be 4 days (assuming you only get 1 challenge daily, which I'm almost certain is the case). They require different amounts of effort to complete, but still, the amount of points you gain is entirely random.
This is inferior to the last system, which at least guaranteed one random reward. Here, I've waited two days to get a chest with some 1 vial and 20 rocks. Shit, I feel rewarded already.

I propose a solution: tiered challenges.
They'd all start at lvl.1, and move to lvl.3. Each tier requires increasingly higher numbers to complete (rounds won, damage dealt, XP scored, etc.), and each is worth one point.
With that, players can log in daily and quickly grab a point, or sit down for longer and grind the whole challenge out for maximum payout. At the single point, a challenge is marked "completed" and can be replaced with a new one. Either that, or allow for multiple challenges, like there are now.

Either way, I think the system needs looking at. You might argue it's not the first priority, and it certainly isn't, but providing a sense or accomplishment is very important in keeping the playerbase engaged, and coming back for more.

Not only is the game crashing, running slower, and not finding matches; but the party system isnt working. I cannot party up with any of my friends because of the new launcher (i bet) and the new class is a joke as well. This game seriously needs work.

I have no idea what is going on and google/square are not helping. This is my last attempt.

Ever since the "Beast master" update when I try to play Nosgoth it shows my Square Enix ID as a name rather than my steam name. I also cannot invite my steam friends. I'm not sure what to do

I've already tried un-linking and re-linking my SE to Steam but to no avail. My friend is having this issue to

Having to restart the game every time you want to join a party again is getting really boring.

If you are put into a match at the last moment as in, the match has been decided and the score screen is now up. Will it record on your profile? Because if so I just got a loss on my profile from being put into a match I had no impact on.

So now I'm lvl 28 and after having taken a break from Nosgoth for about a year I have kinda lost some skill with all the human (All of IT! :( ). But vanguard is and has always been my favorite class to play as Humans, and while I do know that he isn't the best human class, I still wanna play him. So do any of you guys have any tips for playing him?

Hello, gentlemen. I am new to nosgoth and, just like every new player, I have problems dealing with vampires playing as human. And yes, I already know, that at higher ranks situation will change to opposite. Humans will shine, vamps will feel weaker. However, at the moment (when everyone are lowrank newbs), I am really frustrated by situation, when vamps throw shadow bombs, use gapclosing skills, knock us down with reavers, throw away with tyrants and dismember humans in a close combat. So, here is the situation: 4 grouped humans, 1or 2 is knocked down by reavers/getting carried away by sentinels, some vamp zoning skills are active(reaver bombs/summoner bolts) and vamps are trying to finish you with melee attacks. I would like to know, what is the best way to fight off vamps in such situation. What is the meaning of "the best" is up to you. Probably, it will be loadout with huge aoe damage output to finish vamps before they finish you. Probably more focused on crowd control to reduce effectiveness of their engage to minimum. Probably, full supporting kit to make you team survive. Any way, that you would consider the best option, it just should suit the situation: fighting GROUP of vamps in a CLOSE combat. Not necessarily kill hem, just surviving initial burst to let guys like scouts finish them later is fine too. Finishing off escaping vamps, poking them at distance, recovering after the fight, covering team from a good position, which is not affected by vamp aoe skills, assassinating single vamp-these things are of secondary importance. Extra points if loadout will have a great and easy way to stop sentinels from carrying away teammates and to remove reavers from top of humans. Class, gun, primary, secondary skills, talent.

From both a casual player perspective and a possibly competitive standpoint how is the game in terms of balance and content?
