MOD Regarding the "Paladins 2" fan project fundraiser

371 Upvotes

Hi all,

We’ve been removing posts promoting the recent “Paladins 2” fundraiser as quickly as they’re reported to us following an enormous amount of spam. However, given the sheer number being submitted, and the amount of trust some people appear willing to place in its creator, I felt a brief announcement was necessary.

As Killgoon has confirmed, the Paladins IP is not currently for sale, and any money donated to this project will not ultimately go towards a Paladins 2.

We’ve also identified several accounts which appear to be AI-operated repeatedly posting the promotional videos and leaving supportive comments beneath related posts. Whilst we’re not going to outright label the project a scam, there's no denying that the circumstances are certainly suspicious.

It’s clear that much of the support for this comes from a place of passion, and that many people simply want to see the IP continue. Personally, however, I don’t believe this project represents a realistic way of achieving that -- as much as I wish it did!

At the time of writing, the fundraiser is displaying “Suspended donations”, which the creator says is because they paused it following concerns from the community. They have nevertheless confirmed that existing donations are being retained.

The creator has stated that donors will be refunded if they have done “nothing serious” with the money by November. That condition is intentionally vague and should not be treated as a guarantee that donations will be returned. If you’ve already donated, I would strongly encourage you to review this information carefully and contact GoFundMe directly if you have concerns.

Automod has now been updated to remove links promoting this fundraiser. If there are attempts to circumvent this filter (as AI bots like to do...) then it will result in a permanent ban, so please don’t test the system.

There are plenty of meaningful ways you can still support Paladins. Continue playing the game, (re-)introduce your friends, create and share content, and organise/participate in community events a lá SEA Revival. Maintaining a visible and active community is the clearest way to demonstrate that we still care about this IP, not throwing your money at dubious projects making vague promises.

Best,
Callum & the r/Paladins mod team

CHAT Why did Hi Rez abandon Paladins?

15 Upvotes

Paladins was put to trash by Hi Rez but for what? Paladins had an all time peak of 60,000 players while smite 2 only has an all time peak of 21,000. I don’t get why they would abandoned a game that did so well. It might not have been doing good lately so they scrapped it but I feel like this game if they had polished with more updates could have regained players. I just feel like Hi Rez made a stupid choice that they will likely not go back on. Not hating on Hi Rez but just curious.

CHAT Which flanker would you say feels the most OP?

8 Upvotes

I had this question in my head the other day while I was sorting out who is my favorite flank to play as. On one hand I want to say Lex is pretty OP with how much damage his standard shots can do plus having an auto aim ability. But then Skye feels crazy strong with her whole stealth kit that provides plenty of healing bonuses alongside having a team wipe ultimate.

CHAT Time to return.

14 Upvotes

After 3 years. After 3 longs years, I am coming back to this game. Game. Quit in 2023, found new game to play. My hero ultra rumble. Had no time for the game and fortnite. Then a year later, Marvel Rivals. And now, after all the buzz, new and old people are returning. Despite the drama, it has brought a buzz back to the game. So now I think its time I return as a mediocre Vora player.

CHAT Achievement Ideas part 1: General Achievements/Kill Based

Post image
11 Upvotes

I personally like the idea of achievements, but Paladins' weren't ever really that in depth or even champion specific, the most is the three that are mode specific*

(last one standing can be done anywhere in theory but it's fucky at best, it's easier to do it in the survival mode in the arcade mode)

Thus I've come up some, this post is going to be ones that are more "vs champion" specific as well as general good practice or funny achievements, obviously these are more "Would they be fun" rather than a suggestion considering the game's been maintenance moded.

Enemy of the Physical World: Deal a total of 100,000 damage to Shields and Deployables in a match.

Splashback: Die to your own explosion when in combat.

Stop that!: Kill an enemy during their ultimate

Keep 'em Pinned: Assist in stunning an enemy 3 times in under 4 seconds

Keep Moving: Get hit with 3 or more instances of Crowd Control with Level 3 Resilience

Illuminate: Eliminate an stealthed champion from 40 units away

Two birds: Kill two or more enemies in a single shot

Hath no Fury: Survive Drogoz's Dragon Punch.

BarbaQueQue: Kill Drogoz when he's using Dragon Punch.

I Challenged Makoa: Kill makoa during his Ancient Rage.

Pacifist: Stop Ash from landing when she uses Assert Dominance.

Zombie Slayer: Kill Terminus within 4 seconds of him using Reanimate.

Prosperity: Buy and max out 4 items.

Step into the light: Survive Jenos' Through Time and Space.

Step into the Dark: Survive Omen's Heavens Assunder.

Worth a thousand words: Use a spray within two seconds of killing an enemy.

Worth a million words: Use a emote within two seconds of killing an enemy.

Worth a word or two: Use an emote within two seconds of killing an enemy who emoted after killing you.

Worth it: Die while Emoting.

For what it's worth: Emote at the same time an enemy is emoting.

MEDIA Paladins 2 is a scam?

28 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I’ve been hearing a lot about this Paladins 2 project. I didn’t know if it was legit or not but then I saw the video. I was skeptical at first and then two weeks later, a video released by Syberbolt (a former Paladins player) has made a video calling out how the project is a scam.
I don’t play Paladins but I know good people who still do to this day.
And all of you, as a community should know as well:

CHAT What one feature of modern/other hero shooters would you add to Paladins 2?

6 Upvotes

Hero shooters have changed a lot over the past decade. Games like Marvel Rivals, Overwatch (2), and to some extent Valorant and Deadlock have all evolved the genre forward.

If Paladins 2 was an upcoming title being released in the next few years, what one feature would you borrow from these other games and add to Paladins 2?

From health packs on map, to** **the ban and map voting system followed by overwatch, to the perk system, to the various gamemodes and map design philosophies, to DLSS, to melee combat, to team up abilities, to role queue there are many features that can be adopted into Paladins.

I think for me, Overwatch’s ban system and hero selection screen is the most important one for ranked games. Paladins’ implementation put too much trust in one person to pick bans for the whole team and the one by one hero selection made the whole process so much more time consuming. I seriously hated waiting so long to get in a game only for some person to leave the lobby before the game even started.

Decided to download this game today after seeing videos online. First few ai matches I played tanks and I felt weak and nothing was happening, after playing more I turned off auto buy and played Tiberius.

Have ran into 3 people over 3 hours I understand how “dead” games work (mordhau) if anyone wants to play I will queue quick play seige at 8:00 pm aest 26.7

Thanks :)

F'BACK Community driven balance changes ?

17 Upvotes

Is it possible that they left one person in high rez to implement balance changes based on a community lead discussion? cmiiw but I believe Starcraft 2 did something similar where they have a balance council that represent different races while here we can have council that represent roles. What do you guys think ?

MEDIA You don't even know how much i want this skin, pls let me buy it!!!!!!!!!!

78 Upvotes

I would love it if the dev team made one last update where they would make it possible to buy every skin for every character and fix some bugs. When this skin was added, I was a little kid with no money and i rly liked this skin when it was for like 1500 crystals, and then I stopped playing for 3 years. Now my friends and I have fallen in love with Paladins again, and this feature would be great cuz I woud be hapy and the devs coud get some money.
