It’s up on their site and they have a Dominion site.

2802

No, just that it will be at PAX and Gamescom, which does me no good

2803

Hmm this is cool but I hope it doesn’t take forever like their other announcements (Magma, Project Shiny etc).

2804

I think Magma Chamber has been scrapped.

2805

Dominion looks really fun from that preview. I hope it pans out.

2806

So we were waiting for …an announcement ? And according to the webpage it is ‘coming soon’ ? Whoop-de-doo. Where have I heard that one before ?

2807

You haven’t been following games long have you? Companies always announce their announcements.

2808

I have. But I still allow myself to express that it manages to leave a very negative impression, not yet so aloof and world weary as others.

2809

At least they didn’t run a website with a countdown timer on it.

2810

This article has a lot of gameplay change details as well

And this one

There are also team “quests” that will pop up during gameplay, encouraging your team to attack or defend a certain point. Complete the team quest when it pops up on the screen, and your team will knock points off the enemy’s nexus health total, as well as pick up a team-wide buff.

Sounds like the dynamic objectives in Section 8.

2811

ha loved the first comment in the joystiq page.

2812

Well, I suppose they have actual footage of Dominion being played, so it’s a little farther along than Magma Chamber ever was, I guess.

2813

That one requires some explanation: “The personal score was really created to de-emphasize the importance of a bloodthirst, or racking up a Kills/Deaths/Assists score,” says Hough. “We’ve all played the game with the guy who’s more interested in kills than winning the game. And so the goal of the personal scoring system is to reward you for contributions, including killing players, that benefit the overall team objective.” Players will get personal points for doing things like picking up health, defending objectives, or even grabbing buffs, and presumably there’s an IP reward of some kind for top scores at the end of the match.

Oh hey there.

2814

I’m begging them to let me into the test. I doubt it will work, but how I wants it

2815

Not only this, but the fact that it’s a big reveal covered by PC Gamer, they pretty much have to release it.

You’re fucking brilliant, Pogo.

2816

Didn’t PC Gamer cover Magma Chamber and Project Shiny?

2817

PC Gamer never posted footage of Magma Chamber in action did they? Or anything other than concept art screens?

2818

They are saying it will generally be available shortly after PAX.

2819

Thanks for that Joystiq link. Much more in-depth than what’s available on the official site. I’m just getting into the game (maybe 30 total games played) and I have to say the Domination mode they’re adding looks awesome.

2820

start at level 3 with more gold…

I’ve been complaining for a while they they ought to give access to a couple of sliders in custom skirmish games and let users experiment:

Starting Gold
Start Level
Max Level

Could make for some fun quick games that way without radically changing anything.
