<p>Greetings Champions!</p><p>Missed our Livestream earlier this week? Here’s a handy breakdown (<i>with timestamped links to the stream VOD</i>) of everything we revealed that’s coming soon to Predecessor!</p><h2 id="winterfest-2024" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Winterfest 2024</h2><p>It’s almost time to wrap up warm again Champions, with the return of Predecessor’s annual Winterfest event!</p><p>This year our teams have been hard at work on significantly stepping up the event, packing it full of more content, more rewards, and more polar polish than ever before.</p><p>Explore a beautifully frozen battlefield and keep warm in the heat of battle by working through an all-new 5 week Winterfest Battlepass!</p><div class="aspect-video w-full"><lite-youtube videoid="EUOFU92W2wU" params="iv_load_policy=3&amp;showinfo=0&amp;rel=0&amp;cc_load_policy=1&amp;cc_lang_pref=en&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.predecessorgame.com&amp;start=247" style="background-image:url(&#x27;https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EUOFU92W2wU/maxresdefault.jpg&#x27;)"></lite-youtube></div><p>That’s right, this year’s Winterfest event is chock full of rewards for you to earn, spread across 30 levels to battle through. There’s both premium and free tracks, giving you flexibility to take part in a way that works for you. Take on the free track for select cosmetics and some free overhead emotes (more on those later) or jump into the paid track for exclusive skins, variants and even more festive cosmetics.</p><p>Winterfest will run from early December to early January. Don’t miss out!</p><h2 id="ranked-mode" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Ranked Mode</h2><p>Ranked Mode has been similarly worked on and we’re excited to share some big changes coming soon as well as touch upon further changes that will be coming in the new year.</p><div class="aspect-video w-full"><lite-youtube videoid="EUOFU92W2wU" params="iv_load_policy=3&amp;showinfo=0&amp;rel=0&amp;cc_load_policy=1&amp;cc_lang_pref=en&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.predecessorgame.com&amp;start=686" style="background-image:url(&#x27;https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EUOFU92W2wU/maxresdefault.jpg&#x27;)"></lite-youtube></div><p>Firstly however some of you might have seen discussions about a Season 0 split. Originally we intended to split this season but after much thought and hard work from the teams, we’ve decided to keep it splitless, instead resetting when Season 1 hits the game in a subsequent update.</p><p>Season 1 will run for much of 2025 - split into 4 periods (splits) - and it’ll feature a number of changes and improvements based on feedback and data from the current period of Ranked Mode.</p><p>On top of this we’re working on new systems that will let you swap your position, Hero and even Role in Draft, giving you unprecedented flexibility. We’re also working on a second Ban Phase, adding a further layer of strategy, and a slow decay system for players sitting at higher ranks to encourage a more competitive rank ceiling that ticks away at players who get a little too comfy or choose to rest on their laurels.</p><p>For update V1.2 we’re removing promotion matches in mid-tier divisions. For example, if you’re in Silver 2 and your next match will take you over the VP threshold for Silver 1, a win will take you straight into that tier rather than needing to win a specific promotion match. This does not apply when going up divisions though; promotion matches are still in place for getting from Silver 1 to Gold 3 for example.</p><p>We’ve also heard your feedback on server locations, particularly surrounding a North America Central (NAC) server for those taking part in Ranked Mode in that region. We’re exploring this possibility and will share more news on this at a later date.</p><p>Lastly we’ll be building on the changes announced in this week’s Toxicity Blog, including higher VP penalties for players who AFK, while implementing a system that mitigates VP loss for players who find an AFK’er on their team.</p><h2 id="ea-skin-bundles" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">EA Skin Bundles</h2><p>Earlier in the Season we asked the community for input on how we could make good on our promise to make the exclusive EA skins available to those who played in Early Access but didn’t have access to the bundles at the time.</p><div class="aspect-video w-full"><lite-youtube videoid="EUOFU92W2wU" params="iv_load_policy=3&amp;showinfo=0&amp;rel=0&amp;cc_load_policy=1&amp;cc_lang_pref=en&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.predecessorgame.com&amp;start=1359" style="background-image:url(&#x27;https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EUOFU92W2wU/maxresdefault.jpg&#x27;)"></lite-youtube></div><p>Thanks to your great feedback we’re excited to share that that new variants of these skins will be arriving soon!</p>

              <p>These skins will be free to anyone who already had the original exclusive and available to buy for everyone else who didn’t have the chance earlier in the year.</p><p>We’re currently aiming to ship these skins in 1.2.X, but this is subject to change.</p><h2 id="buffs" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Buffs</h2><p>We’re excited to announce significant changes to the various Buffs in the game!</p><h3 id="river-buffs" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">River Buffs</h3><p>Up first we have Evolved River Buffs. These are more powerful versions of their early game counterparts with each River Bug <i>evolving</i> as a fight goes on.</p><div class="aspect-video w-full"><lite-youtube videoid="EUOFU92W2wU" params="iv_load_policy=3&amp;showinfo=0&amp;rel=0&amp;cc_load_policy=1&amp;cc_lang_pref=en&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.predecessorgame.com&amp;start=1574" style="background-image:url(&#x27;https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EUOFU92W2wU/maxresdefault.jpg&#x27;)"></lite-youtube></div><p>Evolved River Bugs are larger, have more health and most importantly, offer stronger versions of their Buffs when killed:</p><ul><li><p><b>GREY</b>: Increased Movement Speed and <b>Out of Combat Movement Speed</b></p></li><li><p><b>PINK:</b> Ability Damage and <b>Ability Haste</b></p></li><li><p><b>GREEN:</b> Shield and <b>the Shield now explodes on depletion, damaging and Slowing nearby Enemies</b></p></li><li><p><b>ORANGE:</b> Attack Speed and <b>Omnivamp</b></p></li></ul><p>River Bugs evolve at the 21 minute mark, becoming a viable power spike in the mid game.</p><p>Our goal is to make these mini-objectives more meaningful as points of contest throughout the game, encouraging more combat at these locations later in the game.</p><h3 id="buff-transfers" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Buff Transfers</h3><p>Jungle Buffs are also seeing some mechanical changes soon too!</p><p>The Red and Blue Buffs will be able to transfer to whoever kills the Buffs&#39; owner, offering opportunities to gain these buffs in new ways while helping protect against early Jungle invasions, giving players the chance to recover a stolen buff.</p><h3 id="empowered-orb-prime-recall" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Empowered Orb Prime Recall</h3><p>We’re also adding a new type of buff called Empowered Orb Prime Recall which, you guessed it, you can get from taking down Orb Prime or a Mini Orb.</p><p>Once an Orb Prime has been dispatched, all living allied Champions with the Orb Prime Buff gain this new empowered recall for the duration of the Orb Prime buff, whereas for Mini Orb it’s only for the Champion who last-hits the Mini Orb who gets it.</p><p>With it you can return to base in half the time of a usual recall (just 4s!) using a unique new recall effect. We hope this will help players more strategically and quickly redeploy while retaining more momentum on the field.</p><h2 id="projectile-speed-changes" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Projectile Speed Changes</h2><p>Following feedback we’ve increased the speed of projectiles, making them roughly 3x faster.</p>

            </div>
            <p>This should make basic ranged attacks feel more reliable, making it easier to land shots without having to lead them quite so specifically.</p><h2 id="map-adjustments" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Map Adjustments</h2><p>We’ve made a few small tweaks to the map, mainly focusing on the Jungle for 1.2.</p><p>Spaces around objectives have been opened up a little bit more, to make some areas feel less cramped and to remove some choke points that could be camped. Half walls now make it easier to see who’s engaging in some areas of the jungle, which can also be more easily traversed by Heroes who have access to verticality.</p><div class="aspect-video w-full"><lite-youtube videoid="EUOFU92W2wU" params="iv_load_policy=3&amp;showinfo=0&amp;rel=0&amp;cc_load_policy=1&amp;cc_lang_pref=en&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.predecessorgame.com&amp;start=2379" style="background-image:url(&#x27;https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EUOFU92W2wU/maxresdefault.jpg&#x27;)"></lite-youtube></div><p>Objective pits like Fangtooth and Orb Prime have been flattened to make for a wider space for team fights and engagements while similarly making it harder to miss a blink when trying to escape the pit.</p><h2 id="teleporters" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Teleporters</h2><p>In one of the biggest shakeups to Predecessor in years, we’re adding Runic Teleporters to the game!</p><div class="aspect-video w-full"><lite-youtube videoid="EUOFU92W2wU" params="iv_load_policy=3&amp;showinfo=0&amp;rel=0&amp;cc_load_policy=1&amp;cc_lang_pref=en&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.predecessorgame.com&amp;start=2671" style="background-image:url(&#x27;https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EUOFU92W2wU/maxresdefault.jpg&#x27;)"></lite-youtube></div><p>Runic Teleporters are new map structures that allow players to quickly travel from one side of the map to another, creating more strategic depth when it comes to map control, creating complex interactions between lanes and adding a little more risk to each of the side lanes.</p><p>In 1.2 there will be two Runic Teleporters, one in the Offlane and one in the Duo Lane. These new structures live on the outer edges of the lanes and feature runic circles on the ground that when stood on for a short period of time, will launch the Hero across the map to the other Lane’s Runic Teleporter.</p><p>Each Teleporter comes online roughly 10 minutes into a match, and takes a couple of seconds to charge up before it’ll launch you (and any allies within the circle at the time). Once you’ve used a teleporter there’s a short personal cooldown before you can use it again.</p><p>If an enemy steps onto a Teleporter while you’re charging it up, its charge progress will pause until that enemy steps off again.</p><p>Once a Teleporter has been used or stepped off of it’ll begin to discharge for the same amount of time it was charged for. You can leverage this discharge time to get off a quicker teleport than if you stepped onto a fully discharged Teleporter!</p><p>Runic Teleporters aren’t subtle. You’ll be sent hurtling across the battlefield in a bright aerial arc, obvious to anyone on the map who might be looking up at the time. Likewise you’ll get a dramatic view of the fight from above, giving you a brand new strategic perspective!</p><p>This new traversal mechanic adds a substantial amount of depth and strategy to both outside lanes. We can’t wait to see how you use it!</p><h2 id="brawl-mode-all-heroes" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Brawl Mode - All Heroes</h2><p>Ever wanted to 5v5 all Iggy on Brawl Mode? Us neither, but now you can!</p><p>We’ve opened up Hero selection in Brawl Mode to allow for multiple repeat Hero picks.</p><div class="aspect-video w-full"><lite-youtube videoid="EUOFU92W2wU" params="iv_load_policy=3&amp;showinfo=0&amp;rel=0&amp;cc_load_policy=1&amp;cc_lang_pref=en&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.predecessorgame.com&amp;start=3240" style="background-image:url(&#x27;https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EUOFU92W2wU/maxresdefault.jpg&#x27;)"></lite-youtube></div><p>Brawl Mode has always been at it’s core a quick and casual game mode with an emphasis on, well, <i>dumb-fun</i>. It’s a great place to let off some steam, try out new things and ultimately to not take things too seriously.</p><p>We’re excited to see what unhinged team compositions you can come up with!</p><h2 id="toxicity-improvements" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Toxicity Improvements</h2><p>In case you missed it, earlier in the week we published a new Toxicity report.</p><div class="aspect-video w-full"><lite-youtube videoid="EUOFU92W2wU" params="iv_load_policy=3&amp;showinfo=0&amp;rel=0&amp;cc_load_policy=1&amp;cc_lang_pref=en&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.predecessorgame.com&amp;start=3514" style="background-image:url(&#x27;https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EUOFU92W2wU/maxresdefault.jpg&#x27;)"></lite-youtube></div><p>It revealed a number of new features, changes and improvements to AFK detection, player reporting feedback and more.</p><p>If you missed it, check it out <a href="https://www.predecessorgame.com/news/dev-diary/toxicity-report-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>!</p><h2 id="quality-of-life-changes" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Quality of Life Changes</h2><p>We’ve all been there. A cool new skin just dropped but before you know it a game has popped and now it’s too late to pick it up, leaving you to stare at a skin in the Draft screen that you want but can’t use.</p><p>To combat this we’re making it easier than ever to grab those cool new skins you keep forgetting to pick up by making skins buyable in the Draft menu (and giving folks a little extra time too).</p><div class="aspect-video w-full"><lite-youtube videoid="EUOFU92W2wU" params="iv_load_policy=3&amp;showinfo=0&amp;rel=0&amp;cc_load_policy=1&amp;cc_lang_pref=en&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.predecessorgame.com&amp;start=3865" style="background-image:url(&#x27;https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EUOFU92W2wU/maxresdefault.jpg&#x27;)"></lite-youtube></div><p>We’re also delivering the highly anticipated &#39;Extras&#39; tab in the store, a new destination for spending Amber and Platinum on little bits and bobs outside of bundles. This will include sprays, overhead emotes (more on that in a moment), icons, recall and jump animations and more.</p><p>Our goal is to make our currencies more useful and flexible while giving you greater control of your own spending decisions. In the market for a new spray but don’t want to splash on a whole bundle? The ‘Extras’ store has you covered!</p><h2 id="emote-wheel" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Emote Wheel</h2><p>Last but not least we’re pleased to share a new Emote Wheel system coming in 1.2.</p><p>This new customisable wheel offers you multiple slots to equip different sprays and emotes, adjustable in the system menu.</p><p>Not only is this feature highly requested, but with so many sprays in the game already it’s impossible to pick just one to use in each match! Now you’re free to express yourself more freely, and we can’t wait to see how you use more sprays!</p><div class="aspect-video w-full"><lite-youtube videoid="EUOFU92W2wU" params="iv_load_policy=3&amp;showinfo=0&amp;rel=0&amp;cc_load_policy=1&amp;cc_lang_pref=en&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.predecessorgame.com&amp;start=3980" style="background-image:url(&#x27;https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EUOFU92W2wU/maxresdefault.jpg&#x27;)"></lite-youtube></div><p>This new system also debuts with all new Overhead Emotes.</p><p>Overhead Emotes are new form of communication that let you select a small icon that you can display over your Hero’s head. You’ll be able to use them to wave at allies, goad enemies and just generally express yourself like never before.</p><p>Overhead Emotes are mostly earned through level up right now, but in the future we’ll be expanding the system based on your feedback and requests.</p><div class="pg-separator"></div><p>That’s pretty much everything revealed so far for 1.2 and beyond!</p><p>What are you looking forward to most? Let us know over on Reddit or Discord!</p><p>- Kari, Community Lead &amp; Steggs, Senior Community Manager</p>

1.2 Livestream Recap

<p>Hello,<br/><br/>It’s Omeda_Zuzu with the news from Player Experience Team!</p><p>It’s been a while since the last time we updated you on the state of toxicity in Predecessor, so we’re back to fill you in on all the details of how things are currently going, and tell you all about some new improvements we&#39;ve been cooking up over the last few months!</p><h2 id="upcoming-toxicity-changes" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Upcoming Toxicity Changes</h2><p>We&#39;re aiming to introduce a number of improvements to combat toxicity in the near future - starting with some of the biggest toxicity pain points that we’ve seen reported within the community, whilst also increasing visibility and transparency on action we take against the players who ruin the experience for others. </p><p>What we will describe below is only part of our efforts to tackle toxicity. There are already more systems in development and the ones we’re talking about today will be constantly monitored, built upon and adjusted as necessary.</p><h2 id="afkdisconnect-detection" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">AFK/Disconnect Detection</h2><p>One of the most infamous ways to ruin a match is to go idle in base, or “AFK”. </p><p>With our new systems coming soon, ruining the game this way will be much more difficult. </p><p>If the game detects no activity for a period of time at the start of the game, the match will stop and the offending player will be appropriately penalized. The match itself will not be recorded and the rest of the players will not suffer any of the downsides of the forfeited match: no VP loss, or undeserved bans for those who have not gone AFK. </p><p>For AFKs happening later in the game, our approach will be different.</p><p>The game will go on, but the player who has been identified as an AFK&#39;er will not be able to vote in a surrender vote, which will remove their power to hold their team hostage in a match if they wish to leave early.</p><p>In case the team wins, even despite the efforts of the AFK’er to sabotage the game, the AFK’er will not receive their share of rewards - in addition to being punished for their disruptive behaviour.<br/><br/>This system is subject to change and fine-tuning based on data and feedback we receive.</p><p>There will also be changes to surrendering mechanics in general to make it more difficult to sabotage the game by repeatedly initiating surrender votes. </p><p>We’re introducing changes to surrender timers with 1.2 : we’re increasing the time between surrender votes from 1.5 minutes to 5.<br/><br/>In Ranked there are no limits to how many times the vote can be initiated.</p><p>In Standard each player gets only a single opportunity to initiate a surrender each game. Use it wisely. </p><h2 id="automatic-afk-punishments" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Automatic AFK Punishments</h2><p>We want to underline that our new AFK detection system will automatically sanction players without the need for human review.&nbsp;&nbsp;That means that the offending player will receive a suspension or ban. </p><h2 id="report-feedback" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Report Feedback</h2><p>We are aware that currently the in-game reports feel underwhelming due to the lack of feedback to confirm whether or not the report was actioned.</p><p>We’re happy to announce that this will be changing soon, with the implementation of a new system that will let you know once your in-game report has contributed to an action taken against the reported player. </p><p>We hope that by increasing visibility over reporting outcomes we&#39;re able to both validate your efforts for contributing to a healthier community whilst also better showcasing the effectiveness of the system, something we know many would like to know more about.</p><p>We’re hoping to get this feature ready in the next few weeks.</p><h2 id="chat" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Chat</h2><p>We believe that chat moderation is in a good state - our AI solution, GGWP, has been in place since the beginning of 2023, and it has been taking action against toxic players for over a year now. </p><p>That&#39;s a long time for both our team and the AI to learn more about player behaviour. The AI itself has gotten pretty good at differentiating between acceptable in-game banter and purposefully malicious communications, and we&#39;ve taken on board player feedback during this time to fine tune the severity of certain phrases to further improve it&#39;s differentiation.</p><p>We know that it&#39;ll never be perfect however due to the constant evolution of communication, so expect continued improvements as time goes on.</p><p>We are also happy to report that we have seen very few false positives in the last couple of months.</p><p>We are aware that some creative players do sometimes manage to find ways to get around the chat restrictions and we regularly adjust the system to be able to detect these scenarios better. That being said, we appreciate your reports greatly and they have been very helpful in aiding that process. We’re aware that there are still some rare instances of players saying hurtful things and we’re doing our best to keep them to an absolute minimum. If you see players trying to dodge the system to be abusive, don’t hesitate to report them, we’ll take care of them.</p><p>As there is some misinformation circulating about how chat moderation works in Predecessor, here&#39;s a little refresher:</p><ul><li><p>Our system is reputation-based: which means the player’s penalty is calculated on the entirety of their in-game behaviour so far. If they were a good egg and this is their first time being toxic, their penalty would be shorter than someone who said the same thing but has a history of consistent negative behaviour.</p></li><li><p>Our tool covers 18 languages - being toxic in languages other than English will also result in a penalty. </p></li><li><p>While we welcome your feedback on many aspects of our game, let it be known that we don’t plan to change our stance about the use of derogatory language, threats and verbal abuse in Predecessor - we will not tolerate such things in our game, nor should our players. </p></li><li><p>Toxicity in response to toxicity is still toxicity and action will be taken accordingly. Please don’t let the toxic players lower your reputation - if you spot abuse, please report it, mute the player, and let us take care of it.</p></li></ul><h2 id="player-reports" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Player reports</h2><p>We are well aware that in a competitive game such as ours, emotions can fly high and the temptation to ruin the game can on some occasions be too strong for some individuals, to the detriment of everybody else&#39;s experience. We’ve spoken about our plans for the near future - let’s talk about what is happening right now. </p><h5>How do we handle reports at the moment?</h5><p>We process all player reports you submit. Some of them are actioned automatically, whereas others are reviewed by humans and action is taken accordingly, once their offence has been validated.</p><h5>Which way of reporting is better? In-game report or support portal report?</h5><p>Please use the in-match and post-match reporting systems for all player reports.  These direct reports are immediately collected and processed by our anti-toxicity systems, and are necessary to trigger the Report Feedback system to inform you when action has been taken. </p><h5>Can one report contribute to somebody’s ban?</h5><p>In the most extreme cases, yes, but in majority of normal instances we need to see the pattern of bad behaviour reported by different players before we revoke someone’s access to the game. </p><p>Like in most games, just because somebody reports you doesn’t mean that action will be taken. </p><p>We also check player’s individual circumstances - new players for example can sometimes be reported for not being good at the game and while we appreciate this could be frustrating for more experienced players, it’s not a bannable offence.</p><h5>Will you share specific details of punishments for reported players?</h5><p>Our goal is to punish offending players, not to incite witch-hunts. We believe restricting one’s access to the game is punishment enough - the point of it all being to stop the offending player from ruining your game. </p><p>We hope that the incoming feedback system for in-game reporting will help to provide enough clarity to ensure players know when their reports have been dealt with.</p><h5>What are the bannable offences?</h5><p>You can be banned for various lengths of time for any of the following:</p><ul><li><p>Going AFK in the game</p></li><li><p>Evading an existing ban</p></li><li><p>Cheating</p></li><li><p>Impersonating members of the Omeda Dev Team</p></li><li><p>Intentionally feeding</p></li><li><p>Intentionally ruining a match</p></li></ul><p>Penalties are shorter for first offences, but can ramp up as far as permanent suspension. </p><p>While chat offences will usually result in chat penalties, in extreme cases a chat phrase can be a reason for a ban on its own. If a player is toxic in the chat in addition to displaying a game-ruining behaviour, they might also receive a harsher penalty.</p><h5>Are there any wrongly applied bans?</h5><p>At the moment, all the gameplay bans are manually applied by a human - action is only taken if there’s solid proof that the player in question is displaying bad behaviour - consistently or to an extreme degree. There isn’t much room for error in our reviews. </p><h5>Why are the results of my report not immediately visible?</h5><p>As we mentioned, there’s an entire verification process that needs to take place before a player can be penalized. We are working on speeding things up, so watch this space.</p><h5>How do you make sure that systems can’t be abused and used to troll innocent players? </h5><p>We have several systems in place that prevent the abuse of our moderation process. Since the system is also based in GGWP, player reputation comes into play once again - though it should be noted that it’s a separate system from the chat one.</p><p>We have a way of differentiating between reliable reporters and people who might or might not be trolling. Reports made by players who have accurately reported bad behaviour in the past can hold more weight than those of players who spam reports&nbsp;&nbsp;every match.</p><p><br/>And that’s it! For now.</p><p>Thanks to all of you for your feedback so far! We&#39;ll continue to tweak and improve our systems to ensure the best experience possible for all of our players. We can’t wait to see how your experience changes following the implementation of the AFK detection systems. As always, we’re eager to hear your feedback and thoughts!</p><div class="pg-separator"></div><p>- <b>Omeda_Zuzu</b>, Player Experience Manager<br/></p><p></p>

Toxicity Report #4

So what exactly are we doing for new players?

<p>Greetings Champions.</p><p>Following last week’s announcement that Predecessor is soon hitting 1.0, we wanted to openly discuss expectations surrounding this milestone release, providing you with insights into why we’ve made this decision, our vision for it, and what you can expect in this major update.</p><h2 id="expectations-surrounding-10" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Expectations surrounding 1.0</h2><p>We understand that the term 1.0 is turbo-charged with all manner of expectations. It suggests that a game is &#39;complete&#39;, or that there will be a fundamental shift in development away from adding major new features. We want to confirm that this will not be the case for Predecessor. We see Predecessor as a constant evolution, as most live service games and we’re extremely excited to use this update as a baseline for all the things coming to Predecessor in the future. <br/><br/>Make no mistake, the upcoming update is the most significant in Predecessor’s history for the amount of features, improvements and content it includes, and we believe it aligns with our goals for 1.0 and beyond.</p><h3 id="why-10-why-now" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Why 1.0? Why now?</h3><p>We’ve heard your concerns about our readiness to launch into 1.0 as previously announced. Frankly speaking, after 1.0, our game won&#39;t be &quot;feature complete&quot;. Defining feature complete is a task of its own with a MOBA, as it differs for each player and everyone will have a different list. So, instead let&#39;s talk about why we made this decision. It’s important we share the reasoning behind it, because we’re keen to continue developing alongside the community and want every one of you to be on board with our goals so you can support us in our efforts along the way and understand the vision we have for this milestone! </p><ul><li><p>Firstly, 1.0 is a necessity to launch Predecessor fully on the Xbox store and to move outside of the limited Game Preview tab where it currently resides. This step is crucial in Predecessor’s growth, as it allows us to get the game into the hands of far more players due to the increased exposure that is afforded to games outside of the Xbox Game Preview program. Predecessor is doing extremely well on the Xbox platform, with new players getting stuck in and people playing more matches than other platforms. Given these strong results we want to ensure Predecessor gets the discoverability the game deserves – this is an important step in that journey. </p></li><li><p>Secondly, a 1.0 launch will bring in new players. We have a healthy, engaged player base at the moment, but our goal is to inject the player base with a flood of new players so we can properly validate and continue to iterate larger systems like Ranked mode. This will allow us to collect valuable data, make adjustments and have confidence in the long term growth of these systems. Is Predecessor ready for new players? We’ll look at this in the following section.</p></li><li><p>Thirdly, we know that Predecessor players have been waiting for a large marketing/advertising campaign. After all, growing the game benefits everyone, reducing queue times, improving matchmaking and building fiercer competition than ever before. After months of validating various marketing strategies, A/B testing, and receiving feedback, we believe we’re ready to go wider. Tying this release to Gamescom in August allows us the perfect opportunity to kick off our largest marketing effort yet, pushing the exposure and visibility of Predecessor to as wide an audience as possible. We’ll talk a little more about our marketing efforts further on.</p></li></ul><h3 id="what-can-we-expect-from-10" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">What can we expect from 1.0?</h3><p>One of our core goals for 1.0 is to improve the experience for new players joining the game. There are a number of reasons for this, but importantly we feel that by better preparing these new players and teaching them the core skills they need to succeed in Predecessor, we’ll be helping tackle feedback many players have expressed around toxicity, matchmaking, and new player insipidity.</p><p>Given this influx of new players, an important question is raised; is the game ready for them? </p><p>The updates we’ve made to the new user journey in 1.0 should allow us to put our best foot forward. One of the key pain points we identified in the current iteration of Predecessor was a struggle among new players in understanding the various strategic elements of the game. </p><ul><li><p>Which role should I choose? </p></li><li><p>Which hero best matches my play style?</p></li><li><p>Which lane should I fight for?</p></li><li><p>What ability is best for me to level up first?</p></li></ul><p>The list goes on.</p><p>Some of these are challenges that players face in all MOBAs and some of them are challenges unique to Predecessor. We identified many of these key issues and have introduced solutions to them in 1.0. That’s not to say there isn’t more work to be done here, but we believe these changes will make a massive improvement to a new player&#39;s early experience and should make the game more enjoyable for all players as a result. </p><h2 id="so-what-exactly-are-we-doing-for-new-players" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">So what exactly <i>are</i> we doing for new players?</h2><p>Below are just some of the features we’ve included in 1.0 to address our new user journey, additions or improvements specifically tailored to helping our new players find their feet:</p><h3 id="draft-screen-redesign" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Draft Screen Redesign</h3><p>We understand how daunting it can be for new players to get to the draft screen only to be presented with a number of options and decisions that might not be immediately clear, especially for those new to MOBAs. To tackle this, we’ve made it easier to pick a Hero using recommendations based on the team composition and the player’s skill level, made it clearer that Fill and Jungle are much more challenging roles for newer players, and made information like what each Hero does and how they play easier to find than ever before.</p>

              <h3 id="improved-automations" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Improved Automations</h3><p>Once in the game we know how important it is that a new player understands what is happening to their Hero. Sure, Auto-Buy takes the pressure off of having to understand some of the more complex decisions straight out the gate, but we know how confusing it can be to not know what’s happening to your Gold, to not know which Ability to upgrade first, or to generally feel detached from the important decisions being made on your behalf. </p><img alt="Autobuy.gif" loading="lazy" width="800" height="450" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" style="color:transparent" src="https://downloads.ctfassets.net/rm5ymc69vmwz/7JslmpDUSRr4oUtSse9XBm/875a563720e7f4abe506ab64bb62f727/Autobuy.gif?w=800&amp;fm=webp"/><p>All of this and more is why we’ve added Auto-Crest and Auto-Level, as well as new visual showcases for all player automations to make the decisions being taken on the player’s behalf more understandable for newcomers.</p><img alt="Auto Ability.gif" loading="lazy" width="800" height="450" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" style="color:transparent" src="https://downloads.ctfassets.net/rm5ymc69vmwz/3BmsXr998XzJv9TTLPzmWz/831c26fedf54caef65fa7b2e21066dc3/Auto_Ability.gif?w=800&amp;fm=webp"/><h3 id="attack-range-indicator-upgrade" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Attack Range Indicator Upgrade</h3><p>We’ve all been there, especially as new players. You’re chasing down an enemy Hero, desperately trying to secure the kill. They’re <i>so</i> low. You fire an ability, confident you can take them down. And you…miss?</p><p>One of the biggest hurdles in a MOBA like Predecessor is learning about attack range, which is crucial information in the heat of the moment. So, we’ve made it clearer, with bold outlines and text that tells you if you’re missing or just out of range. </p><img alt="Attack Indicators.gif" loading="lazy" width="800" height="450" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" style="color:transparent" src="https://downloads.ctfassets.net/rm5ymc69vmwz/dU22pjXzJPzG2RJJYtvIR/411977198a3a95411355a5fdf9294983/Attack_Indicators.gif?w=800&amp;fm=webp"/><h3 id="theres-plenty-more" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">There’s Plenty More</h3><p>On top of what we’ve already shared here, 1.0 includes many more improvements and additions for new players. We’ll be sharing more throughout the weeks as we lead up to our big launch, so keep an eye on our socials for more information.</p><h2 id="what-can-existing-players-expect" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">What can existing players expect?</h2><p>We’ve spoken a lot about new players and our various goals for 1.0, but what about existing players? We&#39;ve heard your feedback on wanting more options to spend Amber, along with functional updates to the map to allow more traversal over the hard to reach places. These updates will allow for much more verticality in higher level competitive play, and promote skill expression that we&#39;ve never seen before!</p><h3 id="purchasing-hero-affinity-and-bundles-with-amber" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">Purchasing Hero Affinity &amp; Bundles With Amber</h3><p>Got Amber to burn? You can finally use it to purchase Hero Affinities. But that’s not all, we’ve also added a couple of Bundles to the Store that you can also spend Amber on. </p><p>Additionally we’ll continue to expand the ways in which Amber can be utilised after 1.0, such as adding support for individual cosmetic purchases for Sprays and the like, once the Store is ready to support non-bundled cosmetic items.</p>

PRED Talk (Spring 2024)

<p>Hello,</p><p>Welcome to the third instalment of the Predecessor toxicity report!</p><p>For the first time, we’re saying hello to players on multiple platforms, as our PlayStation beta is currently ongoing! If you haven’t had a chance to try Predecessor on console, don’t miss your chance to check it out <a href="https://www.predecessorgame.com/play/playstation-beta-access" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><u>here</u></a>.</p><p>Because it has been a while since the last time we spoke about anti-toxicity measures, we appreciate that some of you might be confused about how exactly our system works, so below we&#39;re including a little refresher.</p><p>When setting out to tackle issues of toxicity, we have a three-pronged approach utilizing a mixture of automatic detection, AI chat moderation, and manual actioning.</p><h2 id="how-we-tackle-toxicity" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24">How we tackle toxicity</h2><h3 id="automatic-detection" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24"><b>Automatic Detection</b></h3><p>The first of our toxicity-mitigation measures is automated AFK and Draft Disconnection detection.  We use an escalating series of penalties for both AFK and Draft Disconnections, allowing us to be lenient for unexpected disconnections or life events, but with increasingly severe matchmaking bans for repeat offences. The goal of this system is to be a first line of defense to catch cases where a player was clearly and obviously contributing to a negative experience, either in draft or during a match.</p><h3 id="report-action" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24"><b>Report Action</b></h3><p>In addition to automatic detection, we also rely on the reports you make during matches to catch bad actors.  When a player is intentionally feeding the other team, is harassing other players in chat, or is otherwise making a clear effort to ruin the experience for everyone, please use the report feature! We collect and run your reports through a tool that allows us to identify and issue bans for the players that have clearly crossed the line. </p><p>Of course, we are careful about identifying the difference between a rough game and malicious trolling when handing out bans, and thus some may feel our punishments are too light at times. We hear your feedback, and we’re continuously evaluating report data as we try to find the best balance between shutting down trolls and troublemakers while sparing those that are otherwise doing their best but might have still been reported. We’re also planning to implement a “Thanks for Reporting!” feedback loop in the future to let you know when a player you’ve reported has been suspended, but that requires some custom tech that’s not available with the current tools we have. Soon™!</p><h3 id="chat-moderation" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24"><b>Chat Moderation</b></h3><p>The third pillar of our Toxicity Triangle is automatic chat moderation. To help keep chat civil, we use an AI-based tool called <a href="https://www.ggwp.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><u>GGWP</u></a>. GGWP is a natural language processing model that we’ve had specifically trained for the Predecessor game and community. Rather than feeding a list of bad words to a bot that would sanction everyone equally regardless of context and prior chat history, the AI actually assesses several things, including:</p><ul><li><p>The vocabulary used in the messages across 16 languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish and Vietnamese)</p></li><li><p>The tone of the conversation taking place</p></li><li><p>The chat history (both recent and extended) of all conversing members</p></li></ul><p>This allows us to take a more nuanced approach, allowing for swearing or a bit of a salty rant in the appropriate context, but with a focus on limiting targeted toxicity and harassment among players. This also means two players saying the same thing might see different results depending on context, reputation, and other circumstances fed into the AI. If a player only ever uses chat to trash talk others, the AI will be less merciful and penalties will escalate up to and including permanent chat suspension.</p><h2 id="what-difference-does-it-make" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24"><b>What difference does it make?</b></h2><p>97% of all players who have ever used in-game text chat have a “moderate” or better chat history, and only 9% of players have ever received any kind of persistent mute sanction. Those numbers may seem surprisingly good in a competitive MOBA, but in reality we’ve found that a few bad apples tend to have a really outsized influence on the tone and toxicity level of a match, which is why a tool like GGWP that allows for message moderation as it happens is so important.</p><p>There are exceptions, of course. Derogative and very offensive language like slurs will get you silenced immediately regardless of how good your reputation is. And it doesn’t matter who was being addressed, whether it was a real person or a character from the game - that sort of language has no place in Predecessor, period.</p><p>We get that everyone is only human. It’s acceptable to get a little worked up if a game isn’t going your way or you’re just not on the same page as your teammates sometimes, but everything that actually needs to be communicated in the game can be said without flaming your teammates or resorting to targeted or hurtful language.</p><h2 id="how-do-i-steer-clear-of-the-ai" class="scroll-mt-52 lg:scroll-mt-24"><b>How do I steer clear of the AI?</b></h2><ul><li><p>Use chat to communicate strategy and banter with other players - if you’re not in the mood to be nice, don’t say anything.</p></li><li><p>If someone is being toxic, report them and mute them.

For example, only about 2% of the longer chat suspensions we’ve checked were applied incorrectly.  The model does use a lower threshold (with a slightly lower accuracy) for a single-match mute to allow for quicker shutdown of potentially toxic messages, but those short mutes are not part of the longer escalating suspensions and do not have any associated account penalties.</p><p>Many of the adjustments we’ve made to the system since its launch have been because of the messages and potential corrections you’ve flagged for us. Your reports are a tremendous help as we continue to work with GGWP to refine the AI model over time, so keep them coming!  If you have any issues, feedback, or other suggestions, you can always reach out on Discord to members of the Omeda Community team (particularly yours truly, Omeda_Zuzu) or via a <a href="https://www.predecessorgame.com/support/request" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><u>support ticket</u></a>.</p><p>Finally, we can confirm that the much-requested feature, the ability to mute pings, is expected to arrive in V0.15! This should hopefully further improve your experience with the game. </p><div class="pg-separator"></div><p><b>-</b> <b>Omeda Zuzu</b> (Community Experience Manager) <br/><b>-</b> <b>JShredz </b>(Senior Game Ops Manager)</p>
