MOD Regarding the "Paladins 2" fan project fundraiser

407 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 Where did this stigma about controller players being carried by aim assist even come from

17 Upvotes

Because I’m here to tell you that this aim assist is nowhere near as good as in any other game I’ve played. In fact, it’s terrible. Idk if it’s a PC only thing because I’m playing on console and maybe it’s different over there, but holy shit the bullshit I’ve heard about controller players being carried by aim assist and all that is just fascinating.

Trust me, if you’re getting diffed by controller players then the only explanation is that you’re dogshit because the difference between the two inputs is night and day, and not in favour of the controller. The aim system this game uses for controllers is nothing I have ever seen in any other game before, and it sucks.

CHAT Ranked paladins

3 Upvotes

Anyone willing to play ranked with me? Trying to get to a higher rank to get in those more fun/serious lobbies (master and diamond) but I get stuck with crappy teammates and drop like 4 ranks. I am solo queueing I play with others from time to time just now on when I play at times. Let me know down for casuals too!

CHAT So I just logged in to check this game after a LONG time and had a few questions

10 Upvotes
  1. Is ranked mode existent still or is it just pretty dead?

  2. What skins should I check on my account to see if I have any rare ones

  3. Why do you guys still play this game if question 1 is its pretty dead?

What was the point of giving everyone base kit heal reduction. Like it seems like healing in this game is legit pointless becuase healing gets nerfed half way through the game. It gets up to a point where grover and seris end up doing like 8hp per second which is awful lol

HELP What's the key to becoming a good flank?

18 Upvotes

I started to try to learn Maeve again and I know I'm kind of setting myself for failure here, because it's easier to start with Zhin probably... It's already hard to manage my abilities well to be able to survive and to learn Maeve's weapon enough, but that's something i can teach myself. Most importantly, I can't grasp what I'm supposed to be doing or how to approach fights. When do I engage, who should I target, when should I back off, etc... I get that every single match is unique and there isn't really a straight answer to any of this, but tips are appreciated anyway ahahaha or maybe coaching

16 Upvotes

I used to play a good chunk of Raum and Androxus, but Raum feels kinda underwhelming now. I also wanted to play VII, but he seems less good from what I recall.

I want to get into Omen, VII, and maybe some other characters, any suggestions or builds?

CHAT Should the community reverse engineer Paladins with AI, then make a Paladins 2?

0 Upvotes

I feel like this could be a worthwhile experiment if we have some passionate AI saavy people in the sub. If nothing else, I wonder you could reverse engineer to get the same mechanics, then use that to make the game in UE5 with better aesthetics and textures. I don't think you could sell it at all though, maybe take donations for the effort.
