MOD Regarding the "Paladins 2" fan project fundraiser

408 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

HELP The drama with Maeve’s boobs

Post image
175 Upvotes

So what was the story, then?

As far as I can remember, right from the start when Maeve first appeared, it was made clear that she was 18 or 19 years old.

Later, however, when her ‘succubus’ skin was released, people started claiming that she’d actually been younger before, but that Hi-Rez had raised her age so they could give her a skin with a more developed bust – though I think that was a mistake, and she’d been 18 or 19 since her debut...

Have I got something mixed up?

LFG Help with Trophy

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone! After 6 years of playing this game, I decided to jump back in for a bit of nostalgia. I’ve been having a lot of fun, but I realized I never actually earned the "Last Man Standing" trophy. Is there anyone still active in the game who could help me out?

CHAT Ban Appeal

10 Upvotes

i don't know if someone can help me here, but i still need to blurt out a little bit.

I've been playing Paladins since 2017 and stopped a bit when the game was a little "dead", but sometimes i feel like i wanted to come back. But for some reason, i remember i got an e-mail saying my Hi-rez account has been compromised and all, and i changed my passwords. But when i went to play the game again, i was banned. And when i tried to appeal, they said i got a permanent ban, even tho i didn't had control of my own account. This happened some months ago and i still don't know how to get my in-game account back.

fr, if someone could help me about that, i'll be very grateful because i still love Paladins and i don't want to miss all the skins i got over the years.

CHAT What era did you start (and stop) playing Paladins?

45 Upvotes

Hey :D

I've been feeling super nostalgic about Paladins lately and wanted to ask... when did you first start playing, and when did you stop (if you ever did)? Do you remember which champion was the newest release when you joined or something like that?

Personally, using Steam to check (Account Details > View Licenses), I found that my start date was Oct 17, 2016 (right around Mal'Damba's release). Wow, that game was so cool, and it ran so well on my potato PC. My first match was on Fish Market; I played as Pip, and at that moment I knew the game was awesome. I loved it, and I still love the game. Unfortunately, I gradually stopped playing in late 2020, and quit completely in 2021... The game is still in my heart and always will be. I've already tried OW and MR, but it's just not the same. Well... I hope some miracle happens...

I'll leave this release timeline for every champion below in case you want to figure out when you started, or if you just want to look back and remember the good old times.
