The Patch OB 44 of Paladins is now live and marks the beginning of Season 1. The patch came earlier than expected and causes some issues, Hi-Rez is working on a solution.
Earlier than expected, Patch OB 44 went live at Paladins. Actually, the recent changes to the patch were supposed to be tested on the PTR for a few more days. According to studio Hi-Rez, there were technical problems with the test server, which is why Patch OB 44 was launched earlier than planned.
Patch OB 44 is the start of Season 1 in Paladins.
Patch OB 44 comes with bugs, Hi-Rez is working on a hot-fix
However, the launch of OB 44 caused some problems. Players could not log in and reported bugs.
These problems are known:
- Radiant Chests sometimes do not give any Essence. As soon as there is a fix for this, players will receive the Essence they are entitled to.
- Survival mode has been temporarily removed from the game.
- Barik has been temporarily removed from the game.
- Radiant Chests for reaching certain Mastery levels were not delivered due to a large number of players. A hot-fix for this issue is supposed to be released today, allowing players to receive the missing chests.
- Some maps that have already been unlocked have disappeared for some players.
Studio Hi-Rez is currently working to fix the bugs and is asking its players for some patience. In a tweet, Hi-Rez Community Manager “Alyssa” announced a hot-fix.
With Patch OB 44, the new legendary cards come to Paladins, upgrading champions with powerful abilities. Each champion has three legendary cards available, one of which is already unlocked. The other two must be unlocked by players using the new currency Essence.
