Finaly, been waiting for this for over a year now! I can start playing DD2 seriously with my good old friend Series EV. Nicely done by keeping her almost same as she was too! Respect for you Trendy Entertainment!
+SkaTorch Unfortunate is, that the game is still in "pre-alpha" and yet you need to buy all of the heroes already. I still think they should sell it as a full-price title and include all the upcoming heroes (until Barbarian) at release. We can talk about DLCs after that, of course.
EazyE187um I've never paid a single penny on this game and I have all the heroes. Clearly you never played the game so don't hate on a game that you never played. Oh and your the bitch here.😊
RIP DunDef 2. When the buff beam was introduced in the last game, every new map and challenge rode upon the fact that the buff beam existed. There's no turning back now.
+Mark S yeah, buff beam was totally unneeded :/ reflect beams are pretty awesome anyways, the rest of her kit seemed interesting but i'm assuming she'll just be "build buff beams everywhere, maybe some reflect, screw the rest" would be awesome if somehow that wouldnt be the case, but i can't imagine buff beams being between either useless or too important :/
+Tomas Seph Sure, that's how EV started in Dungeon Defenders 1. I had many hours in the first one. Trust me when I say, EVERY winning build was including buff beams by the end when it came to the tougher content and newer maps. New characters are cool, but the buff beam is a bad addition IMO.
Mark S the same as the boost aura currently. Beam works different now, so it won't be as op as it was in dd1. And yes, mainstream builds will always include it because, well, minstream builds are.. mainstream. Because they're lazy builds. What matters in the end is how satisfying it is to play the content with any hero, any build (that makes sense, ofc).
+Tomas Seph Well there's a difference between mainstream and endgame. In DD1 there wasn't a choice. Regardless, I'm looking to the future. While my comment was more sarcastic, it was very true in DD1. I don't wanna see that happen here, but I have my doubts. Look at the direction the game is already going/has gone in it's short life time of being "released". Floating number damage is already spam-central. The attack speed of weapons is already super high. The list goes on. The number inflation will get out of hand, and balance of content and "choice" starts fleeting from the game, and so on and so forth. Obviously this becomes more of an issue for those that wanna play the game for more than just a casual, fun time, but it's the longevity of the game that I'm getting at here.
+legion160 She can make those with the nodes too! :D Given her Death From Above ability, she can truly BOB in and out of combat. And we still don't know her origin story, maybe she's from ROSSwell :P
This looks cool. Her DPS action looks fun. Those reflect walls would have come in handy against the Fire Mages. As a long time player, it's cool to see the DD1 characters returning; I am less excited to see the buff beam returning. As they learned with the buff aura, it's hard to balance. It's either too strong to ignore or it's so weak no one bothers. Lest we forget the lessons of DDE, when you add something so imbalanced it is hard to remove without protest. I'm assuming her introduction will lead to clusters of buffed archers instead of the current clusters of archers. I would rather see more emphasis on combos. I really enjoy shocking, freeze shattering, and setting minions on fire. All that said, I will get this character and see how it works out.
+Dungeon Defenders hopefully, dont make it to core again^^ though if you boost the old heroes, you also boost the buff power of the EV. Im looking forward to struggle with DU again^^
+Dungeon Defenders Any chance for a Level-wipe? With the new heroes and revamps to both the heroes as well as the strategic aspect of the game I think hosting a vote for a level-wipe wouldn't be all that bad, or at least worth considering together with the community. A full wipe would probably be a bit much by now though (and unecessary since it's not a technical reason/issue this time around). Of course - no need to respond to this comment since, well, publically discussing and announcing anything on RUclips might not be the way to go(unless it's not a secret) but please keep an open mind about it. :)
last time i tried it the focus was much more on player dmg. the towers i placed did very little dmg but i always pref. the "tower defense" part of the game. is it still very "player dmg" focused?
+Jhazzrun You can go full tower defense if you want. Obviously it will always be more optimal to have a damage builder, defense builder, and DPS character, but I can clear NM3 with just one hybrid Abyss Lord.
+Jhazzrun Not really, player damage is useful and makes the waves go quicker (and is essentially required for getting top gear) but once your builders have top gear, the only mobs you have to worry about are the diggers, malthius and his minis, and large air waves (some characters are better against air vs others)
+Hadron V Sorry to inform you but the gunwitch is next... and after that the lavamancer and after that the barbarian. But im sure they will be fun as well
Big report: on ps4 when playing split screen, second player can't access some of the shops namely the one where u buy the ability spheres and there was maybe a couple others but I forget but please trendy. FIX THIS ASAP
WHY the hell do they never show what bonus skin comes with the bundles....been searching for awhile and nothing...F***ing nothing, except 1, found which Dryad skin comes in the bundle...
didnt seem like their was any visual difference between weapons for EV2 i think it would be nice if the arm cannon changed, after all shes basically mega man but more robotic and female, so id be happy even if all she did was change color like mega man does, also, hope they come out with a mega man skin for her, would be awesome
The Abyss Lord was (and still is) a completely and utterly overpowered character compared to the basic characters, yet EV2 doesn't seem to follow that Pay2Win, however as the servers are currently down I cannot try that for real. The projectile shield looks like a must-have game-changer, as it will completely eliminate the issue with ranged enemies outranging your turrets. Not sure how the other abilities will perform, but my guess is that EV2 will be more of a rival for the dps-Huntress than an actually defense builder.
Spam! Got an email with a link to this video, claiming there will be a link at the end of the video to get the 200 defender medals ... there is NO LINK. Had to down vote due to false advertising.
+pmasher Yeah, just watching the trailer through the link in the email will get you your defender medals. Though, it can take a couple days from when they first send them out. Apparently it isn't automated, and they sift through it by hand.
The game is so much less fun playing solo, seen there is no party system to fix you with random people. 99% of the time you will get an empty level, playing solo. I really hope they will fix this before the game come out. Just unplayable as a solo player :(
Jeah so much for not bringing back old heroes from DD1 or "no new heroes before release of the game", first the lich now Series EV, thx for lieing to us for months and months and ignoring all feedback
She looks fantastic look forward to testing her on the battlefield.....however.....i will not be purchasing that skin.....dear god its hideous compared to her normal look
+OdaiNekromos And why did they sue them? Maybe they had a valid reason? Maybe wildcard did something wrong and suing them was the right thing to so? Gosh you people are so annoying "buhhh they did something totally legal for reasons I don't know, I totally hate them!!!!11"
Shuizid The wife of a ex-worker of Trendy founded wildcard and they sued wildcard because of it and claimed they would steal the customers and workers from them. And they forced him via contract not to not work for some years in the games industry after he left trendy (which is an really asshole thing to do) and they practically have no evidence that he did. They originaly wanted 400$ million from wildcard because of that... Trendy is known for harassing their workers mentaly and sexualy as well and forcing them to stay because they would not be able to work for many years because of their wierd contracts. Thats also the reason so many people left Trendy. If you still think im a little whiner because i know they threat their workers like shit then go on.
OdaiNekromos First off, do you have a proof for that? Then... let's see Trendy does bad stuff. Why don't use that as a reason, rather than just the one lawsuit, that might even be justified? Last time I checked, there were little info about what was the reasonig for the lawsuit and why both parties decided to settle it. And you are contradicting yourself, saying Trendy is on the one hand forcing people to stay but on the other hand, a lot of people would be leaving. What kind of "force" is that supposed to be, if people do the very thing, you claim they are prohibited from doing?
Shuizid It was all over the news and not only once, so there is enough proof of that, yes. Well imagine you are an artist, yes? and you work for company x and your contract says, if you leave the company you are not allowed to work as artist in any other company for 3 years... that pretty much prevents you from leaving the job right? Its not easy to get a job as designer if you only have qualifications as an artist, not everyone can say "fuck it i leave and do this other thing instead". (and that is exactly what they do) And that is the reason why trendy sued wildcard even tho it is the company of his wife and not his own. (they should have sued against the guy instead, but nooo greed and wierd american rules allow them to just sue them) There was even this news report once from a guy that worked at trendy he was so scared of beeing fired, he didnt even ask to get free because a family member died and he missed the funeral because of it. Thats how Trendy treats their workers.
+Tetrad20 That's because you are ignorant. If you knew anything about this, you'd know that "Trendy" is not suing them. You'd also know that Jeremy, the subject of the lawsuit, very clearly violated contractual agreements, is misogynistic, and tried to steal employees from Trendy.
+Brian Dovidio Personally I don't see how one game company suing another game company helps me as the consumer. Hence I don't care for it. Therefore I'll be voting with my wallet. The moment you said "Misogynistic", Your opinions became worthless to me, there is no possible way i can anymore imagine you have a rational mind on this subject or him as a person whatsoever. Go take your gender studies witch burning crusade to the safe space where people actually care what you think.
+Tetrad20 Hahaha. That was a pretty "rational" reply. So I guess being caught intentionally hiring women (back when he was able to do so during DD1) to intentionally pay them less because he could doesn't qualify as misogyny? I can easily see who has the rational mind here. Discriminatory hiring practices are a no-no. With your level of "rational thought" I sincerely hope your ability to vote, ends with your wallet.
Finaly, been waiting for this for over a year now! I can start playing DD2 seriously with my good old friend Series EV. Nicely done by keeping her almost same as she was too! Respect for you Trendy Entertainment!
wow, she's even better than I thought. Nice job!
Love the quality content you're releasing, Trendy. Keep up the amazing content :)
+SkaTorch Unfortunate is, that the game is still in "pre-alpha" and yet you need to buy all of the heroes already. I still think they should sell it as a full-price title and include all the upcoming heroes (until Barbarian) at release. We can talk about DLCs after that, of course.
+Skalli you can earn them just by playing
EazyE187um stfu
EazyE187um I've never paid a single penny on this game and I have all the heroes. Clearly you never played the game so don't hate on a game that you never played. Oh and your the bitch here.😊
Looks amazing guys!
Looks great! Well done guys. Looking forward to test her out!
That's came out wrong
well done trendy

would be awesome if somehow that wouldnt be the case, but i can't imagine buff beams being between either useless or too important :/
+Mark S her beams are different now.
Though, most builds will include them, but they won't be a necessity to complete a map:)
+Tomas Seph Sure, that's how EV started in Dungeon Defenders 1. I had many hours in the first one. Trust me when I say, EVERY winning build was including buff beams by the end when it came to the tougher content and newer maps. New characters are cool, but the buff beam is a bad addition IMO.

they changed how her towers work it seems, the last dev preview showed a few that where not here.
It's actually is pretty cool that those nodes are connected.
Reflect Beam was a bit useless in DD1.
Honeslty, I wish it costed 0 Defence Unit.
They FINALLY added the most awesome character of DD1 and DDE =D
Great job, but for the heal ability? I think it should be named recharge...
She looks OP, still waiting for The Abyss Lord on ps4...
What music is playing in the background and on the client? It's so catchy!
1:57 Just a lil anti climatic lol
Finally, reflection walls, sweet sweet reflection walls!
people here looks excited seeing her but i have a question how did you make an E letter on her nodes
I wonder if Titanium White was used on her new chassis.
+FoxeyeValkyrie Badum tss...Given her ability to make art with the nodes, probably :D
+Kaleb Glenn she just needs some happy little trees now XD
+legion160 She can make those with the nodes too! :D
Given her Death From Above ability, she can truly BOB in and out of combat. And we still don't know her origin story, maybe she's from ROSSwell :P
Titanium White?... RUINED
+FoxeyeValkyrie I believe you mean Titanium Hwite.
How much will they buff enimes?
Like this new character.
+Tensa “Imposter” Zangetsu New? she was in DD1 aswell :P
jiipo3 No I played through the first one. Just never cared for her. Plus I think I like this one better.
the defense is pretty much the same, but ofc there is alot more offense attacks from her
This looks cool. Her DPS action looks fun. Those reflect walls would have come in handy against the Fire Mages.
As a long time player, it's cool to see the DD1 characters returning; I am less excited to see the buff beam returning. As they learned with the buff aura, it's hard to balance. It's either too strong to ignore or it's so weak no one bothers. Lest we forget the lessons of DDE, when you add something so imbalanced it is hard to remove without protest.
I'm assuming her introduction will lead to clusters of buffed archers instead of the current clusters of archers. I would rather see more emphasis on combos. I really enjoy shocking, freeze shattering, and setting minions on fire.
All that said, I will get this character and see how it works out.
now we need Jester FeelsGoodMan
and RIP basic characters fully
+theflemishguy Our four original heroes are going to get revamped as we work on the upcoming Strategy Revamp. :D
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
+Dungeon Defenders THANK GOD
+Dungeon Defenders hopefully, dont make it to core again^^
though if you boost the old heroes, you also boost the buff power of the EV.
Im looking forward to struggle with DU again^^
+Dungeon Defenders Any chance for a Level-wipe? With the new heroes and revamps to both the heroes as well as the strategic aspect of the game I think hosting a vote for a level-wipe wouldn't be all that bad, or at least worth considering together with the community.

hey will there ever be pvp that will be awesome to put are skills to the test
Now my defender medals pls!
*FOR THE HORDE!!!!*
will theese new characters be free soon?
last time i tried it the focus was much more on player dmg. the towers i placed did very little dmg but i always pref. the "tower defense" part of the game. is it still very "player dmg" focused?
+Jhazzrun You can go full tower defense if you want. Obviously it will always be more optimal to have a damage builder, defense builder, and DPS character, but I can clear NM3 with just one hybrid Abyss Lord.

Niiiiiiiice, LOVING it!
so cool waiting for her!
Wait, so is dungeon defenders 2 officially released and not in beta anymore?
My only regret is you guys didn't open with the original EV release theme X3 Looks fancy, guess I'll be retrying DD2 and figuring out how to get her!
+Gratuitous Lurking buying her with cash OR grinding for hero medals to buy her. Whichever satisfies you most go for it :T
Looking good gang
Awesome work
I'm hoping for Barb next, after EV2. I loved Barb in DD1.
+Hadron V Sorry to inform you but the gunwitch is next... and after that the lavamancer and after that the barbarian. But im sure they will be fun as well
KingLazerChimp Don't start with "sorry to inform you". You're not. Lol.
And meh, I don't play DD2 much ATM anyways. I can wait.
Big report: on ps4 when playing split screen, second player can't access some of the shops namely the one where u buy the ability spheres and there was maybe a couple others but I forget but please trendy. FIX THIS ASAP
+noobinator6000 Post it on their forums
WHY the hell do they never show what bonus skin comes with the bundles....been searching for awhile and nothing...F***ing nothing, except 1, found which Dryad skin comes in the bundle...
Will it be on ps4
I thought there were only 4 characters to play as.
I've got her and boy was she worth's it!!! She awsome!
i love playing as her :)
so you ruined the summoner, but actually kinda did EV right?
They need to remake the summoner.
didnt seem like their was any visual difference between weapons for EV2 i think it would be nice if the arm cannon changed, after all shes basically mega man but more robotic and female, so id be happy even if all she did was change color like mega man does, also, hope they come out with a mega man skin for her, would be awesome
Her arm cannon does change color, based on the weapon she uses.
Looks like a character I would play. I'm an active player, being passive was never my thing.
where is the pvp yyet?
Let's go I can't wait till June for abyss lord it's to long
Dungeon defender 1 character add on but better awesome can't wait until this hits console hype😍😍
nice im rly happy gooooood job
Oh ev2 is legendary
how much Is this game
It’s free on steam, Xbox, and PlayStation
That's no waifu.
Well done with new class, but we begin to be bored now with all this crash, lag & long time loading :S really need work on this please
Finally!
there better be a bounty hunter skin for ev at some point. >:)
damn can't wait, good job ^^
oh man as if my minnions wasnt strong enough already now i can buff them o.0
Ev2 is so good
Is it on ps4?
in june we will get abyss lord don't know about ev
The Abyss Lord was (and still is) a completely and utterly overpowered character compared to the basic characters, yet EV2 doesn't seem to follow that Pay2Win, however as the servers are currently down I cannot try that for real.
The projectile shield looks like a must-have game-changer, as it will completely eliminate the issue with ranged enemies outranging your turrets. Not sure how the other abilities will perform, but my guess is that EV2 will be more of a rival for the dps-Huntress than an actually defense builder.
There is probably a Hero coming who cannot heal and has 4 abilities. :D
+Alius Lightbulb (THE) Probably the Barbarian. In the first game he didn't have any defenses, getting battle stances instead.
She is gonna be so broken!
Buff Beam Meta AGAIN?
Might as well skip on back to DD1 until DD2 catches up in 125 years time.
why 1,500 gems
?
NIIIICE.
when does ps4 get da stuff :D
... sooo, what happens, when she "OVERHEATS"? ö.Ö???
She cant use spells
Is she free to play?
wow OP
Op!
Spam! Got an email with a link to this video, claiming there will be a link at the end of the video to get the 200 defender medals ... there is NO LINK. Had to down vote due to false advertising.
+. Shannara It says watch the trailer FROM this link in the newsletter to get the 200 medals. Also they show up in your mailbox in game next week.
+pmasher Exactly
+. Shannara So it never said there'd be a link at the end of the video....
+pmasher Yeah, just watching the trailer through the link in the email will get you your defender medals. Though, it can take a couple days from when they first send them out. Apparently it isn't automated, and they sift through it by hand.
Shiny.
I call this EVA in wall e
Jesus Christ... what CAN'T she do?
+Curtis Dreams have real walls, kill air... i can go on... and dont say dps etc cuz hunt can do that too.
+legion160 Outplayed him ?
The game is so much less fun playing solo, seen there is no party system to fix you with random people. 99% of the time you will get an empty level, playing solo.
I really hope they will fix this before the game come out.
Just unplayable as a solo player :(
hey this game has less dislikes then cod infinite warfare
+Seth Kiesewetter Any game has that.

Jeah so much for not bringing back old heroes from DD1 or "no new heroes before release of the game", first the lich now Series EV, thx for lieing to us for months and months and ignoring all feedback
i hope you don't have to spend medals to buy her :/
+Natayla 12,000 medals for the first two weeks, 10,000 medals after that...
It's going to be a long month.
She looks fantastic look forward to testing her on the battlefield.....however.....i will not be purchasing that skin.....dear god its hideous compared to her normal look
+DJBr0k3nR3c0rd I will never give them any money again, they sued wildcard for 40$million they have enough now these *****
+OdaiNekromos And why did they sue them? Maybe they had a valid reason? Maybe wildcard did something wrong and suing them was the right thing to so? Gosh you people are so annoying "buhhh they did something totally legal for reasons I don't know, I totally hate them!!!!11"

I just don't care about this company or game anymore after they sued Ark.
+Tetrad20 That's because you are ignorant. If you knew anything about this, you'd know that "Trendy" is not suing them. You'd also know that Jeremy, the subject of the lawsuit, very clearly violated contractual agreements, is misogynistic, and tried to steal employees from Trendy.

Punishment would mean I did something to them, all I've done is "left the room."
Is trendy entitled to my presence?
with that update the game stopped to recognize steam, and it wont works without steam, so it's impossible to play. Critical failure, game is dead...
Worldowner 7 months later the game is still alive....
Well, this doesn't look OP. Not OP at all...
caracter ruining the spirit of the game. It's not sci-fi, it's Dungeon Defenders...
Character *
+Sayreul1976 she was in dungeon defenders 1 and eternity.... sooo yeah.
What a broken character
cool character with ugly design
dont like robots
