Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Heroes of Newerth: Get yer game on.
Posts
I strongly suggest anyone who is new to play "No Stats" games first before diving into the real thing. This will allow you to learn w/o tanking your stats. Also this new "invite a friend to play 10 no stats games" means there are always people playing no stats games with "0" games played (because winning/losing a no stats game will not add to how many games you've played) Thus people won't kick you because you haven't played any games.
Once you begin to feel more comfortable with the game play and heroes then I would get your feet wet with stats games. New players who go straight to stats games, will almost always hear people "bitching" at them.
Since you no longer play and the OP isn't getting it's fair share of updates, would you be ok with shutting her down and allowing me to create a new OP?
:lol: Pretty funny that the OP didn't even really like the beta or buy the game.
I just played my first games with Bombardier over the weekend. He is a pretty fun hero, but his boom dust skill seems pretty shitty. (You have to cast it multiple times, you should just be able to cast it once and it will apply all charges)
And Moraxus seems really good from what I've seen, thought that might have to do with people not used to fighting him.
Let me tell you about Demon's Souls....
Yea, over my thanksgiving break I plan on piecing together a new OP.
And Moraxus is just that good. He will probably end up getting nerfed.
On a side note, this thread def. should get more attention than it does. We're always talking about HoN at work, so why not be able to read about it at the same time. That and penny arcade is like the only site that isn't blocked >.>
Moraxus is a great addition but he'll probably get a nerf soon from all the QQ pubbers out there. Also player base is about 40k at peak hours. If you like dota, just wait for dota 2. I mean obviously you're gonna like it more cause it's a straight up copy of dota.

That's kind of a misleading question.
Icefrog is still putting out new versions of dota on a regular basis, and that includes new heroes (there are well over 100 now). There's no reason most of them wouldn't get ported, and if he works on dota 2 the way he works on dota 1, then there will be new heroes quite regularly.
As for the future of wc3 dota, well it'll keep going as long as people still play it.
I'm not entirely sure how that was misleading but I wasn't aware of him still pumping out new heroes. Last ones I remember before I quit were the chieftain and bat rider I think.
I played lots of DOTA and now play lots of HON but I don't see myself going over to DOTA2 unless its far superior since I doubt they'll have a linux client. Not having to reboot to play a game is very convenient.
Let me tell you about Demon's Souls....
Not misleading in a bad way, just not quite the right one.
There have been at least half a dozen new heroes since TC and Batrider, plus a few remakes.
If Icefrog just ported the same amount of heroes hon has right now for the launch of dota 2, and then released a new port every week after that it would still take like 9 months to catch up to what wc3 dota has.

Maliken was one of my favorite Heros when I first started, now I tend to play more hard carries, or Moraxus, he's just too good!
Also, I haven't had time to create a new OP, I will try to get something together when the new interface drops.
I was expecting the hero to turn into Gyarados as his ult instead of a Murloc.

i was expecting some mudkips action.
it seems that S2 likes int carries. discuss.
"Time to make a SPLASH!", "I will ERODE you" etc etc
that makes me wet!
but seriously, yes, i totally expect it to be terrible.
Hon 2.0, it will introduce a 3v3 map – Grimms Crossing – interface improvements and matchmaking system and microtranzactions system will allow players to buy icons, flags, announcer packs or skins for heroes using HON coins .
It will also be available a Casual mode (I.E. = LoL mode), the rules differ from standard mode of play, such as the fact that a hero will not lose gold in the event of death or experience due to Deny.
Also hints of a map editor being released.
Maybe they will think about a price cut since they are introducing microtransactions! Fingers crossed.
I creamed my jeans when I read this. I could care less about the micro transactions, but TEAM MATCHMAKING!!! No more 15 minute downtimes finding games cause your group is considered a pub stomp. Gonna be awesome.
oh sweet irony.
