Well you can still use it, tht chnnel is gonna be empty once retail hits anywyz. Only a handfull of people bough this game XD

What is HoN?

No1: It isn't a MMORPG.

No2: No monthly fee, only a purchase fee of 30 US$

No3: Its a game similar to DOTA, DOTA isn't an mmorpg its a map mod or mod or w/e

No4: Most of the gameplay is similar to other online multiplayer games where you choose a server to host on or connect and play with people around the world.

No5: it has a range of different types of heroes to choose from. Each game can be different from the 1st.

No6: It isn't available yet, so don't ask when you can buy it. You can request for a beta key to play however they are very limited these days. Don't pay for a key just ask someone for a key.

No7: Is it fun ? YES!

No8: It is develop by S2 games, they have made other games called Savage & Savage 2. HoN is base on the same universe as those games.

No9: Dota creators are not involved with HoN however the permission to create this game have been given to S2 to make the game base on Dota. (No more arguments about this topic)

No10: Theres not much lag when you play, however connection depends on our ISP......


If you want more info or gameplay demos you can watch them on youtube. Search for my videos if you want something longer than the HoN Trailer.

Another example is pressing the F7 key and bring up the packets sent and received graph, it shows you what is happening to your connection and how steamyx coping with the server your playing on.


To make it simpler, packets are basicly every thing that you do in a match. From clicking on your hero to using a skill and purchasing items. Even when you fight you will notice how the graph flux up and down. Most of us who understand this wierd graph have notice that theres a huge increase in how many packets are sent to the server.

That means its causing a clog when its sending a packet = delay + lag. You will only notice it when your ping is around 400- 900. That means around 400 - 900 packets are stuck on your end b4 its sent to the server in 1 sec...

So having a lower ping ratio like 40 - 100 - 200 is very good. We won't have to watch how we play HoN like chess.

But lately due to streamyx suggesting they are upgrading (God only knows what) our ping has increased till 500 on bad days. I notice however around 12 am onwards, the ping can drop till 250 for USW servers.

Rofl Deimos is right, whoever is last to leave that channel will thn reset itself after that last person. The channel doesn't exist until someone goes into it anyways.


Lalaboy doesnt = sozaididi lol, hes got one account only that guy.

I feel your pain, thats why i spprt your idea for random players somehow lol.



But to be honest pubbie commnity in HoN is similar to Dota pubbie community like to complain nag, play like crap etc...

I bought my shield awhile ago however I doubt i will sell it away since I still fnd this game awesome. Even though pubbies are silly most of the time.

If you think about it, once open beta starts things will go from bad to worse...So i don't wanna be so hopefull about the open beta period. However regarding retail, thres alot more filters bein implemented into the game.

We can even host Pro only games now so maybe that would help as well. All in all you just get people who are worse than 8 year olds even after carefull filtering...it happens.

Atleast thres more control unlike Bnet.

The reason for thier silence is probably testing or maybe they will release another patch for your issue. This is close beta anyways so atleat you bothered to post your bug.

So as a tester just relax and wait for a fix, atleat your not the one whos working to find a solution.

Hes got no account in the 1st place so how can he pre purchase ?

Added on October 1, 2009, 9:51 pmYou need someone whos got some beta keys or you can wait till Open beta to play it. (Don't ask us here though cause theres a thread dedicated to releasing keys)

I got that email as well for the Val clan. Was kinda laughing when I read how it was also an error although thier system is getting better.

None of them even check this forum except for myself and I doubt val is reforming after the beta is over as almost the entire roster isn't thinking of buying this game.

Added on October 6, 2009, 4:40 pmDude, you need to learn how to read previous post by other members....All your questions are already answered in the previous post by Zeratos....not very difficult to find them. (Scroll slowly through this page)


However you can pay me 100 RM to get a beta key XD

This post has been edited by Leo3010: Oct 6 2009, 04:40 PM

To be honest, they all mostly said they don't have the cash to pre order...none of them work in the 1st place (not tht I know off anywyz) and they don't wanna purchase it as its 2 expensive (go figure)

---

Added on October 6, 2009, 7:59 pmMy suggestion is to check the specs for this game 1st, cause if your playing it like that you will just kill your laptop very slowly.

This post has been edited by Leo3010: Oct 6 2009, 07:59 PM

Well this isn't a company that has solid backing from a big name like EA, they are a private company so thier games may require more cash to develop (who knows). However there isn't anything wrong with pre ordering it now anyways if your planning to buy it later. (price is the same)

Then there might be the fact that they wanna estimate the number of players who will be playing this by the release date. It wouldn't feel great if maybe 4 people were playing this game by release....then they would think they have done something wrong. So having a Pre-order period helps out thier development further.

Thats what I see anyways.

Added on October 7, 2009, 11:42 amYup I knew that long long ago, its not a big deal for me. Not like having a clan matters kid. Val is a fun and recreation clan according to its leader. So is no big deal if it disbands I certainly don't care if it breaks apart...just make another if its a big deal.....thats what usually happens.

Like I stated in the other page. None of them (officers) except for me have bothered getting this game. If your frustrated about not being an officer or if you hate the current roster then you should ask to be one, its not like becoming a General in the military. If you don't like the clan you should have stayed away from the beginning, I was sure you left this clan about a few weeks ago cause you couldn't handle losing in a game I was playing with you.

and yeah its got bad management no doubt, I won't even try to defend it. But thats the point its just for fun. if you wanna be serious try out a Westerner clan that would be training to be in WCG. I certainly would support your choice.

lol, I'm enjoying the ranting here. Cant locate the Dow thread anywhere = =

Added on October 7, 2009, 12:07 pmDude, thats why I said its a fun and recreation clan. No matter how you wanna talk about dignity and all that. they wouldn't give a dam about it. Most of them don't even wanna continue playing this game. Like I said if your stress about it, theres always a leave option.

This post has been edited by Leo3010: Oct 7 2009, 12:07 PM

lol good question why the RAGE.....Theres always RAGE QUIT !!

Added on October 7, 2009, 4:08 pmOfcos I understnd, if not I wouldnt hav bothred answering that post.

Added on October 7, 2009, 4:09 pmWhere did you get the sig from ?

---

Added on October 7, 2009, 4:19 pmWell, I've already clearly stated what Val is. Its not a clan that cares alot about only wining. Thats the leader's choice and purpose for forming it. Some of thier players however play to win so yeah can't really say much about that. Every clan has a few who just play to win (for example Sozaididi) so yeah, hopefully its finnaly clear.

If you wanna talk about dignity and pride, Val isn't the clan that has that.

Thx gail

Hmm, I might end up not bothered about clans an all that cause I barely have enough time to go on. Althought i still just play with my friends maybe I would form my own 1 day when retail is out. Not making any promises so might as well ignore my statement.

Fathuntress, Might have seen that name somewhere b4...probably another idiot thinking that hes special and wans to be famous.....

I just looked at the Fathuntress dudes stats, His siggy on the HoN forums isn't real is it lol.

The stats don't show anything hes got on his siggy or maybe cause hes got 2 accounts....1 for Pwning noobs and another for owning the forums lol

Added on October 7, 2009, 8:15 pmBtw Gerb thx for posting that HoN thread, Had a good read and laugh about it later XD

---

Added on October 7, 2009, 11:13 pmlol, Just wanna add a post about me and Zeratos did in that thread Diehard posted earlier.

Its basicly a big topic now. Wondering if you guys agree with him and actually tell me what is true and false regards to his case.

However before I make a post, I'll explain the situation:

Fathuntress, believes that the current PSR system is being unfair. Due to the reason that theres a seperate ladder for all servers (thats what I can recall from his ranting)

So because of several different arguments later, me and Zeratos kinda entered into his heated debate.

You see in his latest post, hes speaking on behalf of all competive players (in malaysia) Thats what I think hes trying to talk about.

Anyways this is what was stated,

"im kinda embarrassed at how lowly you fellow Malaysians think but to be biasly put the blame on Streamyx(our ISP). I said we were able to play in JPN server only and that made sense. 200-300 ping to USWest is normal, please do have some knowledge of latency before you even come post here... by saying streamyx not comparable to 56k is stupid, i myself have hated streamyx for years but this is not the case right now, i am able to use streamyx at a smooth and stable speed. have u ever played Warcraft 3? now thats a perfect system that was crafted out of genius mind. I did not blame S2 for anything, im merely stating out how competetive players feel right now.


Supporting S2 or not is my own choice, i dont need another ass kisser to ask me to do what i want to do, buying or not is my choice. and all you 1500 should just stay out of this topic as you're not in the PSR thing at all.

The game was setup and clearly ideally to be played by every corner of the world by players all around the world which clearly failed. we often only play with the same region of people which is only USW and JPN.

This is why the PSR system isnt scaled to fairness

Zeratos this is why i call you a lowly malaysian ass kisser. As a company you dont ask your customer to pay you before you satisfy them, you create a product which seeks to exceed their expectation. If i dont plan on buying, why create such a fuss? and i dont even have to buy it now dont i ?


"if you feel like no one's joining a JPN server then migrate to the USW, USE or USC or EU(w/e)"


This is the most stupid thing to say ever, if you have nothing better to offer but mere sstupid kiddy statement, please, stay out of this 1500 psr boy.


Zeratos: you aint getting me, i am not complaining about ISP or lag. im complaining about regional PSR scaling for country to country and PSR isnt showing a true measurement. How would you like to measure the same thing Using different base?

Damn stupid Leo, dont even talk.

First of all, its not whether we support or purchase the game ornot, its that whether the game is worthy to be purchased or not. From trying to help S2 i get into this stupid discussio nwith stupid people who doesnt get it.

THE CURRENT PSR SYSTEM IS OKAY.
1800 in JPN is actually 2000 in USW.

GET IT?

NOT HAVING SEPERATE SERVERS, HAVING SEPERATE LADDER RANKINGS . LIKE BLIZZARD DID. OH MY GOD, S2 is doing the same mistake blizzard did like 10 year ago. jesus how did these ppl who reply me get so stupid. **** you, this is why i dont post in general discussion. f***ing noobs."

Well let me knw wht u guys think.

Funny that you mention this, cause now hes talkin about how Latency isn't an issue......Another person on the thread has just stated that fact to him...


Seriously hes an embarrasment to us malaysian players......even though we all complain about other random stuff. This guy.....hes got no clue now why hes talking....going off topic....picking up random irrelevant points to defend himself...bla bla....

Similar to a dog whos scared and corned.....
