woah you all play HoN, really need to know about all these NC farming?

I used to be a farmer like all of you, but then I took an arrow in the knee.

I start to play Casual Mode only, hardcore ganking, build arcane ring as early item.

For me, farming game is boring...

anyone still playing?
played 3 games today, wow, the toxicity is much lower than what ive seen in DoTA 2 nowadays.

i guess all toxic players already migrating to D2 eh?

wha game still alive? it's been a while since i left for D2 but i really miss some of the stuff in HoN.

how long need to Q for a game these days?

aah. it's harder a bit oso when i first started. need about a week to get used to.

man i still miss bramble, cthulhuphant, circe, dark lady, tarot, , empath, harkons, genjuro etc.

HoN got some really neat concepts. i'd honestly will still be playing if S2games didn't screw over paying players with their region restriction bullcrap.

haha but D2 nowadays really bring radical new changes. Something i used to love HoN for back when D2 stagnates and progresses super slowly from D1.

last time prefer playing US or JPN server. not much lag and the players are overall much better than SEA players.

that's ofc until they kaw2 enforce the region ban and i can no longer use proxy to bypass the restriction.

got a lot of skins and perks in my PAID Int account and when forced to play SEA server not only have to play without all of my hard-earned stuff, even hero need to buy.

that got me so mad. even until today hero pool still limited right?

It's a little more than just using real money to buy skins. I am one of those who were playing since beta and when the game was first launched it wasn't F2P and we need to pay USD30 for it. And then along with a lot of other paying SEA players we got shafted when gayrena came along and the regional lock was in place. Lots of early backers got pissed off by it and quit.

Yea i know can play for silver coin and do quests and whatnot but now we're torn on whether to spend them on heroes or skins and grinding them isn't exactly fun. I really can't accept the need to unlock heroes and let money/time limit a player's options especially in a game where counterpicking is important.

Well "beating" is mostly subjective. I loved hon because of their fast pace, awesome taunts and announcers, how they used to be comparatively progressive and change whatever unnecessary things leftover from dota. And they kinda pioneered the revolution of moba with much needed things like reconnect and replay feature.

Things i hate about HoN is everything gayrena, the inconsistent character design and model quality, newer heroes tend to be designed with a complete set capable of doing everything well, too many stuns, the "thaification" of stuff in game (man those thai announcers really gets on your nerves after a while), cosmetics starts to go crazy and fanservicey by the day, and once its under gayrena there's been much less progress other than minor tweaks and a buttload of skins. The game engine also started to get dated a bit. Also WHY THEY HAVE TO FUCKIN NERF AMUN RA TO USELESSNESS???

That being said now i remember more stuff. Really missed the hybrid dota heroes like scout and arachna. Forsaken archer, Moraxus. All nice heroes i wish dota have lol.

I'm not saying one game is better than the other or anything but im really bummed that HoN falls short to the potential it holds because of bad business decision. I really missed the days when HoN is still considered the top 3 MOBA and a serious contender to LoL and D2.

And it still kinda warms me inside that the game still survive and there's still someone here playing it

If i mention HoN to any other gamer outside i will surely be greeted with a "huh?". Keep the legacy alive man!

Btw how did u started playing HoN?

yea i oso got a feeling that there's too many heroes with stuns. i used to love using electrician but then no point using him since his grab will always get interrupted. yeah the game is still solid but imo it started to get a little stagnant. i've visited the forums and look around for the first time in a long while. seen some crazy stuff they're testing in the beta server such as removing PK and Kongor. What are the last few biggest changes in HoN?
