Have been playing Heroes of Newerth for 4years dy.

As for me, RTS is damn boring, it's a waiting game....

MOBA is more fun and entertaining.

Different people different taste, can't really say which genre is better

Anyway, for all those haters out there, they will still wait for this game regardless good or not

it is a fairly different game from most MOBAs, it felt more like DoW2 with one hero than Dota. Considering that they hired Johnny Ebbert who was the lead for DoW2.

The ragdolls are quite annoying where it felt like pillows being tossed around.

Hopefully they will go the Dota 2 route where they monetise via cosmetic items than asking people to pay for heroes and shit.
*
The reason DOTA 2 is earning is because they have community support to create items and also tournament tickets. I doubt their official products are earning much. Now if HotS were to follow this, then they will be copycat

Next is LoL, it is actually not earning a lot of money but they keep pumping in money to do tournaments because they're owned by Tencent in China. LoL monetization is too old already depending on cosmetics and exp boosts

I believe HotS will have another approach to earn money. Earning from hero = sure gg. Earning from cosmetics = low profit because it is only a 1 time thing, once you purchased that cosmetic you will have it permanent(well except they do duration cosmetic but doubt Blizzard will go this path)

The next MOBA titles have more monetization methods, just have to wait for the news smile.gif

Well.. if you didn't notice recent big backlash on Valve is on Halloween's Diretide event. Valve failed to communicate to their fans by keeping quite and the fans uproar and brought it even onto Volvo's twitter and Obama facebook. Damn such a bad portray of PC users.

But in all honesty i'm not sure why all PC community hails Gaben. I'm really not sure. Honestly where does DOTA 2 originated from? IF you asked me Gaben is a thief XD. It's originated from Warcraft 3 mod. In all seriousness, i think Activ/Bliz didnt see it coming from Gaben copyrighting the DOTA2.
*
Those DOTA2 players who asked for Diretide and affected innocent people like Volvo official page are the new dotards in gaming. It used to be DOTA 1 but i guess these people have moved on to DOTA 2

Blizzard also at fault they didn't hire Eul/Guinsoo/IceFrog earlier but i guess they learnt their mistake which is why they approached the guy making the Starcraft MMORPG and gave him their green light/sanction

I dont know but looking at Activision's newest F2P on mobile isnt comforting. It is literally pay2win.

I just dont know how they gonna pull a decent business model without resorting to all the shitty monetisation methods like pay2win,gataphon or massive grinding. It will be good if they go with a hybrid model but i doubt that will happen.

I just dont think F2P works in general, unless the game has tonnes of contents.
*
We can't deny Pay2Win exists in most game nowadays because that is the trend now sadly. Those Kuai Lo have at last learn from our Asian developers that Pay2Win is the fastest way to make money. Kuai Lo is good at making great online games but bad at making online games that earn a lot

Well, except they do a way for people to spend money continuously without affecting gameplay, then that is smart. They actually already have this concept in one of their Blizzard franchise game and let's see if they're smart enough to apply it in HotS

Thanks for sharing. This is really a letdown to me. Makes me think Blizzard is real lazy. What year are we living in? Those visuals look so dated.

IF anything, Blizzard put effort on was on the CGI trailer  doh.gif
*
It is in Gstar Korea now. We are not supposed to believe all these visuals because it might change during actual release. I think we learnt from Diablo 3 that the alpha footage is so different from actual release

Bought myself a D3 RoS lanyard and the T-Shirts are overpriced compared to Bliz Store

some CGI trailer that maybe TS can put on first page


funny things about this is Blizzard dont even need to cook up heroes ideas. they can copy directly (change the hero to Blizzard type) from dota1. and valve (dota2) cant do a thing about it as iirc in the map editor there's a clause stating that "all map created belong to blizz"

btw, am i the only one who thinks "Raynor will be the first to die tongue.gif"
*
Err, they don't need to copy from Dota1. Dota1 heroes are based on Warcraft 3 such as Furion

I was stunned for a few seconds sitting in front of my monitor when i logged in and listen to the music and admiring the cool UI/interface of the menu

Been very long since a game was able to awe me like that with just their menu lol

issit faster leveling using Abathur ? currently still testing each available heroes, so far Raynor and E.T.C is my fav, but from group play, i see lack of healer role. maybe might take up a healer and see how it rolls.

use my first 2k gold to buy Muradin..heh..should have save it and spend later on a much better hero.

No, Abathur is making me lose lol

Stealth heroes are quite difficult to play because you need proper timing when to decloak or else you gonna die damn fast once decloak
