Yeah I suppose.

Second picture looks like Nature's Attendants, third picture looks like Impetus.

But yeah, could be anyone I guess.

I want a Furion port.

I've been playing League of Legends since August. I think it's an excellent DotA clone, though lately I've become a little bit bored because of the lack of features. So I would like to try out Heroes of Newerth. If anyone could spare me a beta key I'd really appreciate it.

Speculation suggests Enchantress.

@Jokab: it's a bug.

Yes I got trolled - I check the forums every now and then to see if there's any news to post here and got carried away.

I really haven't been playing much of HoN lately. Games too often end in frustration as people are awful and/or dumb and/or fucking retarded. I'll drop in for new patches though.

I'm listening to a live HoNCast and one of the S2 devs said that the next patch will include the new UI and matchmaking.

I think most people reason like this: high KDA -> long-time player.
Low KDR means nothing really if you're high level, since you could be a support hero player that goes in and suicides to save the team's carry

Is Andromeda a good hero to start off with? Despite owning the game for over 4 months, I haven't put much time into it. Because I'm a chicken.

I played a game over the weekend as Thunderbringer and ended up 6/6/6, but I'm still having trouble with items. And item binds (I have no idea how to make it more accessible or comfortable for me).

Join clan, hang around. The game sets you into the clan channel by default once you join, so it makes life easy.

It's so weird how there's less gaffers on SC2 than HoN online. I have never seen more than 7 gaffers online in one sitting with SC2.

how long has HoN been in beta and people on GAF sharing invites between each other?

SC2 beta only just started, and blizzard completely controls who gets in. we can't share invites around for that beta.

it's not surprising.

C'mon, leave that old cranky reskinned SC1 and get back to the real action!

Who is on the sc2 beta anyway? mint, ultrashed, sanjay?

I still can't find anyone to play with late at night (post 12am EST). Luckily I have some horrid PSR accounts I can fool around with... but I'd love to jump back into it with a few of our finest.

What I've found to be a problem with HoN... and even with DOTA (and this is personal)... is that the game sessions are simply too long. 30-45 minutes on average I'd say. That's a lot of time to invest in a single game. Sometimes I love it. Other times I wish things were quicker. This is coming from a loyal MMO player... ok... but there are times I wish I could play a quicker game and not look up and be shocked that an hour has passed by in the blink of an eye. I may be in the minority. I accept it ;)

i have my keys bound like this-
A - force attack (for denies)
my spells are W - E - R - T, my items are bound to F - D - S in slots 1, 2, 3. That works for me, but i am sure others have their own ways to do it. But if I didn't have my items bound to keys, I know it would affect my game.

True. SC2, quickest game I had was 4 minutes :D

The only HoN players I know who have SC2 are exodo5, Lone_Prodigy, arotator, and XenobladeX. But the only one I see online is arotator mostly..sigh.

Patchnotes are available for the next patch, for those who know where to look.

I would post, but the devs threatened certain death to those who would leak them.

Hmm I may jump onto HoN once patch comes out. But we know for sure it won't be Friday because that's just the test patch -_-

They need to nerf zephyr, not chronos. Zephyr - if you let him farm at all - is almost impossible to stop if the player is decent. I'd play more HoN guys but I've been busy with BF:BC2 and fucking Kings Bounty (holy shit this game is LONG). Maybe I'll get a few games in tonight, don't wanna get rusty.

Link? The only thing I'm seeing at the HoN boards is that the new UI/Tutorial/Matchmaking beta patch is coming out tomorrow.

They also didn't nerf Slither's stupid wards anywhere near as much as I'd hoped. Here's to hoping that what I saw was just a preliminary list.

Chair, you playing armored princess or the legend?

Couple of interesting things I ran into. All of them GREAT ideas, IMO, for when this finally goes retail.

Looks like we'll be seeing some new heroes... EVENTUALLY. Always fun.

And... apparently... nobody loves a "Log" anymore... ha.

Currently abusing his wards to push and take all towers asap, been working great. People try to take them out but after awhile they realize its futile.

I played a no-stats game the other day and got STOMPED by a super push strategy, though admittedly my team was probably pubstomp test cases.

The enemy core team had a tempest, Archer, and a Slither; the two others seems to be pub tack-ons that wasn't in on their plan. Basically we were slightly outlaned and a couple of minutes later they started pushing towers together before anyone was level 6. It was a skeleton/elemental/ward spamfest; we got dropped like a rock and lost our top tower 12 minutes in. :lol
