Bleh, I'm on a HUGE losing streak on (mostly) solo MM. The first time I get to try the Emerald Warden I'm against a fucking Devourer mid. Not even a particularly talented one, but one hook means death on this hero. No stun and no escape makes Dreavus really sad when he gets grabbed.
I should join the GAF guild.

Well, decided to reinstall just for kicks. I had accumulated 600 gold coins and 2200 silver coins over the past couple months just signing up for whatever promos they had going, without touching the game. Glad there's a half off sale on the in-game store right now, nagged quite a few skins.
Any way to set your 'default' skin?

HoN forums are going crazy with the BS avatar. Something something fraud something betrayal.

Spent like 2500 silver and all my gold coins (600) last night buying alt avatars, account icons, and stuff.

Different situation man, she's halfway around the world dealing with some family issues. We're not living in the same house like you and your wife are. That said, she's not a fan of me playing at all. When she's in town I have ZERO time for games.
Besides, I don't really have the stamina for all-nighters anymore, since I have to get up so early the next day for work. I'm making an exception for tonight though
Hello, HoN-gaf!
One of my friend is pushing heavily for me to join him in HoN. However, I wanted to inquire since I do not know the length of all the changes they made since beta ; is the game more accessible now with the new 2.0 patch? Is the community as hostile to newcomers?
Also, what can you buy with coins? I'm at the account-checkout screen now, and they're offering 3000 coins for 20 bucks or so, so let's say I want the Jon St.Jon announcer pack, how much does that cost? How much does anything cost? Is it even worth it?
Thanks for the guidance!
EDIT : Also, is there any current promo-code?

Anyone think Sol's Bulwark seems too cheap for the effects?
2. Community (pubs) are still as shitty as ever, but I really don't run into them anymore since I always play with GAF. There have been several community movements to help new users (but you should just play with us GAFfers, we're nice enough!)
3. As for coins, you can purchase cosmetics (skins, new announcers, etc). Gold coins must be bought while silver coins can be earned by playing MM.
1. 2.0 and (2.5 if you want to call it that) has made the game a lot more accessible. The shop has been completely revamped and there's a built in guide system telling new players how to play heroes (guides are custom created by players and can be voted on how good/poor a guide is). 2.0 also introduced functional MM (that basically everyone uses).Guesong said:Hello, HoN-gaf!
