Yo we can play whatever game we fucking want. We're not going to sit around in hon IH's listening to you bitch nonstop just because you set your night aside to play and are feeding.
It almost feels that you like being told off or something, never there goes a game where I don't here from you spouting "I'm playing bad" "guys I keep dying, I'm so mad" "I'm going to sit in fountain" "lets CC" and everyone best tries to ignores it as no matter what we say it goes through deaf ears. But you keep harping on about it and then get a off the hand response this time from BMW, and your now like "Stop treating me like shit"
All the quotes above relates to this game.
Like MrMister you did your job. Highest assist kills check and fat carry Predator check. The soap drama you made sucked the living daylight out of Hon Gaf. We do IH to have fun and you sucked all the fun out with your melodrama for no reason and then you QQ and wonder why people called it a day for Hon.

C'mon guys, don't muck up the place like that. Talk it out on mumble or someshit when everyone's around so we can move past it as a group.
As far as the whole IH gaming stuff goes, I have to agree with FromTheFuture.. I enjoy them and I learn a lot from playing against all you higher skilled guys. If not from playing then from spectating. My only gripes with the IH games we do are when games get severely stacked/imba or when someone decides to throw/troll without so much as telling/indicating to his teammates that he intends to.
That being said, I hope I'm not the only one who wouldn't mind seeing stats turned on for IH games.. Would introduce a fairer way of balancing games out and would help normalize/quantify everyone's skill and/or skill gap. I remember everyone discussing it at some point and I'm just throwing it out there again.
it's not like we've got much longer and who even plays other games aside from TMM and IH?
Anyway blabbing aside, gotta say thanks to a bunch of you for the advice/tips you've given me thus far. Shoutouts to Haly, PK, Kag, Del, Alum, bzm, Pro, Anbokr, etc specifically. Hope when DOTA2 is out we still revisit this game every now and then for some laughs. I think HoN's too polished of a game to just throw away like that tbh, janky servers and heroes and all
Well, Sanjay, it doesn't help when about 3 of you in Mumble, after I say I'm making a conscious effort to not get mad last night, say your goal for the night is to make me 'salty'. And no matter what I do or say, being that this is the internet and can't see my body language and such, you will assume, even if I say I'm not 'salty', that I am 'salty'. It's becoming a vicious circle, and I'm ready to put it to a halt.

Is there actually a way to play against bots? I mean just me and my closest 3-4 bots against the evil bots.
I never played HoN or LoL but played a lot of Dota so thinking about getting Dota 2 and just want to remind myself how the game works.
And people said HoN > LoL in familiarity with Dota.

Stats on as of now then, we will call this Act the American Stats Con Act. Anyone against the This American Stats Con Act? speak now or forever hold your peace.

What the hell else are we going to say? were on the other team, killing an enemy is a goal and it was not for the night it was for that game. Whats funny is it was a joke, as you would not stop going on and on about how mad you were getting or about to get.

What you really need to do is halt your constant emoting towards others about yourself when it comes to anything negative, the negativity you put on your self does not help your team and your self. Were not even the ones saying negative things about you, you rally your self up to the point.
What do we do? ignore your negative emotions? which is rude? say yes to everything which is also rude. I think if you stop this overall you will see more enjoyment out of the game.
I'm going to try to hold this to you and see how it plans out. I'm going to cut you off Mumble faster then Kanye who by the way also happens to look like our very own Swag might I say.

Rejoining was mentioned by Icefrog as one of the top priority features.
Since the game is more or less "finished", the biggest change from DOTA to DOTA2 will be all these extra features like replays, livecasting support, streaming, reconnection, clan support, etc. That's what they're focusing their development time on, and there is no way in hell they'll ship it without reconnection.
That would be ideal, but probably not at the start. Icefrog isn't some magical coder that created some fancy network load balancing, or designed server infrastructure. He is the intimate owner of the DOTA map and knows all its intricacies. S2 is a tech company with decent infrastructure and engineers but their scope is so much smaller. HON has 50k concurrent players at maximum (a year or so after initial beta) while Valve will probably be aiming for 5 million concurrent players in the same time frame. The stress and limitations on the databases will not be just 1000 times bigger, wherein scaling hardware 1000x times will solve the problem. The actual increase in complexity will be several orders of magnitude higher.
Do you honestly think Valve will open its DB for public queries on a player stats and match repository containing 5 million plus players and billion plus games? A lot of HON is capable of is possible only because of the smaller pool. I trust Valve will throw their best minds at it but don't expect magic and rainbows.
I see what you're saying, kag, but it's not unprecedented for a large game to have robust statistics and access APIs. Specifically, Bungie.net supported some incredible online stats for Halos 2, 3, ODST, and Reach. If valve dedicated the resources to creating parity with the HoN stats servers, they could.

Too many levelheaded expectations for me, let me fix it.

Steam as a whole craps out when a theme TF2 update launches (back when peak concurrency was 20K). Imagine what'll happen with a game that has triple or more the amount of players online.
And replays. And stats tracking for millions of users.
anyone know wtf is happening? I can't move, I can't use my keyboard. Once every two minutes it allows me to click to move, then it doesn't work again. It is also stuck on this loading players shit.
This has happened to me every game I have tried to play so far.

Reinstall? I've got no idea.

5 million concurrent users is an impossibility. I'm expecting more along the lines of maximum 200k concurrent users at any point in the day. As a comparison TF2 has an average of about 40-60k concurrent users daily. But you are right - they'll need some bomb ass servers to handle the load.

Take a screenshot of the console when it pops up. try getting in touch with s2's helpdesk, they'll help you figure out what to fix.

Dont mention dota 2 to me, I'll figure something out.
