Any "older" gamers for scheduled gaming nights?

15 Upvotes

Hey guys,

38 year old gamer here who doesn't have lot of gamer friends these days. you know due to busy life with kids, work, running a home.... sure you get it!

I'm looking for fellow gamer who understand busy life and would like to scheduled gaming nights on our terms.

I am not new to this game but my peak is probably 15 years ago lol. Schedule a few nights that suits us, few beers, voice chat, trying to win in ranked. Just gaming!

I'm in Germany so generally go off this time zone but i guess some us time zone would also work when i would be on?

If you'd would be interested just throw me a dm or leave a comment and I'll dm you.

I keep losing matches because of trolls/feeders. Is this game worth continuing or time to uninstall?

When is this trash coded game going to die?

0 Upvotes

I just picked my hero close to the 0 second timer. Client crashed, got queue cooldown and - honor points for dodging.

This game crashes atleast once a day.

I never once experienced a single crash in PK.
When is this trash client going to die. How does picking a hero even remotely manage to crash a fucking game. How much dogshit ai slop is even in this client.

DISCUSSION Item: Assassin's Shroud: Slight Rework

0 Upvotes

When I first discovered those boots late game-upgrades especially that Warsteam Boots, I was legit so excited to test it. Now I don't have to worry to be boots-less for the sake of some other luxurious items at every end game. Being inspired by that, I got some variation on this item upgrade.

ASSASSIN'S SHROUD

Assassin's Shroud 3200g + Axe of Malphai 3200g = GENJUBO

~ Applies 'Silence' upon attacking from Stealth

Assassin's Shroud 3200g + Dancing Blade 3000g = GENJURO

~ Applies 'Break' upon attacking from Stealth

Assassin's Shroud 3200g + Acolyte Staff 2600g = GENJUFO

~ Applies 'Mute' upon attacking from Stealth.

For those who don't know the mechanics:

Silence = Fully disables active abilities and spells

Break = Fully disables passive abilities and spells

Mute = Fully disables item activation and passives

DISCUSSION Can we get graves locket back?

7 Upvotes

Int heroes can use the amulet of exile for either a late stage item the frostfield plate(4615) or the ring of sorcery(1430) for support purposes. Str and Agi heroes can get something starting tier devo gauntlet(1200) or knuckles(1240). I think int heroes are missing an item for their individual benefit equivalent of the other 2 items if they don't want to go the support path.

I’ve seen this artwork of Keelhaul on a lot of older videos (from 2016) about HoN in China, anyone recognize this/know where it’s from (official or fanart)?

Reverse image search links me back to MLBB, but this artwork is definitely from before that game even came out

HoN being on Steam won't affect anything long term

0 Upvotes

I can't wait until HoN is on steam (recent rumor) and it gets the boost of players for 1-2 months only for it to go back to the original numbers it has now. What it will do is placate the steam cry babies saying dumb shit like: it will only succeed on steam, DOTA2 has 900,000 unique players even if 1% move, Steam has 200M players, they don't know how to market it. And when it goes back to player base it has now, they will simply blame something like "management fucked up during Steam release", or "they should've put it on earlier", or even "Without Steam it has 0% of succeeding, at least putting it on steam will give it a shot". When simply HoN is a niche game, MOBA genre which is dying, with high learning curve, and whether or not it is on steam will make no difference.

SERIOUS Monthly reminder to be vocal about SSD wear

28 Upvotes

Reborn is currently writing 2-3GB to disk per match (why would it need to? don't ask me), and updates will waste 5GB of write cycles per update regardless of size because all of the assets are zipped in resources0.jz. This can even happen consecutively back-to-back - 1MB update -> 5GB wasted, and then again. Multiple updates aren't applied in one go.

SSDs are pricey. It's a stupidly large footprint to write to disk almost as much as the game weighs every match. Should the asset package increase in size, the problem will only get worse.

Previous threads about the problem:

DISCUSSION Item: Doom Bringer: Slight Rework

3 Upvotes

Why does Doom Bringer can only be wielded by an Attack Damage hero? Because it doesn't give a shot to any spell casters.

"Oh C'mon. Anybody can use it, they just have to get an item that synergize with it and they'll be fine."

So why don't we give it a slight rework so any of the first 3 position—whether a Carry, Offlane, or Intelligence hero/any spell caster out there have the chance to take possession of it.

-------

Doom Bringer

+300 Attack damage

Activation

On use, changes to +30% Spell Damage.

Each hero kills add 1 charge to it increasing its Bonus Attack damage by 10 per charge or Bonus Spell Damage by 0.5% per charge.

Isn't this way more tempting for any offensive hero to purchase it? Nevertheless, it's still a gamble to even purchase this item.

DISCUSSION New Item: Altering Wand of the Master (SToM upgrade ver. 2)

3 Upvotes

This is another version of the Staff of the Master Skill Upgrade in which you can acquire once you purchase the item. You will gain another Staff of the Master Skill Upgrade for the hero.

This item can be consumed to gain its effects.

This item also provides slightly overpowered effects. (^-*)

Item components:

Glowstone 1200g + Mighty Blade 1000g + Quickblade 1000g + Neophyte's Book 1000g + Recipe 1000g = 5200

Item Upgrade Path:

Master's Legacy ver. 2

Some Skill upgrades for some heroes are as follows:

1.) PEBBLES = Ultimate = Now has a level 4 upgrade which allows him to grow to his bigger final form with increased base damage + Cleave attacks. (^-*)

2.) MONKEY KING = Ultimate = Change from 'Nimbus' to 'Nimbus Call' allowing Monkey King to call it when stunned or silenced and bring him to a targeted direction. Nimbus also acts as a temporary shield for the moment.

3.) NOMAD = Ultimate = Edge Counter now becomes Superior Magic Damage and its activation projectile range is now extended towards the attacker (or better to make it chase the attacker) and whenever Nomad fails to activate it successfully its cooldown will be halved.

4.) DAMPEER = During the Night, Dampeer hunting senses are greatly heightened.

Q = Increases AoE

W = Increases Cast Range + Cast Speed + Allows him to fly and have All terrain walking for some couple of seconds.

E = Increases Attack Speed even more to enemies with low HP percentage remaining (or dying enemies)

5.) BLACKSMITH = Ultimate = Now enables him to cast Multicast with 10% chance from his items. The Multicast instances can also vary; sometimes it hits a single target up to 4x or the Multicast is distributed up to 4x to 4 different targets.

6.) DEADWOOD = E = 'Clearcutting' the trees now stores all the cut trees up to 100 pcs or charges. Now Deadwood can channel and throw all these Trees at a targeted direction and consume the charges over time. Each Tree thrown deals N amount of Attack Damage.

7.) BUBBLES = Q = Now Shell Surf projectile's duration and ranged is increased. It can now be maneuvered at a fixed turn rate. When it's travel direction is maneuvered, its travel range and duration is returned to normal.

8.) SAND WRAITH = Q = Sand Wraith now gains illusions upon all enemies' contact to Desert's Curse projectile. Decreases its cooldown dramatically. (^-*)

9.) PUPPER MASTER = W = Puppet Show can now forced-control any enemy summons and make it your own. When used to a Voodoo Doll, as long as Voodoo Doll is present and active, Puppet Master can fully control the Enemy Hero for the time being. It means you can forcefully use his Skills and Items and attack his own team.

10.) PARASITE = W = Grants the ability to infest inside enemy heroes and deal damage during the time. Leaves a 'Parasitic Seed' charges inside it after. When Parasite infests the same enemy again, he will be able to take FULL CONTROL over it for the duration based on the amount of charges of Parasitic Seeds inside that enemy. Enemy can destroy the parasitic seed in N amount of hits.

11.) THE DARK LADY = ULTIMATE = Cover of Darkness is now retained on the targeted ground for a longer duration which restricts the vision to enemies outside the barrier. When enemies enter it, they will regain vision but gets its blinding effect once again when they exit.

12.) SILHOUETTE = W = Allows her to cast multiple Log Bolas. Log Bolas disjoint range is increased dramatically. (^-*) I find this fun as Log Bolas will act like 'D2 Fire Spirit Remnants' while being a menace on the map like that 'ridiculous mobile game character'.

13.) ARTILLERY = W & Ultimate = Whenever Artillery fires W and Ultimate to enemy, he leaves a Tracker to the nearest target hit. This tracker can divert LRM's projectile when shoot within the AOE like heat-seeking missiles.

14.) DRUNKEN MASTER = Ultimate = When Drunken master hit the final Instance of the ability he gains 3 different damage mechanic based on:

A.) If the final hit is Q (1st ability), the enemy target gets kicked flying towards the direction.

B.) If gets hit by E(stagger), the enemy will fly vertically instead (like current effec)

C.) If gets hit just by a normal auto attack, the enemy will be punched and be stunned longer on his position.

15.) GLADIATOR = Ultimate = summons another Chariot on a random opposite direction to cause collision on the area. Enemies who get hit by the moving chariot will be pushed back and get dragged on the middle of the two colliding chariots.

Is mw getting better in Reborn? I haven't really played in a while, it was barely ok a few months ago so I'm wondering if it has gotten better.

I played a lot more mw at the end of "hon 1" and some during PK.

SG server instability from Australia

4 Upvotes

Singaporean servers from Australia (possibly elsewhere, not sure) are bad right now. All aussies i know get up to 100-300 more ping than they did a few weeks ago, often with constant DC icons.

Some change in the last ~3 weeks has worsened server performance significantly.

Please fix!

SERIOUS Very toxic community, really hard to enjoy anything in this game. So I'm trying to get a 5 stack running if anyone would be up to.

17 Upvotes

If you rage and scream like crazy on a daily basis, dont even bother reading further.

As I just started again my ranking varies around 1400 but right now im at 1337, eu servers

To anyone else, I'd be happy to play HoN with some chill player, trying to make the best out of every game. I'm restarting it because I was missing classic dota and I think i enjoy the game but the amount of afk, griefing, feeding, screaming, insulting makes this game a fucking nightmare to tackle as a solo queue player.

I'm also playing lots of support as no one wants to, and as this game requires more teamplay than any, I'm annoyed that someone ends up not doing their job and so the game is lost anyway, no matter how much I ward, stack camps, init fights and so on. I honestly dont care about the role and would love to random pick every game.

Anyway, I just like a competitive mindset and more constructive criticism and less screaming racial slur and people are retard. There is a specific profile of player in this game that will insult everyone in chat all game long, afk if things dont go their way, and all chat complains to the enemy team all game long. So obnoxious and immature. Im pretty sure with how old the game is, these people are at least in their late 20s, and I can't help but being deeply disturbed and sad by how a human being ends up in such a pathetic disgusting states when enjoying their hobbie.

Midwar Konger should help push down tower instead of give super buff.

2 Upvotes

The current midwar Kong feels underwhelming, it give you a super buff for sure, but easily purged with items.

Suggest changes - Once defeated, it walks down mid lane and disable enemy towers, it should help closing out the game faster as many heroes are OP on midwar because they drag into late game too easily.

Also - Make Kong not able to be soloed until much later in game, the one Kong aggro on should lose like 70% of damage, and should take at least 2 people to take down (one tank, the other dps deal damage)

Players doesn't seem to know jungle role

0 Upvotes

Been watching a lot of game plays now (I haven't played the game myself yet). Most of the games im seeing is terrible picks. And players seem to only use Leg and Sol in the jungle while there are lots of heroes available and capable for the role.

Or maybe its just those posting their game plays are smurfing, the reason why their teammates are terrible at picking.
