Why would they? Only one who would care would be DotA author IceFrog who I hear was working with the HoN team anyway.
You are about to play a stand alone DotA based game. We have asked IceFrog if he had any objections to this and he did not, he is ok with it. Heroes of Newerth contains both content very similiar to DOTA and brand new content of S2 Games' creation.
We wanted to take a moment to share with you why it is very important you do not share this information with anyone, and to give some insight as to why we chose to create Heroes of Newerth:
1. At S2, we're huge fans of DOTA, and were pained to see how it was being held back on the warcraft 3 engine. DOTA style gameplay deserves a stand alone game so competition can be taken to the next level. As a MOD, DOTA faces many obstacles and boundaries that a stand alone title like Heroes of Newerth does not.
2. We also felt that the experience of playing and finding DOTA games online could use some drastic improvement. With HoN, there are many features and tools to make playing online (both with friends and by yourself) a much easier and more enjoyable experience. Your position as testers will help us perfect and fine tune these features, as well as allow us to see how they perform under various conditions.
Our first portion of testing is to see the installer in action on multiple system configurations and to test our Master Server & Chat Server with multiple game loads. Please keep your feedback accurate and concise.
You are free to communicate and discuss Heroes of Newerth publich, including forum discussions and talking to friends and family. However, the sharing of media relating to HoN (videos, screenshots) is prohibited and we'd kindly ask our testers not to disclose any game related media to those not actively in the Heroes of Newerth Beta.
We take the NDA very seriously. If you're in this beta, presumably it's to help us make HoN as successful as it can be. Part of that means not leaking media.
We hope you enjoy the beta and help us make HoN as awesome as it deserves to be!
Please direct any questions you may have to the beta forum.
With that said, thank you for helping us polish HoN and we look forward to all your input.
Thanks,
The S2 Team
Can anyone just tell me real quick how I send invites? My buddy and I want to play tonight.
Yea PM your email.
it depends a lot on how your team and the others is made up.
What's a counter you would use for Arachna? Arachna is usually god at ganking intelligence, most agility and strength classes early and mid game solo.
That can be said about anything. Yes you can win if your team is good.
There is a concept called tiers (see http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=12622, needs log-in) and most everyone agrees that the one hero that is always listed as god-tier is defiler.
Magic immunity is useless against defiler ulti because it is physical.
Arachna is a single-target dps hero that's easily countered by hard disablers. Succubus > Arachna
Um myndcrime.. the game isn't done yet, there are not enough hero counters in the game so some heroes will be pretty overpowered right now.
Nobody is forcing you to pay $30. Vote with your wallet.
also, votekick is seriously stupid. i got votekicked for playing around and voting to concede when we were winning.
the worst fucking community I've ever come across, because it's the battle.net community, but in a free (atm) game.
