Finding you really need to watch tower pushes. Without a glyph ala DotA, it makes it exceedingly easy to make really strong pushes and win out of nowhere.

Clan created, tag OCA since they don't allow 4 letter tags. Message the_enigma in game for an invite.

I got key from facebook just fine, are you sure you have checked the fan update on it? the key does NOT come via email initially. You have to visit the links provided on fan update and input your email there in order to send a key to your email.

I saw the facebook update and went and got my Beta key, only ended up playing 1 game last night but thoroughly enjoyed it, it was a bit more fast paced than normal DOTA (at least i thought anyway), i quite enjoyed the layout of the buttons.

The shop did confuse me at first, mainly because i would forget which item i was trying to get lol, i'm sure after a few more games i will figure out which items are where.

You don't have to do anything but put your email into the page linked a few posts above. Mine came to my email in seconds.

Played a few games, has it's ups and down. Very confusing trying to find items. Even more confusing trying to figure out what heroes you're up against!

Axe is nowhere near as fun. Skills don't always hit (axe ultimate for example) if you cast then within the range which is a big bummer for me - that was half the skill of the game.

ravescar · 4th August 2009, 10:31 AM

check the beta forum, there is a thread with list of item and their DOTA names.

EDIT: also a thread with all ported hero and their original DOTA name. some hero did got changed though.

Never had a problem with skills 'not hitting'. You may be used to playing dota with a ping of 50, however... whereas your ping to HoN will be much higher. The worst I had, was baiting a Juggernaut's (Now Swiftblade) omnislash, with the intention to use my lothars (now assasin's shroud) to stealth cancel it. Unfortunately his ult strikes so quickly now that my delay+the fade time on stealth meant he got 3 attacks in and killed me before I stealthed

US West give us pings of around 200
Other US servers around 250
JPN/EU servers 300+

Despite this, it still feels very responsive, and the pings are very stable, so it isn't too hard to compensate for. It doesn't spike at all, so once you get in the rythm its pretty smooth sailing

Been playing Axe the most, never had a problem with Ultimate not hitting, I actually play Axe better than i did in DoTA for some reason.

Can't put my finger on exactly why though, perhaps it is the key mapping.

Add me in game, name is ravescar
