Afternoon all,

Just curious if anyone plays Heroes of Newerth (Hon)...pretty much a standalone version of DotA with extra features, friends list, ladder etc.

As far as i know its still in Beta, but has attracted a BIG list of users already.

Was just curious if anyone one SAU plays it...

Peace!

massive dota fan, the only thing that stops me playing so much is wc3 is such an old game/engine

cant wait for hon let me know when release date is announced

BETA is available. It's pretty much where DOTA is at now. Hardly any bugs.

PM if you want an invite. Same goes for anyone else.

My username is JZA80

I'm still on the WC3 version, usually play with some mates a couple nights a week in USWest in between our ladder matches if we need a break our ladder matches are fairly intense at times - and dota is pretty mindless and amusing when you are just screwing around :blink:

I've been watching the Dev for HoN the past few months, looks really good. So good i'd pay for it - hopefully it comes over steam!

I know a heap of other online friends who've been slogging it out in the BETA and are really enjoying it so should be a good one.

Kez i'll chat to a couple of mates tonight and see if they want BETA keys. If they go i'll come as well.

Otherwise we'll just stick to USWest for now lol.

Yeah, head on over to HoN. The game play is fairly similar but the interface and hosting abilities is far superior. There's a ranking system, leaver protection, auto game balancing based ranking etc.

HoN is faster than dota.... Less lag/delay in general thanks to it being server based... Game replays are saved to the website automatically.

If you buy it now with the strong dollar you will get it for $30.... plus it gives you 5 invites for beta keys.

My only concern with HoN is while they steal the balancings for dota, some of their non-dota heroes are OP...

No kidding.

Scout, Puppet Master, even the newest hero Engineer is ridiculous.

Thought i would dig up my old HoN thread as i just started playing again and will add any sau'ers who play!

So hit me up with your users and/or just add Nismospec.

The game is f2p now which has it's ups and downs, but the game is still fantastic!

Thinking of starting up my own clan if i get enough interest!

Just wondering how many people are typically online these days? Have quit the game since F2P

Well considering DOTA 2 closed beta is in action, a lot of people are referring to that for instead of HoN.

I have 1500+hours of HoN played, but BF3 beta also just kicked in so no more HoN or Dota 2 for a while haha!

I dare say HoN will all but die in the ass when DoTA 2 is released. How can I get a key?

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
