okay, i am after my first HoN game. 57min game in fact.

i am even more confused then i was after tuturial...

shop interface couldnt be more confusing... i was like WTF?! Q W E R then plans?

i have no idea what sort of character i played and what was his role in game. some mummy thing or pharaon... i just biult him more in to hp and tanky side. then just buying recomended or luxury items? i am telling you that fecking shop confused the **** out of me.

everything is sooooo fast. at one stage it was 5v5. i threw my green ball of ****. charged in with my R, then Q, then W for my zombie wall? all over in 5 seconds, they all dead, we all alive... i was like: WTF happened?!

i can tell you i was prety good at traping my own team mates with zombie wall...

the speed of game is just very fast, i ussually cant even understand wtf are we doing, are we running or chasing lol. at one stage i was chasing someone and he was running away for a wile till he just turned back and went on me. then i started runing away lol.

i now understand what you all mean about quiting after first game. i am confused as ****!

Haha , Aye Pharoah is a great initator so you tank him up usually

Its very fast, much faster then team fights in LoL.

Its just a case of learning the items and heroes like in LoL, Core is what is reccommended and Luxury is if you get the farm you might pick them up , kind of situational.

Add me if you want a game , notknown, i just set up the Boards TS server as well

No the reccommended items depends on situation / team make ups

When you first open the shop it opens a mini guide, if you can see, at the top of the guidethere is a drop down menu, anyone can make it and you can vote it up or down , so there are tons of mini guides with item / skill builds.

Cheers man. It will be awile until I log in. Fecking oc got array fault again so need to do a small diagnostics, which will take some time.

Ts you mean you got a channel in boards.ie for hon? Or separate server?

I have to warn you, I am totally **** in hon. Everything confuses me!

Funny enough I can call LoL = WoW and HoN = EQ2 so far. If you know what I mean.

Tar.Aldarion · 03-08-2011 11:45pm

Spunge · 04-08-2011 1:03am

Damn, now i want to re-install
Addiction here i come

ShadowHearth · 04-08-2011 8:04am

I went to team speak last night and no one was there. Only world of tanks freaks

.

So did one more game with pharo. Got called newb good few times. Almost all people were smurfs FFs. We won thought. I did good few grabs with my ulty too, which wiped the enemy team.

I am afraid to use anything else so far lol.

My ingame name shad0whearth ( with zero ). Add me, or let's organise some time for a game?

Aye sorry I was playing with some friends last night.

Keep playing Pharo ! He is a very powerful hero and an insta ban in almost all competitive matches ! All though he is hard to play to his full potential.

Some tips

Scout with your Global nuke before you ult
If you force attack the mummies in your mummy wall ( the same way you deny ) you will kill them in one hit allowing you to make an opening, everyone else has to hit them three times
Use this deny trick when being chased, to put up the mummy wall in a choke point, deny a mummy and continue on while the enemy team is stuck on the other side
Your first skill Hellfire mini stuns all around you and can cancel attack animations or channeling spells
Your Mummy wall pushes away enemies on the outside who try to get near, it also drains a lot of mana from them when they get pushed !!
If you are being ganked, you can hook into neutral or lane creeps to try escape
If you build Staff of the Master ( only a very very luxury item ) it boosts your ultimate so you can hook every 20 seconds, but also you can hook to friendly to escape

The ingame guides are usually fine in the beginning but this little set of guides is also quite nice if you want to read on a hero quickly before you pick it Prodex

Aye we must organize a night when we can get 5 people or 10 and do team matching making or play some practice scrims ! I look forward to facing Jazzy mid

Tar.Aldarion · 04-08-2011 3:58pm

that vent i use is available to all and often has hon on it, so does another irish vent. the games where we got 10 the other night were amazing, great fun

Seems a bit silly for HoN to bid that when competitions normally don't go that high anyways.
