I just finally got my invite to this game, made by the same people who brought us Savage and Savage 2.

It's an online base battler. You get a top over view of a limited amount of the map, your character , and buildings. You don't build anything though, you just run around as your Hero and kill npcs and other players on the enemy team, all while trying to advance into the enemy base to destroy it.

Is anyone else playing this I could add to friend list for some possible matches?

This is just Dota without the Warcraft 3 engine. In that sense its a good game because it can tap into many potential opportunities that are limited within the WC3 engine. On the other hand it isn't as polished as Dota obviously with Dota's many revisions

Pretty much, but it is in beta still, so it has potential. Sort of why I like it a lot right now. Really addictive.

Play on the servers that say noob only. Sometimes it turns out to be a bunch of pros looking to own some noobs but that can be avoided by check every bodies stats before the game starts. If they all have a kill/death ratio >=1.0 then you'd probably want to avoid them. Once in a while there's a whiner who complains that his team is full of noobs but it's not hard to ignore them. Just play and let them nerd rage all over themselves. :p

The first few games I played I went in not knowing a single damn thing about this game. It could have been a My Little Pony game for all I knew. After getting owned badly my team mates told me to uninstall the game forever. :laugh:

HA, I'm getting that right now. I find it funny. I tell them to just shut it fatty and play the game.

If anyone has a spare invite, I have a friend who would like to join. Email is [email protected]

My name is LOC in HoN. I don't play much because of the utter hatred people have for people who don't know how to play DotA or how to do the PERFECT build. It's so stupid really.

The League of Legends community seems to be much more forgiving of new players, which is surprising really. But I dont like LoL all that much (the UI stinks imo) and HoN is a much more polished game overall. Plus it's updated like every 5 minutes lol

I'm a beta user and already pre-purchased. I love it. I also have a LOL (League of Legends) account and don't really like it as much. I feel like HON has a much better heroe selection and I feel like the balance in LOL is way off. People say that its easier to come back from losing in LOL but I feel that is more the case in HON. I think its really just preference. Either way I will probably play them both.

    • You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.

      The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
