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.

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.

      Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
