HoN open beta soon, hurry!

Hehe... fixed my issues with playing the game - seems my AV decided to have a go at the app, which meant I had to sit and wait for roughly 20 minutes before the game would load. Anyway, that's sorted...

I see the latest version is 0.1.40. Anything significant that has changed?
 
well I don't see the difference between online and lan games really - both require multiple PC's, multiple accounts, and multiple log-ins.

thanx for the tip lunch....i'm gonna use that tonight!

Game stats will only be tracked in "Official games" (games with the green circle with a star in the games list, currently all of them =) ) on their official servers. So, LAN game stats are discarded.

It makes sense, because LAN games are wide open to abuse and cheating.

When you host you get the option to turn "stat track" on or off (the green circle with a strar in it). any one els hosting? I found I'm using the same amount of cap when hosting as when I'm just playing, about 15MB per game. Also saw i can't host on all the servers listed some give me the "need host privileges" :p Feel free to join if you see "_Ghost_'s Game" would like to play with some more SA players.
 
ah ok...

but the point of a clan isn't recruiting as many members as you can - we are currently 3 and don't just invite anyone.

your team really is only as good as your weakest member - especially in hon. if you are a feeder your team is gonna have a hard time babysitting you everytime you go Rambo
 
Ive been playing online and getting owned because I a noob, Ive been experiencing troubles though at times. My character getting stuck....maybe connection lag?


Edit: Quick question. Is the iGame Server up and running? and how is the server going to work? Will our ping still be 300-400? or will it be better?

Pings will be better, considering that the game will be hosted on a local server. So you will connect and register to an international sever when logging in, but when connecting to a game hosted on the local server, the connection is between yourself and the local server, meaning quicker response rates...

I just want sa people to play a game of hon together. not much of a clan for comp.
 
Yes, there's a problem with them. The local server is amazing (when it works...). HoN's superior netcode + 20ms ping is truly a thing of beauty.
 
is there anywhere i can still get a beta key??? rly wanna play :(

does ne1 have a spare? :)
 
i've been playing on the igame server! awesome - 97ms ping!

my buddy reckons for him it uses even less bandwidth now but im not too sure about that one - any of you guys tried it yet?
 
Lol. I think I played a game with the OP a few days ago. Nick looks familiar. Was playing on the local server earlier tonight, getting 95 - 100ms , haven't checked bandwidth usage though. I doubt it will make any difference.
