Version 1.0.3

————-

Darkwood Vale

- Removed two neutral spawns, replaced them with outposts

- Replaced two of the higher tier neutral camps with tier 1 neutrals

- Outermost towers are now level 1 towers (instead of level 2)

* This means they will do slightly less damage and less starting health, same as the outer most towers on Caldavar

- Lowered building health on this map by 25%, lowered ranged rax health regeneration rate by 25% (these changes only affect the darkwood vale map)

- Moved some trees to allow better ward spots to cover runes

Ingame

- Players will no longer see trees die in fog

* Meaning, juking with Logger’s Hatchet / Runes of Blight is now much more fun!

* Homecoming Stone and Post Haste teleports you home

* Health Potions and Mana Potions are used on self

* Tablet of Command, Stormspirit, Charged Hammer, and Nullfire Blade are used on self

* Portal Key blink towards home

* Grace of the Nymph, Inner Light, Protective Charm, Camouflage, Nature’s Protection, Arcane Hide, Healing Wave, Cursed Shield, Fire Shield, Frenzy, and Focus Buffer are used on self

- Added new game interface option “Move To Spawn On Disconnect”

* When enabled, the server will automatically issue a move command to your hero to move back to base whenever you crash, freeze, or lose your internet connection

- Added new keybind: “Cancel And Hold Position”

* Functions exactly like “Hold Position”, except it also cancels animations

* Players who want this functionality can replace their current Hold keybinding with the new Cancel and Hold keybinding

- A unit in the air no longer gains the 25% “uphill miss chance” evasion

* Units stunned by Witch Slayer or Magmus or tossed by Pebbles won’t gain extra evasion

* Couriers and Tundra bird won’t gain extra evasion

- Health and Mana bars for heroes will now show the damage they take

* This new ’shadowed’ bar can be turned off in the options menu

- If the player drag-selects, and the current active control entity is not a hero, and the selection contains a hero, then the active control entity will become the first hero in the selection.

* This allows players to drag-select ophelia + her creeps and ALWAYS have Ophelia as active, regardless of the last active unit.

- Scorescreen now contains voting options (kick, pause, concede, remake) and add friend functionality

- The camera will no longer shake when an effect (such as homecoming stone) is played in fog

Pre-Game

- Added “Potential Hero Selection” functionality

* At the hero selection screen, you can right-click on any hero to make it your “Potential Hero”

* Spectators and anyone on your team can see your potential hero (the enemy team can’t)

* If you run out of time, you will select that hero rather than randoming

- Prevent the “5… 4… 3… 2… 1… Let’s get it on” countdown from happening after the hero selection screen

- Loading bar now courses with energy

- The game lobby will no longer display the message “PlayerName has connected.” once for their initial connection, and again when they have finished loading

* It will now say “PlayerName is connecting.” and “PlayerName has connected.” to distinguish the different events

- Set the max channel chat message (250), max game chat message (150), chat channel topic (140), and channel name length (30).

- Channel messages will only play sounds when receiving a message in the current channel that has focus

* This fixes all the sounds that used to play when a user was in multiple channels at the same time

- The channel name + topic area of the channel is now truncated off properly and no longer wraps off the panel onto the rest of the UI for long channel topics

- Added a hovertip to the channel name + topic so if the topic is 95+ chars, if you hover over it it displays the full topic, similar to how long game names work in the Public Game interface

HonSource ist weiterhin auf der Suche nach aktiven Castern und Streamern. Damit die Spiele auch von der Community für die Community präsentiert werden können werden fähige Leute gesucht, die als Zuschauer im Spiel das Ganze unterhaltsam übertragen können. Technisch ist alles soweit kein Problem, es fehlen nur die Freiwilligen um das Ganze in Gang zu bringen. Erfahrung wird in dem Bereich nicht benötigt, ledeglich Motivation und Zeit sind die Stichworte. Es wäre ein großer Schritt für die Community wenn ihr Zeit und Lust hättet ein Spiel kommentiert zu übertragen, weitere Informationen dazu findet ihr hier: http://honsource.de/wp/honsource-sucht-nach-unterstutzung/ unter Streamer/Caster, aber auch die anderen Berreiche sind noch unterbesetzt. Unterstützung für die Community wird immer gerne gesehen. Meldet euch dazu im Forum bei ramius.

Wie versprochen arbeitet das Team auch nach dem Release fleißig an weiteren Helden und Features, jeder Patch enthielt bis jetzt einen neuen Helden und nun soll der nächste kommen. Obwohl von dem Entwicklerteam bestätigt wurde, dass keine weiteren DotA Helden übernommen werden sollen, kam vor kurzem der Puck-Port “Bubbles” und es wurde vor dem Release darauf angespielt, dass der Beastmaster übernommen werden solle, ein Held mit 2 Pets. Zu der Fähigkeit 2 Mitstreiter beschwören zu können gibt es noch die Information, dass es Genker sein soll und Kraft als primäres Attribut besitzt. Alles lässt auf eine Art Beastmaster schließen. Wird dieser neue Held tatsächlich der vollständige Beastmaster-Port sein, wird es Änderungen geben oder wird das ein komplett neuer Held? Spekuliert darüber in unserem Forum!

Da nun enorm viele Fragen anstehen, erklärt sich S2 Games dazu berreit alle auftretenden Fragen zu beantworten, daher findet einen Tag nach dem Release, am Donnerstg den 13. Mai  um 22:00 CET in dem IRC-Channel #HoN im Quakenet eine Befragung statt. Jeder kann seine Fragen dort schreiben und wird auch direkt von dem Entwickler die Antworten bekommen. Also falls dies der Fall sein sollte, ab ins IRC in den Chat mit den Entwicklern. Dazu könnt ihr natürlich unseren eingebauten Java-Clienten benutzen und dann mit dem Command “/join #HoN” dem Channel beitreten.

Update

Nachdem das Q&A vorbei ist haben wir euch den kompletten Log in unser Forum kopiert. Die Vorstellung der Entwickler der Q&A Runde haben wir euch übersetzt:

S2Fielding
Hallo, mein Name ist James Fielding. Ich bin der leitende Designer von Heroes of Newerth. Das bedeutet grundsätzlich, dass ihr mich anschreit, wenn ein Held zu stark ist . Ich besetze auch die Stelle des Produzenten hier im Studio, helfe verschiedene Aufgaben abzuschließen und helfe bei der allgemeinen Entwicklungsrichtung des Spiels (obwohl wir alle ein Mitspracherecht haben, wenn es um die Entwicklungsrichtung geht).

s2jason
Hi, mein Name ist Jason Morales. Ich bin der führende Programmierer bei S2 Games. Das heißt grundsätzlich: Ich bring das Spiel zum laufen. Ich habe auch viel Zeit damit verbracht die Designer zu beraten (oder mit ihnen zu diskutieren)

s2Idejder
Hey, ich bin Alan und bin der andere Designer für HoN. Ich arbeite unter Fielding und rede hauptsächlich mehr mit der Community, scripte sehr viel, balace sehr häufig und entwickle neue Helden. James und ich arbeiten zusammen an allem in HoN… aber man kann trotzdem zu ihm gehen wenn etwas overpowered ist. HA!

Der Cup wird so ablaufen, dass zunächst Qualifikationen in einzelnen Gebieten stattfinden und dann die Top-Teams in den Kampf um die Krone gehen. Diese werden dann wie für einen World Cup typisch in Gruppen aufgeteilt (16 Gruppen mit jeweils 4 Teams) und tragen in diesen zunächst ihre Spiele aus. 2 Teams fliegen nach der Vorrunde raus und die restlichen 32 Teams spielen nach dem K.O.-System um die höchste Plazierung. Dabei wird das gesamte Turnier auf honcast übertragen und die Top-Spiele können dort jederzeit mitverfolgt werden. Welche Spiele dort gezeigt werden, wird über eine Abstimmung auf Gosugamers entschieden.

Die Registrierung beginnt am 19. Mai und endet am 1. Juni, also zögert nicht euch rechtzeitig anzumelden. Wie, wo und weitere Informationen kommen bald.
