Heroes of Newerth going open beta

655321 · 2010-04-01 00:25:29

I guess you all have heard of this great game with a native linux port, If you havent, its one of the hottest and most awaited games of the moment, so you should go ahead and great you copy now, just creat account and download

Would be nice also If the guys maintaining the arch-games repo should include this as well

Source: Heroes of Newerth Official Website

they twittered this:

And open beta is well.. open! Get your own Heroes of Newerth account on our site - http://www.heroesofnewerth.com - Let's see what you got! 37 minutes ago via web

Hope you like it

edit to clarify something: you DONT have to pay anything to play the beta, the form that open after you register its only if you want to prepurchase the game, you dont have to pay a peny to play open beta.

I'm kinda scared to see how many noobs are in game...

I'm kinda scared of how badly the noobs are treated in their first games

Yeah lots of noobs so treatment isnt bad at all. I played my first game yesterday and people where very helpfull (for a change).

But yes noobs get treated like crap in games all the time lol.

Heh, in my very first HoN game, I was told to never play again. Pretty loving folk, eh?

ngoonee · 2010-04-01 23:31:01

As a long-time player, I can state frankly that I flame noobs all the time . Its a competitive game, and one lousy player really messes things up. Thankfully due to PSR and other stats its rare that actual noobs play in my games.

If you're just starting out, look for a no-stats game with NOOBS ONLY or something like that. If people still flame you there ignore them. Just don't join my game with the red "Pro Only" sign =p

Getting flamed, and asked to never play again in 1300-rated games where it says "complete beginners only" ftw. Several times. Makes no sense. Quite loving folks, indeed It's fun to play with friends only though.

Well, games which say 'complete beginners only' shouldn't have flaming. Of course, due to the fact that stats are STILL awarded, I wouldn't be hopeful for the other 4 people in the team putting up with a noob tower-diving to get creep kils.

No-stats games are the way to go when learning. The new version even has a tutorial of sorts (never played it, so don't know how good it is). The learning curve for the game is STEEP though.

I played the tutorial, makes you understand the goal of the game and how to obtain items but thats it, not deep at all.

@ngoonee: do you know of any strategies/tips or some webpage to learn about the game?

Well, thanks for the info

It's pity I can't launch it, going to search why.

ngoonee · 2010-04-03 14:35:59

Works fine here. What happens if you start it from the tutorial?

And to learn to play it... just play it, listen to your teammates. Go through the 'Strategy' section of their forums, lots of people with way too much time giving illustrated guides (never really read them but some say they're very good for newbies).

Cr0k · 2010-04-03 19:48:30

I've go this error :
warning: The VAD has been replaced by a hack pending a complete rewrite
K2 - Fatal Error: Couldn't load vid_gl2

ngoonee · 2010-04-03 23:20:24

Video driver?

EDIT: Quick google gives this: http://hondevs.com/posts/linux-client-feedback-12

Please learn to google problems first.

You went to search, but then posted another post stating you had a certain problem, indicating that at the point of the 2nd post (which I replied to) you hadn't yet done the search.

In any case, hope it helped.
