I will still work hard to develop and improve DotA on WC3 for everyone that is still interested in it.

HEAVILY based on DotA is right. I mean, LoL takes the concept of DotA but at least makes the game itself a little different... But by the looks of it, HoN takes DotA itself, slaps on shinier graphics and different names, and calls itself a new game.

I mean, the map itself is almost completely identical to DotA's, what with the Roshan-like creature being in the exact same position as DotA's roshan, neutral creep spawns in the forest, river separating two sides, secret/goblin shops in the same positions (I'm assuming the white dots are shops)... etc etc

I'm not gonna fully judge the game since I don't have hands-on experience with it, but seriously... Wtf? It looks like DotA with better graphics and different names/models/icons!

Why would we prefer Dota over HON if it's axactly the same game? Also is it free?

Oh, there's SO much more than you know....The only reason the map you see is familiar, is to give everyone a comfortable ol' stomping ground.
and that's just a beginning...
Have you gotten a beta invite yet?
PM me if you havent.
You'll see...

Elchuchu · 06-16-2009, 05:40 AM

OpMindcrime · 06-16-2009, 05:46 AM

I can't wait for the Damn NDA to lift.
NDAs suck donkey-dong

Well, I offered a Beta key to Sayan if he'll PM me
(I think he prolly deserves one for being the OP.)
I'm THINKING he'll take me up on that....which leaves me with 1 more right now.

Elchuchu · 06-16-2009, 05:47 AM

Hopefully they consider changing the map around...honestly I agree with the people who think it looks like way too much of a clone. It's like they copy pasted it from the world editor. But I haven't tried the game so maybe there is a lot of stuff that makes it unique, I kind of doubt it though.

Murs · 06-16-2009, 06:08 AM

oh no, an improved dota stand-alone!

those bastards, how could they try to improve dota!! not my dota!

give it a chance.

OpMindcrime · 06-16-2009, 06:10 AM
