gimme ur account name!

linkeraj.. i'm not very good :)

i like it!

ql, sc/sc2, hon,

css, cod4, lol,

they made gotfrag.com for people like you

LOL

i bet you did!

The 3 worst games EVAR

(I dunno what lol means, but I'm guessing Licking Online Leprechauns)

That would be an awesome game, the name alone would make me play it.

League of legends, which I recently stopped playing (thank fuck)

I would indeed.

do it!

would be mildly interested

not overly

fuck off. moar dota.

i would read it and then troll the comments

this.

same

Is HoN that game which is WoW condensed into 60 minutes?

trololol

no, it's that game with teamplay, good interface, big playerbase and new content/things to explore

unlike quakelulz

and a low skill ceiling, obviously making it the perfect competitive game

is that so? i find it really hard

I find trackmania hard.

lol

oh and guitar hero too

would be great!

well, why not

why not cover it?
i dont want to waste my time with trolls only

well tbh i think most of the people who are interested in hon will already following coverage on another site and you wont be able to compete with a hon community site on your own here. but then again everything has to start from somewhere, maybe you should just do a few news post and see

true :) thx

Well that case why do we have starcraft covered here, surelly thats got more sites covering it

well starcraft is one number bigger than hon. so for someone with an interest in e-sports, sc2 news are relevant, while hon news arent. still i am not sure if it is worth the effort. but as long as there are people willing to do it, its good for esr. but the question was if doing hon coverage would be worth his time, not if it good for esr

Aren't 90% of SC players asian tho? and by that i mean SC1 yet ESR covered it

yep, why not cover it.

I personally don't enjoy hon/dota that much, well in fact i can have some fun, but to me it's far less interesting than quake/sc in the long term, but that's only my opinion anyway. I personally wouldn't mind some HoN coverage aswell. At least it could show me the popularity of the game, which is always interesting to know :).

ok thx

Wondered why there isnt any coverage either seeing how many q3 players are playing it

do it

is there an esreality channel in hon?

Don't, like I did you'll come to realise that these games are poison. You only have to look at the community to understand.

ye, I had kinda hoped getting retail would get rid of some of the whine.
I was so wrong.


Two days ago I got flamed from my own team for replying "gl hf" to "hf" from the other team. Apparantly, I am a noob, who should leave as soon as possible, for wishing the other team luck in a ranked game O.o

"Liam" was taken in league of legends and I didn't think I'd be playing it long so I went for "LiamHomoSex" instead, anyway 3 months later and I was still playing the game, I finally decided to quit after 2 games in a row where the best insult somebody could come up with was "fag"

This is a genuine quote:

LiamHomoSex: what makes you think i'm gay?????
Qlio: your name

He wasn't joking, or being ironic. I could tell from other things he said, he was just genuinely that dumb. Luckily I didn't end up playing with him on my team but these types of games are populated by people who are dumb because the only real skill in them is experience, there's no execution involved so it attracts dullards.

yes, I also find that the team with the most whiners usually losers. Especially when they are annoying to the point where I hope their hero dies every teamfight.
Not the best basis for playing as a team, I guess.

"Oh I could have stunned him and saved you? My bad, I am just playing like the noob you say I am."

and yes, that the insults are usually so uncreative makes it even worse.
some guy wrote like 4,5 lines on how noob I am, and the the climax of his outburst was "Your mom sucks."

WTF?

I did another experiment once too, I joined a queue and said "obama" and 3/4 people said "I didn't vote for him" or "what has he done now?"

The sad part is, I was just happy that for once I didn't have some FUCKING CHINK

what psr are you playing at? my experience is that retail is much better than beta

less new players in retail at least, thats for sure. i started playing very shortly before retail and i'm struggling to keep up now..

on ranked I started as beginner (hadn't played for 6 months, am noob anyway, etc.)

so I just got to 1470 or so.
on pubs it's around 1600.

the larger the community the more shitheads you will find. there are idiots everywhere, if you cant stand them you'll never be satisfied :D

i cant speak for LoL but HoN has a steep learning curve and on top of that one player can really ruin a team. in quake you just double the frags to make up for it but if you have a feeder that feeds a late-game hero it can be over at the 15 minute mark.. which makes people angry since stats and PSR are reglated by team not individually.. obviously K/D/XPM/GPM arent team regulated but win/loss is.

the best "community" i've ever played in was rtcw, but then again that was mostly older people playing... so my tip would be to play chess or something (oh wait LuLZ)

rtcw community was only great until ~2004 or so.
After that idiots started kickvoting people who played for objectives on publics...
Alse, I believe the friendly sounding voice chats did a small part for giving the game a nicer touch.

I guess the other problem with Hon is that the players get too much time to type when they are dead or walking back to base.

"I guess the other problem with Hon is that the players get too much time to type when they are dead or walking back to base."

agreed! i havnt really thought about that :)

so players should be muted 20 seconds after they are dead :D
or at least give a possibility to mute the chat of a given player.

Problem fixed.

F6, right-click nick, Ignore

cool, thanks!

problem is you wont get miss calls then :p

yes, but I will inform the other player I am about to ignore him.
If he doesn't stop, I don't care.

Also the whining players hardly ever call misses once they started their rants.

tru

sc community seems to be nice overall, tho teamliquid is a tad too nice though. rif you read through some of the threads, you get the impression they enjoy creaming over each others butts a bit too much

ahha true :D

Different class of idiots though. I don't mind someone being bad so long as they're not retarded. Like I was playing a game and I was 7/0, I ended up chasing 2 people, killed one then died and this fucking moron who was 0/11 said "what an idiot" to me. I didn't even mind that he was a feeding retard (at this point in the game I'm playing with people that have played at LEAST 200 games) but don't talk shit when you're abysmal.

These games are just designed for troglodytes, you will come to realise it at some point in the future... keep playing them, sure, but be careful about how much time you invest in them.

yeah either stop playing or stop caring about the noobs... each to their own i suppose... i won't let the morons ruin the game for me though :)

Was it Nekon ?

I have people calling me a retard cause I had more assists on pyro than kills. "With your ulti you should have tons of kills."...

Isn't all his shit AOE?

yes, you should get many assists easily, but saying I should have a high amount of kills or else I am retarded does not make much sense to me.

Except of course I would insist on saving my ulti until I get a certain kill, instead of using it right at the beginning.

If quake had as many players it would be the same, personally ive found it far better since retail

yah

quake filters some retards out as they don't like how actual skill translates into scores here, so if it had more players it would probably be because the same\only a bit higher percentage got involved out of a bigger pool, I think.

Here is a list of things i like about Hon:

But you posted nothing after it so-- oh i get it

Don't mess with me, i'm a black belt in wit-fu.

Is that why you are called the madbringer!

cause you bring it!

lulz

I didn't think anyone would figure it out. You, sir, are a worthy opponent.

he brought it

any irc channel oder game channel you guys are in?
