Team Matchmaking

  • Find matches faster! Boasting arranged-team or solo play, this innovative and intuitive feature increases the efficiency of game creation by automatically gathering player statistics from a variety of group sizes, formulating teams, then matching those teams in as fair a manner as possible. With the ability to customize game mode, region, and map preferences, as well as group up with players on or off your friends list, the new Matchmaking will not only make it much faster to find a game of HoN, but also maximize the fairness and quality of the match.
  • Playing Matchmaking rewards you with valuable Goblin Coins! Check out the new end-game scorescreen function after a Matchmaking game.
  • Matchmaking will be disabled initially, we'll enable it when we're ready to begin public testing on it this week. Once enabled, expect it to have cycles of going up and down as we gather data, iterate, improve the algorithms, and fix any bugs.

Cosmetic Store

  • With goblin coin currency, which can be earned or bought, players can purchase in-game brag-worthy cosmetic upgrades. The micro-transaction based store, controlled by Merrick the goblin shopkeeper, lets players customize their experience without affecting game play or allowing the purchases to change the level of competition.

  • Cosmetic upgrades include:

    • Alternate hero avatars

    • Taunt

    • Account icons

    • Alternate announcer packs

    • Name color options.

    • Account Symbols[/list]

    New 3v3 Map: Grimm's Crossing

    • A new action-packed and exciting map that includes a two-way teleporter in the middle area, allowing for more innovative fighting strategies and tactics. Grimm's Crossing is a battlefield for the bloodthirsty. The terrain favors the cunning and aggressive, as hidden paths within the trees can provide a quick way to rout unsuspecting enemies. There is precious little territory to be contested over; battles are won and lost at frantic paces, often beginning and ending unexpectedly.

    • Features of the new map:

      • 2 lanes that are very close together

      • Only one set of towers outside of each base

      • Small, tightly packed map

      • Neutral creeps spawn only in the middle section of the map

      • No elevation at entrances into bases

      • 1 rune spawn location in the center

      • Towers' armor scales with number of players alive; Buildings have 100% of armor when all are alive, scaling to 0 armor when your entire team is dead. This is active if with both Casual and Normal mode on this map.

      • Twin teleporters for quick transit and fun surprises

      • It's a winter wonderland! Try the snow weather on this map![/list]

      New Game Mode: Casual Mode

      • This entirely new mode of play will provide new HoN players and casual gamers with a more “fun,” less punishing way to learn and play HoN. Elements in Casual Mode speed up progression and increase rewards in ways that remain true to the game's core identity, delivering a version that can be embraced by new and veteran players alike.

      • Changes from Normal Mode to Casual Mode are as follows:

        • Exp range from 1000 to 1300

        • Removed gold loss on death

        • Increased hero bounty
          ** Hero base gold bounty: from 200 to 300
          ** Hero gold bounty per level: from 5 to 10

        • First blood bonus: from 200 to 300

        • Gold bounty per streak: from 50 to 75

        • Hero assist gold totals 50% of kill amount, split between all assisters

        • Radius assist gold base: from 30 to 0

        • Radius assist gold per level: from 5 to 0

        • Respawn time per level from 4 seconds to 3 seconds

        • Denies no longer deny experience

        • Uphill miss chance removed

        • Creeps give 1.25x of average normal mode value, no gold fluctuation

        • Buildings give 1.5x of average normal mode value, no gold fluctuation

        • Towers give global experience when killed, even to dead people, (by tower level): 150,200,250,300

        • Tower last hit gold bounty: from 470,520,570,620 to 300,350,400,450

        • Tower Team gold bounty: from 200,240,280,320 to 300,350,400,450

        • The amount of experience required to reach the next level increases as the game goes on. This means that at the beginning, players level up a lot faster than in Normal Mode, but in the mid and late game they level up at about the same rate as in Normal Mode.

        • Buyback costs are at 1.75x normal mode values

        • Towers' armor scales with number of players alive; Buildings have 100% of armor when all are alive, scaling to 0 armor when your entire team is dead.[/list]

        New Interface Features

        • We have revamped the in-game interface to be more dynamic, informative, and efficient.

        • Enhancements include:

          • Advanced mini-map interaction. Try hovering over heroes, buildings, or wards!

          • Pull down tabs in the upper right for intuitive access to vote functions and game options

          • Graphic kill messages for feedback when you net a kill in the upper left.

          • A gold counter to see the breakdown of your gold earnings from different sources. Hover your mouse over your gold count to see the exact breakdown!

          • Experience range indicators to mark enemies within the experience gain range. You will notice a small purple diamond next a creep's health bar when you are in range and a purple diamond effect will play when they die if you got experience.

          • Context-sensitive pings to highlight the object and send out alert messages to allies. Try Alt+Clicking an ally, enemy, or building.

          • A hover-over inventory to allow for quicker inventory feedback on allies and enemies. Hover over an enemy to quickly see their inventory.[/list]

          BETA Map Editor

          • With the exact same tool that we used to make HoN, users can now create and edit maps for enhanced single-player experiences. Users who are inspired to create multi-player maps can submit their map designs to the HoN DREAM website for potential inclusion in HoN. Also, in conjunction with scripting manipulation, players can create their own custom modes.
          • This is still a BETA version of the Map Editor, and as such still has features to be added, polish to be done, and bugs to be fixed. Keep this in mind!
          • To open the editor, use the editor.bat file in your HoN directory or re-install the game and it will automatically add a shortcut to your start menu as well

          Weather Effects

          • A storm has arrived on Newerth with HoN 2.0 and it shows! Change the weather of the map you are in at any time through the Options menu and feel free to sing in the rain.

          • Players can set their preferred weather effect in the interface options or with a chat command. Right now we support "Rain" and "Snow". The default is "Off".

          • Chat commands are as follows:

            • /weather

            • /weather None

            • /weather Rain

            • /weather Snow[/list]

            • We included a text file with instructions on how to make your own weather effects in the HoN directory

            New Item: Spellshards

            • It's time for the magic users of Newerth to show their true power! With Spellshards, they can pierce the defenses of the enemy and burn them to a crisp that much faster.

            • The wielder's spells ignore a portion of their enemy's magic armor, causing increased magic damage.

            • After obtaining this item, the recipe may be re-purchased to upgrade it. Can be upgraded two additional times.

            • Components: Great Arcana (1675) + Recipe (1000)

              • 75% Mana Regeneration

              • Causes any Magic damage you deal to ignore 2/4/6 of your target's Magic Armor. This effect can never cause their magic armor to go below 0.[/list]

              • Note: The item "Trophy Belt" did not make it into this patch.

              Nemesis and Payback

              • Beat down an opponent hard enough and you will become their Nemesis! Be careful, though, for payback is sweet revenge.
              • A 'Nemesis' against an opponent is gained when you kill them 4 times in a row without them killing or assisting in a kill against you.
              • A 'Payback' is given when you kill or help kill your Nemesis.

              New Music

              • Newerth's citizens, every now and then, take the time away from the battlefield to learn new musical scores. They have brought us six new songs to encourage us in battle!

              • New songs:

                • The Missing Rune

                • Hope

                • Each map now has a custom music soundtrack that plays songs in a pre-determined order.

                • In addition, several music related bugs were fixed:

                  • Fixed music looping

                  • Fixed playlist looping

                  • Fixed music fade-out/fade-in

                  • When a music track is stopped, it defaults to fading out

                  • Music is now streamed rather than loaded upfront. This fixes an issue where lower-end computers would randomly hitch when the music switched.

                  • When a music track ends, its memory is now freed

                      Kaneas

                      Traducelo!!
                      xDD te imaginas? :P

                      Me lo leí entero antes y esta la verdad muy bien muchas cosas que han implementado.

                      Creo que ya no se guardan stats de los kill streak en publicas, será por los trameos. Pero antes no se guardaba de los MM asi que supongo que ahora será de los MM de las que se guarden los streak.

                      Por cierto, a ver cuando cojones le arreglan el ulti al gladiator para que deje de ser tan .. tan.

                      Lo del nemesis y payback tiene buenta pinta.

                      Lo demas parecen rebozadas y tal de cara e imagen que harán que lo cojamos con gusto ;)
                      Estoy pensando en reinstalar, viciar hoy y mañana y borrar... pero tengo miedo a recaer :/

                      Se nota el pod de la nymphora una burrada ... ademas cuando estas acostumbrado ya a los dos segundos, vas corriendo a curarte y no llegas nunca xD

                      #6 en mi opinion, buff para ir ofensivo, nerf para defensivo

                      hitsvil

                      Lo de nymphora es un nerf en toda regla, era mi héroe más jugado y ahora va a pasar a ser uno más sin duda, ya he jugado alguna partida y pffff

                      #7 el problema es ke te kitan mucho dmg del combo de stun + cura entonces pierdes bastante efectividad para ganks y eso, aunque yo lo prefiero asi, muchas veces la cura no llegaba ha tiempo ni aunque la tiraras al comienzo de la team fight

                      #9 cierto, por echas la heal y todo el equipo contrario sabe donde nukear xD

                      Ahora poca gente se subira solo stun en linea, lo cual es de agradecer.
