Sooo... what does NOBA actually stand for? "Not Online Battle Arena"?
Who ever said it was a moba?

This is good for me, i usually suck at MOBA games.
[QUOTE=CLungcancer;40049967]Sooo... what does NOBA actually stand for? "Not Online Battle Arena"?[/QUOTE] You'd think that an article about how it's a NOBA instead of a MOBA might actually explain what the difference is. Silly notion though I guess.
[QUOTE=Alice3173;40051394]You'd think that an article about how it's a NOBA instead of a MOBA might actually explain what the difference is. Silly notion though I guess.[/QUOTE] It kinda is. It sounds like League of Legends "dominion" except you spawn at the capture points and the goal is to obtain all of them. The phrase NOBA is probably just complete nonsense but the gist of it according to the article is ->Capture points to spawn at, they come with minion spawners as well ->Attempt to capture all points so enemy team can't spawn anymore ->Eliminate enemy team before they can take a point to get back in the game it seems like a fun concept and I'll definitely check it out when it's released.
i'll check it out because BASED ARROWHEAD always makes mad funny and fun games like showdown effect. that shit's intense
I am so glad to hear that they're keeping friendly fire. It just wouldn't be Magicka without crying wizards.
I absolutely hate MOBAs but this looks like it could be amazing. Magicka's combat is probably the most fun of any game I've played in the last few years.
The term MOBA bothers the fuck out of me. I'm positive that it was invented and replaced the term, "DOTA-like" for marketing purposes.

[QUOTE=Wingedwizard;40055341]The term MOBA bothers the fuck out of me. I'm positive that it was invented and replaced the term, "DOTA-like" for marketing purposes.[/QUOTE] That's exactly right. Riot came up with it so people wouldn't call LoL "Dota-like".
