[QUOTE=Nelth;19270075]You can't destroy towers before the game began, they are invulnerable. Or if you mean "early" then it's possible.[/QUOTE] The first tower died before the creeps even got to it. We struck right as the horn sounded.

[QUOTE=Dudeman999;19276064]The first tower died before the creeps even got to it. We struck right as the horn sounded.[/QUOTE] That.

[QUOTE=elevator13;19306021]gg Booboo tanking[/QUOTE] Yeah for one tower. It was basically useless after that and we used the creeps.

Playing League of Legends while I wait for Heroes of Newerth to go into open beta.

[QUOTE=Lavatory <333;19429230]Surely something better than listening to Madman s wimp just before he catches his last breath.[/QUOTE] No, I hate playing against him :v: In fact, he was the first hero I tried.

[QUOTE=Omali;19438201]Playing League of Legends while I wait for Heroes of Newerth to go into open beta.[/QUOTE] You've missed two open invite days.

I tried out league of legends.. I was not amused

I tried it out as well, some of the heroes are fucking ridiculous.

My friend is amazingly addicted to this game, I'm not kidding it has taken over his life. He doesn't come outside and lives in his computer room. [i]Philip, R.I.P[/i]

I don't want to sound greedy, my friend is into this but doesn't have a beta key; if someone can offer one up PM me. It is not urgent but much kudos and respect if given.

3 invites post you/friend's emails

13 kills, 2 deaths as Witch Slayer. I was playing with Magebane, but he was playing like shit, so I was the carry at lvl 22, and he was lvl 13. I lol'd.

Patch is out. You can only view replays from this point onwards, not from games played prior to the replay patch.

[url]http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=64507[/url] You have to read it straight from source, it's brilliant. :v:

Cauterize is more overpowered than before? And the range for the shield was ridiculous before anyway.

Devourers new hook range is very very lame. Especially when you don't know it.

I think the hook range is good, because it means he doesn't have to get hook high so quickly, so he can level up his gas as well.

Woah a lot has changed, need to get back into this game ffs

Woah. This thread can't die at page 8. Anyways, I'm about to get on. If anyone wants to play, add Exposure or Scooots. I'll be on one of those two.

[QUOTE=pvt.meh;19649185]I thought you could pre-purchase to get into beta now?[/QUOTE] Not that I'm aware of. [editline]04:38AM[/editline] [quote] Version 0.1.65 -------------- General - Significant Lane Creep AI changes * These all involve the assist trigger that causes the creeps to aggro you when you attack an enemy hero: 1. When a hero causes the assist trigger to go off, there is a 200ms delay before the creeps will turn and come at you 2. Creeps will chase for exactly 1600ms (down from 1800ms) 3. If a creep is in the middle of an attack animation but has not hit its attack impact point (600ms), it will de-aggro and stop its attack as long as you are out of it's short melee range * AKA: Creeps will not finish attacks they start on you if they hit the end of the trigger 4. A creep must deal damage before it can be called by the assist trigger again * This means if you tug, they must turn around and actually deal damage to a unit before it can chase again 5. You must be within 600 units of an enemy hero to cause the assist trigger to go off - Added a stringtable entry for Meatball - Updated the ramps to be better - Fixed a bunch of inconsistent in game messages that showing the incorrect killer/victim colors * Legion is now Red and Hellbourne is now Green - Kongor now has unitwalking by default * This fixes the exploits that caused him to be trapped in his lair - Updated Russian Stringtables - Added a Patch Notes button in place of the Create Account button on the main screen * This was a Mod, thanks to Thread 65344 and Sephinator - vid_meshGPUDeform false now works (only for openGL) - Fixed a bug where the "No Leaver" flag wasn't reset at the end of matches * This was causing players to see a message saying they were unable to join a game because they had too many leaves when selecting a server that was previously setup with the "No Leaver" game option. - Fixed the Pre-Query Filter button so it saves it's settings again - Added an "Official" icon to the game lobby when games are official - Updated "Invite to game" functionality to display all relevant game information Items (4) Barbed Armor - Fixed to actually return 80% damage (was returning 75%) Sacrificial Stone - Gains 25 health per charge - Gains .25 health regen per charge Portal Key - Cooldown lowered by 4 seconds Puzzlebox - Recipe now has a stock of 3 to start, with a recharge time of 10 minutes per recipe Heroes (6) Blacksmith - Slow on Flaming Hammer increased to 15,20,25,30 (from 10,15,20,25) - Flaming Hammer lowers magic armor by 2,3,4,5 of anyone it is on - Frenzy buff gives 7,14,21,28% cast speed as well Darklady - Updated effects for all abilities.
