First chunk of 1.18

First, I’d like to explain the long wait for it.
Making of 1.18 (as a major version) started as late as december, mostly because we decided to wait and see how 1.17 would affect the ways people play this game. The discussions on what should be done and what shouldn’t took a big chunk of the last 3 months - which is making sure that we’re going on the right direction. Still, what is stealing the last 3 weeks (and the upcoming 2) is the exam period I have, which is why I’m sorry to say I don’t have any set date on when this thing will finally come out.

As always, a number of concerns popped up - but 1.18 as of right now seems set to change the following:
- further fix the imbalances between powers, passives and items
- mix things up with a fresh pack of heroes
- set things right with the way players gain gold
And the thing that seems to eat most of the time,
- completely revise the way creeps, towers, and neutral units such as SK and the ogres work.

Starting from the next version, creeps and towers will be relatively competent until the very end of the game. The intention is not to make this game about the creeps, but to make the players see the poor things as a bit more than just walking pots of gold - it will be preferable to stay with your creeps and not walk ahead of the way.

More detail in my next news.

About GHosts hosting HoSK

After a period of all bots being down I’ve been trying to get some information and best ways out of the situation. Here is what I have come up with until now :

1 - Stardragon is hoping to replace his router withing the coming month and then could set his bot up again if needed.

2 - A 100MB internet VPS located in Washington DC. This would although cost around 10Dollars per month.

So please, give feedback.

HoSK King of the Hill system?

Today Lisa had an interesting idea. Perhaps instead of ladders and stuff, we should use the King of the Hill ssytem? Basically it would have Seats from 1-10, everyone seated on any position can challenge the one who is one seat better than him, and be challenged by the one on a lower seat. The rules would be these - Challenge must be accepted (time and date arranged by them), and the match modes shall be called by the one who is challenged. I mean, if this would work I could ask if Tom has enough time to make the Seat Position be shown in posts under Avatar Picture in some way. Like ”HoSK King of the Hill Nr.#” But this can still be thought of later. Now the question is, would people actually like this? Every now and then there would also be ladders, and the prize for the winner would be the right to challenge the 10th of the Seats (Could rename this better, give some Honorary name like the Knights of the Round Table was in Camelot xD!). But if the winner of the ladder is already among those 10 it’d give him/her the right to challenge anyone. In case of a defeat nothing happens, but in case of victory he/she shall instantly move to the challenged ones’ seat.

Please give feedback to Lisa or myself.

Long live us folks :)!
