    There goes the neighbourhood

    So a few days after the founder's pack gets advertised there's a lot more activity on these boards. Which is good, right? But also the angry jerk level is going up. Will probably eventually stabilise around the forum average.

    If you've just started posting here, welcome to the HoTS subforum. When the game was in tech alpha not many people posted here so it was remarkably civil, in accordance with the Law of Fan Jackassery.

    I really enjoyed hanging out here in recent weeks, let's try to keep that positive tone going until the game goes live or at least open beta yeah?

    Not saying let's not complain about anything, that's fine, but we can do that without putting on our +7 Asshat.

    Yes, please. This was the most civil forum section I've been in. Let's keep it this way.

    Yeah, I do hope the mostly friendly tone will stay, but according to what I'm seeing in-game... I doubt it will. Since the founder pack came I've had some quite nasty games where people were extremely rude for no reason at all, unfortunately this will start to translate to the forums in a while as well.

    Met a guy the other day who had bought Chen and one of the Luxoria bundles. He had no idea what a health globe was.

    I had a guy who tried to point out to me what a health globe was...the thing is I played with him many times and already known what they were. Pretty patronizing bastard.

    Illidan pushing top alone while we team fight at ship. No creeps in sight. Tanks the damn tower and dies with 11 coins. "Stupid noobs, where's my support"

    Ping left and mid packs in haunted mines (the 5 and 6 pack), three others run to the right to the some other pack. One continues to lane.
    Next mines two stay out and lane.

    Every.Dam.Pirate.Game. There is either a Illidan or Arthas with 10 to 17 coins and refuses for the love of fuck to hand them in or play reserved. They will rush the fuck out of towers, try 1 vs 3 people anything to get more coins and not hand them in. You end up following him around like a mad man desperately trying to keep them alive while you spam the living shit out of the map ping on the pirate.

    God forbid he dies, you either get endless rage or their team wins the lottery.

    Honestly for me, I want to turn them in but I am not going by my self, and the team is always god knows doing something else refusing to help turn in coins. My turn them in and risk that chance?

    On co-ops I have fun and just try to see how many coins I can rack up. :].

    It's frustrating, for sure. I noticed my first few games, I wasn't going to like HotS. I went to level 10 and haven't played since.

    Dare, I say, the game is TOO objective based and pushing is pointless without the objectives. Pushing and objectives need to be equal if this game is going to succeed. It needs to be explicitly stated that objectives > pushing in the game. The tutorial never gives that impression. Other MOBAs it's all about pushing AND objectives. Breaking from the norm without stating so, is what is going to drag this game from being great.

    There are some clear cut problems, and I might pick the game back up in a year. After some tuning and patches, but for right now this game isn't for me.

    I thought last free hero rotation was bad, but this one takes the cake. The amount of AA spec Tychuses, D spec Arthases, and WTF spec Kerrigans is unbelievable.

    Edit: forgot about the gargantuan Nazeebos.

    It is better...for some heroes. Like Azmodan can ignore objectives all he wants.

    I play hero league mostly, so I am not realty influenced by the rotation any more.

    I've seen far more griefing and afk since the founders pack was released than I had early on in the Alpha. Quite annoying.

    I love the people who try to tell you how to play the game when they themselves clearly have no idea what they are talking about. You can kinda tell the people who have been around since basically day 1 vs the people who have just started. They call certain heroes OP because they just don;t know how to counter them yet and call others weak because they have;t seen someone be good with them. I saw a guy flaming Abathur once for not going outside the walls and I just had to laugh lol

    I'm hoping the community doesn't become toxic but that is wishful thinking. So far my experience overall has been very positive with a few flamers but nowhere near other games.
