Expected Drakonids, instead got Argonians 😭

Let's be honest, Blizzard pulled the plug on Heroes back in December 2018 when it scrapped HGC at the last possible minute and moved most of its devs to other internal teams. Heroes is still one of my favorite Blizzard games, but no one wants to play a live game that is no longer supported by its developer. One can only hope Microsoft revives this project or outsources it to a different studio.

That 16K map is something I always wanted but never knew. Looks freaking amazing.

Edible Redcaps have a slow spawn and everyone needs 4. This will be difficult to complete if there is one more person in the mushroom enclave and a third person is game over. I recommend trying this in the middle of the night or early in the morning when most players are asleep or off to school/work.

Mail is automatically returned after 30 days if left unclaimed, or destroyed if no sender can be found (such as with AH mail). You can only extend this with the help of a GM. System or compromise restoration mail lasts 1 year. Either this other player kept the gold hostage while taking note of the original sender, or a bug caused the mail to survive this long.

The source makes no reference to this; while a reasonable assumption it remains speculation.

This is not new, has been the case since WoD.

AFAIK these (Gallywix) are actual high-end players who outsource their advertising to anyone looking to make some gold, which can be a little overwhelming unless you leave /2. The whole situation is a byproduct of boost-for-gold advertising being allowed on /2 due to the lack of a proper medium; I wouldn't necessarily blame the boosters, but the system.

I feel your pain </3

Sad day :<

I would never have played at a high enough competitive level for this to directly impact me as a player, but I will still miss having those references to aspire to. This change worries me because it pushes away the highest skill tier of players from Heroes, overall lowering the skill level of the game. With Heroes only ever having held a foothold in the MOBA genre, will the new competitive reality be enough for those who remain to retain an interest and ensure a healthy long-term community?

Blizzard already has a business model to deal with loot boxes (when linked to gambling) implemented in China, where you buy credits and loot boxes come as a bonus. If loot boxes as a whole are declared illegal, players from Belgium would sooner lose access to cosmetic items over the whole system being scrapped.
