I've been hoping but nope. I'd love to storm it up with ya bro

I got in a long time ago like in the first wave. It was fun and novel at first, but its got a long ways to go.
-
My mouse cursor is invisible. I guess its a known issue for 4K monitors right now. Guess I need to wait for them to patch that =/

I've got it installed but have yet to actually fire it up.

This is grade A++ first world problems right here.

Just got an invite to the Alpha, never played it, gonna check it out this weekend prolly.
-
Yeah I just noticed that my main account has access to it now, if anyone wants to show a new guy the ropes I'll try it out
-
I always fail to get invites to Blizzard stuff; everything else I get into.
I would love to play this with you. :(
-
I have one. I've played a few games.
I feel the game would be a lot more fun with a full premade team. With the shared experience, and no items, the team really needs to work together to secure objectives and keep from feeding. No one person can really be the hard carry.
My name on Battle.net is Sacratoy#1620 if anyone wants to play Heroes of the Storm or Hearthstone.
Edit:
Oh, I also play D3:RoS occasionally.
-
Downloading now :-X
-
played it some
no like
too easy, can't play all heroes, and cosmetics are too expensive
going back to playing dota
-
I got in, but I haven't been too compelled to play it since my initial attempt. LoL has too much going for it for me to not play it when I'm in the mood for dota type games.
-
So I was playing as Mauradin in a very back-and-forth match. Both teams had pushed to each other's core so it was just down to who wins the next fight. We are in their base and I score a quadra kill and get the Hero of the Storm buff, which I guess makes a duplicate golden you. Well we are bashing on their core and we all wipe which sucks because that's GG, but luckily my little golden boy was still chopping away at it and we won :D
Not super sure what's going on in this game, but that was fun.

so much for me....
downres to 1080p work?

After spending some time with it, I actually dig the game. It's basically a super casual MOBA which is I suppose attempting to appeal to the kind of people who would rather play ARAM then Ranked in League. As one of those people, I'm having fun but can completely see why it's a huge turn-off to dedicated MOBA players since it's so dumbed down. I think it's risky because MOBA games are one of the few genres where the more hardcore players gravitate, and I don't think HotS has what it takes to keep their attention much further than living out fantasy battles with their favorite Blizz characters. It also clearly shows Blizz's hand in catering more to a casual fanbase over the past few years where they think watered down design is streamlining.
But like I said, I still have fun with it. It seems like the kind of game you can pick up and play while you're waiting for your pizza or something - not anything people would take too seriously after a while.
-
I don't like how you don't have the full repertoire of heroes available to you from the get go.
That's just ugh.
-

It is bull**** that they conducting full priced micro transactions in an unreleased game. In fact, that's just disgusting.
-
Not sure I agree with the pricing, but we'll see if they decide to change things come Beta/Live. They're not aiming to do any more account wipes, though, so at least if you do unlock anything it should stay with you. No more refunds.
And I'm liking the game but I can easily see more hardcore MOBA players from LOL and DOTA2 not enjoying the playstyle.
-
Yes, and I really enjoy it. It's not nearly as intense as other moba's and the objectives are really fun. If anyone is down to play a few matches PM me.

Is this game supposed to be hard?
LETS PLAY GUYS!
-
Played a few games, kinda like it. As far as MOBA goes its like 10 times better than LoL and 5 times better than Dota2, simply because you dont need to do tons and tons and tons for reading about item builds and stuff. You can start having fun from the first moment you start playing.
Kinda sick of MOBS so like 5-6 games later I stopped. Kinda buggy but again its a Alpha/Beta so what do you expect
-
^plus the early battles is far more better than LoL, maps objective is also refreshing. Haven't experience any kind of bugs for me really except this current patch
currently rank 18 yoloqueue :confused:

At least no one was playing cheap-ass-built-for-n00bs-Nova
-
i can see the appeal for those knew to the arts genre but i think it's a terrible game. i've been playing dota for almost a decade tho so i'm slightly biased XD

Free illidian is not fun when all the illidans are on your team.
-
I rekt with Illidan before he was considered tier 1 :\
-
Wish I never sold my battle.net account. Really wanting to give this a go. Struggle to watch streams of it as I need to play it before understanding what is exactly going on on streams.

My waifu is strong as **** atm ...
-
I have it and while it is fun it does need a lot of work. Serious balance issues and team composition problems in quick match.
Anyways if anyone would be interested in playing with me just PM me to add you. :thumb:
-
I would love to play this with some GH homies!!!

-

Started playing this with an old friend the other day. Super insanely simple so its great to pick up a quick couple games after work. The whole unlocking heroes thing is complete **** though, makes me want to deal with the stress of DotA just so I can play the hero's I want to.

Does this run on starcraft 2?

I tried it a couple times..... Really wanted to like it but the lack of items really throw it off :(
I think dota2 is a much better designed game, the only thing Heroes of the Storm has going for it are the actual heroes. Gameplay is kinda.... Mehhh

It does actually.
