Heroes of Newerth Beta

It is likely that I will have more at that time, pm me your email and I'll get it done.

The visual appeal, and familiarity of bnet with this game makes it very cool. Individual matches take a very long time, though.

Obviously I don't want to go into detail here, but are you referring to the time it takes to find/start a game or the time required to play a game?  The former is just a product of the limited beta userbase and because you aren't playing at a peak time (yet).  Games usually take, on average, about 40-45 minutes for me but the average might be longer if you are playing a pickup game with less organization.  Way longer than a counterstrike match, about twice as long as an average WC3 ladder game, but way shorter than a MMORPG quest or something.

I'm looking at 60+ mins if I do a match.

I seem to die quite a bit :P

My playing times vary considerably, but I'll add all of you and keep an eye out.

No. I was talking about the length it takes to finish a match. Yea, it seems to be about 45-60 minutes. The lobby mechanics and stuff, I was blown away by. The game is very polished. I'm in the League of Legends beta, too. I won't comment on LoL much, but I will say that the pre-game stuff of HoN destroy LoL's.

Ya, I haven't played LoL since getting into the HoN beta :)

Blaze, I had a friend send you an invite.

[Blaze]

I got the email!  Thanks.  :)

People kept kicking me because I hadn't played a game yet, even in a noobs only game.  :(  No justice in this beta!

Lol, whats your IGN? I'll add you and host a game so you can play.

[Chavo]

Hilarious that you got kicked in a noobs only game.  Clearly someone wanted to stomp some putties without any putties on his own team.

When the Linux client comes out, I'd like an invite.
