Afternoon all,

Just curious if anyone plays Heroes of Newerth (Hon)...pretty much a standalone version of DotA with extra features, friends list, ladder etc.

As far as i know its still in Beta, but has attracted a BIG list of users already.

Was just curious if anyone one SAU plays it...

Peace!

massive dota fan, the only thing that stops me playing so much is wc3 is such an old game/engine

cant wait for hon let me know when release date is announced

BETA is available. It's pretty much where DOTA is at now. Hardly any bugs.

PM if you want an invite. Same goes for anyone else.

My username is JZA80

I'm still on the WC3 version, usually play with some mates a couple nights a week in USWest in between our ladder matches if we need a break our ladder matches are fairly intense at times - and dota is pretty mindless and amusing when you are just screwing around :blink:

I've been watching the Dev for HoN the past few months, looks really good. So good i'd pay for it - hopefully it comes over steam!

I know a heap of other online friends who've been slogging it out in the BETA and are really enjoying it so should be a good one.

Kez i'll chat to a couple of mates tonight and see if they want BETA keys. If they go i'll come as well.

Otherwise we'll just stick to USWest for now lol.

Yeah, head on over to HoN. The game play is fairly similar but the interface and hosting abilities is far superior. There's a ranking system, leaver protection, auto game balancing based ranking etc.

HoN is faster than dota.... Less lag/delay in general thanks to it being server based... Game replays are saved to the website automatically.

If you buy it now with the strong dollar you will get it for $30.... plus it gives you 5 invites for beta keys.

My only concern with HoN is while they steal the balancings for dota, some of their non-dota heroes are OP...

No kidding.

Scout, Puppet Master, even the newest hero Engineer is ridiculous.

Thought i would dig up my old HoN thread as i just started playing again and will add any sau'ers who play!

So hit me up with your users and/or just add Nismospec.

The game is f2p now which has it's ups and downs, but the game is still fantastic!

Thinking of starting up my own clan if i get enough interest!

Just wondering how many people are typically online these days? Have quit the game since F2P

Well considering DOTA 2 closed beta is in action, a lot of people are referring to that for instead of HoN.

I have 1500+hours of HoN played, but BF3 beta also just kicked in so no more HoN or Dota 2 for a while haha!

I dare say HoN will all but die in the ass when DoTA 2 is released. How can I get a key?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
