Hey. I was playing a fine game, and then I see this message. I have posted the screenshot. Obviously the intent was to cause people to leave, thinking they had already conceded. I have outlined the other vote that was in progress, making a concession impossible at that point. I have also underlined the user who would be responsible, assuming this was a chat macro of some kind and not a console command that anyone could have used.

I would hope that A. It become impossible to broadcast such deceptive messages, and that B. If it can be determined which account was responsible for this particular message, that the account be suspended or, as I think would be most appropriate, banned.

As a side note, the clan members which teal was playing with seemed to be familiar with that particular message, and teal was quick to say he would be able to get a new key from his clan makes without a problem even if I were to report him, as I am doing now. It may be appropriate to contact the other clan members involved and warn them against such abusive behavior.

Thank you for providing such an entertaining and rich gaming experience with HoN. All the best.

Interesting, although hard to reproduce, tried it in a practice game using spaces and the words for the second line didn't line up. I typed in what he did with about 25 spaces in between.

This is exactly why I asked several times for a big visual advice somewhere that says that a team has conceded.

Also the Hellbourne text looks alot darker than it should be to me.

Hmmm, well they could make a Concede text like when you Deny a tower.. so that a red CONCEDE appears, or perhaps a Victory or Defeat ..

But yeah to topic: He must have practiced to get that text to work so good since he managed first try..

Not that hard once you figure it out to put it into a macro creating program like autohotkey and then you just press a single button and it automatically types or copy/pastes it into chat for you.

I agree that more than just the chat message to display, like something that says CONCESSION in big red letters and have the announcer say something like "Hellbourne has conceded the match".

Thats just dirty. Seriously, what's wrong with them? E-Penis being that important is scary. Wouldn't like to meet that desperate people in a back alley.

The concede status sohuld appear and STAY there. Otherwise if you miss it you have no idea later on.

They just need to add a "Victory" "Defeat" button at the end.
If your team conceds there needs to be some visual marker saying that stats arnt being recorded.

there is a easy way to now if a team has conceded or not. Just check if their creeps are spawning, the team that concedes has no more creep spawns.

Interesting post. We'll take a look at clarifying the concede notification.

Adding arcade text to notify of team conceding.
