Hi,
I just wanted to share my ideas and thoughts about the new free to play system without it being entirely lost in the official thread. This is suggestions on the new new hero pool idea. 30 Static Heroes instead of the usual 15 Rotational Heroes that is currently used right now. I agree with what the other players have said with making it 20 Static and 10 Rotational.

My suggestion for this is that we should have:
18 Static and 12 Rotational

My Reasons are:
- This allows for 6 Heroes from each agility, intelligence and strength to be in permanently
- This also allows for 4 Heroes from each agility, intelligence and strength to be rotated every week (or 2 weeks)




This way players can learn to play the game, without having to learn a new set of heroes every week
With 12 heroes each week it gives a window to learn new heroes


Hero Starter Suggestions

Agility:

Andromeda - Crowd control
Magebane - Physical damage
Moon Queen - Magic & Physical damage
Engineer - Crowd control & Magic damage
The Madman - Physical damage
Dampeer - Magic damage

Intelligence:

Pollywog Priest - Crowd control
Rhapsody - Magic damage & Protective
Nymphora - Crowd control & Protective
Wretched Hag - Magic damage
Plague Rider - Magic damage & Protective
Parasite - Magic damage

Strength:

Jeraziah - Protective & Tank
Rampage - Crowd control & Physical damage
Kraken - Crowd control & Tank
Electrician - Crowd control & Tank
Pharaoh - Crowd control & Tank
Midas - Crowd control & Magic damage

These are just suggestions only!

There are 9 ranged and 9 melee heroes in the list
Provided variety between support heroes, carries and tanks
Reminder this is the starting pool of 18 heroes and there will be a rotational list as well

Leveling Up System

Currently, it is extra silver coins every level you gain on your account

My suggestion:
- Gain a new hero every level, past level 5 (verified)



The amount of experience needed per level increases each time you level
This then balances out how many heroes you can gain in a certain amount of time


For example, if my account was level 15 then i would have gained 10 more heroes. This contributes ontop of the starter pool and the rotational pool allowing me to have overall 40 heroes of playing HoN


I will also post this in the original thread :)

I like the idea of improving on the free to play. I think its kinda BS that we dont even have the choice of purchasing the full game at this point.

I support this change, and I'm a legacy player.

Im not sure if 18 static and 12 rotational is a good idea. I think 30 pool of rotational is better.
However i agree that F2P system needs to be rethought.

I really like your idea for getting heroes when you level up.

In fact i think it would be good to let the player pick a hero to "buy" for him leveling up every level (or every other level).
So as u said they will have a pool of their own 10(or 5) heroes + a bigger pool will make it a much better experience.

Overall i agree with you Tirior (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/member.php?4006566-Tirior)
