HoN-iversary Planning 2012

[[AoDa]Alonzo]

1 Double coins 1 week
2 The mode random draft like in dota if you can

[last_hope]

-Alt Avatar Price Reduction and a stable gold/silver currency
-trade in system for goblin coins (e.x. 1000 silver trade to 100 gold coins)
-custom maps (rpg maps, tower defense, etc. ?!)
-more frequent balance patches
-faster adressing of reported bugs
-spectate/mentor game for more then 1 person
-ladder system for mm ( ppl who played 3000+ games don't have to play with ppl who've played 100 games)
-remake of underused heroes
-wardcounter for rev wards (coins)
-easier way to counter invis heroes in pub games (higher manadrain like % drain, lower goldcost for wards etc.)
-forcing teamplay with a mode which only allows to pick up 1 carry, 1 semicarry, 2 supporter, 1 gank/init e.x. (not 5 carrys per game/team)
-an accurate mmr model which rewards every player itself so if a player played decent and his 1 or 2 of his team failed him that he does not lose the same amount of mmr (e.x. carry got a bunch of kills, support placed a lot or wards in USEFUL possitions - defined areas, aoe stuns hit by init and so on)

What I would like to see as a a gift for the event:
- Send each player a code, which they can use to purchase one item of their choice in the shop. So everybody can get their favorite alt avatar/announcer/courier/taunt, regardless of how often they play. This just screams: "Happy HoNiversary!"
- Honiversary would also be a perfect opportunity to launch a couple of features (or even HoN 3.0) Maliken spoke about in his "What S2 is working on"-post. Personally I would be most excited about seeing bots.

What I would see in the long run:
- make silver coins viable again. My idea for this would be a pricing scheme, where newly released items cost 3.000 silver coins (to keep the incentive for purchasing with gold coins), but their prices get lower the older they get. So e.g. a one year old item would cost only 500 silver coins.
- This: gave me the following idea: after a MM-game, give each player five silver coins, that they can distribute among their teammates (maximum 3 per player). This reinforces positive ingame-attitude, and rewards playing support.

This

and more coins to supports who always have to be on the blaming side even after doing their work and who never ever can get immortal or annihilation(for which extra coins are awarded)

Award coins to player who buy wards not to the player who places them.

Please implement -Switch (a player can switch teams) for no stats games. So many no stats games are ruined by leavers but could be evened out again for a good game with the remaining players.

Also please implement custom maps for no stats!

1.)drop the silver prices by a bit..(like 3000 turns into 1500-2000 ish)
2.)double silver weekend (every weekend)
3.)a ladder for clans( every clan gets a certain mmr and gets points for activity per member etc. etc.)
4.)give away 1 golden coin per match or something
5.)force every1 to start at 1500 again xD
6.) 2v2/4v4 matchmaking option
7.)everytime a new EA hero comes out give the legacy players 1 week to try them out so they can decide to buy them or wait for them.
8.) new items that apply the agilty 450 item fleetfeet and a new(cheaper) evasion item to create something like a cheaper wingbow (ex. fleetfeet + new evasion item 900G + punchdagger) something like that

PLEASE throw out custom map , I am telling you it will increase your player base atleast by 15,000 people. Atleast make them play to a verified account or something to be able to play custom maps or make it 10$ to be able to use a sdk for new members who have yet to purchase their account.

u hatin on dem titties bro ?D:

1. CUSTOM GAMES.

2. The ability to organize and join tournaments inside the game. I don't have the numbers but it's not a lot of people visiting the forums compared to people visiting ingame. A system to set up some kind of pricepool ingame would be awesome too.

3. Rewards for being on top of the MMR ladder. Rewards like a unique color, title, icon, alt avatar something. Maybe rewards for hitting 1600/1700/1800 etc? Think it makes people smurf less and want to win more. Less trolling etc.

4. Team based rating (A team of 5 shares the same rating).

5. New and more tutorials ingame!

5. Hontour ^__^

6. Manacost on abilities like in dota2

7. Betting with silver (maybe gold?) coins, something like COD has.

Exactly this. ^

Personally I would be most excited about seeing bots.

- This: gave me the following idea: after a MM-game, give each player five silver coins, that they can distribute among their teammates (maximum 3 per player). This reinforces positive ingame-attitude, and rewards playing support.

- MM-map-cycling: cycle the second MM-map on a weekly basis, so people get more diversity in the HoN-experience without splitting up the player base into too many queues. (more queues --> fewer players per queue --> longer queues).

Three good ideas there.

1) I would love to see bots for practice/playing with friends, even if only a subset of the heroes had AI to start with.

2) I like this idea, we need more positive feedback for players. Less negativity. However, if you play with your friends all you are ever going to do is give the majority of silver coins to your friends, not others. So maybe do it combined with a reputation system where you can say +3 silver coins to this guy because he was helpful, but you are never allowed to give silver coins to him again if you ever happen to play with him again.

3) I think if you implement a mode like this it would have to be more like: I'm willing to play any map, any mode. Pick something randomly for me.
