Hero Teaser: Artillery

[Flupke]

Looks ok, but the name, come on, artillery? Whats next, a hero name Crossbow? Sword?

Well, Engineer is an Engineer, so he engineers.
Scout is a scout, he scouts.
madman is a mad man, he mad mans


Artillery is artillery, so he artilleries.

I could make a lot of those examples with current heroes, when you think about it, not many heroes have an actual name.

[JD`z]

oh come on S2 not another ranged agi -.-

[[SBD]ShAdOw_LaNcE]

ANOTHER ranged agi hero??? I mean it looks cool, don't get me wrong. But AGAIN?!?!?!

[[EHOP]Epidemilk]

Yeah cmon so much ranged agi lately, and being a mecha seems like a great excuse to make it ranged STR :P

[Excyis]

GODDAMNIT PEOPLE! THEY ARE MAKING RANGE AGI HEROES TO FILL UP THE EMPTY SPACE.

There are much fewer Agi heroes compared to STR/INT. Hence why they're currently releasing a lot of agility ones.

Get over it. Wait a bit. And they'll change to other stat heroes.

Deal with it. It's their game. They can develop it any way they want to.

EDIT: they'll probably add STR ones after. Considering the "lack" of heroes there.

[hodsic]

Ranged Agi... again...
Glad i quitted...

But you still check the forums everyday? Why wastted your time?

[ManskeDeluxe]

The ****? They just released a new hero.

[Lhune]

Well, Engineer is an Engineer, so he engineers.
Scout is a scout, he scouts.
madman is a mad man, he mad mans


Artillery is artillery, so he artilleries.

Except that artilleries is plural, not a verb. Your argument is invalid.

He artillerizes.

[DreadLocks]

From what I saw from the IRC photo, his first ability is very similar to chippers rockets, except that they do damage in a line and the range isn't as far.

[[PonE]Beowulf]

A bipedal robot? MUST BE A GUNDAM!

Really?

[[TCIL]dkiearth0]

but please try to stick to your lore. -_- Such an eyesore to see a robot armed with a minigun in the same place as a gladiator in the same place as a knight in the same place as a goblin with giant magnets in the same place as a hell demon in the same place as a dude with a laser gun in the same place as an undead dude throwing shovels in the same place as a magnetic cyborg in the same place as a giant magical turtle...

can't agree with you more...
i think that S2 has lost track a bit...i mean isn't the game suppose to be medieval fantasy? the last months from heroes to alt avatars they are going even more far away from that concept. which for me is kinda bad, whats the point of releasing heroes that totally don't fit in the whole game concept? it just makes the whole game a mess

[[1GR]DragonHeart]

ok i agree s u r trying to be openminded but i dont thing the laser guns and the missiles fit in that game where u have swords axes javelins and magic i believe3 there is no rooom for that ...ok muskets and old guns but missiles and lasers???ok gunpodwer heroes like ws or gb or bomb but artillery??moa??i believe the whole context must change keep the skills but change the heroes so they fit chronologically with the game !!

[Yk`Lagor]

2 ranged legion agility heroes in a row? Alright but his name is a bit... bleh

[[DTY]Feforever]

I need to use this as my sig! *O*

Nice teaser BTW.

[[FRi]Tenixxor]

THOR IS HERE!
Although it looks cool but isn't it time to make some str/int heroes?

[Skinsword]

It does fit. The HON lore states that Newerth occured after the old Earth which was more or less our Earth. The "Ancients" that were mentioned in several heroes' background stories were in fact us!

I got to say that the lore was done terribly for this character. If it were me, I would say that the giant mech was something that Maliken found in some ruins. The legion then reverse engineered the mech which allowed them to produce gunpowder and other "modern" technologies. The mech itself was always meant to be a legion secret weapon and now they are desperate enough to use it against the Hellbourne.

Unfortunately, the backstory was pretty badly done.

[[KorN]CreepinDeth]

Legionnaire used to have a rocket launcher.

Artillery=Agility Hero doesn't make any sense.
Artillery=Strength Hero doesn't make any sense.
Artillery=Intelligience Hero doesn't make any sense.

Well,having a robot like this in a game like HoN doesn't make any sense at all.

WTF another agility hero again ?

38 days to Diablo 3.

Agility makes perfect sense if there is a human operator inside the mech.

Also, considering the setting (Newerth is set long after modern-day Earth, so there can be all sorts of futuristic tech being uncovered from ruins and such, take a look at Chronos' and DR's backstories, for example.), something like this is consistent with the lore.
