I've edited the topic - I should have made it clear that I'm referring to his percieved weakness with his Ult, not with the rest of his character. My main issue with the Ult is that even with the best ultimate placement, the delay of the ult actually starting allows for characters to avoid the Ult and very very rarely get pulled to the centre. I very rarely end up with an immobilization. I mainly play him in midwars which is probably why I've caused such a stir on the topic.

I'd be greateful with the base int going back to 16, losing the constant restrain in favour of some of the other recommendations on the staff buff, if that's feasible.

I still feel that Kraken's ult is still far too weak atm, so many people can just easily escape it and if you land a really good ult, it's still really difficult to get anyone to the center of the ult as the radius of the center of the whirlpool doesnt seem very big at all, and so many heroes seem to easily escape being dragged to the center or are able to move enough by the time the whirlpool kicks off because of the 1 second delay. Maybe as an addition to the staff effect, any chance of getting the center radius increased, and potentially instead of it being a 3 second immobilize - chan

@traashbag open console via CTRL+F8 and type vid_shader_precache and hit enter. If this is set to false, it's likely to be the cause of a lot of these problems. To fix type vid_shader_precache true and restart the game, and see if it improves.

I use both the Corsair HS70 Pro (Wireless) and Logitech G PRO X (Wired) Headsets. Both pretty awesome for HoN and most other things!

Are you using the x64 client? I'm using it on a fresh Windows 11 installation with no problems. Sounds like you may have a bad install.

/ic twice in chat, and all chat ignored. Easy

There's been lots of occasions I've noticed lately where backdoor protection is still active on the rax even though the shrine takes normal damage, and our creeps are near the structures. This was a recent example though where even after the shrine had been killed and the game was over - backdoor protection was still active on the racks. Match ID 161877064

Try the solution outlined here.

Rename your configuration folder to something else as it's possible somethings corrupted there. Depending on if you use x86 or x64 client - rename the following folder (make sure the game is closed) C:\Users\yourusername\Documents\Heroes of Newerth x64 to C:\Users\yourusername\Documents\Heroes of Newerth x64old or C:\Users\yourusername\Documents\Heroes of Newerth to C:\Users\yourusername\Documents\Heroes of Newerthold And try starting your game again. You will have to reapply all settings or pull your cloud config.

This is not an x64 specific bug and is a known issue. There's nothing that can be done until there's enough donations to cover the dev work needed or it's at a priority level to be picked up as "run of the mill" work.

If you have 1350+ gold but less than 2675 for the item - and right click to buy parts for Spell Sunder - it will buy the glowstone and the recipe instead of the cogwheel.

Open game, open console with CTRL+F8 - and type the following (press enter after each line) vid_shaderPrecache true d3d_flush 1 Once you've done this - restart the game and see how you get on
