ElementUser 842 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 1 hour ago, War_Of_Ages said: Dear developers and administrators! Do you have the ability to export game data for users? So that each of us could go here and download all the information about ourselves (how many hours played, what skins were bought, favorite characters, etc.) Many of us grew up on this game, and at least such pleasant nostalgia will remind you of the wonderful years in front of the monitor... You can get all that information through the in-game client while HoN's services are still up. You just have to take screenshots of the areas of interest. Link to post Share on other sites
Manu311 181 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Alternatively you can also run wireshark locally while accessing all the data in your client. Iirc some of it is transferred without encryption, so you can just read it that way. Afaik everything is transfered via http, so just use that filter and you should be able to find most things. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You can estimate it by multiplying the average game time by the number of games you play. You may need to adjust the values & do a weighted sum for Mid Wars games vs. FoC games.

Tbh it's not just a matter of learning a new game, but more like 'is there another game which is worth it. other mobas arent as attractive. DoTA2 doesnt catch my eye and i tried LoL and didnt find it as enjoyable as HoN gameplay-wise. Edited June 4 by BlazeArdent Link to post Share on other sites

I wish they had let people be still spending money, maybe it would lead them to extend the end for some more months/years. Basically the decision was made in december (or maybe earlier internally) and server providers were given the notice. But I assume they already payed for until june and couldn't terminate them earlier. It would be kinda unfair to let us continue to buy things that would (mostly) only go into the pockets of Garena without a real chance to extend HoNs lifetime. I believe HoNs costs could have been payed by different options (like having those Saudi players pay for them ), but it would just not be worth it for Garena. Link to post Share on other sites
Soultrigger 3 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 HoN was P2W for a while with 'early access' to new characters that were ridiculously overpowered.That greed alone along with other questionable decisions may have had a deterreing effect. Plus HoN had zero marketing. It was purely friend of friend type of networking. League of Lesbians is like a game for children/dysfunctional brain capacity. Dota 2's delay gives me anxiety. Not sure what's next. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Supermanirl 0 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 (edited) @ElementUser Would you be able to give me the total cost of expenses required to upkeep HoN in 2021, and if there's any possibility to take outside investment to keep the game running. Even possibly acquiring the game. All for old times sake as it would all come out of my pocket and I understand I will never see a positive ROI.

hegelsohn 93 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 I don't think the costs to keep HoN running were relevant. Playerbase would have easily have been able to keep at least servers up. If Garena wanted to sell HoN, they would have done it. Likely not happening due to copyrights. But that was discussed before.. Link to post Share on other sites

I heard garena wants to use hon heroes and skinns for some mobile game they have. That's why they don't want to sell it. but hey: I'd also be more than happy to chip in and pay for the servers if they change their mind Link to post Share on other sites

(I mean wrote the server) I don't I think creating a server yourself from scratch from the network-traffic you captured is legally "fine". But I assume the actual game-protocol is way harder to reverse-engineer than the trivial stats. Without looking into it, I assume stats and shop-stuff is transferred in a readable format (json, xml, php-serialized stuff) but there is no way the game-state is readable, that'll be binary and pretty hard to reverse-engineer (also you don't have that much time to fetch the required data).

darkmasters 0 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 hon is an incredible moba, who never had a company that knew how to treat him... I hope he really gets sold to some smaller developer... at least so we can have fun... we can't just bury a game as amazing as this... all avatars referencing characters... blitz = sonic, scout = assassins screed gauntlet = one punch man berseck = mario taunts, announcements... hon has something that no other moba has... which are these fun references... Please, we can't just let this go away... Link to post Share on other sites
