It's very hard to believe in the integrity of a company like S2 when their communication sucks, many of their employees are very young or immature, and there are tons of well-known problems with their employees handing out favors, being rude, changing stats, deleting games (these problems are very well-known amongst the forum-visiting community). Maliken is also more well-known for calling people n.iggers and f.aggots than he is for anything else. S2 really is a piece of shit company, and it's run by a piece of shit human being. Here's an interview with Maliken if you want to see what the kind of person who yells NIGGER FAGGOT a hundred times per game and wants "faggoty/queer" alt announcers in the game looks like. http://honcast.com/video/2011/06/09/interview-with-ceo-of-s2-games-mark-deforest http://gaygamer.net/2010/12/heroes_of_newerth_flamboyant_a.html I'm sure that since you have such fiery and precise opinions you also understand that the people that design and even code new content or balance patches probably don't even understand the vocabulary of their fellow employees who work on server maintenance. They're two completely separate endeavors. | ||

In fact, what you said has absolutely nothing to do with anything except the patch release, which comprised two sentences of my first paragraph. Same to the person below me. It's a remarkably stupid thing to do to release a content patch when nobody can play the game; it's going to cause all sorts of arguments and anger within the community, as evidenced by the hundreds of posts in the forums etc. I realize you think your argument is some sort of trump card but it's not. Don't worry, we all know there are different specializations within the company, and your statement is not revelatory in any way. | ||

S2 is a small company you can't expect things to be insta resolved becuase they have a team of 100 techs they can call on at any time. | ||

Wat.....? His First Skill has split into a separate buff and debuff. Because of that you can purge the silence off an ally and keep the damage buff on him. You can do the same for an enemy, purging the damage off them and keeping the silence on. | ||

Basically: you pull the top right legion camp at max range at :52, dip into the bottom camp nook where you go for the old triple pull and then run in a straight line through the trees (cut them) to the hard camp in the middle which should give you like a second leeway in pulling (so you might be able to do this at lower speeds i cba to test it). For melee with a single tree cut the timing is insanely close, you pull the middle hard camp from a little nook in the trees down towards the rune spawn, then you run across to pull the right camp by cutting a tree and pulling inside that part and run straight down to pull the last set. It is very difficult to do this as a 350 speed melee, but you could save time by cutting some trees maybe I guess. For that pull you need to know pretty much exactly where to stand zzz. | ||

Don't worry, we all know there are different specializations within the company, and your statement is not revelatory in any way. You're just wrong about what business practices are 'remarkably stupid,' ask any moderately successful team leader or project manager. Your evidence for your opinion is the reaction of a vindictive community that would have been angry at S2 regardless of patches or communication. Today's post-patch downtime and delayed stats were explained by two punctual stickies in the general forum. The explanation was the necessity of adjusting upgrades to servers and databases, which is progress toward the goal you claim S2 is too busy swimming in golden goblin coins to see. As far as that character assassination/bad PR shit, I don't really give a fuck but you could probably find people of like mind and similar opinion over at dotallyrad. I only paid $10 for this game and I'm only here to judge S2 by their product. If you were looking for a more full-featured discussion instead of just getting dunked on, you should attempt not talking out of your ass. You certainly seem capable. | ||
