Is anyone else getting 2-3 second freezes every couple of minutes in HoN? It's only been happening since the last patch or so, and it makes the game unplayable for me. I've read on the forums that it might have something to do with Windows 7 64, but I don't see any fixes. If anyone knows anything about this, or how to fix it, I'd really appreciate the help.

Right under his post is, "YOU JUST DON'T KNOW", so brilliantly planned Mr.L.

FYI, both the JF Crew and I, along with others, have returned for the holiday break. Combining both DotA and custams into the mix. Come and play some relaxed, and lulz, games!

For instance, no one will breathe down your neck! Secondly, we all fucking blow now so it's fucking lol. So for the holidays, come and join in a festive reunion of what we were all brought together to have fun with, DotA! Honorable mentions that have come to play from the past, which do not include the people that continued playing, are: Ryugie, LMNOP, Rad, bHp, Darknessheals and many others (sorry if I didn't mention your name!). These very fine gentleman came to play a, or several, rounds of DotA alongside old favorites (yes godamnit I says favorites) such as: ME (THAT'S RIGHT, ME), JF and co (WITH THE RETURN OF FADENHELL AS WELL), ilovecats (yes he has returned, it's confirmed), nitrogen (douche<3nohomo), Static, Gazette_Riki (Oh yes, I used his old name, brings back memories), vx.Hope and many more! So come on down to GArena town and play some DotA, we'll push the quota! Yes I had to, I just did. Just come and play godamnit. This means you L. I picked Tiny and some douchebag Huskar wouldn't lane with me for dominance.

Further notice, I have downloaded LoL and will give it a shot, playing alongside Rad and Evo. HoN is too competitive apparently.

Yes.

I've been having spikes caused by phonecalls, but those are 5-6 second long mini-dcs, and i've been having those 2-3 second freezes

mine aren't screen freezes, they're like a little burst of delay.

I think the HoN servers took a beating now that its open beta; most of the non USC USS or USE servers have gone from 90-110 ping to 160-250+. The normally good servers are now averaging 70-80 wereas prior they used to idle at 30.

To TYG: HoN is free; get jf and crew to get keys and get online with us. Only downside is no warlocks or soldiers, but I rape both so its pretty much the same for all you plebians.

To L: Refuse to go to HoN, dealing with some people is just too stressful, sadfaice, enough of the dramallama.. Also I'm way for leisure play now, competitive play is too competitive. Plus, some pplz r 2 srs. wey 2 srs.

If you'd like though, you could come down to GArena town and play.

To Nitrogen: Do not want.

Yeah, that's a better description. It sounds exactly like it does when the servers are lagging, with sounds repeated and all that. It's happened to me in a few team fights and ganks, and it's so frustrating that I'd just rather not play.

I regularly lose control of my hero/anything else I may be controlling for 2-5 seconds, it happens in about 1 out of 2 games, sometimes more than once. There's no lag, no freeze, my voice goes over fine on Mumble/vent and noone else gets any sort of problems. I just lose control and whatever I'm controlling acts out the last command I gave it or goes on AI. This means I'm either semi disabled during a teamfight or I towerdive/take on a whole creepwave + the enemy heroes on a lane. It is extremely annoying and always seems to happen at the worst time possible.

The dumbest thing about that is they probably would've wrecked us even with their anti-EM lineup if they stayed to play. And we had to wait another 20+ minutes for testie & co. to show up and wreck us.

Speaking of [P0K] I was thinking we should tweak our strat a bit. I know Lucario wants the support to be anti-gankers and leave the semi-carries to free farm no matter what, but it seems to me to be a unnecessary disadvantage when we leave a lane to be defended 3v5. My CK per minute was a bit better in the games where I stuck to my lane, sure, but in the games where I tp'd to teamfights I had a 13-3-6 Valk vs bads and a 10-3-5 Corrupted vs Testie & Co. And my farm wasn't much worse, tbh. In the games where I didn't TP to help out I was 5-4-7, 0-1-0, 1-0-0, and 1-2-0. We should let the anti-gankers decide whether they need help and if they say they do, go to help them, then counterpush if we can and return to our lanes to turtle/farm again.

Yea? No?
