That wouldn't make them that much more secure, given the power of gpgpu the only secure way to store passwords and data is to break it up and store it in 2 or more locations with the encryption, all encrypting it does is delay a guy from reading the data he got off a dump or w.e Givens hons past problems with server loads and database problems in the past i doubt they wanted to spare a few cycles into doing that work. | ||

Kidding me? why would anyone in the world still use md5? Swing and a miss on the point made there. Point was, for every hash there's a reverse look-up table. Apparently they went to the trouble of salts and that wasn't enough either. So arguing about unencrypted vs encrypted password has little to no relevance seeming as shown encrypted passwords can be broken all the same, it's just a matter of time.

Change your pw on every other site where you use a similar pw. After S2 officially fixed it change your hon password to something that is not related to any other pw you have. | ||

Not saying I think HoN is better, but the main argument is usually; the faster pace of the game and the smooth engine. HoN does have other distinguishing factors, but it say the above mentioned ones are the most significant ones. It's quite a shame for HoN-fans that S2 has proven to be incompetent in certain areas. | ||

Non existence of unit-response delay Faster action and movment of heroes (faster turnrate and speed) : The HoN engine encourages speed. While the speed at which things happen can be difficult to follow at first, experienced players and viewers can easily decipher the action and comprehend what’s happening in almost any scenario. Furthermore, a player with exceptional reflexes can often correct a gameplay mistake the moment it occurs thanks to the fast paced HoN engine. for example you can use shift to queue abilities ie if you push q + Shift-W + Shift+E all three abilities will happen almost instantaniously. Taunting Opponents The non-forgiving nature, if you fuck up expect to pay for it. | ||

If this is true I will probably end up quitting hon since this is a pretty low blow for the company to only make a statement AFTER he started gloating about it. He verified it by posting his name on the Main S2 caster's Twitter (he had the same passwrod for his twitter and Hon I guess) Edit: Yes S2 Did hash the passwords but the hacker got the individual Salts as well(which quoted by himself were short and ineffective) To be honest, I'm kinda split on the entire company making statement-thing. On one hand, the company should always let its userbase know when major security breaches happens. On the other, the guy was obviously partly motivated by attention and e-fame - statements without a fix would only feed into this purpose. I dunno - as long as no critical information (credit cards, personal info) was aquired, no real harm has been done, so I don't mind S2 not giving much statement. At the same time, I like transparency, but I also hate giving trolls the attention that they want. Shame it happened, really I can't help but feel this was done by some LOL or DOTA-favoring troll in an attempt at further hurting HON as a competitor to the two. I imagine they're actually enjoying this news, which actually reflects really bad on their communities. Then again, all T-BAG-style games have always had terrible communities. | ||

Comparing it to League is a little different. League is a completely different game in the same genre. League is more 'team-based' and HoN is more 'individual-based'. Of course, both respective games have both incorporated but that's what I feel is dominant. For example in League, team-based play is very important because one champion, no matter how buff, can not take out a whole team. League is very action oriented because of how the heroes work (more skills can be spammed, less to do during laning phase (no denies). In HoN, one champion can solo a team of 5 given the right items. There tends to be more farming because items are extremely vital in this game. There is more emphasis during laning phase (creep kill/denies) and 'generally' less action among heroes. Town Portals (I think they're called that; TPs) are what make this game extremely fast pace. At anytime, when you're ganking a champion by a town, they can receive backup as quick as in 3 seconds. | ||
