There is a DDoS on, but it's not the reason HotS is down, they're doing a bunch of backend maintenance that's apparently taking longer than expected. Hopefully they're releasing a sensible reconnect feature.

The current reconnect feature... how did they fail so hard on that? It takes 5-10 minutes to reconnect, plus the AI picks talents for you instead of just leaving them blank so when you finally do get back in the game you have this completely random skill tree that, more often than not, has zero synergy and just outright sucks.

I'd rather they just remove it altogether and allow me to requeue because currently I'm either a) not going to bother reconnecting and just play Hearthstone while I wait for the game to end, or b) I reconnect and my talents are so fucked up that I just afk and/or leave again.

It's because it's exactly the SC2 reconnect feature, only it doesn't pause the game, it has a computer play for you. Then it replays the game from the start, which takes a while to load up, and continues on until the point where you dc'd, then it stops to load again, then it hits current, stops to load again, then loads the last few seconds before letting you back in.

It's funny that their last projection was 4 hours ago and we still don't have an update as to what the hell is taking so long.

I got in like 3-4 weeks ago, but never got around to playing until today. I really like it so far. Only thing that's dumb is that some of the talent options are locked until you play a certain class enough to level it.

Queue times really sucked today though, like 5ish minutes for a game.

That really annoyed me at first, but I don't really notice it now. Only takes a game or two (three) against other players to unlock them.

That sounds like such a janky way to have a reconnect feature

So i just got a beta key, played my first two games... got to say that my impression is pretty bad for the moment, the game feels so bland from my perspective :s

What exactly about it feels bland? I'm curious.

Those who don't like it generally say it feels shallow or it lacks depth, not that it's bland. There's a lot of action going on at all times!

Some of the hero designs are pretty bland. If I played my first two games on Raynor or Li Li I might have said the same thing. That said there are some truly unique/interesting designs, (Abathur, Murky) and LoL/DotA had a ton of bland hero designs in their early days. I think they're about where you expect them to be at this point.

I love this game! Really accentuates the things I love about mobas. I'd love an additional layer of customization but they're clearly looking to add that and considering it's still Alpha I'm hugely impressed with the offering. I think I'll be playing this game for a long while.

Just got invited to the beta, downloading right now. I'm so excited after I got the chance to play at gamescom for the first time :D
Are there already ingame groups (for a TL group for example) or something like that?

Pretty sure I've been on the receiving end of that when playing with you (cause you're terrible).

I had a 5:XX game a while back on mines. We won the lvl 1 teamfight, rushed Knights camp, 4 man pushed bot while Gazlowe got giants, won a teamfight on their fort, then just walked up to the Core while they went 3 in mines and got a 100 skull golem that spawned just as their Core died.

Game time is one of the major selling points of this game to me. So nice not playing for 20-60 minutes every game.

I feel that may be one of the issue i have with the game, i played my first game on raynor and the rest on Tyrael. The problem is that the game actually discourages you to try new heroes at the start since you need to unlock talents, and most of the more interesting heroes are behind a paywall anyway .
I'm really interested by the fact that games are not as long as dota2, i can't dedicate 1hour for a game anymore
