They might make him magmus(cuz he looks like sand king)

Source of the pictures? Could just be dota (or dota-HoN fusion) fan art? The magmus-sand king one is particularly interesting. The other could just be a line fan art.

Lol he looks like the old master in kung fu panda   

Is it pugna?

I think pugna is the other new hero kross posted earlier



They have another image of his staff only, so I'm guessing that will play a large part in the game, like pugnas staff:

ya i thnk also he might be pugna..

Huh? What was pugna's staff? I know he had a staff, but his spells didnt seem to be related to his staff (life drain looked like it went to his head).

And if you mean Oblivion's staff, that didnt have anything to do with pugna. And anyways theres already a replacement for Oblivion's staff in HoN (great arcana).

Edit: But I want pugna brought to HoN. And the hero based on the Arcane destroyer... Harbringer or something. And Anub'Seran. IMO scout is enough like Anub'arak to warrant him not being ported.

wut? pugna = oblivion.

I'm talking about the nether ward he places, and damaged enemies based on the spells they cast. The pic above looks a lot like it could be that.

Hello everyone!

I wanted to take the time to let everyone know that what we've been doing, what we're going to be doing, and what our plan is for open beta & retail release.

We've been developing and are working to finish the following:

1.) Automated Match Making
2.) New Interface (We call it Front End 2.0 or FE2)
3.) Art Polish
4.) Gameplay Balance

Much of this stuff has been in the works for a while and progress has been great. We're getting near the end of having this stuff is a testable state.

Our plan is to do the following:

1.) Release a Beta Test Patch with the above mentioned *when it is ready*
2.) Test & Fix & Patch (as many times as necessary) issues related to the above changes
3.) Finalize and put patch into Beta Client
4.) Go to Open Beta which will run for an unset period of time (we plan to release some new heroes during the open beta)
5.) Release the game as retail requiring payment to continue to play at such time we feel Open Beta has run its course.
6.) Continue to polish, improve, and create new content for HoN (this will include the eventual release of a Map Editor, SDK, New Heroes & Items & Maps)
7.) ??
8.) Profit!

So there we have it, HoN will NOT be free. But I think it'll be in open beta for a while, so the GCHL tournament will go on as planned
