So we can go in as a noob and partake in a hit based tournament and everyone will be given equal powerd weapons. A level 2 and a level 122 for example? And can you tell me more about the Freeze war, bomb war ect. Paint a picture for me to I understand what kind of game play that is. Obviously I understand team death match and soccer but the others I dont.
I had done some descriptions earlier in the thread but here's some basic details from our forum.
Vampire War
All players start with 10,000 life and lose 150 life per second. Hitting any other player with fb/ss STEALS 1,000 of their life. When your health reaches 0, you are eliminated. For thematic purposes, all players inside the events will be given a fancy vampire garment to get them into the mood.
Dragon War
The first person to score a kill becomes the dragon king. While you are the dragon king you will 1 shot all other players with fb/ss and will gain points per kill AND per second. All other players can only hit the dragon king (gaining points for each hit) and take 3 hits to kill him. The person who scores the final strike becomes the new dragon king. Ends when a player reaches the score limit.
Soccer
Work as a team to get the ball into the enemy net! The first person who hits the ball in the center becomes a soccer ball and can bounce towards the enemy net. You can still use fb/ss while you're transformed to pass the ball to allies. Allies can hit the enemy team to freeze them solid for a short while.
Note: The ball is quite slow. Protect whoever on your team has it so that your team can score!
Freeze War
Team based event where hitting players will freeze them solid in a block of ice! Hit your frozen allies to free them instantly. Once an entire team is frozen at once, they lose and are eliminated.
Bomb War
The first player to be hit becomes a bomb and after 10 seconds will be eliminated. If they hit another player, the bomb passes to them and its timer is reset to 10s. Hitting the player who is currently holding the bomb makes it count down 1 second faster. If the bomb reaches 0 while on your character, you will be eliminated. The event ends when only 1 player remains alive.
There are plenty more both on the server already and in development. Basically it's just taking the concept of hit based events where skills matter over gear and themeing them in different ways to keep them fresh for players.
Ah is windows client only
I think they said hero's is going to be on Mac.
Heroes has the potential for a mac client... that being said our client protection system involves a LOT of reverse engineering. I'm not sure how feasible those same changes will be on the mac version of the game. The fact that a client for that version of the game exists though does give us a higher likelihood of releasing something for mac users.
Thanks. I saw then but forgot about the explanation.
