Well, Microsoft is buying Activision. How can we show them the game is still alive?

I hope Microsoft will see this game is still alive and there is a hope that they will revive the game. What do you think? Whe must show them that the community is still big and the game just needs some support

Definite agree on it needing to be picked up again!
The way it got shafted because it didn’t meet some higher ups demands for even more profit on top of the money it was making was shameful AF.

Being bought by MS does at least spark a little hope they will by some miracle or another - but I’ll only believe it when I see it. :frowning:

Fluttershy, a forum frequenter… i see.
I think that HotS as an asset is well founded but neglected, and that Microsoft will try to develop any good asset they have.
HotS really is a good game, much like Starcraft is. Both of those is something of legend, and so was Diablo. It’s worthwhile looking into these things with a new perspective and more muscle, like Microsoft has.
I think HotS future is bright, it’s that good of a game. We’ll see.

Correction: Starcraft is legendary, HotS not so much. But it’s still a good game. I give it 8/10. Worth for Microsoft to do something with, I think.

What the game lacks is marketing. They already have enough features but since they abandoned it no one even knows it exists. That and a sprinke of UI updates and maps and it will be thriving again. Right now the only reason people know this game is a thing is the blizzard launcher which is installed by people looking to play OTHER games.

Overhaul UI
Two New Heroes
Two New maps
Marketing.
Fix the old AF bugs.
and the game is alive again.

Eventually the E-sports people will come back with its inevitable populatrity increase.

And the problem of lmao mm in quick games for the sake of “saving our time” and most importantly the problem of reconnection is, they say, ok? Moreover, i doubt that last problem even has a solution at the level of the StarCraft 2 engine.

I hope they never ressurect this bugged game … most of the skills are not working as they should, balance is missing. This game was designed to be abandoned and this is how it should stay.

i think qm should be only 1 in queue and completely random, no matchmaking. That makes it fair. It’s a shame on the team but u can get that in unranked, ranked, aram or custom.

17

I also propose an all random quick match additional mode, to crank up the random to full.
And I will make the wild suggestion that there’d be alternative modes for the two collection maps: Blackheart’s bay and Spider den (or whatever it’s called).
Instead of the normal victory condition it is the ones who has turned in the most in total, and carry the most, that win. Most coins win instead of core kill. The core kill still ends the game though but the win goes to the greediest.
Would that be fun? Idk. Just a couple of thoughts I thought I should share.

18

I also want an auto on skill selection, something I can toggle on and off so that it automatically selects my prefered talent immediately when it’s available.

And, also, when playing quickmatch or similar, I want to have a selection of favorites to choose from. Two more heroes, maybe.
The reason would be that if there’s a tank missing or a healer, we can work that out as a team. Or if some hero in the opposition is terrible for me, I can switch to something else.
Not sure how that plays out meta but… I would like the option.

Edit: I also think that last hitting a mob should confer +10% xp. Nothing major but still a thing. Shouldn’t be the main game, last hitting mobs or anything, but it should be in I think.
