The Heroes Round Table

As tempting as it is for me to respond to that comment let's not start a capitalism vs socialism discussion in the games forum. Save the political comments for a reopened Observatory.

We're getting a little off topic in turning this into a Diablo discussion but if you want a SOJ the best drop chance is off nightmare Andariel. She has a good chance of droping rings/jewelry but you'll still have to do a lot of runs most likely. There is a Diablo thread here: https://www.celestialhe...

I'm curius -- is there any difference in your mind between using a bot or paying (real money) for an account/item? No, not really. Most companies have policies against selling items, saying that everything associated with the game belongs to the company. When you click the "I Agree" buttt...

I voted Greater Basilisk. If a lizard race town had been included in HOMM5 the Basilisk could have worked well as a tier 7 creature.

If any part of the game is as repetitive as to cause a member to start using a bot, it is the game that fails, not the player. No, there are different types of games. Diablo is a game designed to cause the player to make the player spend time building up his character skillwise and itemwise. Howeve...

I guess they recieved a lot of outrage and maybe recognized they were losing sales because of their stupid limitations. I might pick up the game now. they’re switching to as many re-installs as you want on a maximum of five computers, with a patch for multiple accounts for one machine on the way. Th...

I like the Mantis. I would have prefered the Mantis to be the top Preserve creeature in HOMM5 rather than another dragon.

I don't watch much TV. I've been happy with the 2 episodes of Smallville so far. Clark is settling into his role as a mild mannered reporter as was hinted as last season. I wish the Luthurs were still in the story though. We'll just have to see how Tess works out as Clark's Luthur Corp nemesis.

It is true that luck is capped. That is because of the power of the skill. The more of a might heroe your heroe is the more powerful the luck skill becomes. Yes, there are certain artifacts that can increase luck. But using those artifacts also prevents you from using other artifacts and assumes tha...

It is not the same as someone who invests the time actually playing the game IMHO. Also, bots do tend to have faster reflexes. For example, there is a "pick it" program in Diablo that people use with their bots. Not only do their bots play 24/7 they can scoop up all the goodies before a hu...

In H5, how blurry is the line between attack specials and magic? Are the abilities less powerful since they don't cost any mana? Well for example Benediction is weaker than a spell, obviously. Or are you talking about the normal attack? Might heroes have attack and defense values that help their cr...

Doesn't that give them an unfair advantage over other players? Particularly on games that have rankings, such as ladders. Or in games that involve PvP. The player who uses a bot will have superior gear in relation to the player who does not cheat. He will also level faster and be at a higer position...

Yeah, some people want the bots to level up their characters or find items for them. Others actually sell items and game gold to people and run services to level up characters for others (for a price.) Same thing happens in Diablo and in other online games.

I like the concept of heroe specialities. The problem is that time is not taken to balance the specialities which results in only a couple of heroes of each faction actually being used as a main heroe. I hope specialties are retained. A heroe has to be able to creeep reasonably well to be chosen as ...

Hopefully this will help clean up the bots in games and help level the playing field for gamers who don't cheat. I'm opposed to all bot use and think companies should go after bot producers like blizzard did. http://www.diii.net/n/697021/blizzard-win-damages-against-bot-creator Blizzard have been aw...

That's strange that you can't download it because of where you live. The US version is a censored version (to take out nudity.) There may be other countries who require a censored version too. I hope you find a way to get it. I'm nearing the end of Act3 (there is a progloge, 5 Acts, and an epiloge.)...

A "heroe" who continuallly retreated wouldn't be considered a heroe by his troops because such actions would not be very heroic. Who would want to join a "heroe" who fled every battle and had his troops always perish to the last man? "Run away, run away!" Maybe there sh...

Franzy mentioned a new undocumented functinon TalkBoxForPlayers that could possibly be useed for that. I'm not really clear on what all the function does. Otherwise you could try using several QuestionBox functions.

Yes, there is a way to make an outpost sell upgraded creatures. Look at my post on 08 Nov 2007 on this page. https://www.celestialheavens.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3793&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=390 When you change the outpost you can select upgraded creatures. I did this in my Sha...

1. I never really like campaign mode, and I just want to play against the AI on single map. Is the random map generator any good, or are there a lot of nice non campaign maps included (or are there a lot of good community maps)? 2. I haven’t followed patch information at all. Is this game better bu...
