Heroes of the Storm and Diablo 3 · 3:42pm Jun 24th, 2015

Good morning folks!

With the announcement of XCOM 2, I recently went full throttle no holds barred marathon gameplay with XCOM Long War. I am now sick of that game and I need to take a break. :S

What has recently caught my attention was some of the upcoming plans for Heroes of the Storm (which I dabble in) and Diablo 3 Season 3, which I have never tried. While I could certainly dive into these games by myself, that wouldn't be nearly as fun as having someone to dive in with. In my experience both games are much more fun when you can coordinate with a friend for complimentary powers and such, and I always have fun theorycrafting such things.

If any folks do either of these things, send me a message here. The last time I publicly posted my Steam ID/PSN, I got a bzillion invites from folks I didn't know, so if folks post their interest HERE, I'll know who I'm inviting. :D

(Also, before you ask, next MM chapter is in process, I'm hoping to post this weekend.)

Hope to hear from some folks soon!

Edit: For HOTS, I always go against bots. Because if I want to feel crushing defeat, I'd be playing I/I Xcom. :P

I'm down for a bit of HotS. ETC is mai waifu

For HotS, you pretty much want to have a full team coordinated to be effective. I usually dabble around in bots, so probably won't be that great here. D3 on the other hand I've played quite a bit, but I'll have to dust off the game and update it. I'd mostly be free Friday nights and Saturday mornings, if you're interested.

3177778 ETC went through some massive changes since Beta. His new level 20 of Death Metal is just hilarious even if the entire enemy team is ranged, it just looks so hilarious. Chen's ultimate of the Wandering Keg is also very hilarious. Enemy team running away? Level 20 Wandering Keg which gains 5% movement speed for every enemy hero hit until a 100% cap and has the increased 2 second duration. I love Wandering Keg so much. Wonder if it can cancel Diablo's Lightning Breath?

I mainly go versus bots, so no worries! Updated the blog

I normally go vs players, but fair enough. I'm still down :twilightsmile:

Can't talk, too busy playing Batman: Arkham Knight!:trollestia:

The pc version makes me sad.

I also got sick of The Long War. I liked the new twists but the part where it really lives up to the "long" part of its name just turned into drudgery for me.

I heartily recommend Battle Brothers as a good alternative. Think of it as if Mount & Blade and Xcom had a cute little baby together.

:twilightsmile: I'd be up for playing with you, I haven't done much D3 lately, but I have several max characters and I still dabble in it. I'm really into HotS lately, I played LoL for a while, but HotS changed all the things I disliked about that game and made them better, so I've been having a lot of fun with it. I mostly do pvp because after a while the bots get too predictable/boring, but I don't mind playing them sometimes, and once you get used to the game, basic quick matches aren't all that bad.

I'd be down for playing Heroes. I've been meaning to expand who I play with and playing against bots isn't bad. I'm usually free some time after 9pm (eastern that is) most nights though not this Saturday.

Sadly I don't play either of those two.

I play Diablo 3, on occasion. Just rolled a wizard last Monday for Season 3. I work midshift though, so if I'm on, it's usually the morning after work to early afternoon, or late night on my midweek weekend >.>

I'm very happy to play with anyone in the HotS :ajsmug:
Only that I will have to change the region for america so I'll have to start from scratch :applejackunsure:
But still I'm willing to play with you :twilightsmile:
Anyway, my ID is Pio286#2616 :ajsmug: but I guess you'll have to send me a message through FIMFICTIOION/pm
because I do not know whether contacts between regions in BattleNet is possible:unsuresweetie:

I've played the beta but haven't touched it in a bit, so I'm down for some cooperative action in HotS. You can only have so much fun with randoms, after all. :rainbowwild: Some friends should put a new spin on things. :rainbowdetermined2:

This isn't related to HoTS but have you ever tried Company of Heroes 2? It's a RTS with MOBA style elements with a great emphasis on positioning and using your unit's abilities to full effect. I highly recommend you try it out considering is on sale on steam at the moment.

Sweet. I mean in LoL I mostly stay in bots because I can pretty much do what I want, from straight up roflstomping as Sona to a more supportive role, depending on my team. If they ask for help, I do that; if they are jerks, then I leave them well alone and drift to another lane. Not to much difference in HotS. I'll put another message with my account when I get home.

EDIT: OneMoreDaySK should be my username

For HOTS, I always go against bots. Because if I want to feel crushing defeat, I'd be playing I/I Xcom. :P

I have friends who feel the same. :rainbowlaugh:

As for what I typically play in Storm of the Heroes, I main Brightwing, Captain Hammer, and Nova Beam. Yes, I'm one of those people. Might be busy, but send me a PM if you want to set up some playtime. I could use sone more excuses to play that game.

I do HotS some, Minitheif here. Nova and Zagara are my gals! Maybe we can work you up to people, if you have friends to play with you can teamwork your way to a sad enemy team!
EDIT: Code is #1470. Anyone feel free to add me.

What time zone are you in?

Played and beat Diablo II with the expansion pack, but that was with a friend I played with: didn't get too into it myself.

Wait, if you're busy playing these games, will you still have time to procrastinate on getting back into SWTOR with me?

3177908 I've heard :pinkiesad2: I have an Xbox One version, so my buddy who has a PS4 version keeps lording over me the freebie stuff he got exclusive (not that I care.... Adam West Batman themed skin and batsuit? Not my sorta thing lol)

I played that thing into the freaking ground. Got something like 300 hours in it. I sadly lost interest when they stopped releasing new commanders for the Americans/OKW factions.

3178488

Central!

If you ever want to move on from bots I would be willing to play some HotS with you, tag is Leviticus#1621. I also play D3 from time to time so if you ever want to do a Hardcore seasonal run lemme know and I'd be down.

3178936

I'm afraid Bots are all I'm interested in at the moment. It isn't an exaggeration when I say that if you had me on a team versus humans... you would probably be better with an empty fifth spot. :S

3178946 eh, I honestly wouldn't mind it, I'm rank 4 on the ladder and my roommates are rank 39 and 45 so I'm used to it. But to each their own. Hope you enjoy it cause it's a great game.

I play HotS. Hit me up! Battletag is Geritz#1161

I'll keep you alive with Malfurion, or tank some hits with Muradin, or dish out some pain with Valla... whatever you need!

EDIT: I play monks in Diablo 3 as well, if you'd like me to join you there.

Feel free to add me on Battle.net. My tag is NeoKevlar#1858. I'll probably go super ham at the start of season 4 and put way more hours into it than I should. If you're going to be playing some D3, you might want to make a clan. Maybe even one XCOM related? Wink, Wink ;D

Requests sent! Played a bit of HotS and got my wee crusader started in D3 seasons. Not hardcore though. I have enough of those shenanigans in XCOM.

3179805

Sweet! I'll be home by 5 pm EST and jumping in. See you when I see you, then!

I thought if you wanted to feel crushing defeat, that you go into a StarCraft (1 or 2, it doesnt matter) MP with Koreans as your opponents
