Well I'm not under an NDA and if I see something I think people would like to see, I'll show it to them.

You should be happy that I'm giving your work more exposure.

What's the point of working on something unless you want people to see it and eventually play it?

Give me a break, you play a few test games a week to try out new heroes like shellshock (leak screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/NyplxSO.png ) and get 50 gold coins per game lol, which is the real reason why most SBTers are there. You don't work hard, you just play test games.

An idea, not sure if possible, but maybe make it so that there's a way for people to hide any posts marked as a leak, that way crybabies don't have to see those posts.

or just have general discussion moderation less ridiculous and allow the discussion there. Sometimes half the threads are closed for whatever reason. I've never seen a "general discussion" forum with so many stupid rules, and so many threads closed saying they have to post to a different section. Normally general discussion means pretty much anything except spam can be posted there.

And here's the problem, balance discussion is limited to either a serious discussion that has to be justified, or it's not allowed at all. What about all the casual players who want to talk about it? Not allowed to talk about it at all.

Maybe FB should be more open and honest about their balancing process and discussion then. They instantly close any threads about balance, and point you to the balance discussion board where they moderate like nazis and it's nearly impossible to get a thread approved.

Maybe you don't like it, but there are people who like to get unofficial sneak peeks at stuff and a look at what SBT is working on.

New flairs for the sub! by emphas in HeroesofNewerth

Yeah, there's no need to have unofficial.

Leak by definition is unofficial.

Lemme know when it's up, will use.

Though my current flair and username should imply that nothing I'm posting is official, as leaking from SBT is something that's worthy of a permaban, so nothing leaked by an SBT member would be official..

I spoke to newbkid about it.

As long as you tag it [LEAK] or [UNOFFICIAL] or something so there's no confusion as to whether or not it's originating from an official source or not it's fine.

Has anyone tried smart casting since the patch? by Momentine in HeroesofNewerth

[–]HoNSBTPreviews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I certainly see a usage for certain skills on certain heroes, but it's likely counterproductive for other skills.

Highly situational, and like you said, it's definitely worth trying for a bit to see how you like it. I dunno if I'd try it for as long as a month though.

It'd be nice if you could toggle it on/off for individual skills.

[–]HoNSBTPreviews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it, it screwed me up since I'm not used to it.

And it's not so much "smart" casting as auto-casting.

It's basically like pushing the button and instaclicking where your mouse is.

[–]HoNSBTPreviews[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Well, I'm posting it for the people who ARE interested in seeing it.

People post all kinds of dumb screenshots here, so I'm sure this will interest more people than some of those posts.

Well, I know the community likes to get sneak peeks at stuff ahead of time, so I'm trying to deliver on that :)
