HoN goes Free to Play :P

[risklight]

Nope. What I'm saying is, wala'y point e compare nimo ang duha. Wala'y point nga muana ka nga nag F2P ang HoN coz lupig sila sa sales sa LoL. And palihug lang basaha akong post ug balik, then ingna ko asa dapit nga nisulti ko nga top-selling game ang HoN and ni sunod sila sa TF2. Basis ra ang TF2 bai para ma void ang point na imong gi-stress nga mag F2P ang game kay nalugi na (or nalupig sa sales).

I play HoN but I'm not a fan (I can live a year without it, never bought shells and other shit), and also I don't hate LoL. Maglagot lang ko'g mga ingon ani nga post, mura man ug gibayran ka ug 1 million sa Riot Games para ipanawng sa amo nga mas nindot ang LoL over HoN.

Both games have different gameplay and stuff, and both are great games, so suporta ta.

haha i'm sure lupig sila sa sales why? if u say that they are making more on microtransaction then why make it free to play? u can always be a pay to play game and have microtransactions inside db? ok lets look at this another way ha if HoN is beating LoL in sales in terms of microtransaction and account sales will they be f2p today? i think not but its just my opinion ha

yes u played HoN but have u played LoL and at least get to a decent lvl like lvl 20?

kahibaw ka pila ang player base sa HoN? compare sa player base sa LoL? let say it is because its free to play sige2 naa ka point ani but did u ever consider how Riot games tend to cater 500k players on their server if their resources are limited doesnt generate a enough money for server and staff salary

btw

i've answer your question about if sure ko na gicopy nila ang marketing strategy sa LoL


lets just face the facts na ang S2 kay walay originality :P

E compare lang gihapon nato sa TF2, since mao2x man sila'g business model. Mas dako man gyud sila'g kita sa Mann Co. Store (in-game items) compared sa sales sa game itself, ngano nag F2P man sila? Because, more people mutry sa game because it's free na, more people nga ma hooked into the game, sooner or later a fraction of these people would want to buy items in game. Profit!

Yep tried it, and wala ko'y lalis sa playerbase, ibutang lang nato nga sakto ka, lisod e compare coz F2P ang LoL from the start. But wait, consider what?

Spoiler!

Bisan wala pa nisugod ang LoL ug buhat ana bai, klaro ra gihapon mao na'y padulngan sa duwa. Mao ang point nga ako gipasabot, not because nisugod ang LoL ug buhat ana makasulti na dayon ta nga sila nag una. Pero sige ako nalang nang ihatag nimo, LoL ilang gisunod, sila raman pud duha sikat sa ilang genre. Mao na na'y fad these days, real money for cosmetics and add-ons. Devs milking the shit out of the games. Bisag CAPCOM gani, they sell costume packs for Street Fighter 4. Imagine!

Hasul na kaau ang HON ron oi daghan nag mga SPY og QUITTERS zzz

[Dondon]

Either play with your friends, or Matchmaking. Although sa pub 1550+ wala man kaayo quitters. Sa 1400-1550 daghan.

Its not because LoL went free to play... its because hapit na ang DotA2 unya ilaha nang gipang rack-up mga players.

[phi7ip]

kanus.a d.i release ang dota2 excited na kaau mi ana da

[slugonice]

Too little, too late.

Dota 2 is already in the horizon.

It might make a lot of LoL players switch but ultimately, all roads lead to Dota 2.

TF2 and LoL have different marketing strategy if you're saying its all about models2 you're wrong if theres a game that have a same or similar to LoL's marketing strategy that would be cabal.


nice find sa screen shot that was when servers are down and u didnt even bothered to try out LoL that notice is just in LoL NA and EU care to tell me how did u bypass the IP block?


i'm 100% sure na gicopy nila ang marketing strategy sa LoL its not only about the alternative models its how the made the game's life span longer HoN now has a free hero rotation like what LoL has why? cause u need to unlock heroes now like in LoL with in game rewards after games u played but u can always go unlock it using real money don't tell me CAPCOM has that marketing strategy in ssf4 now?

all of my post have basis comparing both games whats happening in game and it community ikaw? HoN side ra man ang imu diba cause u havent even tried LoL


now i wonder how will garena incorporate HoN new free to play marketing to its players since free to play naman ang HoN sa garena maybe they will have a heroes rotation sa dili mga nakapremium then if magpremium ka unlock na ang mga heroes para nimu then ang mga muabot na heroes kay magamit sad nimu dayun unlike sa mga free users kay magwait pa ug like 2 weeks not sure but i heard it was like 1 week or 1month sa HoN international
