TEST the new hero, play on test client this weekend! *screenshots inside*
Posted by Skeith Labels: News
2 New Heroes coming very soon. This is Balphagore and our community designed and voted upon strength hero. That is one big fist! From Heroes of Newerth Facebook
Hey guys, we've got a test client build going with *some* changes to match making (more coming), a new hero, and some other balance tweaks.
We're like to schedule a match making test for 5/5/2010 at 3pm PST (-8 GMT). Please download the test client and login at that time. The test server will be up tonight, but we'll be taking it down tomorrow until the test begins.
The test client can be located here:

Please note that many gameplay changes in these test clients are not final and should not be discussed outside of our test client feedback forum. We need 'warm bodies' to test match making, so if you don't have time to give feedback that's OK, but if you are interested please join us on IRC to obtain information as to how to access the private beta-beta forum.
