Sorry for the late update, since the internet connection still sucks in past few days

If you haven't noticed already, there's a new purchasing option available at the in-game store. We call this new feature Player Santa and it allows players to gift away a free copy of items purchased at the in-game shop to one of their friends. Think of it as a buy one, gift one free program. The entire process can be done up to five times and the feature is available to both free-to-play and legacy players. To take advantage of the new gifting feature all you have to do is scrounge around some gold coins, enter your friend's nickname and wait for the system to confirm that your friend hasn't already purchased the item. Once verification is complete both of you will have access to the item.

The promotion does not include subaccounts, stat resets, or nickname change purchases, but think of all those heroes, taunts, announcers, and more that you've been waiting to grab for yourself and enjoy gifting it to your friends who matter most. Opportunities like this only come once a year and it all ends on January 2nd.

Here's a list of clarifications:

[ 0 Comments ] Posted on 12.17.11 in Heroes of Newerth, Uncategorized

The Linux patch will not be out until later today. We are sorry for this, we are going to be fixing it as quickly as we can.

* Valkyrie
* Monkey King
* Gemini
* Chronos
* Swiftblade
* Zephyr
* Engineer
* Fayde

* Parasite
* Thunderbringer
* Wretched Hag
* Martyr
* Puppet Master
* Plague Rider

* Pharoah

- Added a new Taunt: Fist of Sol

- Added a new Keeper of the Forest Alt Avatar: Mother Nature Keeper

- Health Bars for heroes now have Health Pips and glow when you hover over them
* Each small section is 200 Health and each large section is 1000 Health

- New options for colorblind players
* Health Pips or Colorblind options can be turned on and off in the Mod Options section

- /dnd will now ignore mentor/player spectate requests
- You can no longer player spectate or mentor in a Tournament Rules game
- Fixed player count with player spectators/mentors

- For mentors/player spectators, we no longer do:
* PSR checks
* Leaver check
* Verified check
* Private server check


- Hellflower: Can no longer tab to the invisible gadget

- Aluna: Recalibrated Déja Vu timer mechanics to be more accurate with the channel bar in the majority of cases
- Amun-Ra: Fixed Ra's Path of Destruction projectile from going more than 600 range if he gets teleported within the same frame he reaches its cast point
- Cthulhuphant: Fixed his Trample projectile from still going after he dies
- Fayde: Added a check so her Illusions will interact properly with deleted units
- Fayde: Added a death check so if multiple Burning Shadows illusions are present on a unit when the target dies, then the excess illusions attacking that unit all die
- Fayde: Burning Shadows sight gadgets are unable to be tabbed to. Illusions are still selectable via tabbing
- Fayde: Fixed Burning Shadows so Barbed Armor properly returns the damage done to Fayde
- Gemini: Extremely minor tweak to alt avatar animation when walking
- Gemini: Made some effects not play through fog
- Gemini: Fixed teleporting to the wrong place when dying
* Fixes a bug where Gemini drops items that drop on death (ie, Bound Eye) at the killer's feet instead of the pet's feet
- Gladiator: Fixed his invisible gadgets so they can't be tabbed to
- Kraken: Fixed so he stops displacing the target with his Tsunami Charge if he gets unbound from his projectile
- Magebane: Optimized Mana Combustion
- Midas: Updated Elemental Warp's tooltip
- Tundra: Fixed units so they play their idle animation when the stun of Avalanche wears off
