HotS Night 2! My Adventures as a big red demon!

Good Day to you all!


You might find the next couple of posts really focused on blizzards new MOBA. When I play a new game for the first time I become obsessed with learning its in and outs. Blizzard have always had a control over me with their games, always jumping back into Wow whenever I have a itch that needs scratching.

What I love about this game is that it ties mechanics across all of its games into one platform, lets take for example the daily quests that award players with gold (a currency which allows new heroes to be purchased and kept for future games)... Daily quests have always been a big thing thing in the past few years of my travels in Azeroth. Its something not many MOBAs I have played truly utilize offering players this simple bonus for completing a specific quest (mine was to play as a Diablo character for two games), may give players an urge to come back.

What it did do for me was gave me the chance to try out a character which at first had no appeal to me... now playing this character I learnt quickly that no I will not be playing this character again as they didn't suit my play-style.... (A crafty way of saying I died.... LOTS!!!). However with this bonus in mind I felt why not just give this character a bash at least to get the bonus.

Its a nice way of expanding a players knowledge of the universe, adapting their playstyles of characters they may at first had no intention of playing. Not only improving as a player as they grasp new play styles but rewarding a player for their continuous play by getting them that bit closer to getting a new character. GG BLIZZARD!

Daily quests are often found in the social game market for mobile, which is a set of mechanics I have a strong interest for, how do you successfully bring a player back? Little things like this really help in my eyes. My overall opinion of HotS so far is a casual mans MOBA, its lack of items but skills in game allow a new style of play for those (me) that weren't very good but enjoyed league of legends to become good and learn a really easy learning curve in my eyes. The strategic battleground and little quests and kooky challenges in the maps themselves (place gold into a chest and a ghost pirate bombs the players base). really adds to the game and adds a strategic element in which players really have to utilize maps awareness and team work.

My next couple of posts will focus on this lovely game analyzing it in my own way, hoping to make an interesting read for you guys ! (Look forward to many a rage and the depiction of my epics deaths and defeats as I continue my quest!)
