IlPalazzo Wrote:The faster pace is the crux of why most players who play HB like this mode. This means, that although temporary windows will close more quickly, the game transitions more quickly such that new ones will open to replace them. If the DevTeam cannot agree this is good thing, or even acceptable, in a fast-paced mode, then providing suggestions for an alternative may not be possible. :|
The Problem is not the "faster pace" in general, it's rather "which pace is possible without making it too easy to ignore certain gameplay stages (like how easy it is with which pace to play start tank->demon for example)?".
Quote:This pretty much umbrellas under one problem: creeps in HB are terribly weak compared to their tank/weapon counterparts. If creeps upgraded at shorter intervals (and possibly the maximum creep upgrades increased), then it would likely undo most of the unbalance found in this mode affecting creeps and upgrade-dependent weapons.
You forgot the xp which needs to be adjusted, but otherwise yes - I allready emphasized this in the internal discussion about possible hb alternatives.
