Herofall FAQ & Live Q&A Session

A new set can often feel like the great unknown. And while it can be an exciting adventure to figure out how everything fits together, it does pay to come prepared with a map. We have released a Herofall FAQ for those who want all the details on what Herofall can do. In addition, we will be having a live Q&A on our forums today where you can ask all your mechanics questions to HEX staff. If you’ve ever wondered why playing Reginald Lancashire with Poet of Gla’aki is a bad idea, we can help!

Speaking of Q&As…

Introducing “AskHEX!”

We hope you are enjoying everything Herofall has to offer! While you’re busy cracking open those packs, let us introduce you to a new series, AskHEX.

It’s 2016 and pretty much everyone knows what “AMA” stands for and how they work. Even President Obama joined Reddit for one a few years ago. We wanted to give you the opportunity to ask away as well and thought about a good format for our own version of an “Ask Us Anything.” Having a real-time question-and-answer session poses a challenge as we are effectively working across a time difference of 9 hours. How could we allow for everyone to get their questions in while the person they’re after is fast asleep?

So, we settled on an asynchronous format: You ask, we gather the questions and answer in bulk!

The way it works is we will open up a forum thread here.

Join this thread and ask anything you like! After about a week, we will collect all your questions and do our best to answer as many questions as we can. Sound fun?

Make sure you post by Saturday, 9/17 for a chance to have your question selected.

A few points to keep in mind:

We are open to personal questions as long as they remain civil and the individual feels comfortable answering.

We won’t (and can’t!) commit to release dates or schedules. Development being what it is, we would rather ship features when we feel they are ready, not when “it’s the 30th.”

Beyond that, feel free to ask anything to the team members at HEX Entertainment and Gameforge.

Tournaments Galore

Our Cosmic Crown Showdown is happening this weekend! Whether you are there to cheer on your friends or to root against your enemies, these next couple of days are going to be all about high-level HEX!





Speaking of, the fourth tournament of the FiveShards Shard Cup Tournament Series happens this September 11th, 2016 at 9:00am PT (17:00 CET). Compete in this constructed tournament (that breaks to a Herofall draft for the top 8) for over 250 boosters in prizes and to earn points to qualify for the lucrative Cup of Fate. You can register for the tournament in client under the tournament screen and will be called “Community Tournament!” For more details, check out the tournament announcement on the FiveShards website.

HEX Charity Stream

We also have our annual charity stream coming soon! If you haven’t stopped by the forums recently, our fantastic HEX community has been hard at work preparing non-stop entertainment beginning from 5pm (PDT) on Wednesday 14th of September. We will have giveaways, guests, and a good time as we rally together and raise some money for sick children. Make sure you check the original thread for the full story!

That’s all for this week. Please leave any questions or comments in the forums, and don’t forget to Follow us on Twitter, Like us on Facebook, and Follow us on Twitch.
