FAQ

What is the War Effort?

The War Effort is a new in-game quest system for Heroes of Newerth that rewards players for completing daily objectives.

When does the War Effort begin? How long does it last?

The first War Effort cycle begins January 28. War Effort CYCLES will typically last for 28 Days.

Who can participate in the War Effort?

The War Effort is open to everyone! Begin your journey by logging in and playing today!

What are reputation points?

Reputation points are the War Effort's "currency" that can be exchanged for goodies. Once a player has accumulated enough points they may open their reward.

What kind of rewards can I earn?

War Effort rewards range from silver coins to prestigious Trophy Hero avatars that are reserved for recruits that complete the most quests throughout the season (top 50, as determined by the War Effort's leaderboard).

The final reward during a cycle will be The Treasure of Champions, which contains a War Effort exclusive product.

How do I open my rewards?

At the beginning of each War Effort Cycle, players will accumulate a satchel or chest at the rate of one (1) per day. Players can hold up to five at once.

Once enough reputation points are earned, that satchel or chest can be opened, thus freeing up another slot (a new satchel or chest will appear the DAY after a new space becomes available).

Up to fourteen (14) satchels or chests can be opened with reputation points during the course of one War Effort Cycle.

What exclusive avatars can be earned during War Effort Cycles?

These will be introduced at the beginning of every cycle.

Featured Avatar (obtained by opening The Treasure of Champions)

Trophy Avatar (obtained by completing the most quests during the first cycle — top 25 players)

What games are eligible for quest completion?

Quest eligibility is available to any player vs player games on official matchmaking servers. Players will have to challenge their peers on various maps and modes to maintain their rankings on leader boards. To maintain the integrity of the competition, we've disabled the eligibility for public games and bot matches at this time.

How do quest rewards affect my sub-accounts?

Each sub-account will have its own respective quests for completion similar to existing match rewards. Just as sub accounts share access to your gold and store vault, so will all rewards obtained from the bags. Bag completion progress will also be shared across all accounts. If you find yourself not enjoying particular quests on one account, you can always jump to another for more options.

Will my sub-accounts appear on the leader boards?

Just as each individual sub-account has its own matchmaking rating and statistics, so will its completion count towards the competitive leader boards.

When does the Quest Leaderboard update?

The quest leaderboard will update every two hours.

Where is the leaderboard located?

The quest system's leaderboard is located in the top right corner of the War Effort's in-game user interface, to view, simply click the red "ladder" button.

What if I don't like my quests?

If you are unsatisfied with the quests available, you may elect to "re-roll" one per day. There is a "re-roll" icon located on each quest.

How do I stay updated with The War Effort Cycle's and prizing?

Available prizes for The War Effort's first Cycle can be found on Heroesofnewerth.com/thewareffort. Information regarding future cycles will be located in the patch notes at the start of each cycle.
