In this HoN interview, Nigma shares to us what S2 is doing and tells us about the future of HoN mods. (modifications)

Choose wise... Scout!

Why has there been such a long delay since the last patch?

As S2Games has moved its office from the Bay Area to Michigan, there has been significant downtime in most fields of operation. Thankfully, the move has finally reached its end and S2 is prepared to start rolling out regular content again. As you can see, we have already started final testing on the latest patch which will include some exciting new content, and we hope to greatly reduce the time between patches starting now.
Content-wise, what is S2's current priority, and what's coming soon?

Currently, S2's next major priority is Team Matchmaking. We are working hard to bring you guys this feature and hope to have it done and delivered as soon as possible.
What's the status of the Report-A-Player feature?

The RAP feature has undergone a major technical and staffing overhaul, and should now be functioning much more smoothly. Having an effective report system is one of our top priorities at the moment, and the RAP system will continue to improve. We also plan to increase the transparency of this feature to help clear up any ambiguity in regards to rule breaking.

Will we see the map editor soon?

The Map Editor is well underway and will be coming soon.
What's S2's position on Modifications? Any Improvements planned? What about Mods that give players unfair advantages?

S2 is aware of the situation regarding modifications, and has come up with a way to solve multiple problems at once. Within the near future, we plan to build an official HoN Modifications Manager which will make it easier for community members to get their modifications out and in the game. This will also help S2 regulate mods which could potentially give players an unfair advantage.
