on reddit
Now, I will show you how to access to the HotS tutorial:

You must have the leaked Alpha build of Heroes of the Storm.
Open StormSwitcher.exe (Support folder)
In the login screen, press F10 or Tab+F10 several times.
Press "Play Tutorial"

Nothing happens when I press F10 or Tab+F10 several times
Do I need to have a specific Login Name/Password?

Hello, I'm Sarchi, the author of that post on reddit which is deleted now...

I've stremead today the hots tutorial on twitch, but my account is deleted now too.

You must to follow that steps, you dont need it anything more... If it doesn't work, I really don't know the reason.

I don't touch options menu or whatever. So... try other key combination for your PC. Hold F10... or F9...

I'm going to sleep, its enough for today... zzZzZz

I tried it, it works. Just played the tutorial myself and had a blast.

works 4 me too) "You can not eat fear, Diablo" LOL

Can someone make a Sandbox out of this, offline-version so we can get into character selection screen and try them out? Think a group called StarFriends did same thing with SC2 once.
This way we can make the game better with more feedbacks to Blizzard when they release the game if we expore more people...

Yeah, like editing current char your playing in tutorial and switching him into someone else to grant those abilities...

[AshleyM]

Wait, shouldn't we have a Heroes of the Storm room in this forum for all HotS-threads? :-S

Added to the Main Thread!

So I guess we can simply change the Map inside the Files
So Tutorial Map gets a Real Map with KI.
I will do some research!

[AshleyM]

Who knows, you maybe could type in commands by hitting Enter-key to get up the Chat... There you maybe can type in different things, like chaning map... We need expert coders/debuggers here now!

I doubt that, I seeked for an Console but nope.

There might be also Launch Parameters like -launch -uid... -map...

Campage 0 - Tutorial.

Mission 1 - Nexus!
Loading Screen: The Storm calls you, James Raynor. Rebel. Commander. Hero of Nexus!


Cutscene:
Raynor: Where the hell am i?
Uther: Thank the Light-- another hero! I am Uther the Lightbringer; I will guide you through the trials of the Nexus.
Raynor: Nexus? So this is a protoss thing?
Uther: No, you see it's... look, there is little time to explain. Powerful enemies are coming for you, and you must be prepared!


Uther: This patch will lead you to me. You can right-click to move there.

Cutscene:
Uther: It seems a ghoul has found you! To attack it, press the "A" key on the keyboard and left-click the ghoul.

Uther: There will be more ghouls on your way yo me. You can see them here on your minimap.
Raynor: Think l'll introduce myself...
Raynor: Did a glowy orb just bust out of that thing?
Uther: A regeneration globe. Move to it and it will regenerate health and mana for both you and your allies bearby.
Uther: You can press the "A" key and left-click the ground to move towards a location and attack enemies you encounter alone the way.
Raynor: What are these monster?
Uther: Undead minons; beings that serve the Demon Lord Diablo.
Raynor: And here i thought l'd seen it all...

Cutscene:
Uther: Nicely done. The gateway before you leads to Raven Court and me.
Raynor: Look, before i go someplace new, i gotta know what i'm getting into... What exactly is this Nexus place?
Uther: The Nexus is a cosmic storm where worlds collide from across time, space and even dimension.
Uther: More and more of us are being called into this enigmatic realm, tested in the forge of combat against others of equal merit.
Raynor: So i'm here to fight things?
Uther: And achieve glory.
Raynor: Okay, simple enough for me... Let's go.

Uther: If you're going to take on Diablo you'll need to make the most of you abilities.
Uther: First, try out your penetrating round against Diablo's indead soldiers.
Uther: That's it! Using your abilities will deal more damage than your basic weapon attacks.
Uther: Nice shot, lad!
Raynor: Oughta try it sometime, Uther. A lot more effective than hitting things with a hammer.
Footman: There's too many skeletons ahead... we've got to retreat.
Raynor: This ain't good. These boys are losing the will to fight.
Uther: Your inspire abillity emboldens both your allies and yourself, allowing them move and attack faster.
Uther: You must inspire these footmen and continue the fight!
Footman: Feels like I can take on the world Charge!
Raynor: Don't get cocky, kid...
Uther: Inspiring your minions will help you defear the skeletons more efficiently.
Diablo: Your newfound bravery will not save you. Your petty lives end here.
Uther: Our footmen are engaging Diablo up ahead. Unlock your camera and take a look.
Uther: That's it. Now scroll the map and let's see what diablo is up to.
Diablo: Burn in hellfire!
Uther: He's injured! How's your time to strike!
Uther: If you prefer, you can return to a locked camera by pressing the "C" key once more.
Diablo: This realm and all the misbegotten souls within it are mine!
Raynor: Not on my watch.
Uther: Diablo plays rough. Use Penetrating Round to knock him away.
Diablo: I will hunt your soul across eternity, James Raynor.
Uther: Well done, lad! But the fight for this realm is not overyet.
Uther: Use your hearthstone to join me at our palace and heal up.

Cutscene:
Raynor: *whistles* Fancy...
Uther: This is our Safe-zone. Heroes start here when a battle begins.
Uther: Our goal is to destriy the enemy's palace while protecting our own from their attacks.
Uther: Both palaces summon minions which travel down this pathway and fight each other in countless waves of combat.
Raynor: Gotcha. Take out Diablo's palace and this fight is over... Easy enough... But, why are we doing this again?
Uther: You know... You really shouldn't think so hard about these things...

Uther: First, head out to the front line.

Cutscene:
Stitches: Stitches want to play!
Uther: Not very wise that one... Attacking a fort by yourself is practically suicide.

Uther: Our minions will help you press towards the enemy palace. Stay behind them and let them soak up damage.
Uther: Enemy towers deal a lot of damage, but they'll always try to kill our minions first.
Uther: Only assault a tower when our minions are nearby.

Cutscene:
Uther: Well done, lad! You have proven yourself worthy.
Raynor: What can i say? I've got a talent for making things explode.
Diablo: Minions and stone are no challenge! Now i will feast upon your terror!
Raynor: Oh yea well... wait, "feast on my terror?" That's twice, man... Look, you can't eat fear or terror. They're emotions...
Stitches: Mmhmm! He right. No taste terror.
Raynor: See? Stinky here gets it.
Diablo: <Frustrated roar> Enough!
Raynor kills.
Raynor: Wait. Dind't i just die?
Uther: Don't worry. within the Nexus death is merely a setback. After a short break, you'll be revived and ready to fight.
Uther: I hope you don't mind if i join you this time. That should even the scales a bit.
Raynor: Not at all, giddy-up, partner!

Uther: Mount up and let's head back into the fight.
Uther: You can dismount by pressing the mount button again.
Uther: That's it. All that remains is the enemy's palace!
Uther: Escape quickly! We will return when we have minions to guard us!

Cutscene:
Raynor: Got anything more to say, fie breath?
Diablo: <Roar> I will have my vengeance, James Raynor. This is not over!
Raynor: Well. this ain't a fair fight!
Malfurion: You shall not stand alone!
Nova: Well, look what the Nexus dragged in... Fancy seeing you here, cowboy.
Raynor: Nova? Now, this place is startin' to feel like home.
Nova: Don't get comfortable... you're in for a bumpy ride.
Raynor: Only kind i ever liked...
Raynor: C'mon Red, let's see what you got! I'm ready for round two.
Diablo: <Roar> I will have my vengeance, James Raynor. This is no over!

[AshleyM]

I hope we can find a way to skip the first Tutorial map... I want to keep playing on second map where the real 5v5 fight begins, but wanna skip first one. Anyone know how?
And if you could change enemy AI (in hotkey options it says something about that u can change that)!

[Ehnoah]

Hotkeys mostly lead your Heroes, I scouted it. Also the UI Editor isn't working =(

[Zyfoh]

For some reason I can't seem to open the Compressed file, it just says that the file is invalid. Anyone knows how to fix it?
