Defence of the Ancients 2 - General discussion(ry.
« on: March 23, 2012, 06:56:46 AM »
The DotA2 thread for general discussions and what ever so on.

Notes:
Currently a halloween event is going on until 12th November. In a nut shell, both teams fight and race for the most candies and get fancy items which normally are pain to get in regular play. Read more on dota2 blog.



DotA2 is the sequel to DotA available on the steam platform and currently free to play*. It is basically classic stuff in a new coat (not entirely true). Either way, the game is still treated as "beta" which disallows anyone from freely entering. To enter you must be either invited by someone who has a DotA2-gift or randomly by luck selected by the DotA2 survey. Filling out this survey grants you chance to enter, although some people get their invites within 2 weeks and some are still waiting. The game has no region lock, so anybody can play anywhere as long as you're fine with the latency.

*Unless you don't want to wait the survey and join by paying



The best beginner guide and other stuff in history (no seriously, read them if you intend to learn the game):
> Welcome to DotA. You suck.
> Ultimate guide to warding
> Character guides from DotA at playdota.com (not newbie friendly due to the WC3 icons)



List of people who wish to reveal themselves on Steam. List shows: <steamname> (forum name if required)
Seems like people keep changing their ingame nicks which makes it hard to detect/update this list. Stop changing you addicts =[

I've played DotA for a couple of years, and yeah, I do have the DotA 2 beta key aswell, I just haven't got time to log onto steam lately. If someone wishes to throw me a friend invite, go on, the link to my ID should be somewhere around my signature's rightmost corner.

However, I've mainly played with friends for the few years I've spent playing this game, and I will probably keep doing it in the future aswell, so I will pick my IRL friends over you people. But of course, if I happen to have time and nothing else to do, I'm always up for some DotA2.

I'm in the Beta as well - Steam profile's in sig.

I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum as most of you though, having very little prior experience with DotA and this type of RTS. So expect me to either spectate most of the time or play other games (especially TF2) instead.

Also, Dr. Kleiner announcer pack...as a Half-Life fan, this is such a great tease.

I have my Dota 2 invite (Steam profile below) but I've never played it. I've never played the original DotA either. And I hate LoL with a passion. And I spend too much time on TF21.

Yeah, don't play with me unless you WANT to lose.

So apparently this is what happens when a hexed character kills someone.



Would add myself, but I'm unable to play it at the moment, I'll add when I can.

Check out Witch Doctor as a chicken!

Anyway, very happy I got invited, now playing Dota 2 whenever I have free time. I do hope they focus on implementing on the yet to be carried over heroes, though.

Yesterday we had a 5v5 in-house Motk match. Though the game was suddenly unexpected one-sided, it was good to have an in-house game. (Game was held around 22:00 GMT+1). The players were:

Panda, Headcrabs, Pesco, Rikter, DrRawr vs Faf (RL friend), Helepolis, Amra, PX, Dorakyura
(see any of these noobs for replay)

Definitely should do this more often imo so please idle/visit #dots-meido and keep an eye on Rinnosuke or Keine list.

Wait, how does the replay function work in DotA 2?

Tonight we plan to hold a in-house 5 vs 5 DotA2 match. Goal is to fool around, have fun and rage at each other while being on TS. Logically due to time-zone issues, we'll have to call it around 22:00 GMT+1 if you can make it there, be on #dots-meido and keep an eye on Rinnosuke.
