Re: Dota 2 - Game Thread

Hi guys i got an invite yesterday.

i got an email from steam that i'm invited and now basically its been added to my steam account.
now of course i will do the download at night since its free quota

i started it yesterday but it was really slow for some reason (i'm on 8 Mb connection )

so hopefully it will finish tonight.
is it worth it and is there anything i need to know ? i played old dota on wc3 for a few months and i play RTS like sc2 .

thx !!

why you are getting invites guys?

Re: Dota 2 - Game Thread

I used to play dota 1 for over 6 years, and got really excited when i got my dota 2 invite, after downloading...epic disappointment. the graphics are blurry, after i adjusted the rendering quality, it's still not that much better, it's not blurry anymore, but i just can't seem to get used to the looks of it.
It's like it's very zoomed out, i can never tell which hero is which without clicking on it, and don't understand anything in battles.
i just played 2 games, maybe i need to give it some more time....
But in my opinion, if the game is good you don't need to get used to it to enjoy it, you should just enjoy it from the moment you start.

I agree at first the game looks very disappointing but it really grows on you!

They redesigned the whole system from what I can see and it's much, much more convenient how you can buy items now by just typing a part of the name or by right-clicking and it gathers the components for you.

Give it few more tries, it deserves it ;)

Re: Dota 2 - Game Thread

Heyy!!

I have received my invite a week ago... downloaded fine through Steam client.
I am a DoTa player since version 5, stoped around 6.4x, played LoL then went for HoN. i must say, HoN graphic-wise and Gameplay experience is truly nice... specially graphics!
LoL is much more diverse, but the gameplay killed me! way too slow :S
After i ran DoTa 2, the interface was quite nice... went into my first game, was REALLY glad to find most of Dota heroes already, but was kind of disapointed with gameplay/graphics... gameplay was closer to Lol, and graphics where abit too... 'normal'
Although! they have a new system, every game u play, u have a chance to win some kind of custumization item for a random hero i.e: helm for Sven

its still Beta... even WoW in beta was crappy... lets hope for the best!

the graphics are fine and great, but outdated, this game should have been released 4 years ago, not in 2013, no matter how many games i play i stand by my statement, the interface is also adopted from other games and outdated, i see nothing original in the game besides the new sounds which are great.

LONE DRUID (Sylla bear) is just IMBA once you've reached core items for him and his bear...

Every Hero is IMBA when you've reached core items and especially if you're feeded

i used to game before i learned how to talk....
seriously? after 2 years of work (Octobre 2012) and nothing to invent, just reproducing the original game, thats the graphics of a long waited game in 2012 ? ...
well man, I don't know about you, but i found it a bit bad... but as i recall, HoN started same way... alot of improvment were made, so i guess updating, and final release version/2.0/3.0 etc... will surely bring improvment... am sure graphics updates are on the agenda, they are just tryng the functionality of the game now...
hopes high!
Let's get it on!

Re: Dota 2 - Game Thread

You have both Dota 2 and Dota 2 Test. Of course you have to play the Dota 2 and not the test. I play everyday, average waiting time for match making is about a minute

Re: Dota 2 - Game Thread

I'm playing also every day but its really hard to play with some random people.

I just never pick support anymore due my team's usual endless feeding :(

If anyone would like to team along, let me know via PM so we exchange steam IDs.

Re: Dota 2 - Game Thread

You need to be careful, if people report you or you leave the game without it being safe to leave, you will get into the low priority pool, which will make your waiting time longer, wont earn you any account experience, nor get you any item at the end of the game. you get in the low priority pool for 24 hours for every game left early
