Nase Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 at the same rate, the life bar segments will remind every noob lina not to waste her burst on that fed bristleback. so while mana is obscured, focusing your dmg will be way easier in the heat of the battle. from my experience, failure to focus dmg is the 2nd most significant factor for losing games (right after lacking map awareness/TPs). i really don't get it. i liked those life bars when i first saw them but by now i think they're way too analytical!

Tensei Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 keys are going out keys are going out keys are going out If you signed up for the beta you should've gotten an e-mail with a link to a survey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Derrit Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) will someone please give me one of their invites you'll be my bff on the internet Edited November 1, 2011 by The Derrit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensei Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I think you can do the survey even if you didn't get an e-mail though. Then again, everyone in the beta gets 2 extra keys so it probably won't be that hard to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dhsu Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I hope the hours played in other Action RTS games counts for something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Derrit Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 has there been any indication on when these keys will go out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensei Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 The blog post says this week, and patch days are on thursdays, so somewhere around that time I guess. Then again, it is Valve we're talking about. Also I just copied my HoN stats for that survey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Yeah I was doing that until I saw the "hours played in other Action RTS games" and I was like buhhhh... I did pick my favorite heroes based on HoN versions though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemophiliac Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Yeah, 3 of my favorites do not have HoN equivalents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Derrit Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 i just picked the heroes i remembered playing from the original dota, tiny most specifically tiny's fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensei Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Yeah Tiny is one of the biggest pubstomp "fuck you now you die"-heroes in the game, he's hilarious. Also, throwing your teammates so they can stun/explode on the enemy team is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensei Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) I just got my beta key! I got two spare ones to give out as well, so I guess I'll give one to Derrit since he indicated in this thread that he wanted one earlier.

Tensei Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 HOLY SHIT THIS GAME LOOKS SO GOOD. I only played a quick bot game because I really should be asleep but damn. Looking forward to games tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardicKnowledge Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) I just finished a practice match of Dota2. First impressions: -Shop interface is better than the WC3 engine but still _sucks_ compared to HoN or LoL. This needs work badly -Framerate doesn't seem as smooth as HoN / LoL -- this may be because they are trying to emulate DotA1 exactly, but also needs fixing before release, since it makes the game look aged in comparison. Everything else seems perfect. Gameplay rocked, I won 3v5 by raping some serious face with Tiny, letting my Antimage get so fed it was ludicrous. Really looking forward to playing it as development continues. Edit: Tensei is right -- the game looks like a freaking dream. It plays excellently also, and tomorrow I am going to be playing a ton on my day off as soon as Tensei is free.

The Derrit Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 so i played a few bot games and my conclusion is DAMN its been awhile since i played dota the map is much larger, and it is much easier to lose track of your map awareness. i did pretty terrible mostly due to the fact that i didn't pay close enough attention in the earliest levels and someone would come up and kill me, but by my last game with sand boy i was getting things done, killing and supporting the team like i was supposed to be. i think the shop interface is a little wonky compared to what i'm used to but its just what you're used to, by the 3rd game i knew where to find what i was looking for no problem. i also got chop, but i think that's latency; i could be wrong but that's what it looked like to me. overall i'm really excited about this game. now just to do some research on a couple champs so i know how to build intelligently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tensei Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) I think the low FPS might be because it hasn't really been optimized yet, but it ran mostly smooth for me. Shop could use some improvements and could definitely be a bit more like LoL (+hotkeys), but overall it didn't bother me that much. Hearing Tinker say "We have established the melting point of Crystal Maiden" in a Dr. Kleiner voice after lasering her cracked me up.
