Dota 2 - Steam

[Snot man]

I'd consider getting one. Did your purchase consist of the original or was it the free copy which comes with it.

It was the friend invite, so only got it for me I'm afraid!

Argh. Lol. Well I guess I'll watch the inbox or ebay perhaps although ebay is empty atm.

I am currently in the beta of Dota 2 but coming from LoL it seems incredibly difficult to adjust as its so much more fast paced and unforgiving. i did play Dota before LoL and have also played HoN a little but it seems faster than all these other games to me.

im having the same problem :/
i found this blog helpfull

I came from quite a competitive HoN background, and it feels nigh on identical in pace. That said, I havnt played HoN in ages, which may be a good thing.

Just had a pub stomp in my favour, good picks, good comms, good ganks, good control all around.

If anyone has a spare key i would be really grateful, I have been playing on a friends steam account whilst he is away and its AWSOME!!!

This down for anyone else? Game loads fine but the gate thing just stays closed..

edit: nvm its back up.

Me and 2 of my friends play this, we looking for a few other ppl from UK to play with. We just started a few months and we just play for fun, but obviously like to win a few! Add me on steam if your up for a game its shootermcg.

Is this game on release yet, or is in the Beta Stages. If so is it too late to get hold of a Key?

Still in beta and keys are rare. Have friends who signed up for the draw on steam/playdota 8-9 months ago still without a key.

 

[clartymarty]

Ah right lol so is there a release date for this then?

 

[topdog@OC]

Ah it's not just me then, the way they blog it, it's like they're throwing keys around like candy and need more to sign up. #stillwaiting

 

[clartymarty]

release date?

There is no release date confirmed yet.

I've just signed up for this. I've sunk a bit of time into LoL (level 23) and will be interested to find out how this differs.

I am going to be siging up to this too but hold out on HoN and LoL

Quite a bit, Download and play HoN whilst you wait for a beta key, HoN shares quite a bit with Dota 2(some heroes and items are the same) Also the play style is much the same between HoN and DoTa 2 (Dota 2 feels a lot more balanced than either lol or HoN).

 

[ThomBassmonkey]

Ok thanks, I'll take a look.

How do you sign up for Dota 2 Beta Key

 

[alastair84]

i don't think u can anymore. playdota give away 180 keys a day in a draw....you could enter that?
