Right only 3/6 people claimed their key from me in giveaway thread, think i still have 4-5 more so feel free to add me if you want one.
 
Dota actually has a turning animation.

Juking is much better/skillful, not that running into that silly long grass stuff.

I don't know what you mean by most people don't know of, people who have never played dota or have? Anyone who has played a good few games of Dota will realise items aren't all just all passive stuff or very weak use abilities, they actually are complete fight changers, skills do a lot more, trees can be destroyed etc. There are so many small differences that have huge effects it would be hard to list them all.
 
Are you still interested in doing this Purdy?

I have been giving my keys away and people want to learn how to play. That ^^ seems like the best way to do it, if we could get a big group going.

I'd be happy to be a captain on one team.

Also we could try and get some in houses going. Only so many times I can solo queue at times would be nice to play with some ocukers!

Yeah unfortunately the interest seems limited in the thread and the main people we would get together are regulars.

Even if we can't get 10 we could at least get some people off reddit/teamliquid chat who need help/are willing too.

If you haven't added me on steam yet, do between now and saturday and I'll see what numbers we can come up with.

So far it'd be me+clearly+josh(I think he'll play) and you two guys.

MY STEAM - http://steamcommunity.com/id/purdy8
 
I love this game, but it is ruined by Russians who 1. Don't communicate at all or 2. Just generally suck.

They have their own servers so why do they have to come on the EU servers, it's really annoying.

Every game I had yesterday was ruined by 2-3 Russians on the team who didn't work as part of the team.

Pretty much, usually they are either pretty damn good, or most of the time they suck and ruin the game (be it through play/insulting people/not listening), honestly wish their IPs were banned from our servers, an absolute chore playing with them nobs.
 
I was sure I changed that -_-, will try now.

EDIT: sure you're looking at right group? Few people have joined and I've invited no one
 
I'll join, can help captain a team too if needs be. As said though, I'm not up for teaching the basics. The mechanics of how to play should be learnt in bot games.

Indeed, people should also have read some of the stuff linked in the OP or at least found their own material. Showing up having never played/read about the game at all will be very hard to make it enjoyable for everyone.



Anyone interested in tonight around 22:00 GMT?
 
Despite getting man handled in the games I played was fun playing with 5. Randomness of random modes sucks though :p

Good games
 
anyone having problems with servers? sometimes randomly, ill just receive no packets from the server, get a 30second timer in the top right, and DC from the game. Multiple reconnects later MAYBE i will get back in.

If i leave the game, i dont get abandonment... Happens on any server, USW, USE, Europe. (ever since the EU W and EU E patch).

BT infinity
spec of PC is fine, i have 500 games played no problems till the last week.
Checked integrity of Dota2 all fine.
Does not happen in NS2 or DayZ.

Seems a mass issue currently mate, maybe you've already seen this but - http://dev.dota2.com/showthread.php?t=44943

Keep an eye on it and see if there is any update on how to fix it.


Anyone up for some games tonight?
 
Ah yeah I've got you, need to put you in my OcUK Dota group :p, trading makes a mess of your friends list.

Would be cool if we got a small team going and see if there are small tournaments to enter.
