DOTA anyone?

stoofoo · Jul 2009

A friend of mine is one of the owners of S2 games...and they have been working on a game that is pretty much an exact replica of dota, but standalone. I have some beta keys for any of you kids who actually played DOTA? Would be good to have some more sensible players!

aesir · Jul 2009

Maliken? or was it Malkien. Makilin. damn...

I have a friend who plays it a shitload, but i don't really. dont have the time either. I'll give the key to my buddy if you want though?

dfacto · Jul 2009

I am so up for that shit it's not even funny. PM me one if you can, thanks.

I still play DOTA to this day, only on wc3 though not tft. Love the game so much. I always wondered if anyone would make a DOTA game seen as it was such a big hit, kinder buzzing someone is.

I know I'm still new here, but if there's any spare I would love to try the beta, im definatly a hardcore dota player and would even make love to you for a beta key lol. Cheers.

Oh hell yeah! Funny you mention this, a co-worker just sent me a link to the preview shots the other day and it looks awesome.

DOTA is the only way I kept in touch with some of my friends from college

I'm definitely interested.

Kovac · Jul 2009

Sweet! PM sent, sir.

IEatApples · Jul 2009

Just watched the video of the game play, looks very good indeed.

Got a HoN beta key somewhere else, was digging the updated interface, graphics, etc, but cannot stand the community. Last game I played I got to hear one person call everyone fags and the other one just repeat "shut the fuck up" every 2 minutes even when no one is making any noise.

I don't know what it is about this game that attracts the worst playerbase.

Here are three keys up for grabs:

I'm in, dude. I'm from the Philippines and DOTA is the number one game played here, specially by college and high school students. It's gameplay is so addicting. :thumbup:

Martin Henriksson · Jul 2009

Definately interested in this one. If anyone wants to share a key that would be awesome :P

exactly this.

the only place for harsh communities is polycount, it has no place in a commercial product

I'm really enjoying this game though.

dfacto · Jul 2009

Got a key from a friend and... this game is sick. With balancing to iron out some imbalanced characters it'll be a total blast, with a lot more potential than DoTA. As is it's still fun as hell, although there are some skill oddities that can end up killing you in seconds, especially when playing against Jereziah, who is a motherfucker of the highest degree.

And the community seems fine actually, better than b.net in any case. Better by a LOT. I haven't been called a noob by any rage-quitting idiots yet at least.

JDinges · Jul 2009

Would love a key if anyone has an extra.. Dota was awesome fun back when I played it. I can imagine this is going to take it to the next level.

Mefix · Jul 2009

okkun · Jul 2009

love to check it out if anyone has a key

stoofoo · Jul 2009

PM me your email address and i can send invites to a few. As many as I have, anyway.

oXYnary · Jul 2009

So does this make me God if I can actually touch one of the servers these are on?

eld · Jul 2009

so while we play this game, you're rubbing yourself against the server?

oXYnary · Jul 2009

How did you think online games worked? You have to get the static electricity from somewhere..

bearkub · Jul 2009

It must be posted!

stoofoo · Sep 2009

Have a bunch more keys of anyone wants them.

moose · Sep 2009

been playin a little bit, its pretty fun! some cool stuff! I suck at it, but the number of characters, items, combinations, strategies is just staggering.

stoofoo · Sep 2009

Well, currently most of those items heros and strategies are directly ripped out of DOTA.

Add Dumptruck to your friends list and say hi when you are on, you jerk!

Murdoc · Sep 2009

I've been saying someone should just take DOtA and make it a game, because War3 is getting a bit dated.

Would love a key as soon as internet at home gets hooked up(thursday?); I was a serious pain in the ass kel'thuzad to the point where I think he might have been a noob class, but whatever, strength in numbers is what I say.

AtlusZMH · Sep 2009

I'd be down for a key if you wanna PM me one.. i love dota haha

stoofoo · Sep 2009

If you want a key you need to pm me your email address.=O

eld · Sep 2009

haha, this game is still being awesome, I think I've hit over a hundred games now.

killingpeople · Sep 2009

someone should ask tarwater, he was mad at that game.

brandoom · Sep 2009

I've been playing HON for a few weeks now. Its really fun and enjoyable.. more so when your on a team that knows what they are doing. The graphics are 'tight' and fairly smooth gameplay. Definitely a game to check out

Murdoc · Sep 2009

Jesus, I have to say this game is probably the most demoralizing experiance I've had this year.

I've played Dota before and did pretty well, but I didn't live and breath it, so I don't really know every hero that seems to be the Dota counterpart, I see spells that remind of of heros and items that sound like things I used to get, but I'm totally lost in this one.

Too many items, too many numbers and abreviations that I have no clue what the mean, even the load screen actualyl numbers who loads first, second, third, etc... to make you feel like crap for having a crap computer.

I understand its for the Dota hardcore, but tried a few games and only had people yell at me for doing something wrong, which I have no idea what that was or just continually die from something in a split second, again no idea how someone the same level as me could do that.

So yeah, it's Dota, but I think Dota was a lot more kind to me then this, hehehe, community seems to be full of pricks too.

danshewan · Sep 2009

I scored a key for HoN about three weeks ago, but haven't bothered with it so far. Downloading the beta client now to see what the fuss is about. Never played DotA, so will be a new experience for me.

eld · Sep 2009

Murdoc, there are quite alot of assholes in the game, and it has quite a learningcurve, I know, since I never played dota :P

DOTA anyone?
