    actually gonna play a game now and i notice the 'top live matches' feature, it's deadly, shows player names, what hero they are and how many towers are alive on each side.

    other games may have this but ive not seen it.


    what hero should i be :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 966 ✭✭✭GO_Bear


    Tar you got in already ???? when ?? Gibe Beta key plx Huehuehuehuehue


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,075 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    nah im not in, an administrator of a dota2 site is letting me play a game or three on his account. I've been SK and tide so far :)

    takes forever to find a game, as so few people have teh beta....this game has been searching for 8 minutes so far, longest yet!


  • Registered Users Posts: 966 ✭✭✭GO_Bear


    Don't troll me like that Tar its not nice :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,531 ✭✭✭Drakar


    You can watch people playing streams too if you're suitably bored. There's a few commentators on it too past few months. www.solomid.net/livestream.php?s=37904#90645:joinDOTA
    is one (may not be live right now, pick out other dota streams as opposed to the League of Legends streams on the right).

    I normally watch the Sunsfan and Xenocide ( GHLF ) stream, as they also streamed in HoN.

    http://streamdota2.com/ When they are broadcasting they are there


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,909 ✭✭✭SeantheMan


    I was honest in that I'd never played DOTA 1, Skill level 0 , hopefully they'll let me in as a noob :P as they're looking for a wide range of testers

    True that, I am sure the testing they got done over the last month was mostly the pro's they gave keys to test with, and staff / friends of staff.

    I took it but it assumed I had actually played Dota before. I've only ever played one game and I don't remember what hero I played as so I couldn't answer any of the questions in the second part. Do they not want new players in the beta? You'd think that'd be important feedback.

    Im sure they want all sorts.

    Ha. Does show how many I think, not sure


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,229 ✭✭✭Dreddybajs


    No keys, sorry. Gave them to a couple of mates and I've a few more promised if I get any more.

    Yeah it shows how many are online, about 800ish or so but only around 30 people queueing in Europe, about the same in NA.


  • Registered Users Posts: 966 ✭✭✭GO_Bear

    i5 2500k and Radeon HD6870 here, so not that ****ty no. :pac:

    I doubt the survey mattered much, but said I had 500+ hours and games of DotA played, 100 heroes played, 50~ hours of other of those types of games, and answered the item and gold questions as best I could but I could've been way off. Had Lich, Lycan, AM, Pudge, and CM as 5 favourite heroes.
