ppl like you make me angry.
Screenshots could be 2 years old for all we know.
Trailer are awesome. ( it is in-game engine .. not CG )
If you don't know the difference i highly recommend you google it.
..
You know what.. go get a piece of paper and write everything you don't like about DotA2
And tune in to the DotA2 stream and read your piece of paper and realize how stupid your assumptions were.

Please get rid of that habit..

And also, I'm gonna tell you this before you do these stuffs.
Never ever ever write MOBA or Champion on a DotA forum.

Thats all.

Edit: I'm having a justin bieber problem. never say never, haha

I just wrote MOBA and champion

I hope DotA 2 can give the same feelings that happened when I played DotA.

Nice schedule. Can't wait. I'll probably wake early tomorrow morning to look it up.

Also about the free to play thing... who cares if it's not free? What kind of question is that why does it matter since when do they make games for free what is this algiasdgiadaaaaa?

Free or not I'm playing it and if you're too cheap to pay then you're missing something.

come on what? English is not my native language.
I am not judging that the game will be good from watching the teasers/screenshots.. its because i believe in Icefrog ( whom i've respected for 4 years )
Saying something is bad just from 5% is just a plain bad habit. I asked nicely, not insulting him or ath.

Haha, I really wish people made more movies out of trailers. These things have pretty good quality, Go Go Go Valve Film Studio!

Other than that, I'm excited for Dota2, and yes let's make sure TL is a force in that community ^_^.

Getting pretty hyped up for this. Makes me feel like theres something to look forward to now that SC2 (at least in my eyes) has lost its luster.

I would bet you that it's not going to be free to play. I mean...why would it be?


Because if they don't then they have lost the fight for the MOBA genre right then and there. If people are gonna have to fork over 30 or 50 euro to play Dota 2 then it's not gonna be able to put a scratch on LoL.

Valve has been experimenting with free to play models. This can be most clearly found in how they made Team Fortress 2 free to play.

A lot of people expect it to be a f2p game wich will make it's money off extras. Whilst TF2 has it's hats, DOTA2 might have skins for champions. I doubt it will sell champions like LoL did, but that could also happen, albeit less likely.


All of that said i am not sure if they are gonna go F2P but they should if they want to stand a chance. Self reflection is a rare trait in any gamer so don't expect many DOTA fans to be able to stomach this, but if DOTA2 is not free to play it will lose out to LoL in player numbers by a massive margin.

EA wants a piece of the moba cake too btw:



Comments like "not sure if serious" and "lol" are appropriate for this video.

Sorry if re-post:

What we are asking is simple: All we want is that approximately one day in advance you issue a "changelog" where we can see any hero, item, and gameplay changes that have been made so we can fully understand and enjoy everything about the tournament.




There isn't any changelog really, we've kept it up to date with the latest version of dota. Our intention is that there are no major differences, but of course the game is still in beta development.

There are relatively minor changes primarily around fixing unintended bugs, like how the tower AI sometimes ignores Bat Rider completely (only partially fixed in dota1 recently), or Phase Boots causing critical strikes and bash to malfunction while active. Another example of a bug fix from dota1 to 2 is Maelstrom proc chance never working if you did not issue an attack order explicitly. We will eventually make changes in Dota2 (remakes, new content, etc), but when we do that it will be when you guys are actively playing it and seeing/testing the changes directly.

As the tournament is being played, I'll do my best to clarify things whenever it is needed and as time allows.
