I've been in beta of this game for quite some time but right after i got my hands on sc2 beta i completely stopped playing it (4 or so weeks ago)
I decided to check how the beta has progressed now that the sc2 EU servers went down, and i noticed that i have 2 beta invites available, and i thought that it would be nice to share those with this awesome community.
One thing to note is that the game is not in 24/7 beta stage yet, the servers are up from friday 15:00 GMT (+00:00) to monday 19:00 GMT (+00:00)
The game is a bit like MobA (dota, hon, LoL) but it focuses on teamfights, and teamfights only. No items, no creeps, no leveling, no farm, the match consists of X rounds which end when all the members of one team are eliminated (there is CTF and one other mode aswell)
Key differences from moba games are:
You move with WASD
Most of the spells are "aimed" with the mouse, skill-shots that fire where your mouse is pointing at the time, so accuracy and timings is an important skill toi have.
The game is really dynamic and fun, and is easy to learn but hard to master. You also don't need to be forced to stick with a bunch of bad players for an hour, the matches are pretty short.

If you want one of the two keys write in this topic or send me a pm, make sure to mention why do you want a key and why this game might get your interest.
Basically i don't want to give away a key to a person that will "demo" the game for 1 hour and drop it.

I am definitely interested in playing this game. I've been reading the website for a few months now, love the lore and artwork, and played a WC3 mod that sounds very similar to it called "Warlocks."
I love MOBA games and am looking for a change of pace from DOTA style. Definitely will stick with it for a long while if u give me a key!

I'd definitely be interested in trying this out, absolutely love dota/hon/lol (hon the most, had something well over 500 games played before beta ended) and really think taking out the creeping/farming aspect could be good and lessen the boring 45+ min carry farmfests. If you send me a key I have a vent we could use if a couple of guys want to group up  . It would be much appreciated.
EDIT: Just checked out a couple youtube vids of this - 7 skills and no mana, seems like there really could be a lot of strategy involved with dps/healers/tanks, like a sort of WoW arena on steroids. Escape skills really look epic too.

What does Moba actually stand for?

I'd love a beta key if anyone has a spare. Pretty much sick of SC2 and its screwups and im also sick of HoN being stuck with newbs in matchmaking, and how long the games take.
How long do BLC games take on average? Do you think there will be a pro scene for it?

Multiplayer Online Battle Arena.
Its a term that League of Legends started using recently to describe Dota and hero centric gameplay.

One round takes ~3 minutes at most, rated matches are first to 3 (best of 5). Theres gonna be pro scene for sure. However, there is only solo matchmaking at the moment, so dont expect wonders from it (probably fixed teams like in WoW will be added), custom games are available too obv.

This game is actually fun. I was in the first wave of beta keys and it was fun. Almost too hectic but once you know whats going on, it can get very strategic and it comes down to timing and teamwork.

Yeah from what I've seen and heard, I also think it can best be compared to Warlocks.
I'm looking forward to testing this game, looks to be a great game to play competitively, as long as they do a good job with balancing.

i just got a beta key.. There are so few games to join unfortunately =/ every custom one people kick you cause you're new.. and matchmaking you just get owned cause your new also..
Practice matchmaking, theres no one in the queue ever
hard learning curve in this game with no single player practice modes =[
|
i registered a long time ago and didn't get the key ):
|
Ah man, yea that's kinda what I've been worrying about, Skyze. It didn't seem to be very newbie friendly, even to those who've played DotA, LoL, etc.
As far as you know, is there any talk of the beta introducing more features to cater for newer players?
|
Man, I would love to try out this game! I have been keeping an eye on it for quite a while now but they haven't invited me to the beta yet 
If someone could hook me up with a key I would appreciate it.
The gameplay looks so fun but I'm still not sold on the interface and artstyle. Maybe it would grow on me with time. I wish more people knew about this game thou.
|
I would like a key =) This game looks awesome and I haven't paid for the new HoN yet.
|
Ill trade a SC2 Beta Account for a beta key for this.
|
Looks like a really interesting game, Really would like a beta key - I've checked out screen shots and gameplay, looks like a game ill play a lot
|
One thing to add, Stunlock Studios said that when they reach certain landmarks on their Facebook fan page, they will send out another wave of keys. So if you have a Facebook and want a key, might as well like their page here: Bloodline Champions Facebook Page
Also, I would appreciate a beta key, I'm a big dota/hon player, as well as having played plenty of WoW Arena, and I think this game looks sick, I've read plenty of blogs about this game, and I am really excited to try it out. During the time when the SC2 beta is down, I would play this allllllll day, although apparently only Friday through Sunday.
Until then I have to stick to SC2 and HoN.

i was able toplay games today (monday) but it was very hard to find non-matchmaking games.

Servers are up again, there was some Q&A which you can check out on the forums.
