I think this could be bad for the WC3 DoTA. Blizzard's obviously going to try to stop Valve, but... I dunno who will win. Both companies have a good stake in the issue (DoTA was originally made with the WC3 Editor, yet Valve has Icefrog), so it could go either way in my opinion. Nobody likes the War3 DotA technical limitations, if anything, that's the one thing holding back DotA. The shitty netcode of B.net, the shitty trigger limitations of the map editor (hello triggered heals) along with the overall pretty crummy interface. Everyone will jump from War3 DotA to Valve DotA the minute it gets released, except some of the Asians, they'll most likely look for ways to pirate the shit.
i dont think that a custom SC2 map and a standalone game are even in teh same market segment

Rage is 100% inescapable in DotA. If you play you will rage and the rage will storm around you. But man, its oh so sweet when you win.
Unless this has a feature where you can rejoin after a disconnect I will likely not play this game.

So when is this and the other Blizz custom games coming out? :/

Considering every game release by Blizzard its gonna be released in about 1-3 years then add another year and a delay of 2-3 months, then do an official date.

Uh no. It should be out in a month or two.

would try it...when/if I get a better computer to actually run SC2 at a decent speed (that isn't like 5-10 fps on low settings)....
though I think I'd rather go for HoN (not LoL, nor DotA2. from what I hear from my brother who has experience with valve.......)
I'm still thinking that Blizzard isn't right in making a custom map for this, it'll pretty much have the same problems as the original DotA, such as reconnection issues, feeders/repeated leavers/etc... and prob skewed systems by other groups (for armor, lasthitting/deny system, etc, infinite lifesteal problems, etc)
strictly speaking, I'd rather Blizzard actually use more of their attention on the *real* starcraft. _NOT_ making and maintaining custom maps/etc.

I don't think it's been announced, but it would only make sense that it is released with the next patch.

Well I guess you werent right 
Here's an update on it from browder interview:
Regarding Blizzard All-Stars, can Blizzard reveal any more details about it?
Dustin : (Dustin starts laughing at the mention of All-Stars) As of now, we are unable to reveal anything more. There is a lot of balancing we need to do, and a lot of details that we are still working on. In addition to carrying the name of Blizzard, this map also carries with it the name of DOTA, and because of that, we will definitely remain true to our reputation. Until we feel that the map is perfect enough, we won't be revealing any information about it.
What I can reveal though, is that we are in the process of fleshing out the details and contents, as well as testing the balance of the map.

So is this different from Storm of the Imperial Sanctum, that can be found in the custom maps now?

It's the same genre, but It's a completely different map. Blizz Dota is (surprise) developed by Blizzard, whereas SotiS is made by an independant mapmaker.

Oh ok cool. That's what I thought but was a little confused. Thanks!
|
anyone else think they're going to end up releasing it sometime around when DoTa 2 is released by valve lol
|
...Which will come out around the same time as Half Life 2: Episode 3. Happy waiting!
|
This still isn't released? Wow, I had actually forgotten about it...
|
I assumed that SotiS was blizzard dota, lol
Considering that DotA and SSB have nothing in common besides me loving both with a passion, i dont see how you can be inspired by both.
This won't work, blizzard doesnt understand dota like icefrog does, and the dota community thats loyal after LoL and HoN came out arent going to switch over to something that isnt dota2.
|
I don't have high expectations for this game really.

if you watched the video and listened, the connotation with blizz dota and ssb is that you get an "all-star" lineup of characters from previous blizzard games to choose from such as sylvannas and kerrigan who are from two completely different worlds.

GDI, nothing ruins a great thread like this more than a f**king centipde on the wall. BRB.
Also looking forward to this, hope it can turn out well. Mafia is getting old (not quickly, but slightly).
Edit: The centipede is slain and SotIS (or w/e) is just an imposter of DotA (as is HoN and LoL - while League tried to be its own game with its own lore, the balance team of the game is basically trash and HoN is basically a complete DotA copy/paste with their own extremely OP heroes and again, poor balancing). Hopefully Valve's DotA 2 will have the same balancing as the original DotA, and hopefully will not have to copy/paste many (if not any) heroes from the original.
But I have high hopes for Blizzard's DotA. I'm hoping they make their own very unique characters and work EXTREMELY hard to balance it and make the UI friendly to newer users (ie recommended items/tips/hints/guides?)l
