There are already problems because blizzard is making a minigame called dota 2 as well. Also as someone mentioned ice frog isnt the original creator of dota. And i doubt that he has the rights of the dota name. I mean i doubt anyone has  | ||

OT: Reconnection in 1v1 is dumb. simple as that cross-server was promised so idk .. still cant believe B.net 2.0 doesnt have lan latency. i might be wrong though .. never felt lag playing HoN, but im hella lag with SC2 .. wtf | ||

Dota 2 is also scheduled for +1 year. Which means, we will have Diablo 3. Which means, who cares > ? In all seriousness, I love(d) DotA and I will buy DotA 2 only to support Icefrog. But Blizzard will not be sitting on their hands during the development of DotA 2. So please, remake this thread when 1 year passed and we are enjoying a balanced SCII, the ubergame Diablo III and DotA 2. It will be on epic scale level, but I would be supriced if DotA 2 will be the best created game. | ||

Free maphack. I assume this has already been mentioned, though not on the 3 pages I loosely checked over. I mean clearly Blizzard's Bnet sucks, but I am really wary about the way Valve is talking about DOTA2. Do they really "get" it? | ||

I believe there to be reason for Blizzard actions, other than being huge dicks like most people see them? | ||

2010 being StarCraft 2 Engine. 1996 being the Quake Engine. On an interesting note, David Kirsch is working on Dota 2, he was also a programmer for the quakeworld client and designed 3wave CTF. | ||

It's just that manpower is devoted elsewhere, and they just haven't decided to support these things. Yet, anyway. Who knows what the expansions hold. | ||

That said, there is no need for this feature since SC2 is not a team game like FPS shooters (and DOTA) is. Rejoining a game just a minute later will probably mean you have already lost. | ||

BNET 2.0 = Anti piracy measure It had nothing to do with features, just a way to secure their online platform so people couldn't pirate and play online. Thats why there is no lan, shitty features etc. It was 100% about securing the online from pirates. Thats why all the features where missing. | ||

Yes, but it's the fact that it has been glorified by word of mouth that makes people think it should be this great and amazing thing. They really didn't get rid of much from b.net to b.net2 Chats /f m Watch replays with friends Play on other servers While those are nice, there is no guarantee we will never see them again... | ||
