Oh, this is a good opportunity to try this game out now. Back when the beta was on, I wasn't playing DotA either, so didn't really care - but always wanted to try this game out with TLers too (maybe a few of you remember me from the GGC TL DotA clan, I don't know).

Gonna contact you guys ingame for the next few days after the client finishes downloading. I already read up on all the heroes and most items (HoNcast really garnered my interest), but I heard actually buying and combining them works a bit differently than in DotA. Anyone care to guide me around a little? I learn pretty fast and I consider myself to be an 'ok' player (Been playing DotA on and off for at least 4 years by now).

Thanks!

NAIB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hi! you can find us on TS or in game, i still use my same name from dota =P

there is still a slot free if you are interested. I just installed again and as blessing I received a annahilation.

Wow, this game REALLY needs some time to get used to, it's a damn miracle I won my first two games...and actually, I've been matched up with pretty 'ok' people (that want / do warding, courier, etc.) Way different from DotA pubs so far. We actually had some teamwork too!

Few retarded questions:

- I have trouble unloading stuff from the stash, picking items one by one is really slow. Any way of making it faster? Shopping is quite fast for me actually, since I have no clue where stuff are, I start by learning the hotkeys which only makes me semi-slow... ;D

- I couldn't upgrade the winged courier even when it was sitting at the well (I had enough gold and kept spamming the upgrade icon and the 'q' hotkey to no avail). What did I do wrong?

- Found the answer to the last question

Ctrl + Right Click transfers items between stash/inventory. Ctrl+shift+right click sells an item (from anywhere on the map)

I think the new left hand pane is potentially pretty awesome, I like having the text I guess. The right pane on the other hand is an abomination. I also appriciate the attempt at making the buying hotkeys more obvious which helps with learning them.

Likewise the addition information is nice to have for newbie players, but let us hide it and have a small tiny shop interface once we know what we're doing. I wonder if you can redo the shop interface via mod.

Also for me, since I don't buy everything by hotkeys, it's super annoying trying to buy some stuff because 100% of the time I left click it, think wtf, then right click it.
