[B][U]What is Dawngate?[/U][/b]
Dawngate is a new MOBA that is being developed by Waystone Games and published by EA.
Built from the ground up to look and feel familiar while offering a whole new way to experience MOBA gameplay. Dawngate empowers you to forge the champions you love for the roles you want in a competitive arena, shaped by ever-evolving, community-driven content and story.

The unique Role System, combined with uniquely reimagined Item and Stat functionality, allows you to play your character however you want without having to endure the "wrong choices" that end up killing your character creativity and make gameplay redundant.

[B][U]Is it out yet?[/U][/B]
Dawngate is currently in open beta which is free to enter without any costs and is available only on PC.

[B][U]What does the map look like?[/U][/B]
An interactive map can be viewed [URL="http://www.moba-champion.com/map/"]here.[/URL]
The map has 2 lanes alone with 3 large jungle sections, allowing for faster paced matches with shapers able to move quickly from one lane to the other.

[B][U]What makes Dawngate different than other MOBA's?[/U][/B]
Dawngate doesn’t follow the well-known meta of Top lane, Jungle, Mid, Jungle, Bottom Lane. Instead, it is Jungle, Top Lane, Jungle, Bottom Lane, Jungle.

Along with the lanes and jungle, there are 4 spirit wells each team can capture or steal. If a team holds a spirit well, the well will spawn minions that harvest extra gold for the team that holds it. It can be looked at as domination and classic play meshed into one game. It’s a cool aspect that adds a touch of uniqueness to Dawngate and another level of competitiveness.

Another small difference are the turrets which are called Bindings. Bindings have the ability to regenerate after a set amount of time and regenerate faster the closer it is to that team’s platform. You also get an auditory warning when your Binding or Spirit Well is attacked, letting you know where defense is needed.

To win the game, you must defeat the enemy Guardian located by their summoning platform. The Guardian isn’t protected by any turrets, but has 3 levels of health bars and its’ attacks include random Area of Effects spells that can be avoided if you pay attention to them. I like this feature because it makes the game challenging to the end, but as I said for the Bindings, I don’t think it does as much damage as it should.

[B][U]How many Shapers (in other games these are called Heroes or Champions) are currently in Dawngate?[/U][/B]
There are currently as of 7/13/14 30 shapers available for purchase with 11 of them being in the weekly free rotation.
The full list of shapers is available [URL=http://www.moba-champion.com/shapers/]here.[/URL]

This is my first GGD thread so I apologize if it isnt as great as any of the others and I want to mention [URL=http://facepunch.com/member.php?u=292313]SataniX[/URL] for I did use some of his words from his [URL=http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1298989]original thread[/URL](albeit edited) so some credit goes to him for his previous well made thread, and I would like to thank a special mod for green lighting this thread c:

Didn't notice this new thread earlier. Might want to change the OP since bindings don't regenerate anymore.

Really bummed out about this game dying, I don't think the devs even saw it coming considering they released a big balance patch the day before it died.
