I bet this shit will be fun.
[QUOTE=HoodedSniper;39315789]I bet this shit will be fun.[/QUOTE] The gimmick of playing a MOBA as Blizzard characters seems neat but I don't think it will have better gameplay than DotA2 or compete on a financial level with LoL.
I really hope they realized that tower ammo limit was a terrible idea. Zerging a tower mindlessly shouldn't be a valid strategy.
[QUOTE=Raidyr;39315895]The gimmick of playing a MOBA as Blizzard characters seems neat but I don't think it will have better gameplay than DotA2 or compete on a financial level with LoL.[/QUOTE] I am positive I read somewhere that Blizzard is not tryng to compete with Dota or LoL and the only point of this is to be something fun. I mean this was going to just be a SC2 custom map at the start
[quote]making it Blizzard's first free-to-play title.[/quote] But you can more or less play all of Diablo III for free, can't you?
[QUOTE=BlueFlash;39316046]But you can more or less play all of Diablo III for free, can't you?[/QUOTE] No, its $60.

Damn, I might give this a try when it comes, kicking someones ass as thrall or muradin sounds a lot of fun :v: [editline]22nd January 2013[/editline] Maybe even malfurion?
[QUOTE=BlueFlash;39316329][url]http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/games/d3/[/url] Now I may be crazy here, but I think that button says "Play free now".[/QUOTE] I think that's the Starter Edition, where you can play up to the Skeleton King, which if you explore every area can take about 2-4 hours depending on your playstyle and class.

Does anyone actually even care about this? You could play LoL or Dota 2 instead, this is just going to be a gimmick. A gimmick that has been done in at least 20 SC2 custom maps.
[QUOTE=Wii60;39316401]HAHA NOPE [video=youtube;5rUwLROT_j4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rUwLROT_j4[/video][/QUOTE] Dont see anything in this that doesnt look fun. Im not expecting this to be Dota 2.5 with Blizzard Characters, just some fun side thing. Honestly Blizzard Dota looks like the fun arcadey version of Dota/LoL/HoN

[QUOTE=Wii60;39316401]HAHA NOPE [video=youtube;5rUwLROT_j4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rUwLROT_j4[/video][/QUOTE] Wasn't that from 2010? A lot could have changed since then.
Considering the pace Blizzard works at I doubt it.

This actually looks like it could be another nice departure from DOTA 2 and LoL.
[QUOTE=Raidyr;39317959]Blizzard releases their games painstakingly slowly [I]because [/I]they are willing to make massive sweeping changes.[/QUOTE] And because they are always really high quality, maybe shitty design choices, but shit like the Diablo 3 smooth combat and physics is godlike.
