Valve Announces Dota 2 - Polidicks

[QUOTE=goon165;25390077]The only thing I'm afraid of is what wrecked DOTA for a lot of people in the first place, the community. Hopefully people won't be blatant assholes to new comers or this game will go down the shitter immediately.[/QUOTE] It's DotA, what do you expect. But as stated in RPS' article they have a feature where you can train people, and there will be AI for singleplayer matches. So people can actually play and train before going out in normal multiplayer, avoiding bazillion new players ruining peoples matches. The community is horrible for understandable reasons, you need full teamwork and knowledge on how to use characters or else you fuck over the whole match. And when you experience that 10 times in a row because someone doesn't know how to play it gets really annoying.

Christ do you really think they will release three games next year? Because this just blew chances of Ep3 next year. 2012 release at earliest *sigh*.

[QUOTE=insane taco;25390924]Christ do you really think they will release three games next year?

Sometime in december 2012.

[QUOTE=insane taco;25390924]Christ do you really think they will release three games next year? Because this just blew chances of Ep3 next year. 2012 release at earliest *sigh*.[/QUOTE] That makes no sense. Each game has its own team.

[QUOTE=zombojoe;25388994]It was stated that DotA2 will be a direct clone. Pretty much like CS:S was to CS 1.6.[/QUOTE] Isn't HoN like that already?

[QUOTE=LtBubbles;25391809]Isn't HoN like that already?[/QUOTE] Not really. HoN is different with slight similarities.

[QUOTE=LtBubbles;25391809]Isn't HoN like that already?[/QUOTE] After HoN Beta ended they started to create new content.

[QUOTE=Rong;25391874]Not really. HoN is different with slight similarities.[/QUOTE] Not really. HoN is the same with more and better functions and some slight modifications + some new characters.

We Better Get Hats.

Never played DotA, depending on how much it costs I might have to try it out.

[QUOTE=Zeb Brown;25394419]We Better Get Hats.[/QUOTE] This got me thinking about Portal 2, do you think we'll get a portal item in TF2?

Most likely.

[QUOTE=Pat.Lithium;25394837]This got me thinking about Portal 2, do you think we'll get a portal item in TF2?[/QUOTE] The portal gun

I've never played this, may try it out if it's not overpriced

Major letdown on Valve's part. DOTA is a disease. On the sales side of things, ya, Valve are smart for taking up such a popular game. But for decency, they fucked up majorly. The player base consists of 99.9% douches. Join a normal game? Some elitist reject complains about you not knowing how to play and continually demands you quit. Join a newbie game? Elitist rejects are exploiting the newbies who don't know how to play and won't shut the fuck up about it. Age of Myths (The map, that is) was better designed, better looking, and had a better player base. No fucking idea why DOTA got all the attention, its total shit in comparison.

I'll buy it because it's Valve. They have no bad games, only good and very good games. [editline]14th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=DTkach;25395711]The player base consists of 99.9% douches.

[editline]14th October 2010[/editline] *rewarding veterans for being nice to newbies. I miss my edit button.

[QUOTE=Jack Trades;25395712]True BUT if you read the gameinformer thingy about DoTA2, you'll see that Valve tries to solve that problem by rewarding veterans by being nice to newbies.[/QUOTE] And knowing DOTA players it will do fuck-all to get them to help. They'll just "help" friends who are defined as new just to get the rewards.

[QUOTE=DTkach;25395796]And knowing DOTA players it will do fuck-all to get them to help.

I trust Valve, they'll make it right.

[QUOTE=Pat.Lithium;25394837]This got me thinking about Portal 2, do you think we'll get a portal item in TF2?[/QUOTE] Yer they will.

When I hear "Defence of the Ancients", for some reason I think of a shitty Flash Tower Defense Game. Seriously, that just puts me off thinking of getting it.

God damn tf2 community ruining valve's games... First L4D and now you start again with your hats bullshit.

funny how many bandwagoners are here. i like dota as a game, try playing it with friends and taking time to learn it. the community is shit yes and it's a little tricky to get the hang of, but it can be great fun even if you're playing against bots.

Bummer. I hate fantasy games. [editline]14th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=BloodYScar;25396386]God damn tf2 community ruining valve's games... First L4D and now you start again with your hats bullshit.[/QUOTE] i would love hats for L4D2. IRONY.

Wach it be free. Also it might just be them testing what they can do with this style of game, Remember [url=http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Prospero]Prospero[/url] anyone ? (they said they planed on working on it)

As long as DotA's community (oh dear god) doesn't migrate to this game, I might consider buying it...

Fuck you Valve. I've played DotA before and it is possibly one of the most overrated things I have ever seen. I never foresaw the day I'd ever avoid a Valve game.

That's when DotA is fun. When you can do teamwork and when you know your character and what to buy. But it takes a lot of work to get to the point where you know every character in and out and know what to counter with and what attributes you need and what items would give you helpful attributes versus your opponents and whatnot.

yeah fuck valve for making a sequel to a game that people enjoy!!! get on the ball guys, you sound like reverse fanboys.

[QUOTE=dgg;25415834]BUT THEY'RE NOT MAKING THE GAME I WANT!!!! Bohooo! :frown::frown::frown:[/QUOTE] also i fucking love your avatar, did you make that in After Effects using the cartoonize effect?
