DOTA 2: Thanks volvo

**Loan** · 2011-11-02 09:45

So did everyone that applied for beta get this email?

Vobent · 2011-11-02 20:42

First wave of invites went out, I did not get in. I am now sad.

**Pikarya** · 2011-11-02 20:50

Wanting to sel.............. oh shi didn't get an invite :/

**Seraphise** · 2011-11-02 20:51

Wave 2 comes with +2 friend invites! Maybe if enough of us get in we could rally a early bg competition

**Lebzile** · 2011-11-02 23:52

Dang, didn't get in.

**Bweigelt** · 2011-11-03 00:09

No key here either, but according to reddit they haven't all gone out at the same time so it looks like it's come to checking my email everyday till open beta or until I get a key now.

I haven't played WC3 DotA in a long time, but Power Treads are about 1500, a top tier item is around 5000 (a 3k item in secret shop, a 1k sub item, and a 1k recipe), BKB is 3000. Then think about all the gold you use on expendables (TPs at 135 a pop add up very fast) and the gold you don't spend because you lost it dying. In a longer game maybe you add another high tier item like MKB or Buriza and get to 15k.

Of course you have the outlier games when you are the dominant carry and item cap, but you also have the outliers where you lose in 15 minutes and have only boots.

I wonder if they weighted gold to the heroes you played most though. But even then without a game length context, it's not very useful.

A better measure than XP and gold would have been asking about Denies and APM imo.

Might as well keep up the patch notes, since a lot of us are going to (hopefully) be playing soon.

Spoiler: show

Thought Chaos Knight was going to be added this week too, even though none of his files have been leaked yet. Oh well.

Also:

"We’d also like to welcome the new folks who received Dota 2 invites yesterday. If you weren’t one of the lucky folks, you’ll be happy to know we’ll be pushing out new invites every couple of days."

People who were previously in the beta just got their extra 2 keys.
HoNs homecoming stone is DotAs Linken's Sphere, just recolored. My mind blew a little upon seeing.

**five** · 2011-11-10 11:00

I would assume because icefrog was part of the dev team of S2 in the early stages. They probably thought it'd be easier to keep items/icons similar to DotA to ease the transition over.

**Gryffes** · 2011-11-10 13:39

Hai guys.

Got two beta invites to give out, first two replies get it PM'd. ( Need your steam account names ).

**Gryffes** · 2011-11-10 13:46

I thought people actually wanted beta access?

Clearly not that much!

**IceStorm** · 2011-11-10 13:49

I'd love one if you don't mind giving them out to a lurker.
