DOTA 2: Thanks volvo

[tol]

What are the chances of someone putting up a torrent with the matches for some that I missed while playing other games? :>

[Deadgye]

the winger is a better pistol, black box is better, degreaser is better, if you have any skill at sniper bazaar bargain is much better, brass beast/tomislav is MUCH better.

good try though.

I'd yield to Degreaser/Bazaar Bargain/Winger being better. Brass Beast/Tomislav/Black Box are inferior as far as I'm concerned though. But even if you disagree that's okay, because nowhere in my previous post did I claim those weapons were the best. I said they were good, and they are. You don't NEEDZ a bazaar bargain to play well with sniper.

And like the post above asked, anyone know if there's going to be an upload of the stream for those who missed it? D:

[avelle]

Not seeing a signup on their site for beta, did they take it down?

[supercoco]

looks like - i hope it's because of the stream. i want to test it

[SilverBreeze]

2nd time this match has to be paused by a referee because of lag. Million dollar tournament depending on lag... is kinda silly.

This is only the second game I've watched because I had to go to work, but so far I'm not sold at all on the game. I played Dota for years, and it just feels like something is missing.

[supercoco]

it's just the same core with better graphics imo

[SilverBreeze]

Maybe it's just all the pausing and the lag that's ruining it for me.

[Sonomaa]

yeah, Im watching and the pausing and lag does suck a bit, Im not sure if they are running the connections of the players off of the same connection the stream is coming from, which I assume would cause a bit of lag. they should have 2 separate trunks in there for some accuracy in the latency

it looks fun, and while Ive never been a big dota fan, I do want to play it, just not with dole because he is elitist and will hate me

[avelle]

Are you a feeder Sonomaa? It's ok, I am too. Wish I could check out the videos but god damn you work! /shakefist. Hope Drow looks good, <3 Drow.

[Sonomaa]

Im gonna play the one with the bow and arrows, I love bows and arrows

Think there's two bow users, Drow and Medusa? Could be mistaken though, it's been a while since I've played. I was always a fan of Drow's ice arrows and silence though.

yeah that sounds like the ticket, drow and ice arrows ftw

(all the dota elitists are raging as we mangle the syntax Im sure)

[synistar]

Rage is all part of the game. And the bow users are Priestess of the Moon, Drow, Medusa and Windrunner off the top of my head. Been forever since playing DotA ever since I migrated to HoN.

Speaking of Rage, was really funny to hear InControl in SotG last night as they discussed MOBAs and more specifically LOL's $5mil season. MOBAs are not really aobut playing the game as much as it is yelling at everyone for doing something wrong no matter how minute.

[Rivero]

Maybe it's just all the pausing and the lag that's ruining it for me.

It's probably that. The game seems completely identical to DotA like Icefrog promised it would be.

[Sonomaa]

game was back up, I watched it for a minute or two, and then it started lagging again

Im the problem ; ;

[Dryr]

I have yet to see anyone buy a book to level-up 300 times and/or be a giant...

[avelle]

Guess there's not enough bandwidth to accommodate a Modzilla.

[synistar]

What people on TL are saying is they are pausing to cache up the game data then resuming the cast. There are 1.5 million people (at least 300k English, god knows how much from China alone) so this is kinda unprecedented for a gamecast to have this many people watching.

[Dantrag]

At this point they should just record it and publish it later. Other wise it's going to take hours to finish a game.

[Sonomaa]

people seem to really like dota2, the ones playing it, so Im looking forward to how its going to turn out
