Title: Dota 2 invites
Post by: Xicano on January 06, 2013, 11:36:36 PM
So I got some DOTA 2 invites and I have some extra if anyone is interested. I've never really played it so I can't say much about it. But if you're interested hit me up on steam at Frisky Two Times**

If no one here wants them I'll just give them away on Slickdeals

I got something like six copies sent to me, for giving away, but I tried to 'gift' a couple and I don't think that actually worked.   ???

Yeah that's what I got. I don't even play the game but about a year ago I got a beta invite. I see the game going for $14 or something like that so thought I would just give them away. But if one one wants to see if they work let me know.

I'm in the same boat, so if they guys above run out I have six copies to give away.


I don't really play it.  I prefer League of Legends.

I still have all my giftable copies that I tried to get rid of several times already. :D

It's the sequel to the original MOBA.  :P

I fired it up briefly, to check it out awhile back.  All the different characters is pretty cool but the gameplay is a grindy light RTS with some RPG qualities focused solely on multiplayer maps with 3 different routes to attack your enemy team.

It looks like they're still using the engine to Warcraft 3, however, as the 3D graphics just get stretched to that blurry look on hi-res. 

The only thing I liked about it, as mentioned, was the wide assortment of unique characters you could play (you just play as 1 character a match).  The community for the MOBA games has a terrible reputation for being a bunch of foul-mouthed punks who verbally abuse 'noobs' and are rather viciously competitive.

Thanks Nefaro. I think I will pass.
