Guys since I received the DOTA 2 invite, I was bombarded by BETA requesters. It is understandable that we are all crazy for DOTA2 . But just after I received the DOTA 2 invite, there were attempts to hack my ID. They even froze my account. Among many requesters there were valid people who are DOTA vets and haven't received there invite. But one message I received is beyond imagination. I don't know what to reply to this guy. I wont mention his name. Just message.

I am a 15 year old fat and clumsy boy , Whenever I go to school , I always get mocked and laugh at my ridiculous size . I was never good in anything I do and I never had any good friends , all I had was just a oily pack of meat surrounding me . I always blame myself for being so useless. I once fall in love with a girl but I didnt have the guts to tell her and I know she will never accept someone so hideous like me . I thought my life will be like that forever until I saw dota movie featuring chuan from iG team , he injured his legs accidentally and was not able fulfill his dreams as a basketball player , he became self-abandonment. All he can do was just eating and playing dota .But he did not give up on his life and move as far as he can . Even thought he cant achieved his dream as a basketball player , he is one of china best player . Since that day on, he was my idol , i dream of becoming a pro dota player like he , soon i found my motivation in my life, i decided to change myself , i trained dota hard everyday and also try to slim down by doing lots of excerise . 2 months later , i succed to slim down from a 100kg boy to a healthy 70kg , i was happy and finally know the target of my life . Until today , i never give up my dream to become a proffesional dota 2 player even thought i would never had a beta key . There's 1 thing i want u to promise me , that is to carry on my dreams . Until the day u succeed , please don't forget the motivation and encouragement i gave u today but if you are willing to give me a dota 2 invite to continue my dreams , i will be gratefull enought and u will be the most unforgetable people who had change my life entirely . Even if you don't give me , i hope you can give it to somone who appreciate the dedicated hard work of icefrog and love the game as much as i do..

A true story of me but people treat it as a big joke ? Is the community so cold blood and cruel ? When i ask politely for a key , all i get are humilating , disrespectful replys like fuck your mum , fuck urself . You can scold me but why you scold my beloved mum? I really felt so discouraged and frustrated when i see such comment . But i would try the final time to ask for a beta key and see if good hearted people still exist or not in this community , if no i will go with no regrets . And if you think what i say is dumb , foolish , just treat like you didnt saw this passage and please dont post humilating and hurtul comments

That was a heart touching message but I think it might be a scam, might be not really. The written content is a win win heart thingy. I would have to fight myself hard to stop from giving it to him.

Did you give him/her the key? Is that guy/gal from pakgamers or steam?

hehe... but he's not that OP in DotA 1 though.

The only thing I want from DotA 2 now is to valve to somehow make local servers or at least servers in UAE so there is little to no delay... Europe has too much delay for good creeping e.t.c

But that is to be expected, its in beta after all. But I would REALLY like some local server support or at least servers in UAE. I get about 60ms ping to UAE. nvm few days back it was 60ms now its 150 :/ FUF UUFUFU UFUUFUFUU PTCL :D

I come to collect - This week's update (21-12-2011)

Today’s update had a contract on its head, and Gondar was happy to claim it.

As always, you can find today’s change log here. Our favorite addition is the broadcasting of spectator numbers to players in a game – a great way to make Dota stress your heart even more is to let you know there’s a crowd watching your every move!
Also, cookies and milk are a thing of the past. This holiday you should leave fresh chops, sweetbread and gravy near the chimney.

So IceFrog is designing the whole game alone? Maybe that's why it looks rather lacklustre. I mean come on.. One man alone can't do it all :tv:

Anyways, good to see some love for this genre on PG, even if its just for DotA.

Not alone and its still in beta. I've seen Max 21k players online at a time and its growing (playdota.com is giving away 180 beta keys every day).
Tbh it took me 5min to get used to this one since I've played a lot dota so I know the game mechanics very well.

HON might be a good game but I don't have the patience to go through that learning curve again.

Fog is a Abuses will lead to ban in this one. A good player can easily get away at night if he is near blind spots.

No lag? Friend of mine (old dota fan as well) got the beta a couple of months back and he wasn't impressed at all. He's a HoN fan now and said the gameplay was too slow, the graphics unimpressive and the lag too much.

I mean come on... Compare to S2, Valve is a giant. The problem is that they're trying too hard to NOT change the game from the original DotA, even if the changes are for the good.

HON might be a good game but I don't have the patience to go through that learning curve again.
Learning curve? If you're familiar with DotA heroes, you'll feel right at home.

I am TOTALLY NEW to the genre. Never played DotA. Yet, in 2 or 3 months, I know the game well enough.

No lag/spikes, just a slight delay of 0.3-0.5sec. I checked the server's IP, I get 160ms ping. That is a good ping to Europe. HON was slow in beta as well & DotA 2 is in beta as well.

Learning curve? If you're familiar with DotA heroes, you'll feel right at home.

Exactly! I've played DotA for over 3 years, I can't just shift to HON. I don't know the spell effects, I don't know the item names & I don't know the hero names hence I don't know what he/she will do in front of me. HON did copy DotA's heroes/spells but its a lot different now AFAIK.

I tried HON again few months back, picked 'Juggernaut' (don't remember its HON name) cause I've played that hero a lot in DotA. The main issue I faced again was the things I mentioned above. To learn HoN I'll have to give it a lot of time which I seriously don't want to.

While when I started D2, I felt right at home.

I would like to emphasize the fact again that D2 is still in BETA! Treat it as a beta not like fully made game, there is still a lot of work to be done.

p.s here's my steam profile link, add me up whoever here is playing D2 beta.
