Honestly, I finally got to play and I was disappointed. There's a lot of client lag, which threw off my last hitting. I mean delay, so I didn't get anywhere near as much money as I should. It was about .5 seconds of delay for every action, including skills which would have wrecked me in the 3 games I played but the other team was newness so I won anyway. Still the delay turned me off to this game.

 

I have a spare key if anyone wants it. Just send me a PM with you e-mail and I'll send it off.

EDIT: The key has been given away.

 

Make sure to select the correct servers.

When I started, I just let the thing go and ended up on EU or Asian servers, which left a delay.

I limited matchmaking to US servers and I have no lag at all. Dropping the graphics down a bit might help too.

 

I just got a couple new invites if anybody still wants in.

 

Since there's a number of Dota 2 invites flying around with Santa, wondering if anyone's playing regularly/interested in forming a regular group to play in.

 

I generally try to have a game every second night or so. I'm TheWiseTomato on Steam. Very newbish, but I do actually understand what is going on...most of the time.

 

This. If anyone wants, tell us now, because anyone is open to getting DOTA 2, not just folks who gave into the pile. We've a ton of extra copies, if you want it, you will have it.

 

I've got 7 extra copies too, so if someone wants one, feel free to drop a PM, Valve is dropping copies like mad.

 

I suggest you play offline vs bots for a few games first, I'll play with you if you like.

 

Yesterday I thought I had an Dota 2 invite, was a bit confused on how it got there but rather happy. Turns out, it is just for watching other people play >_>

Anyone has one invite left and wouldn't mind parting with it?

Edit: Got it, thank you very much, Peteks.

 

I would like one too. Used to play Dota a lot and from what I have seen most things remain the same if improved. Shouldn't take too long to get into it again.

EDIT: Thank you Peteks.

 

So how often does everyone play and what type of game? Quite partial to single draft because of how absolutely shits and giggles it is.

 

I play... around 10-30 hours a week, depending on how free I am, how bored I am, and a bunch of other things. Usually play AP, but I leave captain's mode up to play since it's usually... interesting.

 

I play 8-10 games/day, almost always keen for a game with anyone in aus/sea region. Got 12 invites for anyone who wants.

Steam: Semesaa

 

Single draft, partly because it means there's a small chance that the enemy team will pick heroes they're unfamiliar with and I won't end up with a 1/3 K/D ratio, and partly because it's fun trying out new heroes.

It's weird how it works though, I've played quite a few games of SD by now and it rarely gives me a hero it hasn't before, and there are a lot of those.

 

Meh, everyone should have about 1000 keys anyways.

 

A few hours a week, Dota, like HoN and LoL, are not games I can play for very long. Can only endure getting gangraped by Riki and Pudge for so long. (and there is always a Riki and/or a Pudge in the enemy team)

Have five keys now too, in case anyone wants.
