Maybe early on it wasn't, been like that for several years though. I guess before 6.48 or so it was still not icefrog doing everything and it was hosted somewhere else and shit so it wouldn't be linked then.

When you load dota, the loading screen isn't a WC3 loading screen, it's a cool looking illustration of heroes by kunkka, and there's usually stuff about who won the last major tournaments and the playdota website. Also technically to download the dota map you have to go to playdota usually.

Amazing news, I had not seen that in the post before yours. I hope you post again in 2mins after it's live so I'm sure of it.

Actually part of it was. Not the story as in storywriting, but the story as in the world events ran by GMs and shit. When a GM played Baelzharon or whatever which was the evil god of the game and recruited our fellowship under him and started raining meteors all over the place, it was definitely...

Well I don't think the genre is for everyone, if you tried it a few times and don't like it then that's that, just like people don't like Minecraft or MMOs or whatever else. When I started I played with friends a lot so they showed me the ropes and the type of game is basically perfect for...

Cool video of dual wield and floating clothes:

Yeah as I said the hard numbers and shit came later in the thread, I had read the thread I think it was on saturday after I was done playing and there was this thread and another that were bitching and crying about the bard state, so my impression based on that was that the class was getting...

This was one of the threads, I see they added some shit after I checked it out though, so apparently you don't get the effect of your mp song as a BRD, which I assume is to prevent maintaining it almost forever. There was another thread but I couldn't find it, this one I already had to dig...

There's a bunch of threads on the forums about people complaining about the bard songs. Basically, they consume too much MP over time, so you can't play a song permanently, you actually have to stop playing for a decent bit for mp to regen, exact numbers I'm not sure but one guy was saying he...

The problem, as someone pointed out before is even if they drop the GCD or you get tons of gear that drops the GCD, you'll still run out of TP eventually and then it's thumbletwindling time again, actually for longer. They do need something to regen TP, maybe pots? I think there's only potions...

I don't see a boom of any sort happening. The current situation isn't like mmos with LoL being EQ and a new gen is coming up to dethrone the king. LoL is WoW. The only "boom" you'll see is a boom of trash budget mobas trying to cash in on the money hats Riot is printing by copying LoL and adding...

I don't think you can swap gear by macros in this? Think you can only use the gear set swaps, which is like a respec so it puts all your shit on 30secs cooldown, which obviously isn't gonna help you get more DPS. I haven't looked into it in details though.

Even warrior wasn't that fast until Fury took off, which was BWL/AQ or so but in MC and early BWL warriors were like MS arms build and you were rage starved all the fucking time anyway. Hunter was Aimed Shot spam so that was slow as fuck, rogues had plenty of energy issues so their 1s GCD was...

Problem I've seen about focusing on gathering/crafting is leves are gated through a combat leve unlock quest thing in each zone, so you need to be able to complete it to unlock the related gather/craft leves. Guess you could get someone to clear them for you but still a bit annoying. I might...

Combat Lina is actually pretty good, her attackpoint is awful early game though and farming with spells isn't very reliable unless you're mid and bottle crow or somehow control the runes. Assuming you do farm and people let you, it's pretty strong, skip leveling the stun to focus on the...

Yeah Marlboro was low pop. I leveled my THM on an euro server since friends wanted to play on that instead and there were a lot more people there, and even that server wasn't one of the highest pop. Finding groups for dungeons shouldn't be an issue once they add the duty finder, but the problem...

There's a good WAR vs PLD thread on the official beta forums, with a lot of lvl 50 testing shit around. Interesting parts is that as expected PLD is very boring to play, even if adequate, as you mostly rely on your main combo that you spam in all and every situation, weaving in flash for aoe...

Thing that looked cool was that once you become a Warrior, you get access to an entire new mechanic that's basically combo points, so it plays quite a lot differently I assume, at least your rotations change a bit(since rotation generates combo points and when you have 5 you pop specific WAR...

Oh that's interesting, I forgot to test that shit, will try next beta if I can get a 2nd key, I wanna see how dual logging works with this. As for Arcanist yeah don't think they said it'd be up for P4, even though they're not wiping, so that's a bit weird. Guess it'd be a good time to level...

I guess you'll have to make good use of macros with a gamepad, and probably just drop a lot of shit. Like if you look at basic WHM stuff, it's not that many slots, 3 cures, 1stoneskin, 2aoe heals, esuna, regen, that's basically all your spells. Maybe Aero and Stone 2 if you need to do some dmg...

There was a bounty system in UO but it was just yet another system that ended up being abused, people would just kill themselves once the bounty was high enough, collect the bounty then use the money to macro the stats back they lost(after they added stats losses to murderers) and keep the rest...

Hmm right if everyone heals themselves it'd work out too, but the 2 dungeons I've done as a THM, it seems only one guy in each had CNJ at all, so they'd stay at low health(not even drinking potions which are worth jackshit and you get 40s of during quests) so yeah. But I've heard of groups...

I think gamepad will show its limits once raids start and you have to heal 24people without a decent way to target people. With that said it might be facilitated by UI stuff(priority on people not at full health and being able to set various focused targets for tank healing or whatever) or just...

Legacy has the same content besides the jobs, so all they can do is brayfox with level syncing down. Or maybe some FATE in higher level zones I don't know if they're active, you could in theory do these too on normal servers though. And yeah I don't know if they're running out of time or...

Imagine you play with 4 NPCs, that are played by humans, and you have to escort them, by which it means they're on your team and you need to kill 5 other players and destroy their base, and you do all this for 40+ minutes or maybe 20. Can't really find more accurate description of the genre.

The ferry is just bugged, they forgot to set the value of the ticket down when they changed gil numbers in 2.0, so it costs 55k to buy a ticket, when it should probably cost like 550. Even 5500 I could see. On the CNJ stuff, it was from last week. They buffed it quite a lot, it does...

Yeah absolutely no point, there's a competitive forum for specific tournaments if people want to do that, and there's 2 major threads for each game. I guess if there were specific forums there could be threads about specific heroes and what not but I feel this shit would be pretty empty overall...

At the price it's sold I'm fine with even just getting one month(or a couple of weeks) of fun out of it. But I guess it depends on people, some won't find that fun, I liked leveling and following the story and class quests so far so I'm ok.

Yeah was about to post that, thought it was bullshit but can confirm it works, I talked to the THM guy and got lvled to 15. You need to advance the main quest far enough though, I know I'm done with it and I believe that is the requirement, might unlock earlier I don't know. You're done when...

Yep reached same point, I played the 3 classes I had interest in to 12(MRD), 16(THM) and 23(CNJ) so other than Arcanist not much else to do, I haven't seen all of Limsa Lominsa storyline but since it's likely my main char will be from there, most likely Arcanist into Scholar or Marauder, no real...

Only thing that annoys me about Ayesee is his computer/internet is complete shit and it will ALWAYS stutter at some point during the game(regardless of action or not) and I know this one isn't a twitch shit because it still stutters when I watch the vod in the same place. Looks like when I was...

Well that's the thing, while lol had a few interesting heroes in concept(Orianna for example I liked) and some fun to play because of mechanics(Ezreal or Akali), in general dota can make heroes that are way way different from others. You have heroes that control multiple units like Chen(can...

There's a tutorial planned with a limited hero pool yeah, just not in yet.

They're not in any version, for the release they'll have VA for the main story quest only, they might add class quests eventually but they'll probably never voice sidequests.

I don't think instances don't belong to mmos, they just need to either be used better, or to be used only for specific things. These things for example would be heavily scripted lore or progression based content, such as doing class specific quests to get your class only weapon at the end of a...

To sum up, everything in dota has more complexity and as such in general more depth(some of it is just pointless complexity though like magic immunity interactions). Basically, LoL is God of War and Dota is Dark Souls, if that comparison works better for you. I guess something with CoD and Quake...

I believe available at launch raid content will be Ifrit/Garuda for the primal fights, then Crystal Tower(multiple floor instanced dungeon) then another tier with Bahamut Ruins(same as CT). Also raids are 24man(3 full groups), or at least that was the plan last time they talked about it.

BLM has 2 aoe nukes, why wouldn't you use them? There's a targetted aoe bind for the frost aoe, and the fire aoe I assume is the strongest in the game, so not sure why you'd end up using only THM spells, for single target maybe. You also get the resist buff thing to put on the tank and the...

Ah I had seen the list but had always only been looking at the casters, didn't notice other jobs had more than 2classes to pull from. I guess both BLM and WHM will be able to use Arcanist skills too, on top of CNJ/THM. Also didn't notice that WHM gets THM skills and not GLD skills. Guess we'll...

That doesn't contradict what he said, 2 classes is obviously less than all classes. You can't get CNJ heal for example, or whatever useful thing the Arcanist will get. That's the tradeoff for those 5 more skills you get from being a BLM.
