Tonight we plan to hold a in-house 5 vs 5 DotA2 match. Goal is to fool around, have fun and rage at each other while being on TS. Logically due to time-zone issues, we'll have to call it around 22:00 GMT+1 if you can make it there, be on #dots-meido and keep an eye on Rinnosuke.

=( I want /in badly but I might not be able to make it =|

We'll also have a session in the weekend as well (if I can make that one :V)

I'd be willing to join a game if I'm free anytime (which is likely during weekends). Steam ID is prodyparrot

5v5 inhouse turned into a 4v4 ( timezones in weekdays ftw ). So we are going to retry this in the weekend once more.

Roughly planned: Saturday around 14:00 GMT+1

Helepolis · « **Reply #34 on:** April 15, 2012, 08:18:14 AM »

Yesterday we had 1 in-house DotA2 after some :effort:, but I guess it was worth it. Today we'll attempt another in-house around ~14:00-14:30 GMT +1 or so. Watch Rinnosuke in #dots-meido.

Well if you need a extra (bad) player, I finally play. AediousDeAero is the name.

Computer crashing as one lanes as Skeleton King, dying because of that, and being pushed to the point where your ancient can be damaged is fun.

Spoiler:

Going to go back into Invoker for a while. 3 pages of games played with him is not enough.

Helepolis · « **Reply #43 on:** April 19, 2012, 07:28:47 AM »

List updated so far. If I missed anyone, scream and shout.

The voice acting in this game is just so awesome for some heroes. Except for the terrible puns, the taunting is ok. Lich' voice is just ace.

yesterday was horrible QAQ
losing 4 times in a row because either the enemies are 5-man party or got derp allies

Dormio Ergo Sum · « **Reply #45 on:** April 19, 2012, 10:31:27 PM »

Mid tier best tier amirite?
Thank God I'm back into high tier after my losing streak.

CloverNaght · « **Reply #46 on:** April 20, 2012, 07:22:22 AM »

how to know about what current tier we're in?

Dormio Ergo Sum · « **Reply #47 on:** April 20, 2012, 07:41:21 AM »

Watch -> Recent Games -> Player Name (Exact Match) -> Skill Level

DX7.EP · « **Reply #48 on:** April 21, 2012, 02:01:47 PM »

I'd say putting tier level in OP would assist for the case of matchmaking.

Suspicions are confirmed, DotA 2 will be free-to-play 'with a twist'.

Which basically means that we can get a lot more players involved, and also (much to experienced players' chagrin) likely we'll have more complete newcomers too.

DX7.EP · « **Reply #50 on:** April 21, 2012, 02:10:06 PM »

That would come as absolutely no surprise thanks to TF2's and Portal 2's online stores.

I can also imagine this will come up in the developer commentary:
'Welcome to HatA 2. Please let us know what you think. I can be reached at G-A-B-E-N at valvesoftware.com. Thanks and have fun!'

...as long as CS: GO doesn't turn into CS: Headgear Offensive....:ohdear:

Helepolis · « **Reply #51 on:** April 21, 2012, 07:02:29 PM »

Free to play with a twist -->

Purchase Doom Bringer teddy bear hat now!
Purchase Ursa Teddy bear skin now!
Purchase a Face for Faceless void now!

Ok.

as long as the game will stay without region lock
it's fine I guess, but I hope they will not put some fucking pay to win stuff into it, or such stupid withs like unlocking some heroes with money...
