General

I have a DotA competition tomorrow, I'm playing for my college in an intercollegular fest, wish me luck

I can't wait for the new Valve DotA. I have never, ever played it, but this is going to be interesting.

SC2 is Starcraft 2, which most people who played DotA played WC3 which means they played Starcraft Brood War. Everyone i know left DotA once SC2 came out, and now there is a DotA in the SC2 with new Heros and keeps your stats as you keep playing more DotA games which the other one never did. Plus the Graphics are like 10x better.

[quote=CrayonScribble]I stopped playing after I got SC2 but will probably play again when DotA 2 comes out.[/quote]

What's SC2? :O

Well thank you for this.

Maybe once I find a War3 TFT file, I can start playing DotA again.

I stopped playing after I got SC2 but will probably play again when DotA 2 comes out.

@LEGENDairy: Oh I see. Thanks for explaining buddy
@angelxholy: Garena is a global server. There's rooms for every country. So if you start using garena, you'd probably be using the australian room in which only australians would be playing, therefore giving you a local range. The lag would depend on if the host is lagging, your internet, or your computer (if it just sucks). If anyone else lags really hard, the game pauses for a few seconds. But usually this never happens

Oh, also. Would this garena work properly for aussies or would it have that annoying delay-lag?

[quote=RJustice]What exactly is this bored aussie thingie? Is it battle.net?[/quote]

Bored Aussie is a pizza slice which caters for the Australian market (primarily Melbourne since its based in Melbourne), since there is no Battle.net server in Australia/Oceania. You need an invite to play there.

@RJustice: Oh, thanks.

Now I just have to find War3 TFT for download.

[quote=AngelxHoly]Oh, I think it had something to do with Bored Aussies. It required the newest War3, I think.

I had DotA and everything updated, but it still wanted War 3. So yeah, I havent played in almost 2 years or more. I miss DotA. [/quote]

Ohh. just use garena thats what everyone uses. Battle.net isn't really used as much nowadays. Garena basically treats the internet as a LAN, so you can play matches over it, through the LAN port

Oh, I think it had something to do with Bored Aussies. It required the newest War3, I think.

I don't think you need the latest version of TFT. If you already have TFT, then you can add dota onto it

I used to.

Now I dont have the newest version of War III: TFT anymore.
If anyone knows where I can find it so I can play DotA again, I'd be grateful.

@FaTaLP3NGU1N: Oh lol so it is related to the game dota ! :O

[quote=RJustice]I've heard that song so many times and still have no idea what language it is in, or what the DotA in it means[/quote]

ORIGINAL:

Vi sitter här i venten och spelar lite DotA
å pushar på å smeker,
med motståndet vi leker.
Vi sitter här i venten och spelar lite DotA
å springer runt å creepar,
och motståndet vi sleepar.

TRANSLATION:
We're sitting here in Ventrilo and playing a bit of DotA
And pushing on and owning
With the opponents we're playing
We're sitting here in Ventrilo and playing a bit of DotA
And running around and creeping
And the opponents we're sleeping

[quote=FaTaLP3NGU1N][url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXKd7uuehlw]DotA[/url] is awesome.[/quote]

[quote=pigmanbear]Played HoN but I suck at it.[/quote]

It's pretty different. And from what I've heard HoN sucks in comparison to dota and lol

Played HoN but I suck at it.

[quote=Sirenheart]I used to play DoTA before I played LoL, and I'd like to play it more, but I have no idea how I patch that thing. I'm on a patch where that Luna hero came out. So far away from the current patch[/quote]

There's no need to patch it. Just go to www.getdota.com and download the latest map. It takes like 2 minutes? Copy this to your warcraft maps and double click to play

What exactly is this bored aussie thingie? Is it battle.net?

@Erza: I'll add you when I go on
I'm lololopwned or Shortlist

[quote=Singuy]I have been playing it since 6.50 iirc sometime when icefrog took over guinsoo (forgot which version though) so yea I know how to play almost any hero in their respective roles, I also know a fair amount of competetive dota from observing professional replays but I mostly play pubs. I think that hosting a basil dota tourney will be fun but I have to ask, how are we going to have a stable connection if we live somewhere far?[/quote]

I'm not sure about that. I'm guessing we play in international dota room (garena).
But what I am more concerned of is, how exactly will we be determining a 'winner' so to speak? I guess we'll have to predetermine the teams?

IGN's Zene.
Find me anytime I'm on and I'll break you.

[quote=Nats2412]I rather make Lothar Edge than Dagon. His Ulti + Lothar = movingcloudstormthatenemycanthityou.[/quote]

well, if he sees the cloud he knows your there. lol.
But after pt, vangy, dagon, anything goes, I'd personally go for a linken's to avoid getting roundhouse'd by stunners like tiny and lion

@Nats2412: oh i hate that skill with passion. that made me rage quit so much

I've played for 3 years.
Anyone here play on Bored Aussies?
And, who's gonna get DotA2?

@ Above: His ult is useless later in the game.
I'd rather use lothars while you're stealing another person's damage and then pwn him once you're out of it.

Hey so it seems we got quite a few DotA chaps on basil, gonna make the Basilmarket DotA thread soon

[quote=ImAxel]What is dota, hon, and lol?[/quote]

DotA - Defence of the Ancients, a mod map of Warcraft III based off an older Starcraft mod map known as Aeons of Strife.
HoN - Heroes of Newerth, a game that is entirely based on DotA
LoL - League of Legends, a spin-off game that utilises functions and gameplay from DotA

@7heBlood: that works too

@7heBlood: Oh nice, I'll check it out. But Playdota is still win

[quote=ImAxel]What is dota, hon, and lol?[/quote]

Defense of the ancients, Heroes of Newerth, Laugh out loud

[quote=RJustice]Yeah they all have some pretty funny names Rikimaru is ricky martin, ursa warrior is fuzzy wuzzy, etc

@7heblood: Is that a dota fansite?[/quote]

It's like a clan that runs dota games that keeps track of everything.

[quote=LEGENDairy]Hey you know how Clinkz the Bone Fletcher can be called Clinkz Eastwood (Clint Eastwood) and Aiushtha the Enchantress can be known as Bambi...well imagine what Puck would be called...I dunno if Puck was actually given one.

EDIT: Aww, Puck is Kupu-Kupu [/quote]

If anyone plays on Azeroth East, they can add me: AoE[briyip]

@Xchippzanuff: At most it's possible to get 1 and like half of the second item in 20 mins. And razor is a pretty good hero now, he still can survive a battle well against his antis thanks to his 2nd skill.
For razor what'd you'd be doing it, ulti>2nd skill (drains his attack, and adds his attack damage to yours)>force field>dagon (if you got it), and chase/stay close so that your ulti affects him, and he can't really run away from it.

Basshunter was literally the first thing I thought of.

@RJustice: lol i know he got but he got some strong weakness now oh dang pros getting the good items under 20 mins

[quote=Xchippzanuff]@RJustice: if i can remaber it was razor or something like that. the floating ghost knight with the lich's voice clips[/quote]

Yeah, razor. He's even better now, what are you talking about lol O.o
Make a dagon on him and other guy is a sure kill

@RJustice: if i can remaber it was razor or something like that. the floating ghost knight with the lich's voice clips

[quote=Erza]HoN's a piece of turd that was itself, excreted from another turd.

OT: Puck is my best and favourite, Bored Aussie server anyone? [/quote]

Ew puck is like my worst

Hey so who here thinks we should have an official dota thread?

I only play Garena. I'm pretty good
ign on garena : pokemanz

@Xchippzanuff: What was your main? :O

@RJustice:
lol but my main was pwnage D: lol but i'm trying to learn the new guys now since their really good

@apoxdude: I'm sure there would be a gaming centre near your place. Just jack it off there through pendrive. That's what I did. And then I gave it to like.. everyone I know. lol. Or just ask someone to copy their's to your pc
