[WiTcHeR]

Kunkka is badass

[Chewy]

Kunkka is badass

Bro you should post some pics or videos of his abilitys or BloodSeeker.

[Captain Planet]

The bots are pretty good, btw. I'd say they are about equal (maybe slightly better, maybe slightly worse) than those in the AI DotA maps.

The Tide AI is pretty good I've found

THANK YOU SO MUCH. Really helped.

[Rikoshay]

Simply amazing.. Wow. Kunnka looks badass... WHERE'S MY BETA KEY!

[r0yaLe2k11]

Both Kunkka and Blood are amazing. Only the silence icon sux. And the new Venge model is good, at least better than the old-one, I'm happy they care about the fans enough to change it : )

Dota has always been a community boosted project. Valve knows that and will give it prime importance if you ask me. Most of their games were once community driven projects and they know the value of it.

I do not see much difference between how the community would be able to contribute towards Dota 2 like they do with DotA.

[Chewy]

Not much since they havent given many dota 2 keys. So, i think its probably going to be different.

Really? My friend is playing it right now... I'll e-mail Ice Frog now that I have the free time.
Double-Edit:

And why arent you playing than? I think we cant beg no where.

We can't? Well I don't really have the time to try another game, but since I was anticipating DoTA I feel guilty about not begging :/
Guess I should get keys for my team too. Are we allowed to Livestream the in-game content yet? I guess I just don't want to get all excited and then be denied a key. I could always beg my friend to let me use his account, but he might get angry at me

Spoiler for :

[Revive Is OP]

I'll take that as a "yes we can show in-game footage". But yeah... I guess the main reason I haven't begged is because I spend way too much time with my guild to allow for new addictions unless I brought my guild with me. Here's my website: http://colossusgaming.guildlaunch.com
I'll see what they think about DoTA 2. Since it's by Valve it must be good...

[Chewy]

Nice guild. I would really recommend them to play this game. If you start a clan in this game it would be really awsome. And if your a tournament guy your clan would probably love tournaments.

[Lynx]

lookin good!

[syNth]

Beastmaster's Wild Axes now flow along the ground, and are more prominent overall.

Can someone give me a link to a video of this? I really wanna see it!

[Chewy]

Yes i would love to see that also. Because they werent really good before. I want to see how they fixed that.
