Well, playing this game reminds me of DoTA of Warcraft 3. What do you guys reckon?? Any opinion?? (I don't know where to place this topic so i decided to place it here instead.

)

Hahahahhhha and how in the world does it remind you of DotA?
I see no semblance at all.

Lasareth · Oct 22, 2005, 08:37 AM // 08:37

I dunno... the closest thing to DoTA I can think of is the Undead Hordes quest. Bad memories

*gets eaten by a bone dragon*

huh · Oct 22, 2005, 08:38 AM // 08:38

Eh are we talking about the same DotA?
As in the overpowered naix and jahrakal DotA?

Lasareth · Oct 22, 2005, 08:39 AM // 08:39

o.o I dunno. I only played the old first version of it.

It's the map that the TFT mission with Illidan in the cage is modeled after, right? >_> The one where you have to get his cage to roll to your base..
I dunno

<-- getting my mileage off that phrase

huh · Oct 22, 2005, 08:43 AM // 08:43

Hmmm I don't think we're talking the same DotA then

There were no cages in the one I played.
Two sides: Scourge vs Sentinel.
The objective was to destroy each other's thrones.

I started at version 5.84 and ended at 6.09.
I don't know whats it up to now.

ehemm... another game comparason thread that will go up in flammes... and this isnt the usuall WoW-Gw ones either... after all.. Dota is only an extention to Warcraft... altho a highly played mod...

nimloth32 · Oct 22, 2005, 08:51 AM // 08:51

yeah i also refer to the Scourge vs Sentinel DoTA. What is that referring to 'eaten up by bone dragon' ???? Anyway, after all, DoTA is also about PvP isn't it?? except for DoTA you can level up from level 1 to 25 less than an hour. =)

Lag Hell · Oct 22, 2005, 08:54 AM // 08:54

Dota is really fun... altho most heros are HIGHLY UNDERPOWERED and cant do shit... *cough night stalker...

huh · Oct 22, 2005, 08:58 AM // 08:58

I don't see why this game would end up in flames...
I've never PvP'ed in Guild Wars before so I don't know about that part.

DotA = 6 items you can carry anything you like.
Guild Wars = 2 items

DotA = 4 skills
Guild Wars = 8 skills

Thats the only thing remotely similar I can think of

Edit:
Night Stalker as in Balanar?
Underpowered?
With the right items, he's definitely a force to be reckoned with.

The only 2 heroes that are overpowered in DotA are Naix and Jahrakal.
But they're late game heroes.

I think DotA is pretty balanced.
Intel = early to mid game heroes.
Agility = mid to end game heroes.
Strength = mid to end game heroes.

The only underpowered hero I can think of is Broodmother or KotL.
But they push damn fast.
Every hero has its uses.

lol..i was thinking about sven..here we are still playing 5.84c..the stormbolt is quite scary..anyway, i just want to let my friend to see this post and let them know if they can spend 10-12 hours a day on DoTA, the same amount of time is better spent on something else like Guild Wars or perhaps get a life instead..

nimloth32 · Oct 22, 2005, 09:07 AM // 09:07

By the way, no offense, huh (refer to the guy who is know as lord huh from hou lan keng guild), how come you do not play PvP?? You play Guild Wars just for the sake of grinding????..hmmmm...O_o

huh · Oct 22, 2005, 09:07 AM // 09:07

Sven is among the overpowered.
But a Jahrakal or Naix who is fed well would easily kill a well-fed Sven.

BKB = GG Storm Bolt

Jahrakal perma-bash for the win.
Naix can also do a semi-perma-bash.

nimloth32, any chance you're from Malaysia?

Edit:
Nah I don't take offense.
Its quite hard to offend me, especially online.

Here are my reasons:
First, I don't think I'm experienced enough. I haven't even completed the game once yet. Not that I can't, I just don't want to at the moment. I've never even attempted the Ring of Fire mission yet.

Second, I'm not experienced enough. I've only played with a W/Mo, and a N/Me (both are up to Ring of Fire). Before I completed with my W/Mo, I started with my N/Me. And now before I complete the game with either, I started on my third, a Mo/E.

Third, I'm not experienced enough. I haven't played enough professions to know what others can do. Due to character-slot restrictions, I can only have these 3 (with one more for PvP), so I tried to play 3 characters who are as different as possible.

So, until I complete the game with these 3 characters, I won't start PvP'ing. I don't like to die and then ask "what the hell hit me?". I've done enough of that during my introduction to DotA.

From your first few posts, I already thought you were a Malaysian.
And this was the dead give-away:

Hahahahaah why do you say I'm a noob in DotA?
I think I'm pretty good (and modest

).
I'd rate myself halfway between average and the top players.
In random online games, I usually take the role of commander and usually end up top.
Against friends, I do pretty badly since they thrashed Inferno's and Warnet's house team.

I stopped playing DotA since I started Guild Wars (about 4 months now). Played DotA for 8 months before that.

I'm currently studying in Australia. My guild is as small as they come with only 3 members (me, my bro, and my cousin).
I'd be happy to send you an invite if you want but keep in mind that they don't play as much as I do.
Both their combined hours are probably 1/4 of mine.
In any case, you can just add me to friend's and I'll help whenever I can.

nimloth32 · Oct 22, 2005, 09:52 AM // 09:52

oic..sory, i don't know you are 'hou lan geng'..haha..just now i go to main page for a while..looks like both of us already making this thread into hot thread..lol..if the moderator founds out, they only find that it was only two malaysian who are chatting with each other making this thread popular..lol

HAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Yeah...I'll take one shot at who's gonna come and close this thread - Savio.

Hahahahaahhahahhaha
Okok back to topic to stop it from getting closed.

Where do you play DotA?
I used to play at Netmaster in DJ, near KDU.
Once in a while I'd take the 10-hour package from E-Zone at Mid Valley.

nimloth32 · Oct 22, 2005, 10:09 AM // 10:09

i played DoTA at warnet klang. Last year, i used to go to inferno, globalnet and warnet subang to play DoTA. I played at warnet klang more often now. However, i considered myself retired due to boredom after spending a fortune. Since Guild Wars is cheap and available over 56k connection, i choose to play Guild Wars and i know i am making a good choices. =)
