Support NeoGAF

They fixed illusions dropping items that you could then sell, but now apparently you can tell which model is the illusion and which is the real hero if you have player names enabled.

Oh snap, at least it doesn't break the game.

Just checked the "Watch" tab and you can now get info for all ongoing matches (still can't spectate games tho) the featured minimap now updates all hero positions every few seconds, that's pretty darn cool, will come in handy when multiple matches on the same tourney are being played and you just want to catch key moments in the game.

sound files are broke and I can't use NBA JAM

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Is finding a ranked match still disabled or do we know when they might enable it?

Why would you even want to play ranked on Reborn right now? Pretty sure there's still a lot of bugs.

Did you post this to stealth brag about all the gifts you get, Ms. Popular?

Naw, those were my immortal trades.

 

[Carlius]

are people playing in the new beta? plus i cant spectate games...sad day

 

[Haly]

30 minutes from now, I will be farming the jungle. Imagine where you will be, and it will be so. Hold the line! Stay with me! If you find yourself alone, pushing creepwaves without any vision, do not be troubled. For you are out of position, and you're already dead!

Brothers, what we do in the lane... echos in eternity.

 

[pompidu]

um anyway to play without downloading the beta? keep pausing the download and starting dota again. We have to take on reborn beta?

edit: I cannot start dota2, shoulda made that clear

 

[Saprol]

Fuck it just going to unistall reborn.



Oh and Saprol needs to add the emoticons from thecoli so our posting experience gets 100 times better.

The what.

Try to launch "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\dota.exe" (or what ever your path is).

 

[Drkirby]

Panorama is nice, though its a bit finicky to make content look like you want.

The Dead Winter set's concept art makes a damn good loading screen:

HOLY FUCK SHIT BOUNCH

IT COMES WITH THE FUCKING GLIDER OMFG

 

[Anno]

Finally logged in to check out the Beta, ended up with a surprisingly Envyesque pentagram.

 

[bounchfx]

HOLY FUCK SHIT BOUNCH
IT COMES WITH THE FUCKING GLIDER

hehe, I think there might actually be two versions depending on where you buy it? one with glider one without. I'm not entirely sure though! we should know very soon.

edit: here's the non glider one

 

[Quesa]

Can you even download replays by match id yet? Haven't figured out how.

 

[shira]

hehe, I think there might actually be two versions depending on where you buy it? one with glider one without. I'm not entirely sure though! we should know very soon.

Don't fuck with me. You can see his backpack is full. Full of glider shit.

[pompidu]

so has anyone actually successfully played a game in reborn?

 

[TUSR]

so has anyone actually successfully played a game in reborn?

ive played like 3

 

[SteveWinwood]

so has anyone actually successfully played a game in reborn?

like a normal game? not sure why you'd want to

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

so has anyone actually successfully played a game in reborn?

Tons of custom games, if I wanted to play a normal game I'd play it in the normal client, there's no possible advantage to playing it in Reborn as the HUD is the same anyway and performance improvements aren't noticeable just yet with the amount of bugs and stuff.

 

[SilentRacoon]

so has anyone actually successfully played a game in reborn?

Yes I played a normal match today as Lina, had feeding PA that abandoned 10 mins into the game, business as usual.

If you get to play overthrow be sure to pick Necrophos, people will love you, trust me.

Well it seems the host, never chooses anything and ya just sit. Or the game will just sit. Cant get into the game. Host dropping etc...

That is caused by a current glitch in the game that doesn't detect when players exit the client causing all these ghost servers you see.

[Sigismundo]

I've played a few normal games (haven't managed to play a custom game yet). Stuff seems to work fine but it feels a little bit off.

HOLY SHIT I GOT IN A GAME OF OVERTHROW

 

[pompidu]

this beta is insanely buggy. wow.
they really should have waited a bit longer before releasing this

 

[Saprol]

The point of the beta is to find and fix these bugs.

 

[inkls]

this beta is insanely buggy. wow.
they really should have waited a bit longer before releasing this

rofl, the irony of that statement

 

[Quesa]

Yeah maybe they have let people test it for a lil bit. They'd prob need a wider pool of people to do it, too, to catch all the issues. Probably would have been best to release it as a beta first

 

[pompidu]

rofl, the irony of that statement

ive played tons of betas, ive never experienced this level of shitty network issues, non loading etc. this should be called an alpha ffs

 

[Quesa]

The problem is that people have bee conditioned to think betas are demos. They're not, or shouldn't really be.

 

[TUSR]

use your head

 

[Syder]

After seeing the Dota Cinema video, Huskar + Omni looks like an OP combo in Overwatch Overthrow.

 

[SteveWinwood]

no you havent

you dont know what alpha and beta mean

 

[pompidu]

.

Yes this is good, just tried this.

no you havent

you dont know what alpha and beta mean

Ok sorry, using those terms loosely.

 

[Kard8p3]

hopefully immortals soon

 

[pompidu]

i will say the UI is gorgeous, and everthing feels smooth while in it.

 

[patchday]

The problem is that people have bee conditioned to think betas are demos. They're not, or shouldn't really be.

This is why I usually don't participate in beta. I like to play the final product. But the ability to play those custom games sure sound nice.

 

[shira]

hopefully immortals soon

It's weird, I thought they would have announced all the VIP stuff, Afterparty, Extended goals, Immortal III.

2BC4IMMORTAL3

ESLONE

 

[TUSR]

hopefully immortals soon

ayy

lmao

 

[NormalFish]

Custom Games sound cool except I can't play them

 

[bounchfx]

bounch if they sell them at TI5 can you autograph mine so i can white it out?

of course, but i want you to autograph the bottom of my shoe because my shoe is a piece of shit just like you you son of a bitch I'll get you for that

 

[pompidu]

Custom Games sound cool except I can't play them

probably hit accept 50 times so far, only played one game out of that

 

[NormalFish]

probably hit accept 50 times so far, only played one game out of that

I don't have the chance to hit accept. 'Download Queued' to infinity

 

[Cyborgmatt]

I may have kidnapped a Redpaw plushie earlier today when we were at the venue. Sorry bounch.
