Dignitas vs Alliance to watch while you stress out about tickets~!

 

[The Technomancer]

Recently started playing this and now I'm hooked. Was playing centaur a lot at first but then I tried Axe and now he's my main. Here are my stats http://dotabuff.com/players/52532487

Any tips for a relatively new player?

Try to get good with at least one hero of each role so you can fill whatever your team needs. You seem to enjoy tanky characters, and Centaur is a good initiator. I'd also learn a support or two, a ganker, another initiator, and a good disabler. My recommendations would be to give these guys a try:

Lich
Sand King
Bounty Hunter
Luna
Shadow Shaman
Ogre Magi
Queen of Pain

IT WENT THOUGH! I was stuck in an autroization loop, and gave up hope, but the transaction went though! I got a ticket!

And I won my bet one EG!

 

[FlutterPuffs]

So pissed with Valve.

You book hotel yet?

 

[Drkirby]

You book hotel yet?

Not yet, I figured I would wait till I got the actual ticket before booking anything.

You going Steve?

 

[mkenyon]

I go back to the store, see that it is in my cart.

My heart flutters in excitement.

Go to checkout. ITS STILL THERE

Go to authorize payment. Error.

Now it's not in my cart. What a rollercoaster.

I better see a dotaGAF poster when they pan around the audience.

[balladofwindfishes]

the fact you can re-sell these on the market is kind of gross

 

[Anuxinamoon]

Didnt get my tickets ;___;

 

[Moppet13]

Woo, I got a ticket! Be right back time for a victory nap.

 

[mkenyon]

the fact you can re-sell these on the market is kind of gross

Yeah.

 

[Technosteve]

You going Steve?

I'll see if i can get a ticket after work. I am seriously thinking about it.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Scalping is gross and all, but for what you're getting I still don't think $200 is that bad for it.

$50 for it is a fucking steal.

 

[Conceptor]

they're up for trade on reddit/dota2trade for 2x the value and probably will be on playdota etc as well

 

[Drkirby]

Didnt get my tickets ;___;

Just buy the 5x normal price one, you know you want to.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Didnt get my tickets ;___;

you being you, you could probably just ask Valve for one

 

[bounchfx]

yeah overall this has been a frustrating experience, 1/10 would not want to participate again

 

[Übermatik]

Digital tickets don't sell out, right? I'm safe if I wait a bit?

 

[SteveWinwood]

Digital tickets don't sell out, right? I'm safe if I wait a bit?

While digital items can't in theory sell out, the seats that are available in the hall are limited. So yeah they're already sold out.

How many TF2 hats for 1 ticket?

 

[Technosteve]

How much is the second hand price of tickets right now?

 

[Drkirby]

How many TF2 hats for 1 ticket?

Depends on the hats. Lets go with 100.

 

[TommyT]

How much is the second hand price of tickets right now?

Last I saw was at $180.

I mean the ticket where you get the courier and shiz.

 

[Tenck]

Can't even buy Mirana hair. I don't even want your stupid tickets anymore Valve. Let me buy anything else.

 

[SteveWinwood]

I mean the ticket where you get the courier and shiz.

The compendium. That will not sell out, no.

Speaking of which, I got mine.

 

[F#A#Oo]

How much is the second hand price of tickets right now?

It's rape your wallet price.

 

[Drkirby]

I mean the ticket where you get the courier and shiz.

Oh, the books. They are an infinite amount.

They need to make it easier to turn the page for the Compendium, its much harder then it should be.

 

[Arol]

Nevermind,

 

[Tobe]

how do you close the book?? ohh found it...

qualifiers are

Qpad or EG

then LGD and well second place dont know.

 

[Head of Vengarl]

Damn, I feel bad for you guys who didn't get tickets. I'm reading the thread on r/dota2 about it and some of the people are raging about not getting their tickets. I wonder how if volvo is going to respond?

 

[Drkirby]

There should be a close button below it.

For West, I choice EG and Mouz.

For East, LGD and I picked at random.


So, anyone think any team is actually going to try a level 1 rosh? And the predictions are going to be damn hard to get right. Hero with the most first bloods? Uhhh....

 

[Ultrabum]

Damn, I feel bad for you guys who didn't get tickets. I'm reading the thread on r/dota2 about it and some of the people are raging about not getting their tickets. I wonder how if volvo is going to respond?

By making quality cars?

 

[SaberVulcan]

Surprised to hear there were no limits on ticket purchases. Assumed they'd handle it like Blizzcon handled theirs, which was limit of 2 per customer.

 

[SteveWinwood]

They won't. They can't.

It sucks, but not everyone was going to get one who wanted one. There is just no way.

Also I took a bunch of screenshots of the compendium and they're not showing up anywhere. I don't think steam actually took them or maybe you can't take them with f12 while looking at the compendium.

 

[Pureauthor]

Damn, I feel bad for you guys who didn't get tickets. I'm reading the thread on r/dota2 about it and some of the people are raging about not getting their tickets. I wonder how if volvo is going to respond?

By laughing as they get paid first for the bought ticket from the Store and then a second time from the Market.

It's genius. Evil, twisted genius.

When you "use" the ticket, is the ticket locked to that steam account? How do they check for validity of the owner when you enter the venue?

.

 

[mkenyon]

There's still a ticket in my cart. Fails every time I go to checkout.

 

[Deadly]

Well Banaroya Hall can only accommodate 2500 people... All we can do is hope all those seats actually go to someone.

 

[xanavi]

I'm curious to see how much the price changes between now and August. My gut is telling me that the scalpers will be the first to blink and lower their prices but at the same time there must be some pretty desperate folk out there.

 

[JustinBB7]

.

It will be in your backpack, once you actually USE it, it's tied to your account.

 

[Artanisix]

.

Ticket is locked to you once you use it.

Also sad that I didn't get my ticket, I wasn't 100% sure if I was gonna go or not but I wanted a ticket just in case.

 

[KScorp]

You will get information on how to get your physical ticket later.

There's still a ticket in my cart. Fails every time I go to checkout.

Likely because it's actually sold out.

 

[Stahsky]

Dignitas did well that game

 

[F#A#Oo]

Valve don't care as long as they get their money that's all that matters. Obviously though if there is a great enough backlash they may implement ticket purchase restrictions in future.

 

[mkenyon]

The amount of money made on this kind of thing is fucking peanuts to Valve.

Take your stock comments and go to reddit.

Likely because it's actually sold out.

Yeah. It was more confusion on it not being removed from my cart because it's sold out.
