Dota Allstars

[VulcanRaven]

Volevo aprire un thread per parlare di questa bellissima modalità per il gioco warcraft 3.
Per chi non conoscesse questo gioco,si tratta di una mappa particolare per il gioco Warcraft 3:The Frozen Throne.
Le modalità di gioco sono le piu svariate,ma tutto si riduce nell'obbiettivo fondamentale del gioco che è:difendere il proprio antico e distruggere l'antico della base avversaria.
Le fazioni sono due,the sentinel con strutture che sono quelle degli elfi,mentre l'altra è the scourge con strutture che sono appunto quelle dei non morti.
Come?
La modalità di gioco è un 5on5,ogni player sceglie un eroe (a meno che non venga scelta una modalità di randomizzazione) fra circa 90 eroi disponibili.

Gli eroi sono divisi in tre grandi gruppi.
Gli strenght (forza),sono eroi diciamo Tank,la forza incide sugli hp e sull'armatura nel loro caso.
Agility,sono eroi dediti al fare danno per secondo,infatti la loro abilità primaria (l'agilità) incide sull'attacco e sulla velocità d'attacco.
Intelligence,sono eroi dediti al fare magie,di qualsiasi tipo,la loro skill primaria influisce sul loro danno,mana totali,velocità di recupero mana,sono i migliori pg in mid game.

Perchè giocare a dota:
-cerchi un gioco in cui fraggare,dominare,accerchiare killare,un po come negli fps,ma senza la filosofia di mirare sparare ecc...questo è un gioco d'intelligenza
-cerchi un gioco strategico,che esca dai canoni del classico strategico
-ti piace customizzare il tuo pg con armi e build differenti

Perchè non giocare a dota:
-non si puo leftare durante la partita (o meglio si puo ma si lascia il team in 4v5 e nessuno puo subentrare a te
-le partite durano un po,un po variabile da un mininimo di 25-30 minuti a un massimo di un paio d'ore.in ogni caso è lo stile di gioco che influisce molto su cio

Come faccio a giocare a DotA?
Innanzitutto devi avere una copia di warcraft 3 + frozen throne.
Devi patchare tutto all'ultima versione (che non richiede il cd).
Ci sono due modi principali,il primo è giocare su battlenet e cercare una stanza in cui si giochi a dota.
Il secondo è su garena.
Garena è molto piu diffuso di battlenet.
Questo per due fondamentali motivi:
-non controlla la cd key a differenza di battlenet cosi che tanta gente semplicemente scarica da torrent,da emule,dal vicino mette una qualsiasi cd key che funzioni anche illegale e gioca.
-garena ha una serie di utility e l'anticheat che garantiscono un gioco di qualità superiore

Cos'è garena?
Garena è un programma scaricabile dal sito www.garena.com gratuitamente.
Installiamo il programma e creiamo un nostro utente.
Una volta fatto questo,logghiamo su garena e nelle opzioni dobbiamo indicare il path dell'exe di frozen throne.
Fatto questo scegliamo una stanza,entriamo,facciamo launch game,e in LAN troviamo game creati da altri,o ne possiamo creare dei nostri a nostra volta.

[Radical]

:oldchepiùoldnonsipuò:

[VulcanRaven]

vabbe ma c'è qualcuno che ci gioca ancora?

[Zell]

Si io e F_viola90 ci giochiamo volentieri se ci fosse gente che ci gioca :asd:

Mesi fa erano dota su dota così d'estate e l altro anno... ormai un cazzo :(

[Capitan USop]

io ho provato a giocare qualche volta con la gente che ha postato qui, ma la maggior parte di loro ha un carattere pessimo quindi ho preferito evitare.
se lasci il nick ci si fa una partita, oggi dovrei esserci da pomeriggio inoltrato.

[Zell]

si ma abituati a insulti random audhaudh cioè è normale ;D

[BaLoOo]

flammare i noobs? bellissimo come me li prendevo io all'inizio ve li sorbettate.. putroppo poi in dota.. le cazzate di uno sono molto importanti.. cioe'.. se c'e' il ritardato di turno rischi di buttare due ore senza senso.. :/

e' un gioco particolare.. le cazzate anche minime si pagano care .. e puoi essere due /tre player piu forti del mondo ma se gli altri due sono ritardati celebrolesi perdi.

cmq boh se ci siete go di dota :rulez:

cmq W il search ci sono altri 3D e ci giocano in tanti.. ma tutti come secondo gioco o passatempo.. :/ vedere un gioco cosi figo.. snobbato.. mi piange il cuore :( speriamo con SC2 diventi, non piu giocato perche di ita che ci giocano ce ne stanno, ma giocato in maniera piu decente almeno :)

[CeLesTiaL]

umbe guarda che gli insulti li prendi ancora, sia per il noob sia perchè sei tard

ma fanno una dota di sc2?

[Capitan USop]

bona si fa un riassunto dei nick? che probabile che foste stati voi a giocare con me ma poi v'ho cancellati :asd: ci si riprova?

tutto quello che dici, baloo, è vero. è in tutto e per tutto un teamgame. nel mio caso particolare ci son volte in cui ingrano subito, altre in cui non mi viene proprio. e parlo di casi in cui ho lo stesso eroe eh. il fatto è che non sono uno che si mette a insultare a random la gente (se non si è amici) per un nonnulla, e sentirmi insultare a random per un mezzo errore non mi garba. sarà che ormai son troppo vecchio per giocare al pc, che ti devo dire :asd:

cmq sono babishh in game, c'è qualcuno disponibile ora?

[Capitan USop]

guardando i video di sc2 mi sale una bava allucinante, l'unico problema è che con gli strategici in cui c'è da controllare più di un'unità sbarello :rotfl: a warcraft son sempre stato una sega allucinante e sempre lo sarò, ad esempio

idem.... infatti faccio schifo a dota ma sempre meglio di quanto faccio schifo a wc3.

[Capitan USop]

si ma sgancia nick di garena, pavido ;) :asd:

[BaLoOo]

no ma devono passare dota su sc2 nulla piu :)

cmq boh nick: unbealievable / sm000tly / needskill

ed altri.. :/

[Capitan USop]

sul primo hai la buddy list piena, il secondo non lo trova, t'ho addato col terzo.

[happo]

dota su sc2 ?? e che centra ??

ma che lavori alla Blizzard baloo ? :|

[BaLoOo]

cosa c'entra dota con la blizzard amico?

se sei un po dentro le community di dota e' old che appena esce sc2 cercheranno di portare dota su quel gioco..

@usop: riaddami al primo ho fatto spazio in friendlist

[Zell]

bhè se lo portano su sc2... fa un boom assurdo e potrebbe diventare un gioco parecchio giocato e con buoni tornei. Cosa che non è così ora...

[happo]

cosa centra la blizzard ? sei cosi informato e non lo sai ?

informati bene prima di sparare cazzate dai :asd:

[FuckAuthority]

io ho provato a giocare qualche volta con la gente che ha postato qui, ma la maggior parte di loro ha un carattere pessimo quindi ho preferito evitare.

che strano :rotfl:

[BaLoOo]

cosa centra la blizzard ? sei cosi informato e non lo sai ?

informati bene prima di sparare cazzate dai :asd:

dota con la blizzard centra poco.. invece di fare :asd::rotfl: e le faccine da biancoceleste mediocre argomenta :)

[happo]

purtroppo non ci stanno le faccine biancocelesti :(

a quanto pare ci sarà già una modalità tipo DOTA dentro SC2, che si chiamerà Fantasy, dove ci sono eroi, oggetti e quanto altro..

sempre da voci di corridoio pare che nell'editor di SC2 ci sia la possibilità di creare mappe per questa modalità.. della serie, gli hanno fottuto l'idea implementando il tutto già dentro SC2.

Pare che ci saranno anche gli eroi in SC2, dopo le molte lamentele arrivate alla Blizzard per il fatto che senza di essi il gioco è "troppo" simile al vecchio SC.. ma queste sono tutte cose che la Blizzard non ha confermato ma non ha nemmeno smentito.

vedremo.. ancora è presto, conoscendo la blizzard chissà quante volte posticiperanno l'uscita :asd:

[FuR!a]

una modalità TIPO dota non è dota johnny

cmq zell è uno dei player più scarsi mai visti a dota :asd: noi lo chiamavamo il creep neutrale
baloo fa schifo anche lui però si crede pro e ti tritura i coglioni whinando a manetta
la community italiana è ristretta e flammosa

invece dota sta avendo PARECCHIO successo proprio in questi ultimi tempi...non a caso ci sarà ai WCG
inoltre è il mod più giocato al mondo non supportato dalla casa madre (cs non rientra in questa categoria quindi)

[happo]

johnny non c'è qua hai sbagliato sezione.

Per precisare... una modalità del genere ha di DOTA una cosa come il 15%... :asd: Sono davvero scettico nel pensare che la blizzard si metta a curare una modalità del suo sc2 per farlo essere DOTA quando già deve farsi il culo per rendere SC2 il gioco strategico dei prossimi 30 anni :D
Speriamo che icefrog and company portino invece la mappa su sc2 e che la blizzard sviluppi almeno eroi e abilità di base come in wc3 così che poi loro ci possano lavorare sopra :D

[VulcanRaven]

allora ti ho gia in buddy

ma intanto speriamo bene in sc2,per dota ci pensera icefrog,anche se preferirei vederlo su warcraft 4 personalmente (atteso entro due anni)

[VulcanRaven]

intanto ho aggiornato i nicknames sul primo post

[S3ccO]

Beh intanto se mettono nel codice del gioco gli eroi con exp ed oggetti significa che bisogna solo creare una mappa pari pari al dota di wc3.

Comunque in ogni caso imo DotA continuerà ad esistere, alla fine sticazzi di avere il gioco portato su sc2.

si ma infatti... io non capisco però perchè venga così snobbato come gioco da giocare seriamente e viene usato sempre come second game su cui sfogarsi...

[Capitan USop]

per penso la quarta volta :asd:: babishh

[happo]

se quello che si legge in giro è vero, ci saranno già pure le mappe.. visto che gli eroi e gli items pare siano intenzionati a metterli.

una volta che SC2 sarà pronto, fare una cosa tipo DOTA non costa assolutamente nessuna fatica. E poi non mi stupirebbe questa cosa, alla fine è noto a tutti che DOTA ha avuto un gran successo e se questa mossa possa portare alla Blizzard ancora più gente a giocare al proprio gioco, perchè non farlo ??

[S3ccO]

Si infatti sarebbe una cosa che conviene a loro stessi.

Cmq io spero facciano una modalità come dota su sc2, anche perchè se la fa la blizzard possono tirare fuori na roba da sbavo.

[FuR!a]

Q: Any plans on creating DotA for SC2 once it is out?

A: I certainly plan on playing SC2; I am a huge fan of the original Starcraft. It is hard for me to say whether I will do modding for Starcraft 2 at this point. It depends a lot on what capabilities the editor will have, so it is too early to give an answer right now. In either case though, I enjoy what I'm doing and have no plans to stop development on Warcraft 3 anytime soon

;)

[happo]

sai leggere l'inglese ? hai capito cosa dice ? ;)

[FuR!a]

sì, ti faccio la traduzione


ma chi te se incula johnny

;)

[happo]

hahaha

ti ho già detto che johnny non è qui.. sei duro eh..

cmq come era stato già accennato si parla di editor, perchè se è vero quello che è stato detto.. eventualmente fare un dota su sc2 diventerà un gioco da ragazzi.

[happo]

votate per il Dark Templar preferito..


http://www.starcraft2.com/features/protoss/darktemplar-vote.xml

[FuR!a]

ma questo non era il topic di dota?

non è proprio cosi.
dipende se è possibile introdurre skin e personaggi

[ShaqKobe]

Mi sono appena registrato ed inizio ora a giocare x la prima volta a dota...nick: ShaqKobe_it

[S3ccO]

non è proprio cosi.
dipende se è possibile introdurre skin e personaggi

E' sempre stato possibile il prob è che se in una mappa metti 20 model esterni al gioco la mappa pesa 100 mb

[Zell]

fosse solo quello.... certe personalizzazione sono leggermente difficili se l'editor non le comprende o comunque se ha un certo tipo d'impostazione. Non credo che la blizzard tirerà fuori una dota, ma più una mod con gli eroi, tipo le mappe custom di SC. Vedremo un pò cosa riuscirà a fare ice frog. Si ma poi che palle, non posso più giocare a dota col muletto se si gioca su SC2 :asd:

## Misc Highlight ##
####################

* Reorganized heroes into taverns based on hero class. There are now 3 taverns per class, the "good" tavern has the heroes that are easier to recognize as "good", the evil tavern has the heroes that are easier to recognize as "evil" and the mix as the ones that are in between. In each tavern the heroes are organized inside of it by alphabet. The Taverns are colored according to the class. For example, the good Intelligence tavern is Blue with the color darkening as it goes to the evil side.

* Side shops are now organized independent from their item slot in their original stores. This also fixes hotkey conflict issues.
* Reworked the side shop item layouts. There are now two shops there, a Goblin Laboratory and a Goblin Merchant. New items have been added to these shops. Here is the complete listing of the items in there:
Goblin Laboratory: Scroll of Town Portal, Magic Stick, Sobi Mask, Stout Shield, Ring of Regeneration, Ring of Health, Cloak, Helm of Iron Will, Mask of Death
Goblin Merchant: Slippers of Agility, Boots of Elvenskin, Belt of Giant Strength, Robe of the Mage, Quelling Blade, Gloves of Haste, Blades of Attack, Quarterstaff, Talisman of Evasion, Kelen's Dagger, Ultimate Orb
* Reorganized all the recipe shops. The goals are both to make room for the recently added items and more importantly to organize them in a manner that makes guessing correctly where an item is an easy task for both existing and new players. I know none of us like to relearn item layouts, but this is a good thing to do for the long run.
- There are 6 recipe shops now in the following order:
Gateway Relics: Misc items that are primarily early game upgrades
Supportive Vestments: Various support style items that you get for your team
Arcane Sanctum: Castable or spell heavy themed items
Protectorate: Has mainly defensive/survival style items
Enchanted Artificats: Mostly orb effect items (with the exception of Yasha)
Ancient Weaponry: All other weapon items.

Note: I'm aware that Aegis is no longer needed in the shops, but I'm keeping it there until we need the space to help new users be aware of its existance through Roshan.


######################
## Modes & Commands ##
######################

* Added a new game mode -cd (-CaptainsDraft) [details below]
* Added a new game mode -rs (-randomside) to randomize which side your team starts in. This does not shuffle the players. It just places a team randomly as either Sentinel or Scourge.
* Added -random Intelligence/Strength/Agility. It gives you 100 less bonus gold than the 250 bonus gold the regular -random gives you.

* Added a new -tips system.If you enter the command, the game will give you 5 pointers (at various stages in the game) that are unique to each hero to help you get the basics down. These are not intended to imply guideliens on how to play a hero, but rather as simple tips if you are new with that hero. These are a work in progress.
* Added -water random
* -water now supports any color combinations using -water r g b format

* You can now change the terrain using -terrain snow on a per user basis. It is no longer a game mode. The "-terrain" or "-terrain default" command reverts the terrain to its normal state. Some of the other terrain modes you guys have emailed me about are still being worked on. I disabled them from this version because of some glitches they cause that haven't been fixed yet. I will work on them more in the future if you guys want them.

* Added -disablehelp to Force Staff
* Added a command to display bonus gold received from Goblins Greed (-gg)
* Added -aa (Arrow Accuracy) for Elune's Arrow hit percentages
* -disablehelp now prevents items from being picked up by non-owners from the fountain area
* -oi is turned on by default in observer games. Using -oi will disable it instead.
* Added a sub command to -om that disables neutral spawns
* Added a player only command "rollhero" or "-rh" to randomly display a heroname. This has no actual functional effect in the game, just a small easy command that some players wanted for their play groups.
* AFK detection no longer considers a player to be AFK during the drafting phases of some game modes

* Switch is disabled by default. Added a new temporary game mode -switchon (-so). Haven't developed a new replacement system for switch yet. There are a few ideas I experimented with but nothing final yet. Based on the feedback I've gotten, I think the best thing to do is to disable it by default and allow a mode for it until a more suitable usage of it can be implemented.
* Improved the text presentation of -switch a little bit so the text is less intrusive


############################
## Gameplay & Performance ##
############################

* Added a few new terrain paths. Here are the rough areas that a change has been done in:
- To the right of the Sentinel Secret Shop above the ramp
- Above the Sentinel Goblin Shop
- Between the forest and the top Scourge lane
- Right side of sent jungle
- To the right of the second top Sentinel tower
- Added a new tree to the Scourge jungle
- In the area between the pair of Scourge neutrals near the powerup

* Range rax no longer has extra regeneration
* Added a new regeneration armor mechanism for towers and rax.
- The "regen armor" is stripped away whenever there are nearby creeps (or corpses). It gets restored once 15 seconds elapse without a nearby unit.
- If a tower or rax takes damage without the regen armor, that life lost can never be naturally regenerated. If it does have the regen armor, then it will regenerate at a rate of 40hp/seconds and take only 25% damage from illusions.
- Flagged areas are 1) All places considered in or near base 2) second Top Tower 3) second Mid Tower 4) second Bot Tower.

* Increased the non-splitting portion of the xp/gold from 8/level xp & 40 gold to 12*level xp & 30+5*level
* The non-splitting xp/gold bonuses are now doubled for EM like the rest of the xp/bounty system is

* Changed the damage type of the first tower to be Siege like the rest of the towers. Adjusted the damage table to keep the damage creeps take in the laning phase unchanged.
* Tower does not regenerate from allied damage (when trying to deny)

Captains Draft:
===============
24 Heroes are randomly allocated in a circle (like RD). The 24 consist of 8 random Intelligence/Agility/Strength heroes, sorted in that order along the circle.

Each team has a total time bank of 2.5 minutes. Blue/Pink draft the heroes for their entire team.

Blue and Pink start off by alternating 1/1/1/1 ban picks.
It then goes into a 1/2/2/2/2/1 hero draft.

Once a hero picks/bans a hero, it immediately switches to the other player to act.
Your timer is shown in read when it is your turn to act.

I am considering implementing a new order for the bans for this mode in the future. The bans would not all happen before the pick process, it would be in between picks. I decided to keep it the traditional way for now and get some feedback on alternatives.


Quelling Blade:
================
+36% bonus damage to non-hero units (12% for ranged heroes)
Tree Chop
- Kills a Tree

Khadgar's Pipe of Insight:
==========================
(2050) Hood of Defiance
(909) Natherzim Buckler
(800) Recipe

A powerful artifact of mysterious origin, this pipe gives the bearer the insight to summon fields of null energy which envelop nearby allies, protecting them from 400 spell damage. Buff lasts 8 seconds.

+5 Armor
Barrier (Active)
Cooldown: 60
Manacost: 100

Mechanic: Provides a 400 damage magic damage shield on nearby allied units. Affects Heroes and non-player creeps. If a unit already has this buff when another barrier is casted, it will override the buff with the new one instead of stacking additively. Buff lasts 8 seconds

Note: The 400 damage is before any magic reductions, not after. So a 300 damage spell removes 300 life from the shield, and not the 225 basic spell resistance. It is taken off the shield before it hits you, thus before any magic resistance is taken into effect.

For example, if this is level 3 and the target has 30% health, then you have 48 bonus attack damage.
If this is level 4 and the target has 15% health, then you have 128 bonus attack damage.

Movement Speed: 300

Cast Point 0.4
Attack Point 0.35
Hero Class: Strength


Since ancient times it has been prophesized by the Tauren elders that a Chieftain will come, strong as the mightiest warriors and wise as the eldest shamans. After many years of wandering the sacred lands, seeking wisdom from his forefathers, Cairne Bloodhoof has proven himself as the long awaited hero. Cairne carries with him the spirit of his mightiest ancestor, and now the ground shakes with the combined strength of the Chieftain and his guardian spirit. No physical nor magical barrier can reduce the power of his enchanted halberd, the weapon used by his guardian in ancient times. Such is the power of this axe that it can split the very earth itself. Seeking revenge for the ravaging of his homeland, Cairne will soon bring his wrath upon the Scourge.


Echo Stomp:
============
Calls upon the spirit of his ancestors to join him in an earth-shattering echo, rendering nearby foes unconcious. The spirit and Tauren Chieftain both deal 80 damage in the area, the Spirit dealing magical damage and the physical form dealing physical damage. Unconscious enemies will wake if they get hit. If the spirit is seperated from you, it will still perform its part of the spell.

If you damage a knocked out unit, it no longer becomes knocked out/immobile.

There is a spirit version of you doing the stomp animation with you at the same time (you can see it as well). You deal physical damage and it deals magical damage.

Physical Damage: 80
Magical Damage: 80
Channel Time: 1.4 seconds
AOE: 500
Knockout duration: 2/3/4/5 seconds
Manacost: 100/115/130/145
Cooldown: 15

Only player based damage can wake heroes. Damage dealt during a brief period after the stomp will not awaken heroes (0.65)


Ancestral Spirit:
=================
The Tauren Chieftain sends forth his guardian ancestor to bring ruin upon his foes. While seperate from the Chieftain, the spirit will mimic his movement and damage any unit it passes through. When it rejoins the Chieftain, it grants him bonus damage and movement speed for each enemy it has struck.


Magical Damage: 120/160/200/240
AOE: 275

Damage per creep: 3/6/9/12

If the spirit has not rejoined with you before that period, it will charge towards you to move back into you and enchant you.

Enchanted Time: 9 (The duration you have the buffs after the joining of the ancestral spirit)



Natural Order:
==============
Passive.

The Tauren Chieftain uses wisdom gathered throughout the ages to reduce everything to its most basic level. Removes base Magic and Physical resistance.

AOE: 250
Percentage nullification: 25%/50%/75%/100%

Note: This exists on the spirit as well.


Ultimate - Earth Splitter:
==========================
Using his mighty axe, the Tauren Chieften rends the very earth itself, sending a jagged crack under the feet of his enemies. After several seconds the earth implodes, sending his foes tumbling inwards. Any unit caught in the implosion will take damage based on their maximum life and have their speed slowed for a short time. Implodes after 3 seconds. Deals 35% of a unit's maximum HP.

Cast Range: 1600
Travel speed: 600 ms
Delay after maturity: 0.5 seconds
AOE: 350
Damage: 35% of each unit's maximum HP (half magical, half physical)
Slow Amount: 30/40/50%
Slow Duration: 3/4/5

Cooldown: 90/75/60
Manacost: 175

Example: You target a point, from where you are towards 1200 in the angle you click on, the split starts growing.
The split grows at 600 ms, so it takes 2 seconds to reach the end.
After it reaches the end, it plays an animation preparing for the implosion for 0.5 seconds and then it pulls everyone in and does the dmg/maim.

Thanks to everyone that helped test this version and to all the players that have sent their feedback and requests in. There are many changes in this patch, some depend on the other one, so you'll need to play it a bit to get a good idea for how things play out in practice. That being said, don't hesitate to give me your first impressions and your overall feelings towards the update. There will probably be a 6.60b or a 6.61 to follow this one, so let me know any mistakes you find or any suggestions for stuff to change.
