Easy workaround is to allow the camera to zoom out more. To do that, open up the console with CTRL+F8 and type in g_camdistancemax <n>
and replace 'n' with a number ranging from 1650 to 2200. 1650 is the default value and anything after 2200 will cause graphical issues. I personally use 'g_camdistancemax 2200'.

So who's going to pre-order the game? Any opinions on the USD$30 price? Considering it, but I would like some feedback from you guys, since this is quite a huge sum for a game not even in open-beta yet.

Do you know why last hit and denies at the ABSOLUTE last hit are important? They are so one can mantain lane control and stagnate the pushing. Every single hit to a creep will accumulate and eventually you will push too far away from your tower.

This is especially cruicial middle lane, whereby one needs to ensure the creeps are on YOUR side of the river or at least on the river itself so you can have the terrain advantage. One little mistake and many of the good western players will rape you because of it.

And little update :
I have ONE beta invite from my spare account to give away. I'm not going to give it to new members who joined like yesterday or a few days ago, but if any of the nicer senior members wants to have a hands on go at this game don't hesistate to request for it from me here.

Good scouts max it. Good scouts use their Marksman Shot to initiate ganks.

But no good scout exists in a team gank. Tell me how fast can you farm with a scout? The best you can get as a team player would be Kudra and Basher or Savage Mace to disable channelers. Even then a Jereziah + Tempest combination would rape you to the ground so hard that you wouldn't respawn. Ever.

A high tier Tempest farms Kudra + Portal Key in approx. 25 minutes. I can do it in 27 minutes personally, Choyster as well. Gail could probably do it even faster. Tell me how can ANY scout outfarm a Tempest? You CAN'T ambush him in the jungle because 6 x minions shooting you for 51 damage each + his stun would just..well kill you. Plus a good team wards their jungle entry points.

Meanwhile he gets outlaned by heroes such as Jereziah, Thunderbringer and even Magmus which are pretty much top picks. Scout is seriously useless in a proper game.

Yeah. But those who go to the CC's will most probably bring along a hard drive or thumbdrive to copy paste the files.

If anything I HOPE that many of our nation's DotA players don't join. HoN CBT is already full of twats and douchebags, what more if we added the Singaporean ah bengs and Malaysian Dotards? That's equivalent to division by zero.

Cheesenium is right, RM106 is a steep price to pay for them, and I certainly hope it deters them unless they change their attitudes  for the better and actually show proper manners prevalent in good gamers with the right attitudes.
QFT. Channel Malaysia is nice right now and the community (although small) is pretty well mannered. I certainly HOPE it stays that way. Maybe we can poll together to request S2 to give us our own permenant channel and appoint some moderators.
What I am more concerned about is LAN play. Its already disgusting enough to listen to dotard's go "come 1v1 me la" and that nonsense. But at least they won't get updates because you NEED an account to update your version. AHA!

Rofl, everyone's in panic mde since the server is under maintenance....

That Pro-Mx guy sure loves playing Cod4 .....still wanna ask why people wanna buy this game lol.

As for the "Taunt" from pre purchase...it doesn't act like the legionaire's taunt, It just make your hero bcome visible for a few secs and within that few secs whoever you taunted can see where you are on map.

The guys who have pre ordered and done this a few times can explain bttr than I can.

Also....Dota was started by Icefrog.....who says its not ? If he wasn't the guy who started it....why did S2 games bother asking him for permission to design this game...
