Eh...its because of Blizzard, DoTA has a chance of existing at all. No Blizzard probably DoTA would have never existed.

Developing a game is a lot more different that just modding a game. I think you dont realise the amount of work involved in it. We are talking about concept work, concept artwork, developing the fiction/storyline, building the the level editor to build the game. Then early protoype/pre Alpha. Testing then more development to Alpha...then more testing...more developing till you get to final(that in itself is a very very long process). Then testing some more...if not good neough delay some more.

And making an efficient and good game engine(3D) is not that easy...and takes many many man hours and lot of money(for tools and paying the expert in engine programming).

Modders are talented and all(some of them). But make no mistake that it takes a lot more to make a full game and resources and even knowledge that the modder may lack.

Please for the love of god/satan/no one(if you are an atheist) do not equate a mod to the same level of a full game no matter how cool a mod is. Because it mainly modifies only a small part of a game and it can never completely change the core of the game itself.

In essence you want to know the truth? DoTA is just a map. The mode of gameplay is actually developed by Blizzard as just a small add on to the main campaign. The DoTA creator took that made made it a mod with new maps. Of course then he expanded it with new(ripped off from other blizzard games) units.

DoTA is a spin off from that Warcraft 3 game mode!!!!

Seriously i think thats enough of ranting for me.

fail post is fail

i thought it's because we copy warcraft 3 file directly from cc?

IceFrog also spent more than 4 years to improve DOTA game. who said the amount of work involved is lesser for DOTA?

Because he is a single person Blizzard is a team of people and they takes ages to make a NEW game. A mod relative to a new game is nothing in terms of work hours/effort.

Its obvious that this fella here has no experience in software, let alone game development.

minesweeper.. i already solve this problem.. i got the fatal error because of my ram didnt plug in tightly.. after i fix it no fatal error anymore..

about the lagging game.. its because of my processor.. i think it getting hot and thats why my game lagging.. i change the fan that have high ampere than the old 1 and my dota works so great.. however i lost the game darn..

anyway thx 4 ur information..
