I'm also having serious issues with the game, notably colourblindness. I'm colourblind and the colourblind option doesn't do anything at all for me. I spent 3/4 matches trying to distinguish different things on the map and the minimap. Does not like

Spunge

How the hell do you bring up the console, the default nor changed button work for me ?
Also, from googling i found that you werent able to set the middle mouse button to do anything. Is this still the case ?

Cant bind that no.

Hmm interesting, perhaps the system to aid those who are colour-blind has not been implemented fully yet.

If I were you I would drop a note to the Dota 2 team. They could be looking for some people to give them feedback on that specific issue.

I'm fairly severely colourblind and have no issues at all with the game. What is it in particular?

I would Drop it in here DoTA2 Dev forum, some cool ideas in there, and also Icefrog regularly posts on topics that are fixed or being fixed

Once you have registered take a look at this suggestion, I think it looks cool

Improved picking screen

GO_Bear

Stolen from /r/dota2 and edited a bit :P I think it holds true !

Tar.Aldarion

so you can play again eh?

that starting screen looks great!

cherryghost

Great thanks, I took both of your advice.

GO_Bear

Back in the swing of things now !

Loving single draft mode however I reckon they will soon add the swap ability, and a more intuitive UI for it, so you don't have to hover over or type the three names during hero pick.

But getting to certainly play heroes I normally don't jump on, like Furion and Tinker.

Got an instant ultra kill as ES yesterday

Had lifestealer ulti on me aswell so he popped that before I did my fissure to secure all 4 kills!

cherryghost

Dota 2 Devs got back to me saying they're planning a complete colourblindness overhaul in a few weeks. Thank christ because I can't play the game at all in its current state.

Tar.Aldarion

good stuff, really are great devs there.

ED E

Valve have always been pro, things like that help make valve take 3x the normal time to release a game(and thats if we're lucky), but when they do, they do it right. gg

Not with all games lads, look how they treated CS:S for years! Although the community is full of cúnts(me being one ) so can't blame them really.

GO_Bear

Me and a mate have been messing around with a Carry Tiny, We do Tiny and Lina lane, I give him the farm, he rushes steam boots and Aghanims Septer ( for Cleave, who needs battle fury !! ), then builds blink dagger, assault Curiass, and Abyssal blade ( the one from basher ) and with his passive stun chance on hit and bash, enemy carries have a very very hard time taking him down !

And I laughed at this video !

I love a good feed

Hawke

Nothing feels as good as coming out of jungle as Bane on a Tiny with 150HP.

GO_Bear

DoTA 1 6.74 Patch, should be implemented soon into DoTA 2 I reckon, interesting if not expected nerf to Dark seer wall, and Exort Invoker boost along with a wex nerf !

Stev_o

Any spare keys going for this still? Two friends of mine are interested and sick of LoL.

Tar.Aldarion

havent seen anybody giving em out, valve are still sending em out if they do the survey. Otherwise I see them sell for 13e

cherryghost

Still no update on the colourblindness. I haz a sad

Tar.Aldarion

Something like that might take a while.


May have ordered this



gonna put it on my keys though.

GO_Bear

You playing much ? Got my laptop back and I am normally on in the evenings, have been having an unusual amount of good games recently as well, which is odd, single draft just makes for more interesting games.

Tar.Aldarion

Not on too much since I moved house recently. Will pop on if I see you! SD has made games much better imo. However I'd prefer to just play AR.

So what's the story with obtaining a beta key?

GO_Bear

You need a steam account and have to sign up Here, afaik they are still trickling out invites, as they scale up

GO_Bear

Test test client update goes to beta client Friday, Rumor also has it that some people got more invites to give out, so check, I will check after work, although be careful I heard rumor they are bugged or something
