I have made an awesome quick tutorial for you guys. I cant believe myself that Stardock/GPG havent included one for this game - its a joke! How are we meant to learn how to play it?
Hope this helped everyone who has been complaining and flaming GPG and Stardock (who are the publishers, not makers of the game btw) for not including a tutorial in this deep, complex game. There are also a ton of guides found around this site - but a tutorial would be much better!Hope this helps the reviewers at Gamespot too!
Don't die.
dgl-dazk, are you the same as dalzk?
Untrue, Towers are woth 300 GP each.
Quickguides to two maps can be found here.
Great another noob tutorial who is this Dalzk anyway
haha i just realized you can change name that appears
I honestly believe several of you have missed the sarcasm that I detect in the OP's post.
Dalzk is my ESL teammate I didn't miss anything
The problem isnt the obvious - i mean selecting a demigod and clicking to move, nice one, even my cat worked that out.
The problem is describing the gameplay to someone not familar with DOTA. At a glance it can be confusing and not overly intuitive to work out how it works - ie utilising your own creeps vs theirs etc.
This thread fails.
I would like to see that.
if you just take your time to play a game or two and you still dont understand how the game works then you are fail.
some part of me agrees because I'm an intuitive player too,
but I must also defend those who simply aren't getting the gist of a game all by themselves
and need guides instead...
Some of the important features need to be told imo. For example, how can we capture the flag?? If you walk up to the flag it will just spin if there're no enemy demis around and the capture bar take a while to appear. And where can i buy items? where's the artifact shop? What are those look like? Oh we can upgrade at citadel? Oh we need to walk up to citadel to access it? Well there're just too many questions for new players and i understand the feeling of not knowing everything and getting called noobs.
Your comment reminds me of those "I'm rubber, you're glue" playground insults.
The game may be obvious to you, as well as many other people who have played DoTA. However, for those that don't, there's a lot of things in this genre that aren't immediately apparent.
From a high level point of view, noobs have no chance of knowing the following:
-tradeoff between increasing damage/attack speed, versus health/armor
-how to flag lock
-importance of citadel upgrades
-the massive penalty of dying
-team synergies
-I can go on and list more, but you probably get teh point by now.
I've met so many people online on both my team and the enemy team who had no concept of these things. Needless to say, the game was basically ruined so they played worse than AI.
At the very least, a tutorial would help bring the skill level floor up a bit. It would help make noobs not so nooby.
