Well that sucked. I'm going to be using the username Tragamundos from now on. I had too many problems trying to host with LC with the other username. I tried different accounts and settings in the ini file but when I tried to change it back to the original one it refused to encrypt the password.

I never understood the hate people had against magic stick. It only takes a few minutes before it out values the 100 gold you lose selling it back.... meanwhile you are constantly regenning as people are casting spells. Pooling charges for emergencies can also save your life. It has for me many times...

Most of the time you end up in a lane where there are heroes who don't spam spells or the opposing team doesn't have any spam heroes or heroes that don't give charges with their passive skills which just makes it pretty useless. If you can't consistently get the charges up at a pretty good rate then good job you just wasted 100 gold.

EDIT:

I'm up for some gaymes for the next 5 hours.

anyone wanna game

whew. me chef chainer dhalamar and dharma just had some intense games.

Hey are you guys all in the GW steam group? I dunno what's up but I can't seem to be able to stay connected to IRC for more than few minutes until I get D/C'd and all that does is spam up allthe channels I am on and prevent any decent communication so it'd be great if I could also talk to people through steam asking if they wanna play and shit.

PS this problem also exists with messenger so it has something to do with my internet configurations and shit most likely.

i'm not. you can just check this thread though, i usually post something here before we start playing.

Is this anything like that custom map that came with Warcraft III that had Heroes you could choose from and you and other could go through a dungeon and level up and get equips and stuff?

no not really. you choose from heroes depending on the mode and fight against an opposing team, while levelling up and getting new items. once your team is strong enough you push through their defenses and destroy their base. that is a very basic explanation

It's 2 teams consisting of maximum of 5 heroes battling it out.

The map has 3 lanes which act as the pathway to the bases. Every 30 seconds a wave of creeps from each end of every lane spawns, that means 3 waves from each team. The creeps move along the lanes, attacking any enemies they encounter, until they reach the enemy base or are killed.

Each lane has 3 towers at certain intervals which kill off the creeps, slowing down all attacks from that lane. The nearby area is thus the best place to defend for incoming attacks. The towers also detect invisible heroes and units, which there are a lot of.

You cannot destroy the towers in the back until you have destroyed every tower before it. This is so that powerful heroes can't just walk into enemy base and start destroying it when no one is looking, although after enough towers are down this too is possible.

The most basic premise is that you are in groups of 2, 2 and 1 spread on each of the 3 lanes defending them. You level up if you are near enough to dying creeps and gain gold if you manage to last hit them. You also gain 1 gold per second no matter what.

As opposed to defending a lane, you can also go to the woods and "jungle", which means killing off neutral creep camps for gold and exp. This only works on very few heroes at the start of the game but because there is no one else there to last hit the creeps you gain gold faster and the exp isn't shared with anyone else either. Basically this is the WC3 ladder equivalent of creeping. The neutral creeps do not drop any items though, nor do the team specific creeps.

You can buy items, and recipes, which combine lot of items into one, sometimes giving them special features. All the recipes are predefined there is no dunamic item building or whatever, but the selection is big enough to confuse any new players.

The amount of heroes is also something that will confuse new players and makes the learning curve a 89 degree wall. If you don't know what the heroes in your team, in the enemy team and the one you have do or work then you are at a BIG disadvantage. Apparently there is a total of 93 heroes currently, according to the wiki entry.

The level cap for all heroes is 25.

There is a special boss creep who drops items and gives gold for the whole team when killed.

And that's about it I guess?
