Open WC3, Open BNet, Create Account, go into Customgames when logged on to BNET and then take one of the DotA-games that are popping up all the time.

and download the newest dota map at getdota.com

put the map in the folder waraftIII/maps/download/"themap"

Forkxx · 16th Jun 2008, 02:56 CEST

Don't try to download the map in a b.net room, they will drop you. ;D

Daniyel · 26th Jun 2008, 17:41 CEST

they wont if your dl speed is high =D

but zuma, why dont you use GGC?> cause battle.net is more for TFT than dota

Oompa · 27th Jun 2008, 07:17 CEST

GGC is so buggy -_-;; I hate it : (.

Garena is so imba. No bugs at all.

Since 1 week I got no problems while playing with it xD

Maybe it will last longer^^

trech · 30th Jun 2008, 05:57 CEST

gg is getting better =P

Galaxion_ · 30th Jun 2008, 07:48 CEST

Why not hamachi? xD

NyPG · 30th Jun 2008, 09:12 CEST

The newest version of Hamachi does not support warcraft. only one of the older versions, and you'd hafta search for the older installer. Not sure about which version though.
Also, you'd hafta pay to have a network with a large number of people, because the max is like 10 or 20 per network?
Also, you'd still hafta have a person to organize all of it, because the server info would need to be distributed.
I think Hamachi would only be good if you're playing inhouses, where it's easy to communicate with each other.

#GGC is getting worse and the only reason that competitive gamers still play there is because there are no other alternatives.

Nothing like getting repeatedly disced from either room or server, or playing an important game and then get tabbed out because someone messages you on GGC.
This problems have been consistent for the past years and nothing seem to be done to solve them. I really abhor that platform.

matthe88 · 30th Jun 2008, 13:47 CEST

#13 There is still the problem, that people want these games to be streamed.

We got 3 solutions:
1. GarenaTV:
Theoretically the most stable. Only theoratically.
2. Waaagh.tv
Has still some problems from time to time.
3. Live stream like at Korean TV.... costs too much... not suitable now or not suitable for ever.

It seems like we got no other solution...

ALaNv · 30th Jun 2008, 14:58 CEST

If only ggc is able to be less buggy, and make connections stable. Also minimize the delay the Asians are getting when playing on Europe host etc. Else it will be a generally good platform for global gamers.

Red_Aces · 30th Jun 2008, 15:25 CEST

@12. i play on hamachi everyday with my friends using the latest version and it works well. i play on ggc too and it was very laggy/ unplayable a week or 2 ago. its bak to normal this week after the new update

Meitre · 1st Jul 2008, 14:06 CEST

I have 1 question . Is dryade good hero in dota? Becasue i love to play her.

sexyfats · 1st Jul 2008, 14:56 CEST

what do you think is the best platform for playing dota then, with gg having its problems? (recently dled the client, i think it's amazing)

In before lan.

matthe88 · 1st Jul 2008, 23:24 CEST

#17 public hero. Not good at competitive imo. Too much item and mana depended.

#18
gg is best for clan games atm. Listchecker and many other progs arent working at bnet coz of the newest wc3 patch.
