All About Dota 2

[p a n z z]

Game favorit untuk LAN Party, Defense of The Ancient alias DoTA akan dibuatkan sekuelnya bernama DoTA 2. Tidak seperti versi sebelumnya, sekuel game ini resmi diusung oleh Valve.

Sudah bukan kejutan besar lagi kalau Valve akhirnya mengusung sekuel dari game DoTA. Mereka juga telah merekrut Icefrog, developer yang mengelola mod DoTA paling populer, DoTA-AllStars.

Seperti dikutip detikINET dari 1Up, Kamis (14/10/2010), Valve telah resmi mengumumkan DoTA 2 yang rencananya akan hadir pada 2011. Salah satu janji Valve adalah, dasar dari game itu tak akan banyak berubah dibandingkan DoTA yang sekarang populer.

"Icefrog adalah salah satu developer paling cerdas yang pernah kami temui. Dia telah banyak membuat keputusan tepat selama bertahun-tahun membangun produk ini," ujar Erik Johnson, pimpinan proyek DoTA 2 dari Valve.

Apa Saja Isi DoTA 2?

Valve menjanjikan, DoTA 2 akan menyertakan seluruh heroes dari DoTA-AllStars. Demikian juga dengan semua jalur upgrade, item dan skill-nya akan tetap ada dalam DoTA 2.

Perbedaan mencolok, lanjut Valve, adalah engine Source yang digunakan. Beberapa upgrade grafis akan terbawa dari engine tersebut, ditambah kemampuan tambahan seperti Voice Chat.

Fokus game ini tentunya tetap pada Multiplayer. Namun Valve menyediakan kemampuan untuk bot (artificial intelligence / AI) mengambil alih kendali jika koneksi pemain tertentu tiba-tiba putus di tengah permainan.

DoTA 2 akan hadir untuk PC dan Mac pada 2011. Game ini akan dirilis secara ritel, yang kemungkinan akan membuka pintu bagi banyak pemain-pemain baru yang selama ini belum kenal DoTA.

What can we expect from DotA2?

1. Better teamwork
The integrated voice chat will give those who normally do not use ventrilo or other voice connection options better communication. This will hopefully increase the quality of public games. For those who use voice chat programmes, it will make it more simple and reduce inconvenience when the voice connection drops with the need to tab out.

2. Unique Hero graphics and voices
Each hero is being crafted to be easily identified and distinguishable from other characters. This makes it easier for players to understand the situation and appropriate action.
There will be custom voice work with entertaining lines from heroes.

3. Better Community Experience
Valve is going to provide an interactive platform to minimise social friction. They might include in-game rewards that encourage positive community interaction. I am really looking forward for a more integrated community platform for DotA players. By having a consistent and centralised ladder and incentives, I believe that the gameplay experience will increase.

4. Better Experience for New Players
DotA2 will be easier to break into for new players with (1) skill-based match-matching (giving newbies a chance to play with people on the same level), (2) interactive guides, (3) a coaching system and (4) AI bots in unranked training matches. I have not seen a coaching system in other action-RTS games. It might be useful, but it probably isn’t that important or will be commonly used. Players would probably be more interested playing with their friends as they teach them, rather than watching them play.

5. Better Experience for Veteran Players
With a skill-based match-making system, it would be less likely for experienced DotA players to have to endure the amateur moves of a new player. There will also be AI bots to replace disconnected players. I think that som players might prefer to be able to control the leaver or take their items than have an AI bot play for them, particularly in a high-level game. It might be better to have a voting option, so that the members of the affected team can decide if they want the AI bot. Would it increase the number of leavers? Players might encourage others to leave because they think the AI bot will be better. Leavers will feel better in leaving, since they don’t feel it has a huge impact on the game.
