    Man the first one was so great for a few weeks. Then the new CoD came out and 90% of the population that stuck around afterwards were assholes.

    I guess their relationship with Microsoft was never really that great either so an Arcade version of this is probably never happening.

    this should be super super fun because this looks really cool

    Can't sign up for the beta, anyone else having issues? I don't have an Uber Ent. account, and the register link just loops back around to the login screen in both firefox and chrome.

    I'm glad this thread exists. I really liked the first one - and I am going to watch the shit out of that quick look tomorrow.

    Ehhhh I've played a bit in the beta.

    I like that they're poking around with new things, and the fact they're able to make another game.

    I just would've liked MNC2. I've got enough Dota games to play, the increased length, slower level gain just doesn't do it for me.

    Rotating hero pools is a big turn off as well.


    But these are personal gripes, the game itself is still fun, and the announcer continues to deliver.

  • BrainleechBrainleech 機知に富んだコメントはここにあります Registered User regular
    Did they keep the assassin?

  • InkyblotsInkyblots Registered User regular
    Assassin is back, the stealth classes are called commandos now I believe.

    From what I've heard they technically aren't calling it a beta anymore but an invitational, I think you can pay to unlock heroes now and junk. Game looks good, I like that they are going with a jungle aspect and slightly longer games. They said they would take 20-30 minutes on average which isn't as bad at dotas 45 (I think this is dotas average).

    My only gripe is the F2P model, I love that it brings a lot of players to the game that wouldn't give it a shot otherwise but I would really like an option to buy the actual game at first. I know they are going to release more heroes and I'm fine with unlocking them but I fucking hate hero pools.

    As of right now, the game seems pretty generous in regards to team composition, so the hero pool problem isn't as big of an issue. That said the game is also pretty new, so god only knows where the meta will take the game.

    I'm not big on rotating heroes either but it sounds like you can earn them permanently through play and it'll just take a while?

    You can. It'll probably take you about 30-35 games to unlock a pro, although the prices can vary pretty drastically.

    it's just for the PC? That sucks. It's bad enough that the xbox version hardly got any of the updates that the PC one got. (Although I understand why that was.)

    Are assassin & friends type characters still laning machines?

    I really like blowing up robots, you see.

    And stabbing people when they make silly goose decisions.

    Assassin(s) still wreck both bots and unwary pros and if you liked them in MNC I see no reason you wouldn't like them in Super. That said, it might take you a bit to acclimate to all the changes before you can really play them effectively.

    I want this "invitational" to be out now.

  • TheySlashThemTheySlashThem Registered User regular
    you would not believe how much of the beta tester footage of this game on youtube has shitty music playing over it

    well actually you would totally believe it if you have ever encountered youtube before

    I bought regular MNC because i wanted to play it. apparently I am okay at it, and people love to stack the teams "Oh there is a level 3 in game, okay everyone 40 and above PUT HIM ON HIS OWN TEAM

  • TheySlashThemTheySlashThem Registered User regular
    yeah that was what made me stop playing the first one

    on top the very small number of active servers at any given time teamstacking was rampant

  • ShabootyShabooty Registered User regular
    I got in!

    so psyched

  • Blue mapBlue map Hello darkness, my old friend. Registered User regular
    New pro rotation is in: Cheston, Combat Girl, Gunslinger, Karl, Veteran, Wascot. Karl seems like a lot of fun to play, but I definitely want to practice with him before trying him for real.

    also this game is fun as shit you guys, I only played two games and they were laggy as hell but it was still really fun

  • Sars_BoySars_Boy Rest, You Are The Lightning. Registered User regular
    when does it launch for realsies?

    i am going to get a new MacBook Pro when they upgrade in spring but that is so far away.

  • VALVEjunkieVALVEjunkie Registered User regular
    dunno, I think they're just fine tuning things at this point so not much longer I would guess.

  • ShabootyShabooty Registered User regular
    I don't know

    one of their maps isn't even finished yet

    I'd say in a few months or more

  • UrielUriel Registered User regular
    Man support still seems broke as fuck.

    I just got like 11 kills in one match.

    Then again most were of the veteren guy who wasn't playing very well trying to take me 1 on 1 at level 8 when I was level 11.
