Disconnected players will be replaced by AI bots which will take control over the hero. It will be available in unranked matches.

Heroes Voice:
DotA 2 will feature new voice work. You'll get amusing lines from heroes as they deny the enemy team last hits on creeps, and champions who have backstory connections will trade quips when nearby.

Rewards & Matchmaking System:
Valve is using it's traditional Steamworks as a matchmaking & community rewards system which will allow you to create in-game rewards for participating in community forums.

Coaching & Training System:

Once again, Valve is coming with a great innovation of coaching system which will be used to train a beginner to learn DotA 2 to sustain a respectable position in the community. It will allow veteran players to login as a coach. Coach can see beginner's screen and can get private voice chat during the game.

It is indeed a revolutionary & surprise step taken by Valve by entering in the world of MMO-RTS games with the help of IceFrog. Finally, DotA Fans had some relief after hearing some of the features of the upcoming DotA 2. The upgraded heroes are still looking remarkable in the images. It's good that Valve DotA 2 team revealed something but fans will still consider it as a drop in a ocean that IceFrog still refused to disclose his name in the community.

Stay tuned for the further updates, DotA-Utilities will be your final stop for all the news & updates for DotA 2.

Valve 'DOTA' Trademark Is Being Filed

Hey DotA Addicts!, Here comes another sign of Valve developing it's own Defense of the Ancients based game after the Jon St. John Tweet leaking the Valve DotA project. Now it's getting more clearer. Valve corporation has just applied Trademark for word 'DOTA'. It looks like IceFrog & Valve are very serious with their DotA project and they don't want any copyright/legal issues.

Here is the Valve 'DOTA' Trademark on USPTO:

Mark : 'DOTA'
Applicant on Record: Valve Corporation

Address:
Valve Corporation
10500 NE 8th St Ste 1000
Bellevue, WA 980044359
United States
Legal Entity Type: Corporation
State or Country of Incorporation: Washington
Phone Number: 509.241.1502
Fax Number: 509.232.2112

Date applied: August 10 2010

International Class: 009
Class Status: Active
Computer game software; Electronic game software; Video game software

Let's see if Valve gets Trademark for 'DOTA'. In my opinion it will be hard for Valve to pick up existing public domain material and trademarking it. DotA is the product developed by Euls, Guinsoo, IceFrog and by the help of community suggestions. Also, Valve has to make sure if the are putting content with Blizzard's Warcraft III Trademark on their DotA based game.

Things are getting really interesting in DotA Genre games, what about Heroes Of Newerth, League, Bloodline Champions, Demigod etc. Are they taking note?

DotA Independent Game Coming Soon?

Hey DotA Addicts!, As we all know that IceFrog has joined Valve, and has started working with them. However, There is no further information revealed so far regarding it. In IceFrog's recent Q&A Session#4 he stated that whatever he is working on along with Valve will be announced soon. Curiosity of fans are increasing and they are excited to see what is coming in near future from IceFrog.

If we look a little bit closer, It looks like there will be a new independent DotA based game with the collaboration with Valve. As, you can see below, It's a recent post made by IceFrog which will give you the idea and clear things in your mind.

What are your opinions regarding this Valve/IceFrog thingy? Do you think that will IceFrog come up with his own DotA based game or any other game with different concept. There are already some competitors out there such as, Heroes Of Newerth, League Of Legends etc.

We hope that IceFrog discloses some information about it soon!

Valve's Dota - On it's way

Hey DotA Addicts!, As we know that In October 2009, The DotA Developer 'IceFrog' announced a great news that he has been hired by Valve and leading a team there "to do some very exciting stuff that you guys will love". However, there was no further information revealed about it. Later, it was rumored that IceFrog is coming with Valve DotA Based Game like Heroes Of Newerth & League Of Legends. But now, this news seems to be true.

UPDATE: DotA 2 has been announced.

Jon St. John, The voice actor of popular game Duke Nukem series had a post on his Twitter page claiming that he has done voice acting for Valve's DotA.

This Obviously means that IceFrog is coming with a DotA based game with Valve's collaboration. A while ago, IceFrog mentioned in his Q&A Session #4 that "We'll be making an announcement soon". Also, John mentioned the same about PAX Expo 2010 which is happening on early September and amazingly, Valve is listed on PAX website as an exhibitor.

If this really happens all the DotA players who were attracted/ moved to other DotA clones will
probably revert back to Valve's DotA on large scale. Let's see if IceFrog updates further about this on his blog.

Update: Valve has filed DOTA Tradmark.

The DotA Lord a.k.a Ice Frog's Quick Reply on Dota 6.69 Map

Hey Dota Addicts!, The DotA 6.69 Development Update. Recently, The DotA Lord a.k.a IceFrog has blogged a quick update of DotA 6.69 to let us know that development has already been started and it will not take much time as DotA 6.68 took. As usual, he asked for the feedback for the upcoming changes in DotA 6.69. For e.g. Balancing, Items, Loading Screen etc.

IceFrog Blog: 6.69 - Quick Update:

Development is underway on the next patch. It won't take as long to release as the previous version did. Please send me your feedback on 6.68 along with what you'd like to see in DotA 6.69!

Make a comment in this blog post or send me an email with the feedback.

Its Really good to hear that we won't have to wait half an year for a map. By the way, DotA has a tradition of Hidden Quests (easter eggs) every 6.x9 versions. So, expect IceFrog to include a hidden quest in Dota 6.69. Also, Share your suggestions about this map via comments.

DotA 6.68c AI Map Download | DotA Allstars 6.68c AI Plus Download

Hey Dota Addicts!, The As we all know that DotA 6.68c AI is the upcoming DotA AI map that is under development process and expected to release very soon. Harreke & PleaseBugMeNot are currently working on DotA v6.68c AI Project. Harreke is developing his own AI script and PleaseBugMeNot is following BMP's AI script. So there may be two versions of 6.68c AI this time.

Update #2: Quick Update (October 27, 2010):

Hello, guys.
Just a quick update on the status of the AI map. The item builds for DotA 6.68c AI series are ready. The AITeam are testing them. As you know in 6.69 there are changes in some items and recipes and that will need another item build overhaul. There is a new mode called -ld (Low Dodge Mode). Some users complained how AI (Normal and Hard) are dodging almost always Pudge`s Hooks and some other skills. The mode will compensate that problem... it will be available as a command from the hosting player. Writing -old once will enable that mode and writing it again will disable it. You`ll see a message with the current status of the mode.
That mode affects Meat Hook but also Nerubian Assassin's Impale, Demon Witch's Impale, Fissure, and Ice Path.

There are some weird bugs which we will address. Also i started renaming and de-obfuscating a lot of functions and variables... i hope that will make the work on the script easier.


Update #1: PleaseBugMeNot:

And here is the test of the Eredar, Shadow Demon. All skills are working. Gyrocopter and Thrall are already working. I can say the waiting for 6.68 was worth it, very nice heroes. Congrats, IceFrog! The next work on the list, making item recipes work. Without that fix, the map will be unplayable. So, keep your fingers crossed.
