Dota 2

I think that it's for the best. The first few weeks will most likely be riddled with bugs and/or imbalances, which will ruin the gameplay experience. A faulty beta will change your expectations of the final release, so if they need time to perfect it first, then that's okay with me. :D

I totally agree, rather than having a bunch of beta testers complaining about the game and what is wrong with it(to the public), they should stick with the people they trust to get the game in a close to 100% state before releasing it for open beta testing.
 
I've never been involved in Beta testing...I don;t think I would ever want to be. I HATE BUGS. BUGS ruin games for me, totally. Rather them than me. I'll play the finished product. thanks very much.
 
hmmm. DOTA is awesome but after playing HoN i've totally lost my love for this genre. Really hoping DOTA 2 re-injects it. P.S. who is Gabe Newell? I get that this is a <<joke character>> but don't get the reference!
 
Eish it's pretty bad Smokeghost, for everyone from SA it's around 320+. And the network is very fickle, so you can't be running anything else while playing otherwise you get terrible lag. Other than that, after your first game, you should be used to the delay and it becomes very playable.
 
Lag might also be because of the recent SAT3 faults, not sure if they have been fixed yet.
 
In DOTA2 there is a "Quality Network" setting with two option "high and low". Here's the bandwith usage you can expect atm from DOTA2:

LOW: I averaged about 13-15 k/s
HIGH: I averaged about 25 k/s
That's 54meg vs 90meg per hour on average.

Europe gives me the best ping on 3g (350-400)
