No :(

#3 Posted by Jack268 (3386 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

are going out

Maybe later then.
#4 Posted by anthanoid (29 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

I took the survey and signed up just a couple hours before the invites went out. So, nope. I'll just assume for now those who got an invite aren't looking at the forums right now.

#5 Posted by JammyJesus (751 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

I did not get an invite, sadly.

#6 Posted by Geno (6479 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

For anyone that did get an invite, I'd be willing to gift you a $20 Steam game or games in exchange for a working key.

#7 Posted by Zero_ (1610 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

No go either...

#8 Posted by CheapPoison (570 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

nope.

And we play the waiting game once again.

#9 Posted by Packie (255 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

I got an e-mail for an invitation... but the link doesn't work. *sadface*

#10 Posted by AlisterCat (5019 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

I got an invite for the survey, but the javascript in the email that opens the survey is being blocked by hotmail and so I can't even take the survey.

#11 Edited by Towers (96 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

I did my survey. I did not get in.

EDIT: yeah 69 posts! I'M SO INTERNETAWESOME.

#12 Posted by phrosnite (3377 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

NOOOOOOOOOOOO! *sad face*

#13 Posted by Winternet (7281 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

Sadly no. But, I think they were not giving them to random people, so I am not disappointed.

Newell is a compulsive liar.
 
I refuse to believe these beta keys actually exist.

Go back to bed, Fiddelsticks. You hate everything.

#18 Posted by Mr_Skeleton (4930 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

I got a Survey, is that good?

#19 Posted by Packie (255 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

I take that back... just finished the survey.

Please oh glorious Valve, grant me beta keys. *puppyeyes*

#20 Posted by Jimi (1116 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

Nope, signed up for beta the hour it went up, did the survey within 30 mins of it going up. No key.

Next thing you know, he'll be claiming that DOTA2 will be a pack-in with Episode 3.

#22 Edited by gunstar (219 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

I got the invite. Saw it last night literally seconds after clocking out of work.

Best feel bro.

Get home, realize I haven't played DOTA since it was a "fun little maptype for WC3". Get my ass handed to me, and verbally harassed by Europeans.

Feels bad man.

Edit: If anyone was wondering, I answered the survey completely honestly. I said I played zero hours of Dota in the last month, and that I average (lol) 10k gold a round and a 2/7 KD ratio.

I answered the survey honestly too but no key :( What do you want for one of the additional keys you've got? Just asking...

One thing everyone will tell you is that Dota is a game that’s more fun with friends. Because of that, we wanted to make sure everyone we invited could bring a couple of friends – so everyone who receives Dota 2 will be given two extra copies that they can hand out to whomever they’d like. You’ll find your extra copies in the Steam section of your Steam account’s item inventory, and you can use the Steam Trading feature to give them to your friends.

#24 Posted by gunstar (219 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

@phrosnite: Sorry, they're claimed already. Me and a few of my friends played LoL together so I got MOBA basics. Just gotta learn to pick my battles, and how to item.

#25 Posted by NissanSkyline (92 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

I got it. And its so AWESOME! A little disappointed cause stats and stuff not working.

#26 Posted by DonPixel (2003 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

I got a survey yesterday about how much of DOTA guy was I, But then nothing...

I guess I'm not that DOTA enough.

#27 Posted by Synaptic (288 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

Did not get one :'(

#28 Posted by SamDrugbringer (988 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

Nope :(

#29 Posted by raiz265 (2229 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

second wave went out last night, no luck :(

#30 Posted by Jokers_Wild (205 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

Got mine. Same day as Skyrim, so there goes my social life.

#31 Posted by Fragonard (73 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

I just got in last night. Played a round today during lunch and actually won. Does anyone know how to lock the camera to your Hero? It's driving me crazy and I can't find the option in the settings menu.

#32 Posted by Rolyatkcinmai (2534 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

Just got in. They were also kind enough to give me two gift copies.

i doubt there's an option for that, maybe a button you can hold to temporarily do it (like if you click and hold on you 3d portrait at the bottom) but yeah... it's not LoL

#34 Posted by phrosnite (3377 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

This is getting ridiculous now. There are over 5k people playing at a time but I still haven't gotten an invite.

#35 Posted by raiz265 (2229 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

5000people aren't that many for dota :o

i'm still waiting too

#36 Posted by Winternet (7281 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

This guy has invites. Go and take one off him.

Why would you do that?

Considering that there were max of 800 concurrent players before, 5k is a lot.

So I can pay attention to what I am doing with my hero instead of moving the camera around all the time.

#40 Posted by Jokers_Wild (205 posts) - 1 year, 6 months ago

@Fragonard: I don't know that it's possible to lock the camera, but double-tapping F1 centers it on you. It might be worth asking on the dev forums if they could implement camera locking.

#41 Posted by HoM3R (148 posts) - 1 year, 5 months ago

Got my invite 12hours ago EU and with 2 friend invites.

#42 Posted by Jack268 (3386 posts) - 1 year, 5 months ago
#43 Posted by phrosnite (3377 posts) - 1 year, 5 months ago

@Jack268: @HoM3R: *puppy eyes* Would one of you be so kind to invited me into the beta? :)

#44 Posted by tunaburn (1824 posts) - 1 year, 5 months ago

i got an invite with 2 friend passes today as well.

#45 Posted by Codeacious (902 posts) - 1 year, 5 months ago

Damn, they're ramping it up a bunch and I still find myself without an invite. Guess receiving that email about the survey really early on didn't help much...
