Since the amount of invites is ramping up significantly, there is probably a lot of you who are in the beta! I was thinking of getting all of you Giant Bombers together for some games. Just to drum up numbers at the moment, who is interested? if there is enough interest, I would not mind creating a steam group and getting some fun games with you all! Like they do with all of the other games.

I had a few ideas in mind for the group, so some feedback on that would also be nice. Firstly, skill does not matter, I have read many a thread on these forums of people saying that they are in the beta but aren't very good, that shouldn't be a barrier for entry, the other more experienced players should be able to help you instead of raging at you! Secondly, voice comms, I was thinking of renting a mumble server since they are so cheap and awesome, the only problem there is if people would be willing to download it and join, it would certainly make communication easier for us instead of having to type "SS" and "gank now!", however it could even be that the in game voice works fine(it doesn't!).

So if you are jonesin for some fun people to play with but still want to have fun(i.e. not going troll items). Reply here!

EDIT: Steam Group created! - http://steamcommunity.com/groups/GBDota2

I am known as David in the group.

I wish I had an invite :(

People are trading Unusual TF2 hats for them!

If I ever get an invite, I'll be all over this. I need some LoL palette cleansing like woah.

I'm looking for some people to play with. I am pro DotA player from 2005.

I'd be up for playing and am a total scrub. I also play LoL and am good at that.

Still waiting for an invite >.>, want to join the fun with Lich and Earthshaker :D

@iDarktread: I got an invite, pm me your mail and I send an invite to you.

When I get into the beta I'll be glad to teach people how to play and stuff. Sign me up.

Hey do you have another code cause i need one for a buddy of mine who is dieing to play.

Mannnn, I wish I had an invite :( Really want to try this out.

Could you please make a steam group cause it is really hard to find people to play with.

Steam group could be a good idea.

I bet there will be enough interest in soon enough.

Sure I'm down, hopefully this takes off.

@scarace360: sorry, don't have any more invites.

Man, I really need a key.

I just got invited into the beta bitches! Let's ROCK! But first I need to finish Dead Space 2.

How did it go? Sorry I couldn't be there it was just a tad late! Also does anyone know if there are any serious lag problems when playing on a different continents server?

Went pretty well we played about 3-4 games only 4 people showed up but that was cool. Had fun. We should do one on Friday.

anyone want to do a GB community roundup and just queue together? i think itll be fun.

Does anyone want to start a giant bomb dota 2 group on steam?

I'm down. I'm totally new to the genre so I don't really have a favorite hero/heroes yet. I played a practice match (all my matches so far have been practice lol) today and tested out Death Prophet and I really like her. Again, I'm a total newb/scrub/whatever so I'm probably missing out of some (read: all) of the nuances of playing her, but so far she's the only hero that clicked with me right away. I haven't had a test run with every hero yet so I may or may not find a better match soon.

how are you people getting these keys!?. XD

I got mine off of www.reddit.com/r/gamesell/

I just got tired of waiting, you can buy an invite for about ~$25 now.

@ajamafalous said:

Same. How do people get them, just luck?

That's bullshit, I've spent so much on Steam they should give me something back! (besides, you know... the games I bought.

Im ready to play. What server you usually choose? US/EU?

hey lets see if we can get a group together on starting this Friday, regardless of skill level.

The link doesn't work for me, can you invite me to the group. My user name is MrSkeleton.

I am so sick of people quitting mid game...

Edit: nvm I'm in. Looking forward to playing with you guys.

Can i get a group invite please? I just got my DOTA key!

gsquirrelgo is the name

I would love to get a key, played the hell out of both the original Dota and HoN, would really like to try valves take on it :)

As soon as I get my key I'm in like Flyn.

I got one, add me if you'd like to play some. Warning I'm still relatively new. Steam name is hotcheesebandit007.

think servers are having troubles atm Glen. :(

What's the skill distribution like for this group? Or is it just for fun kind of thing?

I'm interested in this idea, but I am not very good so I wouldn't want to ruin peoples records. :-P

I assume it's a fun kinda thing. is anyone up for playing setting up games tomorrow? not sure about a specific time or anything.

Yeah I'm up for it. I'm in the group as Khronos. Send me a message on Steam and we'll see when we can do this.

I guess this isn't happening :(. I think we need some community awareness for this game.
