Valve keeping up with the trend of "worst kept secrets". You need an invite to join the alpha but since everyone who owns it can refer their friends, it spread very quickly.

I've been playing it the past few days and it's honestly very fun. Still a bit rough around the edges (especially in terms of balance) since it's in early access, but it has serious potential to be dota 2 levels of popular.

For the unaware, Deadlock is a 3rd person shooter MOBA. It feels like a mix of Dota and Overwatch/Team Fortress. Nobody is allowed to share footage or screenshots, but obviously with so many playing there's a ton of leaks out there.

As you got invited by OP would you mind sharing your invites too? Asking for ~~a friend~~ me.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I don't have the game yet. It used to be instantaneous but now it may take several days according to some people on the internet

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Thats a shame... gives us time to become your friend though, right? I heard you enjoy games

I can invite too if people need it, shoot me a DM

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Shot you a message.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

I love your personality and think we could be great friends, too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Is there a limit to referrals?…

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I think so, but it doesn't say how many you get.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

If you've got an extra still I'd be down

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Same here. I'd love to see what Valve have been up to.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Would love an invite if you don't mind!

Any chance you can invite anymore? I’d love to give this game a try, huge TF2 fan.

Reminds me of the old Dota 2 closed beta days... Good times. Also on an unrelated note, if anyone has a spare invite my DMs are open.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I slept on my DOTA2 invite and only years later dumped 3k hours into it.

I won’t make that mistake again, given the chance.

I remember playing Dota 1 and 2 in parallel for a while because so few heroes were in the beta and I wanted to play new hotness like Ember Spirit. Fun times.

Quitting Dota has been great for my mental health, though. But I guess I'm at least curious enough about what the frog is cooking to risk getting addicted to something new.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I heard you got a referral, remember all those times I've helped you with (insert problem)? You wouldn't mind if I asked for a referral from you?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

We are friends, right?
