Well, I installed Dota and played around with it a bit. I can learn the hero's pretty fast and found out which heroes are direct copies in HoN. That makes things a little easier. Only issue now is the item structure in Dota. Does anybody know if Dota2 will have just 1 shopkeeper or multiple as in Dota1?

Did you not watch the stream? There are the outposts, the secret shops and the pool shops. Literally, play DOTA Allstars and you will be playing the same content. Just not the same graphics or engine, which means it will be clunkier and kind of annoying. Like playing a newer version of an old game.

I did watch the streams but I did not see multiple vendors, in fact, the pool looked completely empty. I am talking about the pool shops too-- Not the secret shop.

There's no shopkeeper from what I can see?
Are you not entertained?

Ya, everyone saw the Secret Shops, Side Shops. I think the person means if there are several shops in the fountain like in Dota 1 or not

Yeah, sorry. I should of worded it better. Looking through the stream I did not see any of the shopkeepers in the pool. Does anybody know if there will be multiple POOL shopkeepers, much like Dota, or all combined into 1? Like you see in HoN/LoL.

I am saying no, most likely the shop is structured like in HON.

It won't matter because all the other people thinking DotA is like LoL or HoN will be playing and have no idea what the **** is happening.

The biggest thing that screwed me up in my tansition from Dota to Hon was the item names they're all technically the same items (stats and stuff) it was just the names and certain recepies were changed

I doubt they will have multiple shopkeepers at spawn, even though it's faster to buy that way usually, but it takes waaaaaay longer to learn where everything is.

Also to the OP, if you have played HoN that should suffice. Gameplay is pretty much the same, and a lot of HoN characters are remakes from DotA anyways.
