| 1. Valve to keep DotA's core gampelay |
| 2. More on the peak experience |
Valve delves a bit deeper into their ongoing project on the Defense of the Ancients title, revealing that they will be keeping the core gameplay of the original game, with the actual game rules. After all, they would be "hard-pressed" to pimp up the game's main mechanics.
Project Manager Erik Johnson sat down with IGN that many familiar faces will be coming back to their DotA, and that spawn numbers and equipment management will stay the same. "It's going to be the most of the heroes that you're familiar with DotA."
Over time there'll be new heroes that are added to it just like IceFrog's adding to DotA all the time. [DotA] is the game that people are used to, that all 20 million of those people are used to playing. There's this big investment in your skill in DotA... and we don't want to throw that away. We want them to be able to do all the fun things they could do before. It just doesn't make any sense to us to start from somewhere new right now."
He also went on to talk about the peak experience, which will be a five on five game, however, keeping the option open for three versus three play. An incentive system is also being put in place to encourage old players to tutor the new ones.
