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.

Then me! I'll do whoever is next in the chain!

Got one over on the reddit thread. Still waiting for it to come through because apparently there's a delay, but I'll invite some folks once it comes in.

If your offer is still on the table, I'd be up for an invite. I will also pass one on if received:

Sent. When you accept will send.

Thanks!

Sent. Should come through in a couple hours I guess. They're pretty slow.

Very much appreciated! I'll send it to the next person in the thread. Is the invite just an item in my Steam inventory? Or something within the game itself?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

It pops up on steam and says you've been invited to a game test.

I'm going to send you a friend invite shortly so I can provide a playtest invite.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Accepted.

Woo! It's a fun game. Definitely more my style than Dota.

Looking forward to trying it! Dota is not for everyone, but I'm excited to see what the frog is cooking. He's a very talented game designer.

Sent you a friend invite to be able to send you a playtest invite. Remember to pass it along in the chain.
