I hope my mention of The Specialists mod for half life and my love for Artifact makes me a shoe-in for the giveaways. Very excited for this!!

Thanks for the opportunities Dakkon and Dark Knight.

I'm really excited to play this. I always wished I got into Dota 2 when it first released, but it seems so daunting now. It'll be amazing to get in on the ground floor, even if I don't get to play until a more open beta or even release.

Wild when this game isn't even official, but sure lol. Interested to try this even though I don't play a lot of competitive games (Splatoon pfp aside lol). Dota and CS never did much for me but I loved TF2 and L4D. I did get a lot of enjoyment out of OW and MNC and it looks to scratch that itch. Expecting it to feel good simply because Source always feels just right.

Edit: I'm in

If I am lucky enough to get in, it will be nice. Since most hero shooters are first person, I cant play them because of motion sickness. I have a chance at being able to play this one.

It's pretty crazy to see something like this for an unannounced game.
This is beyond a closed alpha or beta. More like pre-alpha.

Thanks for the opportunities.

Its crazy that we know so much about this game and Valve hasn't acknowledged anything about its existence but letting players invite others into the game.

God, I forgot about Monday Night Combat lol. I miss that game but never got the chance to play Super MNC since it was PC exclusive.

Super MNC was their attempt at leaning closer to the strategic MOBA side of the spectrum versus the greater action focus of the original. It was divisive, though I think that's just because they didn't have the dev experience to make it work. The concept of a MOBA where you can freely move and aim is definitely difficult to balance. Being slightly burned from SMNC is why I'm particularly interested in seeing Valve's whack at it.

yeah put me in the camp of 'loved MNC enough to play the hell out of it on XBLA and later steam', but immediately bounced off super MNC.

Once 4-6 people get invited here we should be able to spread it out to others pretty fast from there

I have 3 irl friends I want to invite but I should be able to invite 3-5 more here, if I get in

Really hope this works out and most people that want to play it here get in! I'm okay with not getting it right away if at least a lot of people get in. This is exciting to see a new Valve game!

More than likely I will be asleep when my raffle's timer is up. Whoever wins I shall contact you on the morrow... sometime during the morning, most likely.

Good luck everyone!

Invite time.

First off I've chosen 3 people who I've sent PMs to to sign them up for an invite because I really appreciated their posts in the Marvel Rivals thread and the Deadlock thread and just in general I know they're more serious / trustworthy members to also help send out invites once Valve sends them theirs. Those 3 people are Hasney & Mocha Joe and HylianSeven ! (If any of them decline those invites will be moved into my Google Form pool.)

Next off GiftBot will have a giveaway up in a minute or two in this thread for one (1) invite sign up. The winner will have to PM me their e-mail address because this isn't a key based system. We're using the honor system here so please don't join this unless:
* you're fine giving me an e-mail you own (does NOT have to be your Steam e-mail)
* you live in or very close to NA (you should have ~120ms ping or less to US West/Central servers in other games, preferably less)
* have an okay Windows/Linux computer (if you can play Dota 2 or CS2 at 60 FPS you'll be okay) or a Steam Deck
* you're able to be on your system to play around 7PM Pacific to the early morning because the game is not up all day right now.
* and more importantly: are willing to help send out invites to people on this forum once you're in.

If someone wins this and doesn't meet these criteria I'm going to be pissed and not do this ever again after being burned before. I've heavily restricted this giveaway due to this.

Finally, I have a Google Form that people can fill out, all I ask is:
* fully read every question
* answer honestly
* only answer if the key is for you and not someone else

I will choose a small number of people (2-3) later tonight (probably closer to midnight) who I like from the responses to additionally be signed up for an invite and will announce the winners in this thread:

forms.gle

ERA Information

This is a survey which I will use to send out invites. Invites will be announced in the thread. I will be picking based on your responses.
The form closed literally mins before I was going to hit submit on the last page :'( but good luck to everyone else that got in!

So due to 2 of the 3 people I was going to invite already being in, I'm doing 5 winners for the Google Form, of which I chose 5 different categories to pick winners from with a bias towards active ResetERA members.

So in addition to Bengraven, the winners of the Google Form are VeryHighlander, Ionic, TheRed, Shrennin, and noffles. I have suggested you for invite in-game already using the e-mails you provided in the Google Form, and assuming nothing changes you should receive an e-mail from Valve early morning which has the Steam key, Discord link, and forum account information.

Once you do get in, pass on the love to the rest of the people in the thread. 🫡

I wonder how fast the exponential growth of beta keys will be if everyone gets 3-6 to hand out, I feel like it's not too impossible that everyone here is able to get in within a couple weeks or so. Awesome job getting the ball rolling :) I'll certainly hand my keys out to the community if I'm able to get in.

There technically isnt a limit on invites you can send (it seems).

Well shit, maybe people should just start editing their posts to show if they got a key or not? (I'll happily just message people and hand keys out going down the thread once I get one. It's not like valve is going to be overwhelmed by our numbers considering there's only 100 people or so in this thing)

If there are no limits, now that have 4-5 people in from Era, shouldn't it be exponential in terms of re-invites in this thread? Like even if each of them invite just one person from here, and that person invites one more, etc...
