How is that possible?
Here's his storyHow is that possible?
Team left, Furion sold everything, made divines, herp.
I think it splits the selling price among remaining players?
Is terrorblade going to be part of the hero line up at some point?
holy shit indeed lol.
Always remember when playing a support, someone NEEDS to buy a chicken, drop it and ALWAYS let your carry get the farm in the lane, and last hits on enemy heroes, if you can help it.
Trying to read up on the game and come across this sentence;
Code:Always remember when playing a support, someone NEEDS to buy a chicken, drop it and ALWAYS let your carry get the farm in the lane, and last hits on enemy heroes, if you can help it.
Dah fuck?
This is the oddest game. Someone NEEDS to buy a chicken and drop it? I mean I'm reading with a perplexed look on my face all the way through the guide and then they throw that in there.
By the time of the International 2 we'll only be missing 5-10 heroesTobi confirms he lent his voice to something while at Valve. Whether that's to a hero, an announcer, or to a documentary, that's anyone's guess.
Put my money on the latter two.
- International II in a couple months time! (Okay, probably expected)
- Order of the heroes on the concept art wall isn't a clue.
- Valve has a stream room?!
Tobi pretty much confirmed Valve is going to hire Cyborgmatt.
Praise jesus.No hero unlocks confirmed.
yeah that's what he said.Singsing is the highest rated Dota 2 player, lol.
It's nice to know the issue concerning visible MMR/ranking and such is being thought through
Gah, I can't watch all this stuff at the moment, can someone sum up the information other than the posts above? What is this about the hiring CyborgMatt?
For those who missed it, here's a quick summary of the Q&A TobiWan gave on his trip to Valve.
Disclaimer - I may have missed a few points here and there.
Did they use your voice? Yes! Im a commentator, they used my voice. I was quite busy working from 8am-8pm every day.
When Dota2 goes public, will that have any affect on the frequency of your livestreams? Probably not - in fact the frequency might even go up when it goes public.
Did you meet/touch IceFrog? What does he smell like? No, I did not meet him but I will in a couple of months before the International 2. Possibly a week before. I did sit at his desk however - In the picture of the horn the phone of the right side is on IceFrog's desk!
On the creation area of Dota2: It was really cool. All their desks were moveable so no one had a set office. In that office picture the voice guys were working in the back but I dont think you can see them. I was really surprised that every single person was happy. I have never seen that anywhere else the staff loved their jobs. There was a cafeteria on every floor and even a massage room where you could go any time!
On the test game he played at Valve: I played test game Tuesday as Natures Prophet. I got 700gpm and the biggest challenge I had was Zoids Doom Bringer
Any news on hero release dates? No all that stuff is sworn to secrecy. Its very much a week to week process. Someone on Reddit tried to guess the order of hero release based on the picture I posted with the wall but none of that stuff correlates.
How did you watch the Premier League in the US? There were little TVs around Valve and a room where livestreams are constantly streaming.
Did you meet Gabe? How was he in person? No he wasn't there, he was off doing something else, I dont know. The reaction when Gabe let slip that Dota2 was going F2P was really funny. Everyone seemed to be like 'Thanks Gabe!'
Did you see any concept art? I saw so much concept art there were multiple walls of concept heroes. That guy in the picture of the wall has a list in his hand of when and what heroes they want to release
Any news on Terrorblade? No. However I was told that by time of The International 2 we should have all heroes apart from 5-10.
Can you confirm/deny that Valve loves hats? Of course they do but no one wearing one strangely. Right now in TF2 you can go make a hat and sell it I may be insinuating something..?
On The International 2: If you want to compete secure your roster!! If you change just one player your team will not be eligible. Teams are going to announced earlier than last time. You may be invited if youre part of upper-class, but to be there you must have stable team. What about stability Chinese teams? Anything about distribution of teams? I cant say. No teams have been selected or even contacted. I think it depends on quality of teams. No one is 100% confirmed until posted on the Valve website. I think itll stick to 16 teams. A lot of people were worried when the prize of 1million was announced but the scene keeps going with Valve running this big thing every year. Its really cool because sponsors want to see teams fight. Also, it's being held in Seattle.
Will there be Russian servers? I dont know if servers will specifically be in Russia but I can confirm that server capacity has been increased by 150% over just past week. SEA as well. Server growth is insane and they know it. Dota2 is almost most played game on steam and already has more active users than HoN.
On The Defense 2: Its really close were waiting on one team to confirm.
Tidehunter hat for TF2? I dont know, Im not gonna say
What rank am I? Sing_Sing is currently the highest ranked Dota2 player in the beta as of this writing. (Synderen says that the fact that he now knows that cant be good)
Techies? I cant say. I think Valve has mixed feelings because half of them hate it and half love it.
You mentioned you had something to show, what is it? First game NextKZ vs mTw you said it was so weird looking at this HUD. Is something is different? No comment
How is F2P going to work? You already kind of know. As far as the financial side, I think everyone knows how TF2 was created. Regarding bonuses with items that you get (E.g. different weapons in TF2) in terms of stats/effects - I asked if items in Dota2 would have similar effects and the answer was NO!
On easy mode and other modes from Dota: They are looking at lots of different modes, but I really want a custom maps editor!
Will MMR or something comparable be made visible on release? I believe it will be made visible but it's still under discussion.
Mac version? Didnt see anything
On DotaTV: I recommended some changes that should help people doing tutorials.
On Half Life 3: Nothing to know because I know nothing. But I was asked about it at customs though
