Dota 2 Beta Thread V: Real Talk Strikes Back [Tutorials]

Select walks into Black Hole - gg Select, gg.

He really needs a lot more practice or QPAD needs to ditch him, I've gotta say. Seems to be a weak link most of the time.

Not much in the way of new items, if the Mushroom chest can be opened tomorrow, Valve is keeping its contents under wraps.

Name of the new huds that are in the game's files though.

Acid Essence
Crystal Wings
Frozen Touch
Menace
Nature
 
Great, you guys actually jinxed that LC release. It was the only thing to look forward to today.

Also, looks like we are already past the first stretch goal, but nothing happened.

Oh man, I really want SeleCT to be successful in Dota but he made some crucial mistakes that last game. I thought that Qpanda had the weaker lineup that game but still should've won, there was a point mid game after they won a team fight and I think 2 bought back, all ultis were on CD and they didn't push up... ugh oh well game 3 should be fun.

Even though I bet on Dignitas, I would love to see QPad win.

Aw Yeah, 96 days.


I wonder how many people will hold onto these as a collectible.

This bonus alone makes it worth it for the price.

Not sure how much value there would be in having it as a collectible. Certainly not as much as a courier or something which actually has a function besides sitting in your inventory if it doesn't just disappear altogether after TI3.

If you haven't purchased a compendium yet, and were to buy one today, would you still get the battle bonus?

So, do you get a bonus by watching a match? Or is buying the compendium enough?

With Compendium
Watching matches live gives you a chance to get ultra-rare item drops
Watching matches live/later upgrades your compendium weevil
Playing non-practice/lobby games gives you 225% battle bonus which stacks with others.

Without Compendium
Watching matches live/later is free
Playing non-practice/lobby games gives you 225% battle bonus IF others have it.

No. Others don't get the full battle bonus %. They get 25.

If everyone in a game has the compendium, then you get up to 225+9*25 = 450%? That is a good way to farm items with nine other contacts.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
I have no idea what this even means.

He means the beta invites that don't have regional restrictions (the ones Valve gave out en masse recently cannot be redeemed in China because the distribution is being handled by Perfect World).

Those universal invites are worth a lot more because they're so in demand by the Chinese players.
