Support NeoGAF

[Heavy's Sandvich]

8 weeks since elder titan.

stop spoiling us valve.

 

[Sibylus]

Seems pretty evident that they're holding any and all complete heroes for the release (which seems imminent, given they're talking about it and just now released mac and linux support for the Source SDK).

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

So I broke an 8 game losing streak in a game where I was forced to share the offlane with a Skywrath Mage and did really shitty (he took most of the farm - didn't have boots until during the first night). Team still won though.

 

[SteveWinwood]

400 employees don't work on dota, it's more like 50

no sorry i found that picture from a comment section on the internet pretty sure its true

 

[Artanisix]

Woo! What are the plans for a GAF guild?

I'll be making it tomorrow and inviting all ze Gaffers.

 

[G-Unit]

I work for valve... LOL

 

[Gully State]

I don't get why DOTA keeps getting new heroes. Wouldn't it be better for Valve for them to release the new heroes first in DOTA2?

 

[Boken]

hey whered you get my picture

There is no reason for Valve to hold the original Dota back at this point.

Abaddon is set up with pick and ban sounds, and his model scale was redone. I think next week we actually get him.

Also, looks like in the future is going to be a reward for playing 5 bot matches and 10 'limited hero pool' matches, maybe some hats. Also, work is being done on some fantasy league.

 

[Cellbomber]

I've not followed how guilds will work. What is the benefits or features it will bring?

I assume the main thing will be able to see everyone without them being on your friends list.

 

[JambiBum]

Are you just going to invite everyone that is in the chat channel?

 

[vocab]

That loud death sound is a great addition to the game.

Fuck you icefrog.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

How are the concurrent numbers looking after week-on-week updates and new heroes?

Oooo that's good news.

I will be asking who wants an invite and then going through by that. Not going to spam invites.

 

[bounchfx]

any idea if players can join more than one guild?

I believe so.

Oh man, a fantasy league would be quite awesome.

Looks like Valve is still playing around with red omniknight, this web movie file thingy was in the patch:

[HK-47]

Why don't you just mute the person if they're acting like a "cunt"?

Entirely too much work. Gotta let shitty Valve algorithms do it for me.

lol their clothes are so Eastern European. Those sandals... those capris

 

[Dreavus]

Dota2-lore-gaf, Skywrath Mage has both bird-talon hands and bird-talon feet.

Given this, shouldn't Vengeful Spirit also have bird-talon hands and feet since they're from the same kingdom or whatever?

I must have an answer to this very important question.

 

[Haly]

Vengeful spirit is a spirit.

Spirits can be what they want

Technically she was stripped of her wings and anything else that resembles a bird.

 

[Atlantis]

We can be noobs together?

Sounds good.

 

[Lotto]

Jesus christ.

 

[Sibylus]

Oh shit, they gave Sniper eyeballs?

 

[Lotto]

His voice definitely doesn't fit him anymore :\ He looks waaaay too angry lol, kinda reminds me of Lycan.

 

[Sibylus]

I'd be fine if they gave him a voice with more flavor, akin to the new model. The first release was unremarkable in every respect.

 

[childplease]

Hopefully they redo clockwerk next and give him some cosmetics.

 

[Captain Fish]

You got peeped.

 

[Vaporak]

Valve doesn't own Dota.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Sniper is always so smug when he kills you. Getting called a wanker by the game is not fun.

 

[Captain Fish]

Just report sniper, he'll get muted.
Hero muting would be so next level.

Typical anthropocentric shit. (She still has fairly bird-like hands)

Vengeful spirit is a spirit.

Spirits can be what they want

Like this!

 

[Boken]

sniper looks like an angry sunburnt irishman

He would look to much like Dragon Knight.

She made a deal with her goddess and traded in her old, broken body for a new and powerful one that would allow her to get revenge.

RRRRRRRRRRREVENGE

 

[Mononoke]

Where's my Luna cosmetics.

 

[shira]

Cyborg up

Dat pudge set "particle" effect

[poppedcollar69]

I like the sniper changes.

 

[Sibylus]

Milkman gonna go nuts when he sees that colon hook.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

In-game fantasy Dota good god. And you're gonna have to trade/pay to get everything and fill out your compendium.

My wallet is in tears.

 

[Boken]
