Other news - I made some progress on the one cosmetic I've been working on earlier today. Finally got over a hump of a tedious bit of work manipulating parts of it (just very draining to focus on), so with that part done, I think I can make quicker headway on the other steps of the process. Part of the sluggishness was just avoiding working on it because I knew fixing the stuff I did wouldn't be enjoyable, compounded with the fact I had tried to work on it before a couple times but ended up just getting stuck and having to reload an old save.

CyborgMatt posted this. The files for the Mac and Linux beta aren't up, but looks like they are coming soon.

Also I found this interesting tidbit. I might split this part into it's own thread, but I don't want to rile up people over HL3 again.

If you encounter a bug while using Source 1 games, first search the issue list to see if it has already been reported. Include closed issues in your search.

[Gully State]

No Bloodstone for me either...Why hast thou forsaken me, Gaben?

Source 2 has been in the works for years now. We've known it's coming.

Regardless it's interesting to see yet another actual reference to it by Valve, because they have mostly denied or said "no comment".

I somehow missed this when it happened.

 

[Trasher]

No Bloodstone.

Nearly 1000 games since this crap was released too.

Do you just get it in your backpack if you get one? Or how does that work?

[Hylian7]

I got the level 2 Bloodstone. I think it is based on how many keys you gave as gifts, and I gave 3.

What exactly is the point of the Bloodstone? It's not equippable, tradeable, nor craftable (yes, it says that). Is it just for showing off in your inventory or what?

 

[TheIronChancellor]

For those waiting for bloodstones, I didn't have one then it appeared in my inventory after a bit.

 

[Aesthet1c]

Anyone else been stuck in a queue forever?

We can't find a team game for the life of us (Waited 10-15 min, twice), and now we are doing normal and up to almost 10 min wait.

This is US West and East btw.

Just had a 15+ minute one on stream, I just got into a game though. I had AP, RD and USW and USE selected.

No you don't. I actually closed DotA and reopened it and it was there haha.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Apparently gave 9 gifts.

Level 2.

10 must be the cutoff for 3.

Goddammit.

 

[Thermite]

Got my bloodstone, guess it's just taking awhile for Valve to get them to everyone.

Nah, I gave 10 away and I'm only level 2. I'm pretty sure the level is just dependent on when you activated Dota 2 on your account.

Possible, but I don't think so. Me and a friend activated at the same time and have dfifferent levels. Mine is lvl1 or plain.

 

[Calidor]

I got a level 3 bloodstone. What is this for?

 

[Exuro]

Mine is level 2 and I only have 1 gift granted.

 

[Einbroch]

Maybe it's a combination of date joined and gifts given.

 

[dorkimoe]

got a bloodstone, doesnt say level so I assume its level 1

*cries*

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Production value for this ECL is pretty good. I think the desk people are all green-screened though.

 

[KingKong]

people are saying bloodstone is based on year joined, level 3 is 2011, level 2 is 2012 and level 1 is 2013

 

[gillFTR]

I got into the beta in the first month. Pretty sure its how many dota invites you sent. I got 6 gifts.

 

[BraXzy]

I don't have a bloodstone yet How can you find out when you first joined/gifts given?

 

[dorkimoe]

I got into the beta in the first month. Pretty sure its how many dota invites you sent.

that is stupid. should be hours played along with invites and money spent in store

Does it say level 2 or 3 if its leveled up?

 

[SteveWinwood]

it should be how big your donger is

 

[Moaradin]

I got a level 2 and I only gave 1 key away.

I also joined in 2011.

 

[KingKong]

it should be how big your donger is

email Valve a pic and wait 7-10 business days for a response

 

[Schweinehund]

this launch is about as exciting as the ti2 awards ceremony

Spoiler

in before dota 2 blog hiatus post until TI3.

 

[dorkimoe]

it should be how big your donger is

in that case they better take mine back

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Level 3 woooooooo

 

[Enco]

He means the general traffic will die and we will slowly devolve into a group of 5-10 people bitching about Treant and PL.

This is completely true. It has happened for every other thread. This is no exception.

RIP Dota GAF. How I hope I'm wrong.

Lol at no patch before release. Valve doesn't give a shit.

Hope I have a bloodstone

 

[Drkirby]

 

[Clawww]

I have a bloodstone, never given an invite away. Not sure what level it is -- "ancestor"

joined in 2012

 

[dorkimoe]

they are still being handed out, so some players might not have them yet

 

[Trasher]

What are we supposed to be looking at?

 

[Kenneth]

No bloodstone either

 

[Exuro]

What are we supposed to be looking at?

He isn't holding the sword.

Looks like someone on reddit found WIP abaddon and LC pics.

Found here apparently https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Dota-2/issues

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

So I have a question.

Are all dongers e-dongers?

 

[K.Sabot]

I got in December 2011 and it's level 2.

Gave 2 keys out.

Now the question is what it is for.

 

[Enco]

Got a bloodstone.

Gave out 5 keys. Feels good mang. They should make them tradeable. Although ill hold onto it.

 

[Thermite]

DAT ABADDON

 

[Atlantis]

Wow, Abaddon looks awesome.

 

[KingKong]

is he floating? weird

 

[Skab]

is he floating? weird

hes on a mount

 

[vehn]

Level 3 bloodstone with 31 gifts granted. I one day bought like 50 dota 2 keys (for 2 cents each) and gave them out to everyone on my friends list that didn't have dota. I think 0 of them actually played it more than 1 hour though >.>
