i had the shittiest luck in the chest.

 

[Exuro]

Anybody want to do a compendium match with a noob? I've never played one and need a treat for my bird courier.

 

[monocromo]

Whats the story behind the shitty wizard ?

 

[sephi22]

I have some extra CK helms and Rubick Crystalline staffs from the new chest.
If anyone wants them in exchange for Quirt's chest stuff, let me know.

 

[carbonbased]

anyone have a spare NS, Sylar, or DDC player card? those are the last 3 I need to have the whole set.

 

[Nokterian]

Anyone wanna trade A Bit of Boat,Spectral Light,Heat for TI3 chest keys?

 

[rhophiehalul78]

Whats the story behind the shitty wizard ?

im curious too. i also noticed several heroes have ingame lines like "shitty wizard..." and "scummy wizard" that are not actually implemented.

 

[shira]

Whats the story behind the shitty wizard ?

It's one of the programmers' nicks - Finol.

 

[Anilusion]

I think the model was used as a placeholder for Roshan during early alpha/beta.

 

[BraXzy]

Which lockless luckbox drop is currently rarest then? When I get mine should I sell it or open it or keep it?

For those who don't know, the 'Shitty Wizard' in-joke is from the model team. Someone made a little, basic 'Wizard' model that served as a place-holder for creeps and a few hero abilities in the early alpha versions of the game, with the joke being it was a 'shitty wizard' because it was such a basic, or 'shitty' model. Valve being Valve, they decided to have the voice actors all record 'secret' shitty/crummy Wizard lines, in reference to the placeholder wizard model.

Edit: Welp.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Is Dota down? I got thrown out mid game and can't reconnect. "Connecting to Dota 2 Network". Yeah, sure.

Wait, did the Finol pause actually change anything? I've only seen the .gif, don't know the context.

 

[Crub]

700 hours in and I just learnt about shift queueing.

GOD. FUCKING. DAMMIT.

 

[Dictator93]

Wasn't the shitty Wizard the catch all "fake person" to blame for all the unknown bugs in the pre release builds?

1500 hours later: What do you mean you can buy a blink dagger and Arcane Boots from the side shop?!

Playing with Peruvians makes me depressed.

I feel you . They are the pinoy of US east

 

[Tobe]

arent you peruvian?

 

[shira]

That's not the legit price. Itll prolly settle into $75-100.
It's not limited edition.

 

[Exuro]

Ugh this compendium match is taking over 20 minutes to find players >_>

 

[Schweinehund]

It's one of the programmers' nicks - Finol.

The best part about this is you just know he's getting shit around the office.

 

[la flama blanca]

arent you peruvian?

How dare you! Ecuadorian, close enough.

Wait, boots I knew, but you can buy Blink Dagger there?

Yep. I was flabbergasted when I first found out.

The other thing I just learnt is you could buy or take items from your stash if you stand close to the shop of the enemy's fountain.

I knew about the enemy fountain. Not even tried shift queueing before, I'll have to give that a go :L

 

[woodland]

Hope you guys know you can get ult orb there too

 

[Tobe]

there should be a big item post on the OP, or at least a link to dota items wiki.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

Oh, who doesn't.

Spoiler

I actually learnt that last week when buying manta style for Mirana, lol.

Says who? From what I have seen, Garrad is exclusive to TI3, and you can only get it from a ball at the event, the ones you buy in the online shop can't have the wizard. Are you mixing up Garrad and Dolfrat?

Won't Garrad be available for the Valve Store too?

Nevertheless, people say it will take at least 2 months for them to make new plushies. the price will probably go higher than that in the next two months.

Not to mention even if it is available, it will still be a blind box buy with the Valve Store. Prices could still be high for a while.

 

[M.D]

Played Timbersaw for the first time, hes a ton of fun! The voice acting made me laugh multiple times lol

Using the chain is not as hard as I thought it would be, but I did miss a couple of times..
The ulti is kinda crazy, got me some great kills early game

Are there any tips for him? last hitting was a bit difficult with him, do you usually get attack speed?

You get mana probably bloodstone is the go to item on him. He excels at the mid game. After blood get shiva get tanky enough so you can get to spam that pure damage.

If anyone is interested...

Funnily enough I won my first Alch game today against a PL and Lifestealer + Storm combo. Only 619 GPM though. Supports were pretty good. Probably would have been better if it was a tri-lane from the start, since there was some serious harass and zoning from their Abaddon and Silencer.

 

[domstah]

Thought I'd try my luck:

Looking for:

• Featherfall Locks (Windrunner)
• Snowdrop Tassels (Crystal Maiden)

Have:

Holy fuck at the prices of those TI3 items.

Furion's Scythe and Treants are like 100keys each.

:O

[Sgt.Pepper]

Valve should make Caustic Finale applied to any hero hit by Burrowstrike/Sandstorm/MAYBE Epicenter.

 

[Harry_Tequila]

Just had my best game yet. Totally dominated the other team with Weaver. Such a fun hero to play as.

 

[Telosfortelos]

Holy crap, spirit of calm just dropped! My first mythical drop.

Carry Treant can be hilariously often.

Not always. But sometimes.
