It doesn't look very cool. Prolly depends on how big Finol's ego is.
Dat Bulldog is such a joker.
Can't wait to pick up a $10 shadow blade.

they did? I wasn't aware of that.
I'm not sure why any salt would fly. Unless people have somehow been under the false impression that they weren't going to restock their merch (lol?), I've just assumed people have been paying 10x-20x the value of these items simply to be the first on the block to have them. Which is fucking silly...but it's how things have gone, so whatevs. Can't be salty about paying more than $10-$20 for items that were and will be easily obtainable for $10-$20 some weeks later. The thirst is real, and when in the desert, you pay more for a cup of water.

Valve is being so weird this last month it's hard to predict
what's going on behind the walls of the Dota team I wonder. It's been really quiet.
I'll tell you
They are all working on something else. The DOTA team must be pretty barebones lately

Sad, man. Volvo, why hast thou forsaken us.
I dont want to sound like a nut but they told PC Gamer that Legion Commander was coming at official release and even had an untextured LC portrait as a teaser in that fantasy team blog post in July, so it is weird that a month after TI3 Cyborg Matt is making a post saying not to expect her for a while (and I dont think thats just his speculation)
Anyone catch Dendi's stream today?
MM put him up against FATA and paS from Mousesports in a pub.
Bloodbath.

This bothers me the most, no communication at all. If they would just post on the blog, hey guys, we're working on this and that, but it will be another week/month etc.
That would help a lot. Right now we're just guessing every time.

what's the best way to use clock's cogs?
Well they can't make blog posts when there's nothing much to blog post about. All their previous posts (excluding TI3 stuff) have been about stuff they've recently added to the game, and I don't think that a few new cosmetics merits that level of attention.

Pubs have taught me that they exist solely to trap your team mates or block their escape.
Tournaments, what Valve is going to do in the future, etc etc etc
They fail in the communication department
My guess is custom games and some kind of world editor. Should take more than a few weeks to make and support.
valve store have restocked all TI3 T-shirts except the jugg one http://store.valvesoftware.com/
Awesome! I'm all over the Brew shirt.

I want the chaos knight items, but I don't think I'd ever dare wearing that thing in public.

they're transitioning Dota 2 into the long term support system they did for TF2. Less frequent, but larger updates. A smaller team, more focus on bugs, fixing art assets and non-hero content.
This is just the awkward stage between release and long term support. TF2 had the same thing, but it didn't have such an extensive beta. Maybe the extensive beta was a bad idea, it got people used to major updates every week when that isn't feasible at all going forward.

LOL the Dota Stock market just crashed. I hope you sold your luckboxes.
Except it's pathetic for them to be doing this.
The game is far from finished and the major bug fixes list is still huge.
Yah. I could see lots of heroes being released simultaneously being lots of fun. My friend says that they should release unfinished heroes as early as possible on the test client so bugs are ironed out more quickly, but that could just as equally lead to people getting impatient with heroes available on the test client but not the main client.

Oh dam I think mine sold the other day. Can't tell on mobile steam but my wallet has 130$ when there was only 10 before.
Likely, they are still going for $160.
TI3 Item market isn't dead yet. Valve still needs to ship the items!

Prices will be high if not higher as the uninformed stagger, but demand will not be as rampant. The re-sellers know their shit, that's food on their table.
Selling for or priced at? There are idiots selling treasure keys for $200.
edit lol 3 sold at $165

Oh well I'm not gonna complain about losing a bit there. Still like a free game.

what
Well since Boken is just saying food names, I guess I can't make the conversation worse by saying to watch me stream:
http://www.twitch.tv/Drkirby
http://www.twitch.tv/Drkirby
it would give you all the reason in the world to say his (its?) responses irl
get in your car - "chaos rides"
going spelunking - "we descend into chaos"
paper cut at work - "how quickly chaos spreads"
nato bombs syria - "ahead armageddon"
sculpting class at night school - "taste my cudgel"
bringing a romantic partner home - "fall on your knees and lament"
getting your airline pilot friend fired - "now you exist on one less plane"
etc.
We're turning into the Rock Band thread because Valve gave up on the game and there's nothing to talk about.
that game has no replay value though
ps. you guys should get into www.cardhunter.com
its awesome.

plz blizzard let me in to hearthstone beta
arent you a dota player? why would you want to play a game designed for CASUALS?
as a dota player you clearly care about the pure roots and heritage of a game. Card hunter has the creators of magic the gathering as design consultants. thats PURE
you probably play dota because it has more DEPTH and STRATEGY right? well in card hunter you can move your pieces to OUTSMART your enemy. you cant out manuever your enemys minions in hearthstone. theres just less strategy.
theres only one choice.
www.cardhunter.com
(it also has an extensive single player mode)

During lower levels you use to trap so your allies can attack and that's when you are very strong due to your battery assault being at least 3. Later in the game when your ulti is higher level you have time to move slightly away from them after you hit your ulti in which you then cog so they get hit by at least one cog, most times more cause a lot of people underestimate how close they can get to the cogs and end up running into them more lol. It also depends on lineups but in too lazy to get into all that.

In addition to the above if you're laning against annoying casters (not just int Heroes, guys like Axe as well) if you can lure them close and then push them away with a cogs the mana burn hurts
CH kinda laggy since I woke up today. Should have went for a launch queue to ease server impact. Valve always thinking ahead.
"High tier."
At least that is what it says.
Well, time for round 2. Click here to watch me make dumb mistakes in real time:
