on the first blood update, isn't that an updated Axe model?

Edit: New Nova was reverted :/

 

[Boken]

I already only get commons/uncommons all the time anyway

just because i dont play all the time doesnt mean i should be treated like a SECOND CLASS COMMONER

WHY AM I ONLY GETTING COMMONS VALVe

 

[Artanisix]

wow they didnt add the slark/naga baby courier?

wtf valve cmon best courier ever

 

[The Technomancer]

Nova got an upgrade

nooooova

 

[balladofwindfishes]

nooooova

it was reverted because of complainers saying it was a male lion and Nova is a female

it's a made up species. It can be whatever it needs to be

And then they wonder why we don't get content. When they have to remake heroes 2-3 times so people stop whining, it takes lots and lots of time.

 

[Artanisix]

Or maybe it was reverted because they meant for it to be a cosmetic purchase.

You don't actually know that ballad.

The glados announcer pack. I must own this.

"I bet this will really impress those people at the comic book store"

"I hope you bought the fire gauntlets of strength goblet boots"

"Welcome to dota, it's like chess... but for idiots"

Maybe new Nova is going to be a cosmetic?

The Dark, Lotus, and Crystal Chest have been taken out of rotation. Gone FOREVER.

don't you mean "c'mon VALVe" :twist:

[Chris R]

Update seems like it will be nice! Just need to get more games in so my level can get not crap!

Good. Newer isn't always better

Would the following interfere with stuff like the above:

"Beginning soon, users will be suspended from Dota 2 for 30 days when external tools attached to Dota 2 are detected by the Valve Anti-Cheat system"

Eh, the old one had really blurry textures and sort of a low poly model.

I think that's tied to those using the app that lets you install auto scripts, or nearly cheats really.

There's one that warns you if someone is being charged. Quite a few other things as well.

Prediction: Wind Runner will be changed so Shackle Shot can shackle more then 2 units, and Focus Fire will scale in attack speed.

Also, removed item lists. Can't say for sure if these will be marketable though, they could still be in the store:

Then they should have upgraded it instead of changing it

Shadowblade carry Nyx? Too. Damn. Stronk.

Wouldnt that make her too good? Windrunner seems like one of the most balanced heroes ti me

 

[Boken]

I think dr kirby is in normal tier or something, dont mind him

 

[Artanisix]

tinker will get aghanim's scepter effect

effect: whenever tinker casts a spell or uses an active item, he casts a single homing missile that deals damage equal to his missile spell

 

[Haly]

Too leeg. Not crazy enough given Icefrog's new approach to Aghanim effects.

Rearm:
Ability: Channeled
Affects: Self
CHANNELED - Resets the cooldown on most of Tinker's items and abilities.
Channeling Time: 3/2/1/0*
Cooldown: 0
Mana: 150/250/350/450*

-or-

Rearm:
Ability: Channeled
Affects: Self or Ally*
CHANNELED - Resets the cooldown on most of Tinker's items and abilities.
Channeling Time: 3/2/1
Cooldown: 0 (30 when cast on ally)
Mana: 150/250/350 (+200 when cast on ally)

The valve economist prolly thinks this will stimulate sales

Rearm now gives you overheat charges.
Each rearm gives you 25% overheat. Every 5 seconds without casting rearm, you will refresh to 0% overheat. At 100% overheat, Tinker's technology bugs out for 5 seconds. You cannot rearm your spells while overheated (but you can still rearm items). Each of his abilities becomes buffed until overheat resets.

Laser: Bounces off the target 4 times, silencing and blinding each person hit
Missile: The missiles now bounce the target into the air, stunning for 2 seconds
March of the Machines: Machine goblins move twice as fast, last twice as long, and apply a stacking slow debuff of 5% per goblin hit
Rearm: Knocks back enemies in melee range

 

[KingKong]

if its anything like TF2 and CS:GO the prices on these items on the market will plummet. Expect 5 cent commons, 15 cent uncommons, 45 cent rares

It also gives a % of market sales to the modelers. That was one of the major reasons. Sorry forget that

I hope so, because looking right now, a lot of the sets that got removed aren't that old. If I ever take a liking to one of the heroes finding their set is going to be a hassle the way the market is right now.

I'm confused. Some of these aren't in sets. What will become of them?

*edit*

Ah, I didn't read the update all the way.

Many items have been removed from the store. These can now be sold and bought on the Steam Community Market! Workshop contributors will receive a share of each resale of their items. The items that have been removed are not immortal: they may return to the store in future sales or events, or they may appear in the drop list from time to time

Why are they removing things? I don't really understand. There are some relatively new items in those.

-Item purchases can be made at the secret shop if the courier is at that location without selecting the courier

 

[Drkirby]

Er, the reason for my prediction is that the two spells now have extra attributes for those two effects.

 

[Tagyhag]

I'm hoping with the new update the new cosmetics on the market will be cheaper than they were on the store.

Makes me feel bad for buying some earlier but live and learn.

The Hecate set and the Nightwatcher sets are so old in the files, they're going to drop day 1 despite only being added on Monday.

lol Valve.

EE-sama's story

RattleSnake INT:

We will be playing like normal till after DH. That is, we will be attending Starladder (if we qualify), DH (If we qualify) and hopefully MLG Columbus (MLG ADAM PLEASE!!!!), and the NEXON Korean tournament.

Afterwards we will fly to China and stay for at least 6 months. However we may fly back to play in some major NA/EURO Lans.

The $200000 thingy is not our salary, its everything combined I think. Actual not too sure at all what that is really. Might be the cost of my organs when they harvest it once I get to china.

I think everything's gonna be normal once I get to China. Most likely I'll find a way to use twitter/yt/fb and twitch.tv. According to Pajkatt Practice ends at 10 am est, so I think I can choose between streaming between NA or EURO times depending on my sleeping schedule. I'll have to see then. For example if I wake up at 7-8 am i can stream till like 1-2 pm maybe.
