I stole your idea and emailed it Valve. They say I'll get a 10% cut on all hat purchases for the new hat hero. I'm now looking at some nice cars and houses to buy as we speak, thanks Boken!

Didn't know these things dropped?
Congrats, apparently those are worth $150

You might have bought a CK set back during TI3 (or after?) and Valve is compensating those who did that because of some screwup with the codes.
Stop making me think I might have techies this year, if it doesn't happen the disapointment will be too big. > <"
But yeah a guess multi hero release could be an explanation, even if a disapointing one.
And why no one say windrunner for good last hit ?

I only mention them because they have some bare bones scripting done for their abilities, which is more than Ember Spirit has for his abilities (he only has a texture at this point).
I do think it's likely they are the next 3 hero ( and really hope so ), but my pessimism is currently only putting LC as a likely 2013 release.

NP is your avatar. You're not allowed to sell.
I decided to have a look at HoN since I keep hearing about it and from my initial impressions, knowing nothing about it, it just looks like an ugly dota. The heroes seem to have the same abilities, there was a big ugly guy who could hook, there was a samurai looking guy who span round with his swords. I mean every hero looked like a replica of DoTa. What's up with that?
Again, that's just my first impressions. I don't know anything about the game beyond that :L

Dota has had the haunted quality in the schema since it was added, because valve based out off of TF2's schema. So while we may get some,I really doubt it.
I just hope we get very frequent updates, the moba genre is a very populated and competitive one, and Valve struck gold and is now in second place, but it jst cannot lay abck on its laurels or it might very well lose the advante. Delaying heroes who are basicly all done aswell as barely making any progress on other heroes for over 2 months is pathetic.

I personally wish Valve wouldn't work on other game modes like Diretide or whatever and just focus on bringing Dota 2 to parity with it's older brother.

I wish they'd bring the game to parity with DOTA before working on other stuff but then again, cosmetics bring in the cash moneys.

did you realize that meeru being on your friends list follows from that statement?

HoN and LoL are both unofficial sequels to DotA. HoN focused on making it close to DotA except faster and then added its own heroes and items. LoL went in a different direction and changed a couple things. It was never really trying to be a real port like HoN sort of was in the beginning.
you need 30 games with the hero to be in the top x hero list
Think I knew this before but forgot, what does that frame around avatar means?
It mean that you have an haunted friend list.
Hello to everyone, long time dota1 player here, finally got registered to post on GAF.
My dota2 name is the same as my GAF name (with the [COPPER SCUM] tag too) if anyone want to add me for friendly games, no stress, random every game, funny flames, free to add.

Due to an issue with the Natures Prophet plushie codes at TI3, owners of the Plushie or CK Entropic set have been granted a Flowering Treant.WTF, loaded up dota and appearantly this dropped for me yesterday??
Didn't know these things dropped?
Hey I had one of them, no Treant though, I'll gladly accept one in trade. I'm being truthful.
Honest! 
This got a laugh out of me.

this is why i told you monkeys to not sell yesterday.
Bubububu all the testing against the other heroes!? Valve time right guys ;>.>
Dota is severely lacking in custom game modes that are actually different compared to its competitors.

I have followed your piece of advice, but now, I don't even want to sell it for $150. I just want to play NP.
You're probably going to be disappointed then.
Unlike Riot, Valve doesn't focus on just their one game. The core team for Dota 2 will be much smaller than those that were working on it pre-release so it's going to take substantively more time for things to get done now. In a way, it's actually rather impressive that they've manage to keep enough employees interested in it to run the International.
I don't think Valve really cares about being the #1 game in the genre by competing through the same channels that Riot does.
I'm not talking strictly in competition with other mobas, but with retaining its own userbase aswell. There are nearly 10 heroes yet to be ported, reduce thet eam when those are done so that we get parity with DotA allstars. Seeing Valve handle Dota 2 right now is one of the most frustrating things, sometiems i can't help but feel other companies could have done better, certainly faster job than what Valve is doing atm.

Faster, yes, better, no.
Just had my first good Naix game, every other time I played him something went wrong... for some reason every time I play him I feel like I need stuns or disables to kill someone, cause I don't do enough damage to finish someone off without him running away, but this time we did have some and I was pretty farmed at the end and got lucky with the bashes as well
Had a team wipe near the end, and another 4 man kill at the very end, felt pretty good lol

Do you guys think he's good on a lane? I don't like jungling for some reason

For me ( and I really don't think I'm alone ) it's not about keeping for 10 year the pace they had, just that the slow down should happen after they get the parity done. ( which would have been done in about 7 month if not less )
Oh, they most certainly could do it faster.
Unfortunately, Valve's development time is one of their biggest weaknesses. Yeah, they always turn out quality, but they could certainly make an improvement in the time it takes to finish. You see it with their others franchises as well. Waiting for Meet the Pyro was pretty damn painful.
Seems like Bulba is stealing Milkman's E.T. build in the WePlay tournament against TR.

Forfeited, they can't get top 4 anyway so guess that's why.
I thought Star Ladder frowned heavily on teams forfiting. Then again, they don't seem to have done anything to teams that did so in the past.

May contain jokes =>
Well guys, I come in here and bitch a lot but today... fuck. I've never had a worse morning of Dota.
All of these were Captain's Draft.
Match 1: Anti-mage
This one I take responsibility for. Had a terrible start and I fed a bit. I could certainly complain about Lich being terrible and constantly pushing the safelane, but I'm willing to take the blame. I focused really hard on farm throughout, to overcome my bad start and managed to end up okay. But we could never come back. WR and Lich both did very poorly. Bristle was really good.
Match 2: Night Stalker
I had a pretty good start, 6-1 or so. Disruptor and Dark Seer were the worst of the worst this community has to offer. Faggot this, nigger that. Disruptor thinks he's Bill Belichick and does nothing but give orders and criticize. DS d/cs, abandons, disruptor quits. Garbage game.
Match 3: Magnus
In my opinion a garbage draft. Again, not my greatest performance, but I was holding it down mid. Unfortunately Meepo was excellent and destroyed bottom lane. Warlock d/c'd constantly, every minute and a half or so. Team just gave up, so did I. Other team was really cool though and sportsmanlike about it all. Played a fun little game of hide and seek while creeps took ancient.
Match 4: Witch Doctor
Not a particularly great draft, and the captain wanted to do a Slardar-SK-WD trilane which sounded like a terrible idea to me. (Maybe I'm wrong?) Puck and SK did nothing but yell at each other all match. They're clearly friends/acquaintances who apparently hate each other. SK apparently only plays Sniper so Puck wanted him to do something else. Bottom line they were all terrible and the game was unwinnable.
I've never been so down on this game as I am now.
