For a boring bug fix patch this one is pretty good. Love the new Earthshaker model and I think all the MM changes should be good.

 

[Moaradin]

Some of those chat wheel options are super useful. The game time one actually post the current time into chat. Will be useful for rosh when I can't be assed.

Wait...so ES totem are gone now?

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Booted up test client real quick. New ES looks hot.

Dunno why other people don't have his default set though. He has gloves and a real nice looking totem. Should be fun to make cosmetics for.

I think the fissure effect may be updated too.

Will post pics later if no one else has.

 

[Card Boy]

I made some quick gifs.

His totem is definitely missing. Look at enchant totem. The effect is still there.

Thanks for the 1gigabyte gifs.

New Earthshaker is too awesome, love the changes to the scroll wheel and MM also.

They really need a surrender option. It comes to the point where I afk and then just alt tab and click so I dont get an abandon.

 

[Moaradin]

ES totem works fine for me

His new model looks great.

It is missing, imho.

edit: see post above me.

New ES will murder you in your sleep.

Anti-Mage calls up a magic shop.

This

is

amazing

 

[JustinBB7]

About the gg calling:

If you say "GG" in allchat, there will pop up a window where it says "You will lose the game in 10 seconds" and you have the choice to cancel it.

 

[Ikuu]

 

[JustinBB7]

That's.. amazing.

 

[The Technomancer]

- When matching parties, the matchmaker now also considers the minimum experience level on both teams rather than just the average.

It didn't do this already? I mean, I know it didn't, because I experienced it, but I assumed it just wasn't working properly. It really didn't do this before?

 

[MKAllDay]

Has anyone else been having ridiculously long queue times in the last couple days? Despite the playerbase being at an all time high, my queues have been longer than when the beta was young and had a limited player base.

I posted this question yesterday. It seems there was indeed an issue but it is going to be fixed with this patch:

- Fixed a bug that would cause excessive queue times, especially for large parties or high skill players.

Yay!

Ok cool.

That's one sextastic log.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Anyone got a video of abaddon's new voice?

 

[Technosteve]

earthshaker looks like Ka D'Argo from farscape

 

[Lotto]

I actually hate how angry he looks. Ugh, first Sniper, now this. I get that the model looks better and everything but meh, I'm not a fan.

 

[Anbokr]

Every new model has looked better than the old. EVERY.

 

[Glix]

"I immediately regret my decision" is totally amazing as a chat wheel option.

 

[Skab]

The updated Borrowed Time effect

 

[Technosteve]

that seems more clear

Looks like a new kind of box hound is on the way, along with a unicorn donkey courier.

Only one new set this week, for queen of pain, but a ton of single items. A lot of old, unused items also got descriptions, and there's some more work done on abaddon's griffon set

 

[KingKong]

also looks like they started on that immortal compendium item?

+ "name": "Immortal Armor",
+ "defindex": 5156,

Any good items? Guessing they're for the new chest

"Fixed Backswing behavior for:"

What does this mean exactly? The casting animations work better?

 

[Archie]

Any LC strings, textures or particle effects?

 

[SteveWinwood]

Backswing animation is just a cosmetic thing that it adds on a little thing on the end. You can cancel it by putting in any input to interrupt it. If you don't interrupt it, you're just wasting time, but it's not a huge deal.

The only new things were an armlet for chaos knight, a dagger for pudge and some riki daggers. The others were old items just being set up for release, notably that concept art wig for death prophet

 

[Captain Fish]

New Raigor looks aggro as fuck. I like it, but I'll kinda miss chillshaker.

 

[Sibylus]

You will learn to love angershaker. Or you won't. He'll make you love him.

Looks like they are shipping Abaddon's Valve-made set this week. Can't wait to see how it looks on him.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Is the dagger for pudge a blink dagger? 'Cause that would be funny.

Yeah I get that, but what does it mean that it fixed it? That you can no longer interrupt the animations?
