riddles within trolls with trolls within riddles

༼ つ ◡_◡༽つ i'm tired

 

[Grakl]

Aren't those just the colors of brewmaster's ult?

 

[dave is ok]

That amulet might actually be a teaser if they didn't accidentally reveal ember and earth spirit already

 

[Ketch]

The clues are there, "the community is more excited about new heroes then diretide", "he asked me about diretide and nothing else, oh well", the three musketeers.

Obviously they are putting out heroes soon guys....

like christmas probably.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

I'm wondering how Storm's going to be redesigned. Currently he's my favourite character but I doubt he'll remain a jovial fat guy if the other two are monstrous badasses.

Man, Matt I bet you were just waiting for Valve to release something so the heat on you would lighten up.

They'll keep him fat and jolly. It's not like they'll redo his V.O.

If they changed his appearance to a badass looking hero they would have to change his voice set too, I doubt that.

 

[NG28]

I choose to believe they ran into some unexpected bugs and will patiently wait for the release of Diretide

Spoiler

next year.

 

[MKAllDay]

Well, the spirits are Brewmaster's ult. In WC3 DotA Ember, Storm and Earth spirits use the same models as Primal Split.

 

[Grakl]

Oh, cool, that makes sense.

 

[Randdalf]

I hope the other two are similarly ebullient and light-hearted.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

His actor was in for tf2 lines, so it's not impossible. Hopefully at least ember and earth rival lines

 

[Anbokr]

na bro that's why we got storm we need ember to be fckn monster badass wit dat facial hair u kno

 

[Randdalf]

Yeah but John Patrick Lowrie is practically a Valve employee the amount of work he does for them.

 

[Dahbomb]

"Give Diretide" is the new "When's Marvel".

Damn what a blow up. I thought people would br over this by now.

 

[Shorty11857]

So enemy team has shotgun dagon Riki, and I'm Skywraith, this is stupid

 

[dave is ok]

So does

correspond with places on the map? The spot for Earth Spirit looks kind of like a cliff on a topographical map.

 

[Murder. She Wrote]

Played a game last night that was 3v3 for most of the match. It was Dark Seer (me), DP, Huskar vs Timbersaw, Bristleback, and Vengeful Spirit. They had us on the defensive for most of the time and took out two of our barracks until the very end where me and DP pushed to victory.

I ended up having a Heart of Terasque and an Assault Cuirass on DS lol.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Just for perspective.

We got Medusa in January.

We got Tusk in February.

We got Bristleback in March.

We got Skywratch in April.

We got Elder Titan in May.

Troll got released too in 2013.

 

[Eternal Gamer]

What about a game mode 3vs3vs3 with three ancients

 

[Maleficence]

This latest update is just not downloading for me :/

 

[Divvy]

Highly tempted to buy that courier

 

[Razzer]

I kind of assumed Ember Spirit would be arrogant and badass, like Invoker or Magnus, whereas Earth Spirit would be more serious like Elder Titan. Fitting into the cliches of their element and look.

 

[shira]

What about a game mode 3vs3vs3 with three ancients

 

[dave is ok]

It's like they knew they were fucked because people actually expected a patch with some effort put into it, so they threw together that .jpg and called it 'secret' and put it in at the last second.

 

[Drkirby]

Any info on the tournament included with the nyx set? Name doesn't ring a bell.

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

Haven't played in a couple days but my dota hasn't updated to the diretide patch Wtf

 

[Skab]

I just got here. What is that art thing from? I'm confused.

 

[dave is ok]

Haven't played in a couple days but my dota hasn't updated to the diretide patch Wtf

lol

Matt and Wyk are both hinting heavily that the secret event has something to do with the new Danidem courier.

Fuck Valve if they want me to pay 12.99 for a ticket to their 'maybe it's something, maybe it's not' bullshit game.


EDIT: If anyone bought it, put either a Linkens or a Refresher (or both) on him and send him around the entire map

 

[Spookie]

I'll bite, you and Cyborg owe me £8.

Edit: Well at least the courier looks nice.

 

[Ikuu]

your going to look silly when the real update is out tonight

 

[evlcookie]

I agree with this. And give him actual insight into what's going on beyond a couple of days.

And I concur cookie, was thinking that myself earlier today.

#nominateCyborgMattforblogprivileges

How do we make this happen

And would Matt actually do it.. Lets pretend he will.

Dota really needs a proper community manager - someone similar to that role anyway.

 

[Karakand]

How can we as a united community show to valve that they are torturing us.

Torturing!

[Gav47]

That existed as a WC3 map, some Chinese moba has the mode.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

your going to look silly when the real update is out tonight

people would be overjoyed to look silly.

 

[Haunted]

Torturing!

Dota 2 has gotten over three hundred 0/10 user reviews on Metacritic in the last two days.

S4 vs Dendi in EEL

 

[Dreams-Visions]

tears.

in her eyes.

LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO HER, VOLVO.

LOOK.

 

[Dahbomb]

I am surprised no one has made a thread about it on the gaming side with a sensational headline.

"Valve fails to provide Halloween themed update for DOTA 2 - fans undergo meltdown"

 

[Karakand]

"Valve fails to provide Halloween themed update for DOTA 2 - fans undergo meltdown"

I think this might be the one time EviLore is OK with game-specific "news" staying within a community clique thread, lol.

 

[Haunted]

Needs to be more sensationalist.

"Valve abandons Dota 2 development"

 

[ViviOggi]

Needs to be more sensationalist.

"Valve abandons Dota 2 development"

"After listening to community feedback Valve's Dota 2 team has decided to disband"

 

[Dreams-Visions]

"After listening to community feedback Valve's Dota 2 team has decided to disband"

"Dota2 fans demand continuation of annual Halloween festivities, gets silence and hats instead."

 

[Kreunt]

"Valve employees missing since July, presumed ded"

 

[Artanisix]

needs a more flame bait title

"Riot severely outperforms Valve in the fall season"

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Gimme some links or quotes and I'll make the thread m8s.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

"Riot severely outperforms Valve in the fall season"

"Riot offers Halloween-deprived Dota2 players a warm bed."

Try putting the Linkins in the top middle slot, the refresher in the bottom right and something orange in the bottom left. Like the teaser image

Fucking Valve are going to make me buy this dumb courier

 

[inky]

Dedest game.
