Support NeoGAF

[SteveWinwood]

Who said Valve wouldn't say anything. You

Yep. I did. I was wrong.

It's uncharacteristic (that they communicated, not that I was wrong, I'm that all the time). I'm glad it happened though. Maybe they're learning.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Major update won't be out this year, I guarant-damn-tee it.

 

[inky]

Too late Volvo, I already jumped ship to Dawngate.

Edot: who is going to make the thread?

 

[Archie]

Rosh needs to wear a Pilgrim's hat and carry a cornucopia or apology not accepted.

 

[brentech]

I guess I can see it become boring after a couple of games. Better dose him

Sometimes you just have to do what's required for the team though.

I just remember winning and feeling like, 'wow, I don't feel like I got to do much.'

Even if I was constantly pushing.

I bumped the old one. No one seemed to care.

 

[Uriah]

I actually liked diretide. And it would be fun with newer heroes like slark or bristleback.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Undead Game!

Broken down models for everything pls.

 

[eznark]

Cool!

 

[Drkirby]

Wonder how long the wait will be. Hopefully next week, but this is valve, so I going to just dial my expectations to never, then I can't get disappointed.

 

[Deadstar]

And God spoke.
And the people listened.
And Diretide came.
And the people were pleased.

[Heavy's Sandvich]

The new "game is ready" sound

 

[Archie]

Amazing.

edit: oops, 6 hours old!

It's actually up to 80k now.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Now that that's all done....

༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Give FROSTIVUS

I wish they would implement the ticket system with CSGO, I know the keys serve a similar purpose, but would be quality to be support some tournaments.

They could just make an esports chest, but I don't think dota really needs one, it has a very healthy tournament scene.

 

[Boken]

BALLS has terrorblade. dota doesnt.

the choice is obvious.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

I know they have done (hence why I mentioned the keys) but I would go further and have a ticket system like they do in Dota 2.

Could make some gun skins for supporting it, different hud, grenades skins, plenty of ways to get people invested in different tournaments.

Edit: I think Dota is doing just fine in the way it supports its scene, was hoping CSGO could follow its lead.

MLG numbers showing some healthy support, which is great.

But terrorblade sucks.

Oh, I read it as using CS:go's system in dota.

 

[dorkimoe]

And while we always want the community to tell us exactly how we’re doing, this is probably a good time to stop cc’ing innocent car manufacturers with your messages.

lmfao

My fault for not being clear enough, would love it if CSGO could follow Dota's lead.

 

[Lotto]

yes finally, I get to go trick or treating next week, can't wait!

 

[shira]

ixmike's CM set

pls upvote, thumb up this epik pwnage set

I'm in for Movember

 

[KevinRo]

Yeah. This is Valve we are talking about.

 

[theRizzle]

Why the fuck do companies do this to themselves? Not that they are obligated to, but literally one tweet saying "I know you are mad about Diretide... we will explain in a week or 2" could have saved so much rage

 

[Dreams-Visions]

NEXT BIG PATCH OMG NEW HEROES

yea whateva

Cyborgmatt posted here saying that nobody could remember the blog password.

He may have been kidding, but I wouldn't have been surprised. Considering how infrequently they actually use the shit, I had no reason to believe it wasn't true.

 

[BoosterDuck]

HAIL ESPOOOOOOOOORTS!

 

[Baha]

Ursa set + G-League ticket bundle is on the store now, $9.99.

༼ つ ◕‿◕ ༽つ Getting Diretide

the audio quailty will be crud as always.
set is a little too busy

 

[The Technomancer]

Thanks for the communication finally Valve. Good to know stuff is coming

 

[KevinRo]

That Ursa set is fucking UUGGGGLLYYYY

 

[Anteo]

So, after they patch diretide in again, are people going to tweet some thanks to volvo (and I mean Volvo, the car thing)

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Does anyone remember if there were neutrals on the map or not in Diretide? If not I'd have to rethink my *uber leet* strategy for taking down Rosh insanely fast. Though it still assumes the format isn't changing (which is unlikely - seems like it will be at least somewhat different.)

Still would need a 10-man stack to be paired all together though.

Worse than Alpine Ursa. Looks more suited for Shadow Demon or something.

They said in the blog post they were changing things. I wouldn't be surprised if they got rid of the rosh fight at the end, that was terrible.

Like an hour in everyone had figured out with eblades and dagons it took all of like 2 seconds anyway.

 

[Artanisix]

pw neogaf for INHOUSE LETES DO THIS

 

[dave is ok]

I was really disappointed in Valve for not saying anything and I'm really happy they finally did.

 

[Boken]

The Plan:

-do nothing. community super angry.
-do something. community super happy, forgets angry.

better than just

-do something. community expected it anyway, community neutral.


somebody has this on their whiteboard

The Ursa set looks like the worst WoW armor in the world. Maybe its their tribute to Blizzcon

Worth buying in case the set is pulled?

It's in a tournament ticket bundle so unless we see another TPL situation, I doubt it'll get removed.

fuck DireTide. that time has passed and ship sailed.

The more interesting thing is that they expected their "big update" to be ready for the Halloween season and has been under construction for some time. We're well over a week past that and it's still not ready. Suddenly, I don't suspect it will be done in November at all.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Even if it got pulled, an item isn't held in high regard by the community simply because there aren't many of them. It still has to be desirable.

This looks like hot shit on a stick.

 

[kasane]

Volvo reband!!

 

[Anbokr]

Diretide coming next week

Valve is sorry

i thought the complaining is meaningless, steve said valve guna valve

Yea I dunno why people are screaming next week. I hope so but I doubt it. But they kinda have to hurry I suppose. Because they sure as hell don't want to skip greeviling/frostivus for christmas after this drama.

I suspect they'd just delay the "big patch" again if it looks like it will run into Greevling time.
