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.

Lol I do agree. Looks like mecha ursa.

 

[Captain Fish]

They chose the best quote to headline their blog with. Can't listen to it without cracking up.

 

[shira]

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

A big patch before 2 major LANs.. mo. Prolly Nov 25th - same as after TI3/afterMLGcolumbus.

Add heroes without adding them to CM. Solved.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Yeah that Ursa set certainly has subpar textures.

 

[BraXzy]

EDIT: Nevermind, I'd only got half way through, it's bad.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

My god, has anyone seen this? Am I just in a giddy mood or is this funny?

One of the unfunniest things I've had the displeasure of watching.

I think they want the focus to be on 100% on MLG, not farming item minigame

If MLG sucks, thats a big blow to NA dota.

 

[Schweinehund]

awesome post by valve.

 

[BraXzy]

Since they thought the update would be ready for Halloween, they can't be that far off. Maybe a week or two?

Does anyone think this Ursa set might become the next alpine? It just seems so off from the normal well made, pieces that are consistent with the game art.

 

[IceMarker]

Good on Valve for admitting their mistakes.

 

[Complex Shadow]

honestly. i didnt even miss diretide. no mistakes made imo. diretide is just something neat they did last time. they didn't HAVE to do it again.

any idea what the "big" up date is guys?

please let it be one time pay to play. lol j/k.

Spoiler

no i am not

 

[Kreunt]

removing last hitting and items from dota 2

 

[ElyrionX]

That Ursa set is incredibly ugly.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

so since it's pretty clear Halloween was not in the cards this year, what's up with the Wraith King?

 

[dorkimoe]

the metacritic score needs to be fixed now

idiots

Can't really put the bun bake into the oven. . . .

So much swag.

dayummmmmmmm

 

[balladofwindfishes]

it seems like Brood will entirely break Diretide.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

it seems like Brood will entirely break Diretide.

hmmmmm.

yep.

they're gonna have to take her out.

 

[BraXzy]

Was Riki not in the game last Diretide? (Genuine question)

 

[droppedbear]

They will probably have to take Meepo out of Diretide otherwise to easy to just poof to safety (can't remember if he was in last year as well or not).
Also it is good to know the have had something large in the works - hopefully it is a custom games mode editor or something similar.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Was Riki not in the game last Diretide? (Genuine question)

yes. his invisibility isn't the problem. the issue is her being able to traverse all of the necessary landscape. She'll be able to drop 3 webs and be able to damn near get from one ancient to the other without interruption extremely fast.

The amount of investment required to stop that will be unreasonable.

Ahh yeah, I didn't think about that. Good point!

 

[Haunted]

What's the Ursa set everyone's talking about?


Good on Valve for making that blog post. I stopped bitching when Pyrion said on his stream "Yeah, no Diretide. I know what Valve is working on, it's going to be fine. Trust in your friend Pyrion." Very excited to see that big patch.

It doesn't have to be ancient to ancient.

It could be

 

[fiore]

So looks like the patch will add ranked matchmaking

 

[Head of Vengarl]

Nice to see Valve making a post! Maybe they should do that more regularly...

Won a match as DP earlier today. Very solid hero. Especially against Weaver because her AoE silence and nuke ignore Linkens Sphere. And that ult! Shadow Shaman and I were just wrecking towers.

?

 

[Conceptor]

Anyone else watching NSL Grand Finals? :lol this game 1

 

[Semblance]

I wonder if this 'big patch' will also have Slark and Brood enabled for CM again. I hate not being able to play him in my captain's games.

 

[Sibylus]

Woke up to find a blog post, promise of Diretide, promise of mystery patch, two WCS streams, and a NSL finals stream. SUDDENLY EVERYTHING HAPPENING

But forreal, couldn't give less of a shit about Diretide. It's fun and I'll play. But it's a sideshow to the mystery patch, and it always was.

 

[Skab]

My only question with the big update is how many heroes were getting.

 

[Conceptor]

MP-GOD INVOKER

 

[Goon Boon]

I'm beautiful.

[fiore]

Thing is, they didn't use an Ursa, SK, beastmaster, or enigma

 

[ElyrionX]

I played three games today. One solo and two other times with two different 3-stacks. All three games my team got stomped to the fucking ground. I'm talking scores like 50-15 type of games. WTF

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

[Sibylus]

DA FUCK IS THIS GMPGL STREAM?!?!?

Whoa, Dota 1! Is this a replay?

.....accidentally bought the Nexon Supermatch instead.

Sigh.
