Her voice work is great. She's suitably badass. Also Duel has it's own music!



This fucking meme really needs to die.

I really like the idea of a wave defense mode. But it seems it's temporary
Valve pls

 

[Kade]

whoever took the pic was on low setings, in hq she looks like http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/487810527006193603/D1017669A9ADAB26816B139544E4C59EDA847810/

Yeah, that's a lot better. Beautiful ebony goddess.

 

[Wes]

So new mode is PvE basically with escalating rounds of difficulty by my quick glance.

 

[snag]

Wow the event has a completely new map. Check Cyborgmatt's stream now

 

[kasane]

Wow so you need to finish your low priority games together with the party member who dc'd. fuck this man

 

[parasight]

Damn you Volvo. I want the Arcana, the ES horns and the Tusk glove. My Christmas money

 

[Zeknurn]

Oh i think i read it wrong lol

 

[Wes]

Leggy Commander so good. Her ult looks awesome. And that horn!

 

[ScottSullivan]

I love all Wave defense type games this is going to be so fun.

 

[snack]

what is update comin out

 

[SteveO409]

Is the new update enough to warrant a thread on the gaming discussion board? PVE mode would bring in alot of new players just to try out DOTA 2

 

[Hung_real]

what is update comin out

tomorrow

Not if it's a seasonal only game mode.

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

Your Battle Bonus just got better! Now Battle Bonuses will span match minutes played instead of calendar time. The Improved Battle Bonus is available in a 500 minute duration.

I don't believe this is true, Valve. I would use my battle bonuses when I would have a lot of time to play

Yes! Finally a CM hair that looks good

[Wes]

Phoenix textures look weird, yet exciting.

 

[KingKong]

Valve y u do this

 

[Wes]

Cyborg don't listen to twitch chat, this Christmas soundtrack is briliant.


SKELETON KING IS SINGING HIS HEART OUT

 

[balladofwindfishes]

He's already set up, disabling him seems to just be an event thing at this point

 

[Hazaro]

The VICTORY after a duel win reminds me of LoL

 

[Calidor]

Valve y u do this

are those item icons new? or just for the holdout game mode

[ReRixo]

wow, the wraith king design is really bad. I hope valve get their good designers to work on shadow fiend...

are those item icons new? or just for the holdout game mode

special items for holdout, things like super salves and shit like that

 

[juicyb]

I hope we can still do the 5 man abandon thing. If a game is going shit, everyone just disconnects at the same time, and the game ends with no one getting an abandon.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

All of his voice work was redone

Essentially, he's an entirely new hero.

 

[Sibylus]

SK looks like a Norse God / Berserker, I love the redesign.

LC looks fuck-awesome, looking forward to playing her. And yay Merle Dandridge!

 

[Randdalf]

Man, if LC gets a bunch of duels off early game she can snowball so hard - by the end of the practice game I just played I had the equivalent of 2 free sacred relics worth of bonus damage. The default guide is still from 6.78, they really need to get on with fixing those (plus can't see how treads is better phase + drums on her).

 

[LiQuid!]

With that hair she looks exactly like my ex-girlfriend

no kidding

Tell her to call me!

 

[Emerson]

Pretty sweet update. Was really hoping we'd get some of the upcoming new game modes though (reverse draft, etc.).

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Speaking of new heroes

Phoenix

Wait...
What?

Err...

 

[SteveWinwood]

lol they waifu'd a fire bird

definitely going to get a bird patch with phoneix and winter wyvern

For those who don't know the reference, I present to you the best guide to SK.

[Shinypogs]

Whelp, I can see myself playing lot of dark seer during this event, good thing I love him so much.

 

[OldAsUrSock]

Is anyone else having problems on the Dota 2 Wraith Night page? This is what my mouse cursor is like.

[LiQuid!]

Is Phoenix going to not actually be a Phoenix in Dota 2 or what?

 

[balladofwindfishes]

what the hell

They may be making him into some kind of skywrath

 

[Arkanius]

Speaking of new heroes

Phoenix

Wait...
What?

Err...

Puck is going to have a new friend

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Nobody mentioned the fucking Lina announcer?!?!

Can't wait to hear what that one sounds like.

But yeah, this update is looking pretty awesome so far.

 

[Booty Patrol]

why is the dota 2 site always in chinese

what did I do?

 

[Boken]

i hope phoenix is a bird with a pixie/human face

 

[NBtoaster]

Seems they're not comfortable adding Brood to CM yet.

 

[Hylian7]

Why does Veno have two ward abilities? I saw on Matt's stream that Magnus had two Skewers...

 

[Skab]

Hero abilities are changed up in the new mode. They get mode specific/special stuff.

 

[Kade]

I hope she's one of these things.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

I had weeks without playing, I thought removing Skeleton King was a joke.

Guess not!
