She is still racist.
Oh yeah, was just using that item as a point of reference. Going to enjoy playing her a lot!
Likely not permanent for matchmaking, but it looks like its in the format Valve will use for mod once the mod tools come out.
Looks like there is going to be a filter to spectate just Wraith-Night games. Thats a thing.
Also, Valve changed Skeleton King's name in the the Mortal Strike Active tooltip, which I find a bit amusing.
Also, incase it was obvious, Solo Ranked and Party Ranked are different things and will have different ratings.
Also, there seems to be a "PLAY NOW" Button, not sure what thats going to be about.
Tool tip for custom games is set up,
In addition to the Exalted quality, there is also Frozen Quality Item and Corrupted Quality.
Legacy of the Awakened set is going to get a custom loading screen added to it.
There is going to be a dota 2 winter sale. Don't expect actual good deals.
There is a Demons Imprisoned gem. Maybe thats related to Wraith-Night?

Also Phoenix got added to CM.
And Oracle got a minor nerf.
And Oracle got a minor nerf.
So it's possible that custom game tools may be coming in the next 3 months, or maybe 6? And if so do you reckon they will release holdout permanently then as a reskin of wraith night.?
Wraith-Night actually has three difficultly rankings. Normal, Hard, and Insane.
Here is a list of all the new gems.

Dota adding masteries!?!?!?!
There is a text string for one "soul gem", the Raving Aristrocrat, but I have no clue who or what item it is for.
Matt's Hud is getting in, with both styles.
There is now a filter to push to first show all tournaments you can watch, so you don't have to go though 21 pages.
Here are all the strings related to the "presents" you get leveling up. Hopefully Valve retroactively just gives them to everyone.

Lina Announcer is $8.
If they keep the mode around permanently, I think it will stay Wraith Night.

Pretty sure shes only been added to the test client. Coming to the scrubs later today i assume
only with arcana most likely
Other heroes have had lines for her. Doesn't mean anything.
I mean antimage has had terror blade lines since day one.
Yeah, makes sense.
If only we could all forget that awful hero ever existed. Now Volvo just need to get rid of Sniper.
Drow Beret + Lion's Lobster Claw + Beastmaster Helm are sweet.
Slark in CM? Wow, I expect him to be very popular in competetive. Ult is OP.
Legion Commander, cool.

Holy shit just tried out LC in a Bot game her damage gets ridiculous if you're good at timing Duel
Since I am sure someone cares, here is a bit on how the loot dropping works for Wraith Night.
There are two types of Fragments, Phantom and Shining. With the Phantom Fragments, you can get the Wraith Night Offering (2250 fragments), which will drop Common or Uncommon Items, or the Wraith Night Offering (8000 Fragments), which will drop Rare and Mythical Items. With the Shining Fragments, you can get ether a Wraith Night Ossuary (25000 fragments), which will give an item on loot list below, or a Recipe: Wraith King's Relic, which you will take 5 "Frozen" items, and make a "Corrupted Item" from the below list. Nothing seems to make Frozen items though, so no clue where they come from.
In order to get Shining Fragments, you must have a Wraith King's Favor activated. It costs $.99, and gives 500 minutes of collection time (Like the new battle bonus)
Ossuary Items (Will have gems too):

I'm surprised no one made a new thread about this update on the gaming side.
We used to get a new thread for every update in TF2. Now that Dota's going the same 'big update' route I think we should make new threads for 'em.
This one's special because it adds ranked matchmaking, the lack of which turned a lot of Dota-curious people off.

You're one like one of those pretend hipsters aren't you
There is a thread, just gotta do some digging.
Looks like it. On the test client I got the level 1 chest which contained that BH thing, a Name Tag and the subsequent chest, which you can only open if you're the appropriate level.
Whats also nice is at the end you will be granted a Present which can be opened every 5 levels (It just produces anther copy of its self with the level requirement 5 ahead), that will contain a Rare Item or up.
See, I thought that, but it isn't set up to do that right now. Maybe when the update goes live.
You know, if they retroactively give those presents to player, item prices are going to TANK. Like me, with level 120, would instantly get 22 Rares+. Maybe they will only issue a single "Dynamic Present" to players who are a high level.
I think a lot of heroes are going to be better then people expect, since Valve went though the effort to rebalance a bunch of them a bit.
I love the delivery on this line: http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/b/b2/Wraith_ability_incarn2_05.mp3
I find it really odd that they recorded lines for Mortal Strike's Active. I guess they must of done the VA session when it was still a thing. Windranger has her current name though, so I'm just confused now as to when Valve did this VA session.

Uh, wow.
i tried dota again. i picked zeus and people got mad when i ulted. this friendly player added me after the game to clue me in on the error of my ways.
am i missing a way to disable click to move on the mini-map? the ui is just massive and i find myself inadvertently clicking on that section. it is really kind of problematic.

it's gonna take some getting used to is all.
So how do you guys play Ember Spirit? Played him for the first time yesterday, and I really liked him. Is he viable as mid or offlane?
He's pretty simple to play, and the chains + shield combo can do a lot of damage early on and scroe some easy kills
What are some good items for him?

Don't listen to that person. I am pretty sure ks'ing (kill securing) is Zeus's main job.
There's a console command 'dota_minimap_misclick_time' which you set to the number of seconds you want to wait until clicking inside the minimap works.

ignore em, its fine to KS as zeus 99% of the time.
there's a console command to change the misclick timing for the minimap, you can try adjust it. some info here http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Minimap
Could it be that the whole kill stealing thing is more of a problem in the absolute beginner's bracket? I seem to remember that people complained constantly about people stealing their kills when I started playing but at some point the complaining went almost completely away and was replaced with "a kill is a kill".

I still meet a few ranters from time to time. The worst though is when you let them try to get the last hit and the ennemy escapes.

I've seen Zeus players complain about killstealing.

Because they're either newbies who don't realize how getting kills from outside normal exp range is more net gold and exp for the team or they just want to pad their KDA.
