Fragment figures have been fixed (np).
2 more then before, oh boy!
But I do like the new scaling much more. I wonder how rare that Foulfell shard will be after this event. My gut says they are going to be really easy to get in the next event, but then it doesn't make since that they are so damn hard to get right now (Unless Valve just sees them as a 'bonus')
Anyone know if putting a Wards purchased gem in a ward item works right?

I wonder how many moneys I'm going to spends on the Wraith King Favors. This first one will likely run out, but will my mood to play the mode hold out for anther 9 hours after that?
Do stat tracking gems work at all in Wraith Night?
Also, Matt, do you think the "Raving Aristocrat" 'soul gem' is going to be related to a Pit Lord cosmetic item?

Wouldn't "Raving Aristocrat" match Lycan or Skywrath more? They're both nobles in their lore aren't they? I guess Abyssal Lord is a lord.

Got a Jugg Kataginu vest from the welcome gift. I already have one so I posted the tradable one I have up on D2 Lounge. Got a few offers within a short period of time. This guy added me and without me even asking for anything, he offered me 1 uncommon and 4 commons for the vest, none of them trash. Of course I accepted the trade, no questions asked. I don't get it though. That particular set of Jugg seems to be really popular despite being not very new. Why are people so obssessed with it?

I'm wondering about the reaction time required on that one.
Also YOU SHOULD BE CONSIDERING MY BUSINESS ADVICE. Make an LC set so Dendi can wear it and so you can get lots of $$$

played some ranked today, went 2-3.
The players in every game were x10 more toxic and assholeish than usual.
like more all talk trash talking,rapid pinging and gg calls at 5 minutes
I hope it might get better when I get my MMR, but people are always going to be douchey on any ranked gamemode .

Kinda hard to see but there's a Pudge hook that grabs Storm Spirit out as soon as he snatches the Aegis.

I've got a friend whose done this. I might be able to find the game, but its been a while can't imagine the replay is still stored. I recall it happening in a pro game too and in that instance they also got the Rosh kill.

Omg the wraith king hath Risen!
Those where some fun surprises when opening them thank you valve! Now to get to level 35 and get that mythical open. Pretty cool to have a new courier,hud,announcer other items for those hero's and crafting stuff! Also bought a Bristleback item set since there so cheap now.

He sure is getting his money's worth out of that arcana.
I've been tuning in and out since the cricket's been on.
How is it strange to be winning with Earth Spirit
This. Would be odd to lose w/ him.
It's not, just a detail of this though. I thought that nerf would bring him into balance but I think he might need further nerfing.
Yeah. His ult was absurdly (hilariously) strong, let's not forget, and that wasn't touched at all. The hero was kicked down a notch, but is still plenty capable in the right hands.
Also!
I'd really like to attach this gem to my Ruby Web wings. Still haven't seen it on the Steam Marketplace either, no. I'm wondering if it's even obtainable right now.

It's funny how a [supposed] upper tier of competition - say... something like ixdl or now this new ranked MM is so similar to the very lowest trench. :lol
Where people think they're better than they are and have no respect for other players.
I think the gems come in the 25k chest from WN.
I highly doubt copper tier is 4100 when the pros are in the 5ks.
I hope they show an updated bell curve for the ranked MMRs after a few weeks so we have a better idea what these numbers mean. Obviously high = good and low = bad, but I'm really curious to know where most of the player base falls. I would be shocked if somehow 4000 is the bottom 10%.

If I ever get around to my placement matches, I'll tell you what the points for the potato bracket are.
Did the "stronger sense of purpose" bit in the update blog just refer to the training missions and the last hit training?
Wraith King's model looks awesome, but his run animation is... goofy, to put it mildly. :lol

Guys, I'm mainly a support player. What hero should I use for Wraith Night?
Just go for whatever. WR is great, if you like her. You don't need to be restricted to your one role. Most people get Maelstroms and other dps items anyway.
Omni if you want to support hardcore. All the others do some sort of psuedo carry, save for CM who nobody uses.
Also Shadow Shaman is great for the early phases and ward trapping Wraith King at the end.

Omni is really good. I played him yesterday, Repel is a lifesaver against some enemies (Leshrac, Pudge), Degen Aura is cool because it also slows the attack speed of the enemies (and the range is way bigger than in normal Dota) and his ulti can save your ass in a bad situation.
I think Wraith Night is the best custom mode they've made yet. Really fun, especially when you're a 5 stack.
I think 4000 is about 95% tbh. You have to consider that point difference is just an indication of how probable is to win. For example, 4000 may be 95%, and 4500 99%, but the point is that when you're average, is harder to win consistently. In terms of skill, between a 95% and a 99%, there's probably as much as between a 75% and a 95%. Then there's a huge difference between a 99% and a pubstar (all those over 5000 rating), and then between a pubstar to a talented pubstar or pro (see mason, 5900 rating, he's probably the top rating in the world).
Seeing in terms of percentile is misleading. If you think of real sports for example, a 95% percentile would probably play in amateur leagues, a 99% in lower leagues, and a 0.01% in Serie A or whatever the equivalent.
