Can this affect dota2's directed cam? Given how ridiculous US's software patent system seems to be I hope it doesn't.

what.

I guess I'll save those tokens thingies then.

 

[Hupsel]

TA does pretty good against the beast, Refraction works well.

 

[Karakand]

Aww man this event sounds fun. Stupid tax season... I probably won't be able to play Doto until late April.

I am in the exact same situation, taxdotabro.

wow...bloom bounties are going for like $4 on the AH...

 

[Granadier]

I didn't even know it was possible to hit 2,000 last hits in a single match...and still lose.

But dat 4v5 yo.

Spoiler

and dem blademails lol

Why didn't they just build BKB's for the blademails?

Spoiler

..or does that not work?

 

[ViviOggi]

So you still can't get those recipes from evelopes where you were supposed to be able to craft full sets with beast parts?

 

[ksan]

thänx volvo for making me unbox and box legacy hotkeys 3 times every game

Has anyone even gotten beast parts?

 

[BraXzy]

A few of us Gaffers just killed the thing and got nearly 60 million damage in the end. Could have done a lot more with better planning but it seems like a pretty good score. It probably didn't count though thanks to the server going off on one.

60 million? You sure?

 

[ViviOggi]

Nah, they're not in either, you're right. I wonder if they somehow didn't get it done or are keeping it for the next beast events.

Heroes used?

 

[Kard8p3]

Jesus christ people are picking the squishiest fucking heroes and dying so much.

I was watching it. They are gonna do something with fury swipes for sure.

Ursa + Wraith King + Firecrackers = Endless damage until the timer ends

It does, Blademail deals magic damage.

 

[PillowKnight]

Well, sheepstick disappeared as I was trying to sell it, anyone ever have that happen to them?
Edit: Just got randomly added back into my inventory, that was weird.

 

[Kard8p3]

Now I understand why they are only doing it for 24 hours at a time..I don't have enough ingots for this shit.

 

[Pungza]

Got Arnabus courier from my bloom box

 

[Gully State]

So defeating the beast just means surviving for x amount of time while dealing damage? I thought he had a set amount of health.

 

[PhaZZe]

What are the prices for Bloom Bounty / Harvest / Basket?
What is Seal of vermilion Renewal?
What i need for recipe for Little Dragon?

Are you fucking kidding me? Jezus christ riot.

 

[SamVimes]

Riot is apparently patenting matchmaking and auto-moving camera while spectating games.

paging archie

edit: i guess i should refresh the page before sending messages

It does, Blademail deals magic damage.

It's pure damage but it's still blocked by bkb.

 

[BraXzy]

Is anyone interested in legit trying for the top 1% of scores? I just spectated Na'Vi's game and saw them get near to 500 million if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Drkirby]

Basket is 250, gives a random item upto rare.
Bounty is 3000, give a random item Mythical or better, can also give you items that normally are promotion only.
Harvest is 1500, has like 10+ items new to the event, they have gems in them.
Seal of Vermilion is the Key to the event chest. You can actually buy it for $2.49.
Recipe requires one Auspicious item (Something that came from the Bounty or Basket), and a specific item from the Vermilion Chest.

 

[Glix]

I need to trade an Ashtounge (or other rares) for the Coin rare for Ember Spirit

 

[Pureauthor]

Well this gamemode is pretty bad.

 

[Kard8p3]

I like the game mode, just hate how quickly it shoots through your ingots.

 

[LiQuid!]

Need 1 more for my noob stack to practice Beast killing. Any takers?

 

[Randdalf]

Ursa + Wraith King + Firecrackers = Endless damage until the timer ends

You don't need Wraith King for an even better strategy.

*taps nose knowingly*

 

[KingKong]

Maybe they should have tested this game mode so people wouldnt find the cheesiest easiest no failure strategy in an hour

 

[KScorp]

Well, I'm glad things are percentage based... most organized groups have a good shot at getting 10%, since I'm willing to bet there will be a shitton of games with players who're just playing it for fun or have no clue what they're doing, 5 random players queuing, etc.

Apparently the mode will only take about ~2.5k of your ingots per game. I used all the gold I was given, started with 4k ingots, and ended with about 1.4k after.

 

[Anbokr]

>complaint: seasonal game modes lose their appeal quickly
>valve solution: severely limit access to seasonal game mode with an arcade token AND time limit system

LOL

 

[inkls]

So turns out razor's ult doesn't work on the beast :/

aghs + refresher razor would have been nuts

 

[PillowKnight]

Just got 600 jade tokens and only bought boots. Spending gold in this mode seems like it's inefficient.

Thanks i have gotten Auspicios Baby Roshan

 

[Emerson]

Got Auspicious Form of the Onyx Grove. Loving that.

Like the morons buying 6 rapiers

ONLY?

That's like 200-300 hours of normal gameplay without boosters.

Or like $10 if you just buying straight ingots

[CaleDawkins]

I am in the exact same situation, taxdotabro.

You mean there's others that know my pain during this time of year!?

 

[ViviOggi]

I had a Genuine Recluse Reef Denizen back in the day, sold it right when Dota items were enabled on the market for 30€ or so (more than the shirt it came with). I now rebought the very same item, just with the new Auspicious tag instead of the Genuine, for 1,19€. I'LL TAKE IT

I'd be interested in doing it, although I'm in Australia, which could cause issues there.

 

[Gav47]

They really shouldn't let people with no ingots play this new mode.

 

[Hylian7]

I got all the way through it with a 5-stack, bought one of the mythical things, and all I got was a Trine Mega Kills Announcer :/

I didn't mean to imply it's not a lot, just that it's not going to take more than that.
