I actually think that's the best set of the bunch. The guy that made this has had a thread on polycount for awhile (way before Dazzle's model remake) and I thought it was already in the game. Valve's shop previews never do any of the cosmetics justice imo. They're all noticeably lower quality for some reason and I have no idea why, it makes everything on the store look ugly and bad when I've seen from polycount that that's usually not the case. I didn't even realize it was the same set until I looked at it more closely.

I assume its people not buying individual items or sets in the store

I felt the same, then I looked at them. The only thin I like from those sets are the hats. They can keep the rest of the parts.

I was hyped for the Lina hat only. The baggy dress is not hanbok-like at all
The prices for individual items was not very kind.
The hair/icing doesn't seem attached to the head properly.
It makes sense though. So often you'd see the one piece of the set that was actually distinguishable cost 90% of the entire set price if you bought it on its own.

Also at this point if anyone actually wants the individual set pieces they're going to get it from the Market for like a tenth of what the Dota 2 Store price was.

I think valve understands the metrics for the impulse buying nature of people.
I think the upgrades are color changes

How odd to ship old Korean sets right before a huge Chinese themed update. Kind of seems like a confusing mix of themes, like this update would appear to be a taste of the Chinese update, but they're not, both those sets were submitted for the Nexon contest.

we can't all have good taste!

I don't think this was on any sort of schedule as opposed to 'Oh, we might as well prep some of these sets we accepted and put them on the store.'
Nope, a lot of luna sets are great. Maybe it's a taste thing, but the ones I've seen I've liked.

I don't know what you're talking about, every team needs 3 carries and 2 mids.
he's so awesome with drums too because eventually your attack speed will reach godly levels

the lack of sleep for all this dota2 is slowly getting to me *eyetwitch*
Just played him back to back, once as support, once as carry. First time playing a really hard carry and building a midas (I pretty much always play support or Jugg, so I never build midas). God it is so much fun to pop BKB and just wade in destroying everyone. I could get used to this. I know this isn't an original observation but this hero is going to get nerf'd so hard.

For some reason, there's been quite a few abandonments in my ranked games lately. And after some nice solo ranked games in the early days of RMM, the quality of people I've been playing with seems to have gone down quite a bit from those days. I'm not referring to skill but more of their overall attitude to their teammates.

DotaGaf my friends list is lacking. I'm real bad but trying to learn. Anyone interested in running through some fun lane combos, even if its with bots? I wouldn't mind switching back and forth between support and carry.
My Steam handle is whiskeystrike (I have a Solid Snake avatar). Also, if someone could invite me to the Steam Gaf group that would be pretty sweet as well.

Oh hey, some neon pink paint has dripped off of TF2 into Dota 2.

Started playing Tusk lately for the first time and I'm absolutely loving him. He may be my new favorite hero.

That's beautiful. I have to get this set now.
Looking at the workshop page, I just realize that Valve didn't release the coolest looking item from the Witch Hunter set, the eyepatch. Damn it Valve!
Instead we got the crummy mask:
Its purple Ned, Purple.
Also, looking at the Item Schema, I think valve nipped what could have been a major economy exploit ahead of time/early on. They not to long ago made it so you could click on something and be brought right to the checkout for the item (Like the Wraith King Favor or "buy this key" in chests, one click and you were brought right to a prompt to authorize the transaction). Some speculation said you could easily edit which item was tied to a button, and make it allow you to buy anything that had a price, a notable item would have been the Alpine Ursa set. Now every item that has been removed from the store has had its price set to zero and an extra flag saying its not being sold anymore tossed on.
Oh, and the Iceforged set has been added to the Schma.
just had a game with bristle, such a fun hero

seriously just so fun to run throught the enemy team doing crazy damage and taking minimal. I didn't play very well though, my only death was retarded.

Just friended you. I'm done for the night, but we can game sometime soon. I'm still in cardboard tier matches and learning stuff too
17 mins in, Bloodseeker is rushing Radiance, team is all carries, no courier.
I must have dropped to shit tier for AP.
How do you build support Alch?

I'm no pro and I fed a bit at the beginning, but I went basi, treads, mek. I think soul ring is sorta standard for infinite stuns with your ult. Once you have that core you can get some points in greevil and just start going all aura (Drums, AC). I am still a noob with him though.
That has nothing on my 40-50 min ranked match where my two carries didnt buy a bkb against a lina, luna and sandking. I'm sure there was even more magic damage but can't remember.
I had one game where a Luna rushed a butterfly and kept dying to a disrupter ult combo. She left the items of the BF in her stash for 20 mins because she couldn't actually finish the "rushed" BF.
Dota is hard.

The most basic things are so damn hard.
I like how after he bitched out your Radiance Naga, he gave it a go himself. A couple of times. And lost. What a player.
Tuning in~
