All of these goals that they would add if we hit them should stick around after TI4 is over...
I think the Favorite Hero Challenge and the Daily Hero Challenge would be cool to have permanently, of course the daily hero one would have to be different for every player or we'd end up in a special kind of hell.

It was there last year and we would have reached it. They don't want us to have any say

I just hope those voting ones don't include every hero, I have no need of a Pudge redesign and new voice.

Those stretch goals are making my asshole hurt.
Boars tried to carry..
Weird game..
Dont ask lol
do you deny it
I don't get paid to think them up, but a few fun examples:
*the promised immortal items alter sounds, animations, or icons (i.e. follow in the footsteps of the recent pseudo-arcana sets)
*vote for next hero released
*double the droprate of items until the international
*vote for most wanted announcer pack out of a/b/c/d
None of the listed stretch goals are very exciting outside of the new model. I'd say quality > quantity, and the could easily cut out half of those boring ass goals and provide something nice at the milestones. Pretty underwhelming considering how much money has been poured into compendiums. "bu bu bu anbokr they don't owe u anything u expected too much etc..." Yeah maybe that's true, but you asked, and you shall receive.
They need to invest in servers that are actually close to these countries, back in the wc3 days everyone connected to one server from Argentina and the connection was pretty good. If they hosted a server around there you would see at least 75% less peruvians around.
distance isn't so important, that's what I was saying about routing. Peru is closer to Brazil (SA) than it is Virginia (US E), yet because of how internet cables are routed between countries in SA peruvian players will actually get a better ping on US E. That's why I said valve need to determine if it's worth the investment for the peruvian market, considering its relatively small size and (I assume) in game expenditure.

New Stretch Goal: "Fix lone druid's bugs"
Your non-ranked streak. Just do it, LC is tons of fun to blast pubs.
I have almost the exact same LC set combo.

Wow, got a Mirana and Dazzle win in a row, meaning 2 heroes off the list in an hour and a half.
Just 3 more left, Anti-Mage, Huskar and... Meepo
I might see about re-rolling, but it's so early in the compendium, might as well just wait a bit.

Go to THIS page
Has the best tourny games organized by date and even has the TI4 qualifiers
Just scroll to the bottom
The challenge will probably only be added 2 days before the actual TI event. So dont hold your breath

I think Valve wasn't planning on us actually beating the last stretch goal and scrambled to find more goals. The new ones seem to be an assortment of "easy" goals (live streaming the after party for example) or things they were planning anyway (mega creep models), and just have it moved up on the to-do list.

I have seen this set or similar quite often amongst the playerbase and I still like it. Mostly because dual swords are cooler than halberds.

most fraudulent triple kill ive seen in my lifeThanks guys, we lost that game ofc. And it was going so well...

ES is fun and good guys
Also yeah those stretch goals are mostly inconsequential. It's almost like they were added at short notice.

servers keep dying
boom, ez answers. I know valve was probably overwhelmed by the response and amount of money that made; but they still need to plan ahead.
o well.
the only reason age matters is because you will want to play all day but you can't because you probably have other commitments
your reactions at 29 won't make a big enough impact that you won't enjoy the game, dota is much more about strategy and decision making then it is twitch reactions (which is the only thing age effects)

Age doesn't matter beyond competitive levels of play.
And Artificer's Brand has not been released. You can't turn your oral courier into an unusual one.
Age matters, its one more excuse we can use if we lose a match...
Well jk aside I also think it only matters in competitive play. In the Valve documentary one of the team leaders said they only look for players that dont go beyond 25yo. Thats why most pros are around 18-22. With that said... I do get lost and miss a keyboard button from time to time

That might be what they say but I don't think it's true. A lot of the 'retire at 25' talk comes from starcraft where reactions are hugely important, but reactions don't hold anywhere near as much significance in dota. Reactions will deteriorate with age, but the extra experience and maturity can be just as, if not more important. I think over the next few years we will see plenty of pros play into their late 20s.

People were expecting dota 3 as a stretch goal.
It also further reinforces my suspicion that they have a hero update in the works, because they're not offering any goals related to that like they did last year.
