The pick screen might be a bit too minimalistic for my tastes, very clean though, which is good.

 

[Drkirby]

Oh yeah, got this Mythical Kunnka Bottle my first box.

Why the fuck is the bottle Mythical.

Edit: Oh wowy gee, it modified my rare idle animation. Amazing.

 

[SteveWinwood]

I find it ammusing his particles actually leak in the UI.

The best part is whenever they get picked in selection or just to customize they do their spawning animation with a little sound effect now. It's a cool little touch.

 

[Marauder Shields]

Hmmm new UI looks sweet.

 

[Arcticfox]

I really like the ability to zoom out while spectating. You can see a lot more at once now.

.

What is the item in the top right of the hourglass chest?

And why is the Kunkka's rum item not in the Sunken Maiden chest?

Love that Clock mask though.

A few shots of the new hero picker. Very nice!

 

[SteveWinwood]

THIS IS WHAT I WAS WONDERING ABOUT OH MY GOD EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED

 

[bbd23]

the game has changed.

 

[Randdalf]

The picking UI is not consistent in style with the default HUD (i.e. it's fancier), volvo pls fix game literally unplayable.

They added better shadows for player names too, which is great, as certain colours blended in with the map too easily.

 

[Kard8p3]

cant find the favorite hero thing though, where is it located?

 

[Atlantis]

Scribbins HHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGNNNNN

 

[Randdalf]

New picking screen also displays the time creeps spawn at and your current gold.

 

[Manus]

Is it me or does the heroes look better in the client?

 

[Lotto]

New UI update stuff is hot.

 

[Kade]

I miss the trading card motif but the other changes are cool.

 

[Indignate]

For someone who is still learning heroes, it was nice to see the recommend roles for heroes on their cards so I can check what my teammates are rolling and see what we need.

So is that completely gone? I did edit my hero picker screen and group heroes together so it's not that much of a loss.

 

[Drkirby]

Looks like the Pudgling courier could be unusual, though right now it has the TI2 effects tied to it right now.

1v1 rules:

- Enemy cannot see your selection until they've made theirs
- Each player gets a free courier
- First rune does not spawn
- You can voice chat with your opponent
- Coaches are allowed
- You can forfeit by typing 'gg'

It'll probably count in your client record but I wonder if dotabuff/dotamax will track your stats in 1v1.

Check Doom out. Some of the tall heroes really stick out of the top. Looks awesome.

Bounch, your items are great - shame they suprised you with their implementation. Typical Valve communication, lol.

Hope I get that Disruptor helm from the GEST ticket soon.

edit: when loading up the Brew preview, beer just pours out of his mouth for like 3 seconds. Love it.

 

[Thermite]

The fuck?

 

[SteveWinwood]

These are different too:

The fuck?

Spectators can now do that. It's gonna be awesome.

 

[Hylian7]

The fuck?

Only works while spectating, scroll down on the mousewheel.

 

[FACE]

A few shots of the new hero picker. Very nice!

They don't show hero roles anymore? Literally League of Legends.

 

[Quesa]

Can't wait to see the new CM pick/ban interfaces for players and spectators.

 

[Archie]

Oh god the new hero selection screen looks like something out of Mortal Kombat.

[bounchfx]

I like a lot of the updates are awesome, can't wait to see some matches with the new view distance, the new loadout is gorgeous.

 

[Ties]

the new ui is gorgeous don't h8

 

[Baha]

While I liked the idea behind the player cards for heroes, the roles weren't always accurate and some of the icons didn't even work if you moused over them. New loadout is pretty damn slick and loads fast.

 

[Atlantis]

They still haven't fixed Lina's sleeves, lol.

 

[Shengar]

Spectators can now do that. It's gonna be awesome.

I'm mad at Volvo for silently sapping my bandwidth while I was browsing, but now I'm pleased.

 

[Drkirby]

Some things in the portrait files:
'Centipede' ward for Venomancer
'Ahmhedoq' golem for Warlock
Cadenza Spirit for Invoker
Geodesic Eidolon for Enigma
Tangki Serpent Ward for Shadow Shaman
Two more wards, Enchanted Vision and Stone Bound

 

[Exuro]

These are different too:

Oddly enough those icons annoyed me with how out of place they looked. Glad to see they're getting changed.

They're gonna have to throw uprezzed textures on most of the heroes now with the closer up models.

 

[BigAT]

Is Brewmaster supposed to, uh...leak like this?

 

[bounchfx]

ITS NOT A BUG ITS A FEATURE

 

[Acinixys]

Really hope this is some sort of WIP cause this looks 100% retarded and shit 0/10 would not buy another compendium

 

[BigAT]

Haha, is that your cask?

 

[Conceptor]

WHAT HAPPENED TO MY DOTA

 

[Razzer]

1v1 rules:

- You can pick any hero including duplicates
- Enemy cannot see your selection until they've made theirs
- Each player gets a free courier
- First rune does not spawn
- You can voice chat with your opponent
- Coaches are allowed
- You can forfeit by typing 'gg'

You can trash talk with voice chat. That's amazing.

 

[Ties]

Well I'm certainly pleased that I didn't bother investing for a quick courier. When the compendium promised a Pudge courier I thought it would be the Pudge bulldog or something similar - guess not :/

 

[RS4-]

what the fuck, why did relic sword prices jump

 

[Conceptor]

DOTAGAF 1v1 MID TOURNY?

 

[Zeth]

what the fuck, why did relic sword prices jump

Rare --> Mythical

 

[Drkirby]

There are a ton of icons in the game files for new item. That EG Naga set, some players Nyx Set, The Artisan of Havoc Clockwork set I liked a lot, a Gold Pudge Hook, random parts of that Divine Anchor Set. Matts going to have his work cut out for him tonight.

Also, Valve needs to make it faster to find 1v1 matches. It should not take so long to find a match.

 

[Baha]

No longer rare, now mythical. Plus new model I think.

 

[RS4-]

Lol...feels bad when I sold mine for under a buck back then

11 mins for a pub match and still waiting. People are probably still updating.

 

[Pratfall]

Can't seem to get the spectator zoom out to work. Mouse wheel is my zoom in game, is there another option I'm nto seeing?
