Barny is streaming again:

Highly recommend checking him out for super informative and commentary laden gameplay.
The stream can get a little NAbrasive sometimes, but he's generally a calm and mannered dude.

I gotta admit, that Sword doesn't look done at all. But hell, it seems what makes an Arcana an Arcana is a bunch of fancy effects. Like if you strip out the special effects, the LC Arcana is just a double sword model (I still don't think the duel swords shouldn't be exclusive to the Arcana ether, but maybe some day down the line Valve will open it up)

I like how vikingy it is but that sword is dreadfully bad.
Actually, for both the sets, one item in the set is Arcana, and the rest are rated Legendary. I personally wish the Techies Arcana had the effects spread out a bit. Like the custom Hero Icons should be on the hat for example.

Also, more evidence that there may be more stuff to come with this update, the Private Beta Client is still being updated: http://steamdb.info/app/247040/history/
Pyrion, when are you going to commission a custom Wraith King/Lich Set?

Welcome Pyrion.
Does it mess with you to play and have your announcer pack on at the same time?
Does this mean they're working over the weekend?

Well, that will certainly bulk out the number of legendaries in the drop system
Thats just the base model though
It probably has particles and shit all over it to make it look nice
He said somewhere that he hates it lol
Yep, though they won't enter into the system for what, a month? But still, Techies alone will add 4, and I bet Kunkka will be at 3, if not all 5 extra items (Though making the boots or Gauntlets Legendary seems a bit silly)
Personally, I would like Valve to make the Kunnka Hat the Arcana, since he has a ton of fancy swords and will likely continue to get fancy swords.

Am I there? I can't tell. Where are you in the picture even?
Also, I made a chart. This will let you know how much damage you will do if the enemy has base magic resistance with Suicide Attack:

Arcanas have always been added to the system day 1
Arcanas are, but not Legendaries, and only 1 part of the set is Arcana.
It become a Viking boat, Matt has pictures.

I suppose it was only a matter of time before Valve watered down Arcanas to the point of just being fancy legendaries. A major aspect of Arcanas was that they changed the hero's base skin, but these ones don't seem to do that and are just legendary items with a higher price tag.
I guess I should have saw it coming after what happened to Immortals.

Why didn't they just make the Kunnka Divine Anchor set the Arcana? It's so much better than ... this.

I'm not sure I remember correctly but I think another set wanted to do the dual swords and people complained.
Hi Pyrion.
Don't think you are in this. This was day 1 game 1. I think you were sitting on the left side at this point.
I was so tired due to being up around 24 hours already at this point but man was it fun. Can't wait for next year.
Anuxi made a Duel Sword version for her set, I don't think anyone else has bothered yet.
Reposting for best Dota stream. Highly recommended. Heavy Commentary™.
Also I think he has 20+ chat wheel commands bound to keys and largely memorized, you have to respect that.

Oh my, remote mines give vision inside the rosh pit. That's pretty crazy.
Thinking about items that fit well with Techies. He really needs mana early, because each skill is very expensive. I'm thinking either Mana Boots outright or even better, Ring of Sacrifice + Tranquil Boots allowing him to roam more. Force staff as an escape mechanism. Otherwise... wards and utility/team items mostly, like urn or ring of aquila or pipe or something.
This is probably old hat (and wrong) to the Dota 1 veterans here, but for me he's new and exciting.
Thinking about new heroes is fun!

I was wondering this as well. I'm guessing it's visible but that's actually gameplay altering which is interesting.
I don't know, the sign doesn't do anything. Sure, you could put it some place to get a person to freak, but I'm sure most people will just ignore the silly sign.
I want a Riki Arcana and a "Riki Was Here" sign.
Witch Doctor and Void never fails. Especially when they constantly "gank" your lane resulting in a very fed Void.

I disagree, I think you could actually play some mind games with it by actually putting mines around it as most people will assume it's fake.
Not saying it's gonna be effective very often, but it's still a cosmetic item which introduces something new into the actual game map which MIGHT influence an opponent's thinking. That's a pretty big deal IMO.

Right, and do that once and cause enemy to use a sentry, you've already got a cosmetic which has given you an actual game advantage (though small).

It's a shame they can't animate them. I know some artists could really do a number with a really elegant pose or some nifty eastereggs
This is going to confuse the hell out of low tier.
