Fucking bullshit that the chest isn't out. No items except arcana + techies box.

I like the Arcana a lot better if you activate just the Arcana cart and maybe the custom mines and stuff. Don't really care for the pig armor for the goblins. Really not sure what made them decide to go with a pig theme for this set.

We Angry Birds now

challenge accepted

I can't play much Dota for now so might as well try it too if you want.

cool, how do you guys want to do it? Pm? Dota2drafts website?

 

[rakkadakka]

Best part about this patch is that techies are going to cover my all hero challenge picks.

 

[Glass Shark]

I don't see any of the TI4 Compendium stuff yet. I wonder how that will be delivered.

 

[SteveWinwood]

People talking about hiding in captains mode. I think techies will be added to cm pretty quickly, they don't seem very controversial as cm heroes, although ice frog moves at glacial pace adding new cm heroes.

im hiding in ar

 

[JawesomeJaw]

Should someone make a Techies thread over in gaming? Seems like it might warrant a thread.

Also the plain wood barrel is way better than the mine for Spoon. The Arcana making him walk around on his own is super cool.

 

[BigAT]

Didn't someone (Matt?) say the BTS HUD was going to be included in this patch?

I was wondering why it didn't exist yet.

 

[DarkKyo]

Where is the new music? I thought the blog said it was this update.

 

[BoosterDuck]

COME AT ME I DON'T EVEN CARE

that's more than half of a The Evil Within purchase

 

[Deadstar]

COME AT ME I DON'T EVEN CARE

My man!

 

[Artanisix]

wheres my music
and multikill banner

and my its in the bag

fuk u valve

 

[bbd23]

ALL I WANTED WAS MY "ITS IN THE BAG" TAUNTS

VALVE U MONSTERS

 

[Wok]

WHAT... DO WE REALLY HAVE TECHIES... How come my client did not warn me?

Edit: I told you Thursday is the day for patches to the main client.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

When valve has to give everyone an item it usually takes a couple of hours for them to distribute them because it's a huge load on the item server

Test client on Wednesday, main client on Thursday. That's how it's always been right...

I dunno why people keep saying shit like this because the last year or so has done nothing but disprove any and all speculations about there being a "patch day." Test and main client patches have come pretty much any time.

ive seen a lot of people talk about this was the moment they were going to come back

there's like 2 or 3 in the league thread alone

 

[Ketch]

So the mines give vision? man. I really want to play this hero now.

 

[Emerson]

I didn't realize the "fireworks" part of the particles for the mine explosions was the Arcana. Worth the purchase in and of itself. Those explosions are way better than the base particles.

 

[sephi22]

Where's the other shit?
I want my hats and my compendium shit

 

[pompidu]

Never played dota1, I'm gonna hate techies aren't I?

 

[BHK3]

Test client on Wednesday, main client on Thursday. That's how it's always been right...

Hasn't been like that in maybe 2 years almost? Always been any days of the week.

 

[Zeth]

New Batrider Tinker-bat is awesome.

Hoping the items are released later today/this week

edit: oh shit, some bundles are up, like that awesome Ember Spirit.

wheres that sweet doom set

Yeah there were so many I was hoping for. Matt is doing some on stream now.

 

[bbd23]

wheres that sweet doom set

 

[Deadman]

When is Diretide coming out

 

[Calidor]

so it's finally out?! can anyone confirm if Techies is on CM?

 

[Acinixys]

Wow

You can activate mines even while dead

Talk about fucking annoying

 

[Artanisix]

so it's finally out?! can anyone confirm if Techies is on CM?

he's not, sadly

 

[Zoon]

Ok first time that my client crashes after I tried to spectate a game.I think techies exploded my client.

Fatal assert failed: e:\buildslave\dota_rel_win32\build\src\public\studio.cpp, line 2112. Application exiting.

 

[Razzer]

1.09's keyboard is giving me serious ASMR right now. So soothing.

I had the same issue once.

Broken game.

[Prophet Steve]

Yup, first game, enemy picks Techies, I pick Zeus, supports suddenly learned the magic of sentries with the start of the game, Techies instantly gives up first blood by laying mines at the runes.

Start of a new era.

EDIT: Also, don't pick five squishy heroes against Zeus.

 

[StarlordDial]

soooooooo i bought all 3...


hmmmm just need those doom and spec set

 

[Glass Shark]

Weird... in the loadout screen, where it normally listed sets, it lists some individual items, and gives links to buy them in the community market. It didn't always do this, right?

 

[Deadstar]

It was a joke. I know it hasn't been like that for years.

Not my best hero.

[moggio]

Just played my first PT (Post Techies) game and thought it was good fun possibly because we wrecked his stupid goblin faces. The game seemed to be more dynamic than usual and our team worked in harmony against the Techies onslaught! Seems like if you have some good supports he becomes a bit of an irrelevance.

 

[JustinBB7]

I just got 3 thropies, think I should have more though.

Also my heroes for the challenge are DK and Viper first. Thought it was bugged because that's what Matt posted in the preview too I think and I had those in test as well. Might just be coincidence..

I just want to spam ":copper: tier" in games

 

[StarlordDial]

i just noticed..where are the new music packs..shouts, taunts and etc?

 

[sixghost]

Do you want to save for an early gem when playing against techies? Constantly buying sentries seems like a hug drain on the supports.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

These new emoticons are really nice

Also this cart looks soooooo good without using the rest of the items. The pig theme is kind of weird.
Also if anyone cares only the Arcana is exalted quality.

 

[Emerson]

Yep, only way to go really.

 

[Kioshen]

cool, how do you guys want to do it? Pm? Dota2drafts website?

The website looks good since it forces a time limit and replicates the overall structure. In any case, I'll follow your lead.

 

[JustinBB7]

New update already, 19.2mb

Better be items!
