Beastmaster is literal junk.

 

[Madouu]

Beastmaster can be played as a fuck my team I'll carry this game alone in shit brackets or vs unwary opponents, but once you go up you'll have to coordinate with your team. You need to be a good beastmaster player and have at least one good player with you that can make use of the crazy vision he provides to enjoy some good success.

He is one of the best heroes in the game in my opinion, certainly one of the most fun and well designed. The hate is unwarranted.

The current item drop system doesn't function well as a reward mechanism. It drops many items on players who aren't interested in them (the items are extremely common, or they're for a hero the player doesn't play), and in the process dilutes the value of the items. We'd like to get to a place where dramatically fewer uninteresting items enter the economy. We don't have a complete solution yet, so we're going to move forward step by step, taking feedback from you as we go.

- Item drops are now entirely time based instead of level based.
Drop list now includes full sets, treasures, bundles and Arcanas at a rare rate instead of frequently dropping common items
- Battle boosters have been removed from the game entirely (we actually removed them from the store in September).
Players with an active battle booster will receive a free Treasure of the Rotted Gallows.
Players who had an unused purchased battle booster in their armory will receive a free Treasure Redemption Token.

- A new treasure, the "Treasure of the Rotted Gallows" has been added to the game.
Treasure Redemption Tokens and other items that can be redeemed for treasures can select this new treasure.
International 2013 Treasure Keys may now be redeemed for treasures.
The items in this treasure can be traded/marketed in 3 months (February 1, 2015).
The rare rewards from this treasure are not subject to the trade or marketing restriction.

Bug fixes:
- Fixed custom Pudge chains not appearing on both sides.
- Fixed unusual Greevils not having their particle effects.
- Fixed alternate hero icons not showing consistently in the UI
- Buyback button now only accepts left clicks.

Is the Dota Cinema ticket in the patch?

yus

but I think the link is busted, like the chest

 

[Big Dog]

I'm impressed with new chest items being non tradeable until 3 months from when they come out. Seems like a nice way to hold some value on the items involved. But the rare items in each chest aren't held by this restriction. Makes pretty good sense to me. Hopefully they can lift up the market one little step at a time.

That's the way it used to be like way back when in the early days of the trading and whatnot.

Ok cool. Glad to see they switched back to it then. Because items in this game are mostly worthless which we all knew. Cool to know entire sets will drop now. Much more exciting.

 

[bbd23]

update is live

restart those clients boys

 

[Gav47]

Wow, should have sold my Battle point boosters, my 500% one was worth €30 now I get a €3 token in replacement, which is less than the €5 I paid for it. Th-thanks volvo

Definitely picking this up tomorrow, so hyped for the tournament

 

[Sibylus]

Revampled drop system confirmed :Kreygasm

Lol I know how you feel

 

[bbd23]

Drow Set
Riki Set
Clockwerk Set

FUCK U VALVE

 

[Glass Shark]

THIS JUGG SET

Weird that they're restricting marketing of the new chest items for a few months. Has that ever been done before?

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I can't just buy the Treant set on the market??

So I went from spending some money to spending no money, good job Valve.

 

[SteveWinwood]

what on earth is this horse emote rofl

im gonna spam that so hard

That's what they all say hours before they cave and buy six chests.

 

[Sigismundo]

TL.

 

[Glass Shark]

Yesterday the last cosmetic I would have wanted was another DP set.

But that bat ult. THE BATS.

 

[shira]

I bought a bunch of 50 cent point boosters, I hope those get turned into treasures.

 

[bbd23]

okay i take it back riki set looks nice

fuck drow though

 

[call_kotaku]

Wait so what does the new drop system actually do?

 

[Indignate]

What an ingenious way to make me want to spend money gambling instead of buying things piecemeal.

I mean, I won't, but I'm sure other people will.

 

[BoosterDuck]

Does this game have a watercolor filter? No? ok I'll be playing Valkyria Chronicles.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

That's what they all say hours before they cave and buy six chests.

I bought 3 and the dota cinema ticket

No treant set

 

[Sanjay]

 

[Randdalf]

People found stuff in the latest TF2 update which implied they're adding competitive matchmaking. Dota had a good run, I'll be off to boost my MMR in TF2, a game which (I think) I'm much better at.

Spoiler

I'll just end up playing more Dota instead

 

[Drkirby]

So Valve added back in the time restricted stuff. I really liked the no time restrictions. I do think the rest is nice, I hope they move to add more single item chests in the future and have them drop.

 

[Artanisix]

bought 2 and no treant set

sigh

guess im waiting til february

 

[Drkirby]

It looks like the DC Captains Draft Tournament was going to have a chest, but the idea must have fallen though.

 

[Kard8p3]

W2T riki lion n drow set for treant

 

[NBtoaster]

So I assume that when you get a treasure drop, you don't need to buy a key for it?

 

[Drkirby]

Nope, no Key.

I wonder when we are going to get our Treasure Token for the Star Ladder Battle Bonus that never was.

This is so dumb.

And this chest is so mediogre. I think people are just going to not buy the chest item not now, not in February 2015.

 

[Hazaro]

I'm no rare hat collector or anything but I guess my two winter super boost things that were worth $30(?) are now just $2.50 keys?

Okay...

 

[Kade]

Yo how do I play Magnus?
