My absolute favorite thing about reddit is how many people love to state shit authoritatively when they have no reason to do so. E.G. this in the thread about the latest test update:

This means the actual update to the main client won't be till Thursday or later.

Believe we've had test updates and main client updates on the same day before. Quite frequently too.

Exactly my point.

Best games from the last few days guys? NaVi vs. Alliance Game 2 I believe, anything else?

 

[Kade]

The stuff in this update seems like pretty easy stuff to implement to me. Now I have no coding knowledge at all.

Then shut the fuck up you idiot piece of shit.

If you need to end something with "Now I don't have experience or authority to make the claim I made prior to this statement" you should keep your mouth shut.

Patch update #3, get hype:

http://dev.dota2.com/showthread.php?t=144918

quick ballad make another reddit suggesion.

Icefrog is listening.

 

[Gav47]

- Minefield Sign is now an ability on techies (Arcana will receive a new cosmetic item for this ability)

Wow, techies now viable in competitive play, just think of the mind games

 

[Randdalf]

balladofwindfishes is to Dota 2 what ned_ballad is to TF2

...

wait

 

[Artanisix]

ballad recommended they flat out remove the sign

just sayin'

 

[Fmal]

Did anything ever happen with the A-Z challenge thing listing 109 heroes (suggesting that we're getting Techies+someone else) or was that just baloney?

They fixed it to show 108. I think the issue is that in the npc_heroes file oracle was still set to "enabled".

Also, here is chart I made. Each dot show how many updates to the privated beta happen that day (Which had at least 1 update), the dots on the left are the newest days (So it goes from most recent to oldest). Icefrog started pushing private beta patches on July 23rd, right after TI4, and it has been tested for a period 41 days over 84 updates.

Between 6.81 and 6.81b, there was 51 updates over a 49 day period.
Between 6.80 and 6.81, there was 106 updates over a 64 day period.
Between V6.79b and 6.80 there was 54 updates over a 20 day period.

P.S. Good job for making the thread title say "Dota 2" instead of "DOTA 2"

Our long national nightmare is over

Don't you capitalize each letter of an acronym?

 

[Chris R]

How do mines work when the skill level is increased? IE place 4 level 1 mines, then skill it up to level 3 before they explode, am I doing 1200 damage or 2000 damage (before reduction of course)?

 

[Razzer]

Valve actually scrapped Defense of the Ancients, it's just Dota now.

I would have gifted you the Arcana man, now you've devalued it and delayed the patch.

Valvo where are my Dota 2 action figures?

 

[Haly]

Where's my Drow Ranger nendoroid?

League has nendos, I demand nendos.

 

[Jay Shadow]

Now if they'd just swap the sign ability around so it doesn't take up the former detonate button...cause there's a bit of a difference.

Odd, this post implies Rubick can steal sign, but I thought another bug fix said you couldn't?

Sign is a Techies Buff?

edit: Oh, you get the sign if you steal any Techies ability that isn't his ult. I for one like this.

Skarner ain't no waifu.

Barrrrrrrrf.

Tiny is cute though, I wish I picked up a Tiny.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Couldn't they just make a new sign at a later date and give it too everyone who bought the arcana? Why delay the update?

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Seems like precisely the excuse they needed to have a bit more time to finish the patch off.

this a terrible chart nothing is labeled

i would fail you if you turned this in

 

[Razzer]

I think he's saying if you steal mines or stasis mines then you get it as a sub ability. I might be totally wrong.

I though there were similar figures to that comign from China for a few heroes.

CM, Lina, Kunkka Tide and Void?

I need a 5000 word Reddit post with hard evidence in bullet points to be convinced.

Otherwise it's more Valve BS.

when you are searching with a party, why does another member in the party pop up when you hit look for game?

 

[Drkirby]

Matt, do you know if any of those LoL conversion projects are actually tackling the abilities or items issues yet? So far I have seen nothing but custom maps and a few imported models.

 

[kvk1]

You would say that.

Right now its pretty useless

Who cares about K/D really

Why cant it show wards bought/placed and stuff that actually matters
