Man. Since Arc Warden is getting hinted at I wonder what they're planning with Pit Lord.
Dota 3 exclusive
Also, this wasn't the thread mentioned in this video, was it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxUJb3Fm9eI
Probably after TI at this stage, custom games will probably come along side Dota 2 getting ported to Source 2 and if I were Valve I wouldn't want my biggest marketing event of the year to be played on a new, potentially bug filled engine.
So Winter Wyvern question, those that are in test client:
With his ult, can the allies attacking the ally in the middle proc Axe's Counter Helix? I'm assuming if yes, it doesn't damage them, but would damage enemies. I await hilarious fails with this if you can actually do it.

I dont see the CM at all
Also wondering what the ult/duel/call priority. Duel is probably first, but does it beat call?
They cannot proc Counter Helix.

Does Valve just hate Pit Lord or something? lol
He's had his skills in the files, practically done, for years. We've seen concept art of him, back before TI3!
I wonder if he's going to be a Wraith King/Elder Titan-esque update and they're still figuring out what to do.
Also, the last hero added to Dota 2 from Dota will be an interesting, if not slightly bittersweet update. I imagine going forward after that, it'll be a LOT slower that we get heroes, since it won't be porting already conceptualized heroes, but inventing entirely new ones.

Zeus had that crit strike effect over his name after he was knocked off the list.
A paygate will also limit their community though which means they will be ghost towns and you wasted your money on it. Operation Payback type shit would make a lot more sense.
I think it will be similar to the operations, but with out then ever going into match making for free.

Custom games will be behind a paywall to limit the potential growth of a mod that might overtake the main game
...I wonder if anyone seriously would believe that. I imagine some crazies on the dev forums might. I wouldn't like paywalls for custom games though.

I wonder if Warden will come out before TI5 or if we'll have to wait eons between New Bloom and our next hero like we did last year.

I wonder if valve will actually take any creative freedoms and create a new hero instead of recycling heroes

Assuming they want the game to continue to live and grow, they will create new heroes over time. No reason to believe Icefrog wouldn't.
looks smaller than Phoenix.

Yea, that works for me. I don't intend to sell my stuff anyway.
Now all we need is RMAH for D3 right?!
But yeah, 30c for 10 items is pretty damn good value if it means a chance at getting a chest. I picked up 100 trash for the hell of it, getting 1 chest is pretty much breaking even for me since they're 2.79 CAD each.

Erik Johnson told IGN last year they would.

They also told some publication that viper remodel and legion commander would be out before TI3
******** is more reliable that Valve's word at this point.
When has this ever not been the case? Remember "Episode 3 should be out 6 months after Episode 2"?
Viper remodel is needed so badly though, I think now that SF is knocked out for remodel, it should be in this order:
Void (I guess because he won, but that's the only reason, as his model is fine)
Viper
Zeus
Slardar

Fuck that. Zeus looks *awful*.
Actually I forgot Zeus, put him between Viper and Slardar.
*shakes fist*
Zeus still looks better than Viper.
I always thought he had two eyes and the things between his pairs of eyes were his pupils. Then someone pointed it out to me.
I'm not sure many people noticed, but the Part 3 page mentions that there will be DOZENS of sets within the chest that they are releasing along with this event. Surely there are lots of sets in it because many community members made great sets, but this could also be a new attempt at retaining the value of each set involved. It makes sense from an economic point that it will take people a lot more money to drop each set from the chest, therefore purchasers will value their sets much more.... hopefully.
Edit: Nevermind.

Okay Viper does look like shit.
But Zeus looks like Mario, man. Compare with any Zeus model in any game or TV show ever.

Sounds similar to CSGO and the way they deal with maps.

Pay 2 Play ?
There goes my hype for custom maps, I hope its really limited and thought out well, or it will probably backfire and no one would touch custom maps. The reason I didn't buy SC2 was because they said there will be purchasable custom maps.
My friends will probably avoid it so who would I play these maps with?
That tweet implies it will be like CS:GO - Valve will host the best game modes on their servers, but you are free to play any you want on your own. Also means custom game mode creators will get paid for their work.

Oh god, I always thought he had four eyes and now I can't stop seeing two.Zeus still looks better than Viper.

If its similar to CS:GO, that means other custom games won't be hosted on Valve servers? That's a shame.
Edit: How much does the CS go stuff cost? Don't they give you valuable item drops or something that you can make more than you paid for back?
