So for 25 euros, you get level to 50 and have 4/2/1 treasures of the respective kind.
And for 50 additional euros, you get to level 180 and have 8 treasures of each kind, plus the Enigma goldhole.
And what does that mean? The first two treasures have 8 items, but the last one has 9, so to get everything, one would have to either get to level 210 or buy the missing rare immortal (treasure III) on the market.

Well it's more like each treasure has 6 but the third has 7. "bonus items" don't really count since you can't be sure you'll get them anyway

I don't even play Enigma, and I must have that gold black hole

It distracts me from playing perfectly and it looks like a courier.
That's at least most of the complaint from leddit.

Reddit is whining like the children they are again
HOWEVER
I do 1000% agree that there should be options for turning cosmetics on and off
- NONE
- ME ONLY
- EVERYONE
This needs to be implemented soon. Especially since the pro scene is still growing at a massive rate. Forcing all hats off in tournament games would be a really nice addition imo
(aka watch on Twitch - no hats, buy a ticket and watch in client - your choice)

All cosmetics: No, this can't ever happen and won't happen
Custom particles/Pets/animations: This could potentially happen with enough outcry
There will never be a no cosmetics option, ever, in Dota 2. It's not going to happen and anyone who realistically wants any sort of control over the visual clutter of Dota should avoid even bringing it into the argument.

This is going to sound noob as hell but I don't care.
I bought the compendium (1st time I bought something for dota but I felt i owed something in return after 2k hours played) and I have the following question:
- How do you earn points?
- What's the use of coins besides buying items or sets?
- That prediction charm is gone forever if I fail 2 predictions correct?

inb4 workshop contributors start making pets to prop up mediocre sets
While I can agree that in normal pubs it wont be implemented (the entire games income is based on hats), in major tournament games (TI/Dreamleague/The Summit/Starladder) items should be turned off
It makes the scene more uniform and professional
I know it will never happen cause hats are serious business to Valve, but it would be nice

Any set/item that big time players use become popular. Look at Dendi's dragon claw hook and how iconic that became as associated with him.

I have a better chance marrying Shakira than ehug and complexity do at getting direct invites.
This is mine, but like I said - a bit Europe centric. I also don't think NiP will really make it, but I like the name

I wonder how long before they start selling Winter, Diretide and New Bloom map skins.
I'd get the Winter one.
Also more proof PL is just Son Wukong, here's some new concept art

PL will forever be Kimahri. Sorry broski.
Navi as well
Maybe being TI1 winners they will get a direct invite but they still suck dick compared to TI3 Navi

Also how can they make this awesome concept art and then end up with a big green watermelon with solid colored tentacle things rising up?
This Tide art is amazing. Those ravages look great and I love Tide with that scaley cape and the seaweed crusted anchor.

That's the only reason they have a chance for a direct invite, but that's still one more reason than ehug and complexity.
I guess they have to worry about stuff like making each hero unique enough to stand out and be instantly recognizable as well as sticking to texture size limits

summit 4 will have 3 chests with 5 pets each
Still saved 3 bucks!
Treelephant is still the best
To be fair i can only imagine how insanely expensive organizing a TI is
Flights and accommodation for 100+ people plus the rental of the arena + all the sound and lighting shit
Must be in the millions

I have a hard time seeing this hitting 15 million. The battle booster was huge last year, there's nothing to really replace that, coins don't seem particularly interesting, especially for people who spend more money on Dota, but don't have a lot of time to do challenges (like me).
Never disparage the fact that this community has more money than sense.
Hype is the only battle booster you need.

Nothing, but the prize pool seems to be moving pretty slowly right now and there's not too many "whale" incentives.

TI isn't until August. I think the prize pool will hit 20 mil.

Compendium challenges encourage people to do dumb shit (more so than usual).
Deny 2 towers = don't bother defending, just let creeps take the tower so you can deny.

Yeah
They know their audience
The earlier the compendium releases the faster and larger the pool grows
Im sure Matt will update his site with the prizepool tracker if he hasnt already
EDIT: Its up
Valves side must be bugging out cause its flatlined for the last 5 hours
i mean, i found out the compendium was released in the metro on my way to work
i rushed to my office computer like a maniac to log in and buy the thing
the guy already here saw the state of me and was like "turning in something on a deadline eh?"
it's not like they're in limited quantities
i'm a grown ass man

Hey, me too.
Although I can't look at it at work because they block most gaming related sites.
Do you get anything from the more expensive compendium that you wouldn't otherwise by leveling up?
That sucks dude.
I feel lucky to work in an office where the IT people aren't complete psychos about blocking everything...not least because I'm pretty sure they're engaging in the same shenanigans.
Also, most of the time I bring in my laptop anyway, and just do everything through the Steam client.
you can use translate.google.com to bypass any block

At least you still have to win the game so it's not as bad as it could've been, most of the objectives are positive.

I hope the data starts flowing again soon, I want to put together neato comparisons with last year's data.
http://dota2.prizetrac.kr/international2015 - I added stretch goal tracking, the hourly graph is running and more comparison data will come tomorrow.
