ok can someone explain how to join/play this bloom event?

I tried to join last night but the servers crapped out on me and I went to sleep.

Edit: WTH..I'm clicking on Year Beast Brawl and it won't let me join. Is this like a group only thing?

 

[Deadly]

servers are dead....AGAIN

 

[PhaZZe]

servers #dead

 

[Indignate]

I just want to win sets.

Please valve.

 

[Demoli]

Remeber to Pre-Order the arcanas guys, we only have the good of the game in our mind, promise.

[Pureauthor]

I am no longer surprised

 

[ashecitism]

According to Steam Charts it went over 1m.

Steam's stats have been bugged for days now.

 

[liezryou]

Best event I have ever seen, great job valve.

 

[Visualante2]

It's like foreplay for 10 minutes and you don't even get to climax.

 

[G.ZZZ]

I can't search ranked, wtf is this.

 

[J2d]

Pls let me play Valve..

Edit: thank you!

 

[Indignate]

Said we can queue for 3 and a half hours and then went down to 8 minutes.

Make up your mind please.

 

[Darklord]

Decide to play after a several months break and the servers are down. Yep, still dota 2.

 

[Shorty11857]

This the first time we've broken 1m concurrents?

 

[BraXzy]

Ooh new thread. Not had chance to play Year Beast yet.. is it any good? I'm probably never going to actually catch it though -.-

 

[ashecitism]

This the first time we've broken 1m concurrents?

Yes.

 

[Wok]

I win all my year beast games. The last one was crazy, with people going in a base race around minute 10.

Look what I own now: a goat.

 

[Tieske]

I can't search ranked, wtf is this.

wait that beast stuff actually prevents you from queueing anything else?

wow

 

[balladofwindfishes]

wait that beast stuff actually prevents you from queueing anything else?

wow

In unranked, it entirely replaces All Pick

 

[Darklord]

Is there somewhere I can view previous major patch changes? I haven't played in a few months and I want to see what's been changed with the characters I play.

Go look at the bottom of the wiki page of the heroes you play.

I thought it was pretty funny.

wow

Probably 'cause the server load. It's only for 10 minutes (or 20 minutes when things go bad)

 

[Darklord]

Thanks. I see CK has had constant buffing. Very good. I'm a one man army with him late game.

 

[ink4n3]

Omni and Tree are pretty good in year beast. Just heal and repel constantly. Any other strats working well for people?

 

[Jadax]

Just played as wr - shackle/ulti op

Heals seem to be the winner (omni, dazzle)

Ranged dmg also owning (sniper/wr)

 

[Indignate]

I've taken Death Prophet mid for three games and have done one with Natures Prophet. My friends have just been picking whatever pushing/deathballing heroes they want. Haven't lost one yet.

It helps that we've played in every single one so far and most people don't know what they're doing yet.

 

[Jadax]

Just got the S4 puck (Alliance) set - so I'm totally going to queue again for the next one lol

 

[Visualante2]

Valve are going to make so much money from people who are 1-2000 away from the gold horn.

 

[Shorty11857]

Jesus that Year Beast game I just played was game of misplays by everyone. Everyone just played so badly including me massive throw anyway

 

[Indignate]

Turns out my game got eaten.

It was a third prediction win too.

Valve just doesn't want to give me sets.

 

[SilentRacoon]

WOW I have seen 3 Arcana drops since the event started, lots of mythical stuff as well, can't wait till people start complaining about how all their items are now basically worthless.

 

[Anony]

how often does the beast mode start?

 

[Pureauthor]

how often does the beast mode start?

Seems to be around every 3 hours

 

[Pratfall]

haha, i love these events if only to see people in this thread complain about how much the modes suck but then queuing for them anyway because they want hats so badly.

also guaranteed there will be complaints that the drop system is now TOO generous.

most of the complaints are about NOT being able to play it because the server issues/disconnects not about the game mode itself.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Thanks. I see CK has had constant buffing. Very good. I'm a one man army with him late game.

Because he needs it. He's a beast, when no going against mass aoe.

[DOTA 2 SERVERS ARE FULL]

wut

 

[Deadly]

also guaranteed there will be complaints that the drop system is now TOO generous.

I actually do think the drop system seems abit too generous now. I think I've seen drops every other game since the new patch and they were mythical/legendary. Most of the time it was sets too. That accumulates to alot of items being giving out there overall.

Personally, I don't care because I don't buy hats at all but I can see an uproar coming from hat collectors.

 

[Smithy C]

Servers broken?

Which is fine, since now you can't make profit out of it.


RIP STEAMBUXS

Got a drop the other night before the event officially started. Figures it's shoulders for Chen, but it's better than what I received for the last 6 months. Disappointed you can't sell them though. I like selling useless stuff for a few cents so I can buy cheap loading screens or announcer packs. I understand the market was flooded but there was still a market for that crap. Kinda like dollar stores, they sell cheap items.

I swear Valve keeps doing events and updates when Blizzard updates Diablo. I want to say this is the third time they have updated or released an event at the same time. I want to play both but from what I'm reading only D3 is functioning properly at the moment.

 

[call_kotaku]

I think the only downside to items flooding the market is if it has a downward influence on direct cosmetic sales from the store, because that would hurt the livelihoods of the original makers.

I don't think a lot of people will be able to gather sympathy for speculators and collectors

Yeah. Don't care if its not marketable.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

This just dropped for me. Worth anything?

 

[Manus]

This just dropped for me. Worth anything?

Nope.

 

[Emerson]

This just dropped for me. Worth anything?

Literally valueless since you cannot sell it.

 

[Monochromaticx]

I rather play with russians than english. whinest players on the fucking planet.

 

[Pratfall]

what prismatic gem has the best cool look to price ratio for couriers, thinking of tricking out my shagbark on the cheap

Orbital Decay is nice and is 11 bucks

 

[rakkadakka]

How does IO work with the yearbeast.. can you relocate him?

I figure overcharge would be good.
