/dota2/ - Dota 2

>>3040

We League of Legends now? I mean, it looks fancy and all, but is it really necessary? Unless it has a lifetime Duels Won/Heroes Dunked/Storm Bolts thrown counter page stat thingy, then that'd be cool. But I guess those gems already do that. This whole thing seems so shiny and new. I hate change.

THIS IS THE SEXIEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO DOTA EVER

First off, Source 2

IT'S HAPPENING

I like the fact that the training mode is going to be more encouraged for new players. I'm gonna say there's a hundred percent probability that they allow for player-created training modes in the next few months.

Hopefully, they'll make custom matches easier to use. It's hard as hell to actually find a custom game, most likely because a majority of players don't even know how to get to one.

>>3044

I'm probably going to get used to the new dota tv, but right now that looks fucking awful.

>>3045

If you look above the minimap, there's a button for spectator options. There will definitely be something to hide all the extra stuff.

>>3045

>>3044

I don't think that's dotatv. at least sort of not really?

dotatv is modified hltv which is basically "the replay system, as it functions for live spectating"

i'm pretty sure what you're seeing is a version of steam broadcasting (the game proper, as it is seen there) baked into the game, with a bunch of attachments that pull data from the game (k/d/a, minimap, items, ultimate availability, networth/current gold, and whatever the red/blue bars are because they don't seem? to be hp/mana like i assumed? at least based on fear's current hp)

I could be wrong however, but i do think that they will have steam broadcasting baked in for the purposes of tournament viewership at least for out-of-game content. as we've seen with stuff like dreamleague, even TI qualifiers, there's a lot of content that studios put out, external to the game, and you've never been able to see any of it, and i think this intends to change that.

>>3044

you can't see anything

>>3044

I'd be surprised if they didnt have a fullscreen mode

goddam dude mirana is so fucking hot hnnngggggg

>still no day 2

dotards?????????????

day 2 is out

"custom games!!1"

so basically nothing

When leaguefags talk about "muh game modes"

>>3071

It's a rework of how the custom fans system functions. I was complaining earlier that most people didn't bother with custom modes because it was too inaccessible of a feature to even bother most of the time. This has now been fixed.

we already knew they were getting proper support in source 2

you can say they exist in the current implementation but they're so impossibly difficult for anybody that doesn't read a 5 page guide on how to play them to access that they might as well not even exist. the way they work currently is mostly nothing more than an opportunity for the creators to beta test their games

hence "basically nothing"

>>3095

Why not actually watch my replay an-you know what I'm not even in the mood for your shit today Mister Jew. Have a golden You Win! star. I'm sure it'd brighten up your day, because you probably don't see many wins down in dat 1.5k MMR trencherino.

:^3

>>3096

>tfw not even ripper jew

i'd love to watch your replay but last i checked in source 2 you can't

reminder that low effort shitposting is VAC-bannable

>>3098

Nice pictures reply, what's your point. Are you trying to say you aren't bad?

>>3097

Hi there, Redditor! You seem to be new here, perhaps you and your dank reminder meme might consider using some of the helpful FAQs resources, or lurking more! Quality post you made there, but there are no upvotes here! Don't you fret your little head though, I'll post some replays in the replay thread later just for you my friend :::–)))

>>3104

10/10

It seems they finally fixed the bug that caused constant load failures after playing too many custom games.

>>3148

it's a beta

http://blog.dota2.com/2015/09/coming-soon-the-reborn-update/

"after today any new content will be added directly to Source 2 only."

>le forced mem- i mean, update

http://blog.dota2.com/2015/09/introducing-dota-levels/

Today we are rolling out a preload of the Reborn Update to all players that have not previously downloaded it. The Reborn Update will be coming to the main client for all Dota 2 players in the next day or two.

arc warden files also added to reborn, probably released with the reborn update.

taking bets as to whether or not we get a balance patch to save us from leshrac/seeker/storm/lina/am/pl

>AM is imbalanced

>Needs a fuckload of farm to be viable in matches like a hard carry should

>Hard counter to both Storm Spirit and Leshrac

Why did they add a sand king weather effect?

>>4093
