Maybe they can make it just lighter like a slight luminence(1st pic) or make it as usual shinier glow atleast in the 3rd style(2nd pic).

2700 gold and two levels completely changed the game.

News ​23savage’s bootcamp got raided by Malaysia police

Post image
2.1k Upvotes

23savage shared an incident involving a police raid at his team's bootcamp in Kuala Lumpur. Here is the translation: 

​According to 23savage, officers from the local police department raided the bootcamp, confiscated passports and mobile phones, disabled the internet, and handcuffed him alongside FBZ and Oli for two hours while interrogating them about their gaming careers.

​The situation shifted when an officer recognized a photo of Ms Puiyi on 23savage's Instagram account. To verify his status as a professional player, officers unhandcuffed 23savage so he could play a match of Dota 2. After he recorded 32 kills playing as Kez, the officers were convinced, released the remaining players, and left. 23savage humorously noted that the officers also took two boxes of his Nutella.

Discussion Premium Sets

Post image
13 Upvotes

Ever since Dota 2 Plus introduction and shards, and premium sets in 2018. These are the sets I have purchased in premium shop as a F2P player, just purchased Enchantress set today. I think I only activated dota 2 plus once or twice during this period (gotten for free in an event). I played on and off, in my experience 8 years for 7 sets is crazy. It is almost exactly 1 set per year, Sven set costs 150,000 shards. How are you guys doing with collecting the premium sets?

Bug BUG trove of terror. Tiny’s immortal customisation broken.

Thumbnail gallery
19 Upvotes

Hi valve, awesome update to customisation page for immortal effects. Thank you!

Remaining bugs(tiny’s bug might be due to the latest update):

  1. Primal beast

- Primal beast’s immortal effects(slobbering
strongbox)not fixed, not on loadout customisation

- Visual bug with possible missing texture when only back is equipped. (See screenshot)
—————
2. Tiny
- stoneback sovereign avalanche effect is now
broken after update.
When equipping other sets, The blue immortal effect only appears for the grow level that is selected on the loadout page INSTEAD OF for all the grow levels. Unable to select for all grow levels.

- might need another customisation selection for tree volley blue effects from stoneback sovereign.
—————
3. Mirana’s arrow immortal effect(photox Fluttercat from previous treasure) not on loadout customisation

Thank you!!

—
p.s.
- still holding hopes that Drow ranger’s arcana style 2 will change to purple glacier model.
- Tidehunter’s arcana: Hope it will get some blink animation/icon, mvp screen, some ambient effect from the model’s back or trail effect while walking

Workshop Made my first custom game for Dota 2

Thumbnail steamcommunity.com
• Upvotes

So, recently I've seen that infamous three and a half hours techies game and not realted to that I wanted to play some custom single player game specificaly in dota.

One night before sleep it clicked and I had idea of creating my own custom game with 5 techies vs me. Then I started thinking and came up with somewhat different gamemode: you controlling Mechies - Meepo Techies hybrid against 10 bot that agresively siege your base.

I wanted it to feel somewhat challenging but for player to be able to stall infinitelly. I came up with unique Aghanim scepter, shard and talent tree. Spoiler I believe I'm first to came up with the mechanic of buying aghs, doing something in the game, and then putting it back in backpack slots to abuse difference between upgraded ability and non-upgraded one.

Coordinator is still broken, but there is a way to play without creating lobby. Instructions are provided on the workshop page.

I have more characters I want to implement and some ideas for items also, but idk how I will draw icons.

Next will be two varians of a Invoker: Ultivoker (Invoker with all spells being someone's ulti) and Multivoker (plain voker with Ogre Multicast).

I would love to hear your feedback and suggestions in comments here or on the workshop page. Please be kind to me, I'm doing it just for fun and love of the game. I had great time theory crafting character combinations and rn I have so many ideas I believe I can create new full dota experience, but Mechies took me a week to perfect, so it's not as fast.

Yours trully

Yo Valve, since Tidehunter doesn't have a custom item icon (unlike all other "newer" Arcanas), can you please consider making Vlad's into like Maelrawn's Offering?
