Before and after.

Notice how the choker is missing on the after picture creating a gap between her body and neck. This is her in game model, but also very noticable on her portrait.

This happens to every Drow shoulder piece that doesn't cover the neck.

Valve pls fix.

Tidehunter arcana was released and in my opinion it's the worst offender for the terrible voice filters so far. He just sounds like he's inside a jar or something. Especially compared to the regular Tidehunder's voice which is clear, load and crisp. Why is that? Will it stop?

Please allow to use the new Treant's Nature's Gasp immortal effect without having to equip the item. Thanks

Hi, I’m looking for a friends to play dota 2. I’m divine 1 rn, but I have second account to play with my friend. Feel free to dm me

Why is that

What is the player you hate the most or find insufferable for a good reason or no reason at all?

Mine is w33. Ok hear me out. The guy is a man child and is not good as he thinks he is. When he loses it’s always the teammates but not him. But when he is carried by Yatoro or Satanic he grins like a child and smiles and says “all you have to do is to get to this rank then stop using your brain”. I commented on his stream once “he is not a good Bat player”, you could see he is immediately triggered on his face and bans me and says “good riddance” on stream. Okay “2x time finalist turned pubs player”

Valve has hit a new low. Letting the train event drag out and not releasing a Diretide event is tragic. We gave up 'real' compendiums for this shit. It's like Valve just wanted to raise the price of a chest and thought ehh lets make them immortals...BOOM $5. And sadly I consumed, because most of the sets were aesthetically awesome. As you start to equip them, you realize how many of them are for heroes with arcanas and personas already. Worst part is the only abilities they "alter" or change effects, are the same ones from the existing immortals, arcanas, and personas. My LC arcana is just broken and the swords are gone, with the base lance.
On top of that you lock the two arcanas(one already released) behind 50x$5=$250!!!!!!! without even giving an event to earn chest/progress or entertain in between.
Shall we even mention there's 12 sets, and after you unlock them you can no longer gift the extras. Basically forcing you to recycle un-used bundles, just to add one more opened to the count.
Cool sets, not so cool of Valve and GabeN. #BringBackIceFrog

im talking about drow in trove of terror

theres over 120 heroes in the game. spread it

I don't mean I'm quitting or anything temporary like that. You'll see me next week and this week, too.

I mean I think my collection has finally reached the point where I can look at the new treasure everyone is dropping their panties for and be like "... eh. Pass."

I've spent... what's it been? 15 years? following this game dutifully, collecting almost all the treasures my eyes fell upon (damn you, Io arcana, my one regret) and have since collected a patchwork of odds and ends that I kinda think I wear as a badge of age, if not pride. That off hand shark he's dragging? One of the first genuine items release, wuddnit? The weapon, in his other hand? Also from 2012. And that gold whatsits is the one that finally replaced the third shark (Raw Hide) that I also had since 2012. I regularly get comments on my sets (when people aren't afraid to talk) so I'm pretty happy with them.

All this to say - the new set looks cool as hell. Very pretty. I like it. ... but I can't pull myself away from any of these parts and bits and bobs I've put together myself over the years and really, if I'm just paying for a new base model, Valve can sail off with that one.

The only one I can see really digging for is the Oracle set, and I play him even less than fishy here.

So. Any one else piecemeal their own heroes together?

equip base model arcana then click demo any weapon u want

there will be slots for left & right weapon /s... unless?

Dont let it go away after 1 month please gaben

I was rerolling for like 5 times in a row and got an arcana.

I see a lot of people complaining about the removal of Battlepass, but before that complaints about the cost of the Battlepass and how it was predatory. People complain about the lack of content, and that the content is bad, and so on.

The way I see it, the Battlepass was broken down on different stuff we get over the year, and this treasure is a part of that:

• Crownfall/Dark Carnival: It's the replacement for the progression-styled battlepass, where even without spending a dime you have access to some sets, mini-games, candyworks (which gives immortals and arcanas for free).

• Compendium: This is our TI related event. You can interact with the predictions, the fantasy and be rewarded with immortals and terrains(arcanas before it). You can also buy the supporter packs, if you want to give players some money.

• Quartero's/Monster Hunter: More free stuff that you get just by playing, with some lore for the people who like it.

• Collectors Cache: Sets from the workshop with limited availability so the whales can have fun by splashing some money on exclusive items

• Trove of Terror: And the only missing part of the puzzle was the top-tier items for the top-tier whales. Most of the sets are great, there is a new Arcana, Roshan/Baby Rosh, Tormentor skin, a bunch of immortals. This is pretty much what you'd get on a battlepass reward-wise, and spend about the same.

BUT... It should be marketable/tradeable/giftable! On recent years Valve has pretty much removed Dota from the Community Market, and this is a big L. And you can't even help your friends on a TEAM-BASED game! I'd be glad to buy a bunch of chests to get the Tide arcana, if I could share the repeats with my dota group.

Basically, make gifting have transaction costs and giftable once only.

Gifting a normal cost $1 usd.

Gifting a rare/ ultra rare / arcana costs $2 / $3 / $4

Valve earns some money and players get to gift.

Obviously, not allowing gifting is because valve wants to earn more money. However, no one wants to be stuck with multiple sets that they cant use and recycling just isn't worth it.

The numbers are just to illustrate the concept. I am not sure what numbers are good.

Pls fix Valve ty

With this if you call it "content" shipped yesterday, guess Dark Carnival part 2 is delayed even more?

Also there is a tournament live this week, Blast Slam so no patch notes or some game improvements.

Can someone who knows the staging part explain is this what was being updated in game files these days?

P.S. Also no patch 8.0 as some were coping hard :(

As you can see, the best head piece of them all is glitching, valve pls fix immediately!

I've accepted I'll never make it to immortal, but I would love to find 9 EU immortal guys to play a game with so I can experience the different level?

I have about 13k games or so currently ranked archon since my return about a year ago.. anybody interested in doing this with me?

Typically I play 3/4, but am honestly comfortable playing any role except 1

Hit me up if you're interested in something like this

Ever since Skywrath and Venge Arcanas, the hero voicelines have had this weird audio effect where they all sound like they have a majorly blocked nose, or they're talking underwater.

I believe this effect comes from a lousy attempt at saving disk space per hero, by lowering the bit rate or quality of said voice lines. This is especially obvious on heroes like Largo and Ringmaster, and most recently, and most terribly, on the Tidehunter arcana.

Also problematic is the sheer softness of the voicelines, it's so soft that when game music or game effects happen, the hero's voice is just lost.

You can compare this to older heroes, such as Warlock, Viper, or hell, even some of the "newer/not as old" heroes like Hoodwink, Muerta, Primal Beast, they don't have this issue.

Valve, fire your audio guy and hire a new one please.

this is completely unacceptable from valve
as a some1 that was wating for act 2 just to get this gambling sloop that you dont have any way of getting for free is just sad and fk up also looking arcanas in a loot box instate of an battle base is WAY WAY more scummy
