Denied creeps now give less experience (50% experience, instead of a constant 36 per unit Example: Initial creep wave from 144 XP to 113 XP if the creeps are denied)

First Blood bonus gold decreased from 200 to 150

 

Reworked the bonus area of effect XP

 

 

This change only affects the extra XP given if within an area after a kill.

It does not affect the natural XP you get for killing a hero of a certain Level.

 

Old:

==============

VictimLevel = Level of the Victim

 

1 Hero: XP = 120 + 20 * VictimLevel

2 Heroes: XP = 90 + 15 * VictimLevel

3 Heroes: XP = 30 + 7 * VictimLevel

4 Heroes: XP = 20 + 5 * VictimLevel

5 Heroes: XP = 15 + 4 * VictimLevel

 

 

New:

==============

VictimLevel = Level of the Victim

VictimXP = Total XP of the Victim

EnemyTeamXP = Enemy team's total XP

AlliedTeamXP = Your team's total XP

XPDifference = ( EnemyTeamXP - AlliedTeamXP )/ ( EnemyTeamXP + AlliedTeamXP ) (minimum 0)

XPFactor = XPDifference * VictimXP

 

1 Hero: XP = 20 * VictimLevel + XPFactor * 0.5

2 Heroes: XP = 15 * VictimLevel + XPFactor * 0.35

3 Heroes: XP = 10 * VictimLevel + XPFactor * 0.25

4 Heroes: XP = 7 * VictimLevel + XPFactor * 0.2

5 Heroes: XP = 5 * VictimLevel + XPFactor * 0.15

 

 

 

Reworked bonus area of effect Gold and Streak ending

 

 

This change only affects the extra Gold given if within an area after a kill.

It does not affect the natural Gold received for killing a hero of a certain Level/Streak.

 

Old:

==============

VictimLevel = Level of the Victim

 

1 Assist: Gold = 125 + 12 * VictimLevel

2 Assist: Gold = 40 + 10 * VictimLevel

3 Assist: Gold = 10 + 6 * VictimLevel

4+ Assist: Gold = 6 + 6 * VictimLevel

 

 

New:

==============

The player that got the last hit now also gets the area of effect bounty.

 

VictimLevel = Level of the Victim

VictimNW = The victim's Net Worth

EnemyTeamNW = Enemy team's total Net Worth

AlliedTeamNW = Your team's total Net Worth

NWDifference = ( EnemyTeamNW - AlliedTeamNW )/ ( EnemyTeamNW + AlliedTeamNW ) (minimum 0)

NWFactor = NWDifference * VictimNW

 

1 Hero: Gold = 40 + 7 * VictimLevel + NWFactor * 0.5

2 Heroes: Gold = 30 + 6 * VictimLevel + NWFactor * 0.35

3 Heroes: Gold = 20 + 5 * VictimLevel + NWFactor * 0.25

4 Heroes: Gold = 10 + 4 * VictimLevel + NWFactor * 0.2

5 Heroes: Gold = 10 + 4 * VictimLevel + NWFactor * 0.15​

 

In combination with these changes, the gold for ending a spree is in turn reduced, from 125->1000 to 100->800.

 

 

 

Glyph of Fortification cooldown is now refreshed whenever you lose a Tier 1 tower

Tier 2 Tower's armor increased from 20 to 25

Tower bounty gold for destroying Tier 1/2/3/4 reduced from 264/312/358/405 to 160/200/240/280 (denied is 50%)

 

In Captain's Mode, the 3rd ban phase order is swapped

 

 

Reworked how All Pick works in Ranked Matchmaking

 

 

Picking starts after a 35 second strategy period.

Teams alternate picking. Whenever it is a team's turn to pick, anyone on that team can pick for themselves.

Teams have up to 30 seconds to pick a hero. If the timer expires, each player that hasn't selected a hero will lose 2 gold per second. The selection will stay on this team until a hero is picked.

Once a selection is made, it immediately switches to the other team to pick.

 

Additional Notes:

Initial starting team is random, but known at the start of the strategy period.

If a team has not picked and continued losing gold for more than 30 seconds, a player that hasn’t picked will be assigned a random hero and the turn will resume to the other team.

DAMAGE TYPE CHANGES

 

 

A few abilities and damage type mechanics have been reworked. There are now three primary damage types and a Spell Immunity Piercing status with each. Each ability now carries a notation in the tooltip indicating these.

 

The three damage types are Physical, Magical and Pure.

 

Physical is affected by Physical Armor, Magical is affected by Magical Damage Resistance and Pure is affected by neither.

 

Magic Immunity has now been renamed to Spell Immunity. Spell Immunity only defines if Spells interact with it, not how damage itself is handled. This means that on its own Spell Immunity status does not reduce any damage.

 

Black King Bar, Repel, Rage and all other previous forms of "Magic Immunity" now grant Spell Immunity status and a 100% Magic Resistance bonus.

 

In the vast majority of cases, the interactions are still the same, however an example of a case that would be different is if an ability has both Spell Immunity exception and has Pure damage type. Previously the damage would not have any impact, however now it does.

 

Ability Tooltips now have these fields:

 

-Damage Type: Physical/Magical/Pure

-Pierces Spell Immunity: Yes/No

 

If the Damage Type is not Magical it will be colored differently to make it easier to notice. The same is true in cases where Pierces Spell Immunity is Yes.

 

There have been a few abilities rebalanced with these mechanics in mind. In some cases the intent is to maintain similar balance, in other cases as an adjustment to their balance.

Acid Spray damage type from Composite to Physical (still pierces Spell Immunity)

Acid Spray damage reduced from 14/20/26/32 to 12/16/20/24

Additional Notes:

 

1) Composite Damage: This damage type has been removed. There are no longer any abilities which use Composite Damage.

2) HP Removal: This is no longer considered a Damage Type, and its remaining uses are as an alternative cost to Mana for spells to use (Sunray, Burning Spears) or as functional HP modifications (Armlet, Sunder, etc). These are now considered usage costs in the game and are never lethal.

Update Notes - December 10, 2013

 

 

GAMEPLAY

 

- Skeleton King: Removed for pressing ceremonial reasons

 

 

 

 

 

Update Notes - December 5, 2013

 

• Fixed a bug that caused some gem names and stat values to get truncated in the tooltip.

• Recipe costs have been reduced. This change will affect newly dropped recipes.

• Items with gems that convey the Inscribed, Autographed, and Ascendant qualities will now appear consistently. If the gemmed item already had a special quality (like Genuine) then that special quality will take precedence over the gem quality.

• Several issues with crafting have been fixed:

• A bug that made it appear that items were 'eaten' by crafting has been fixed. No items were actually eaten (they are still in your inventory). For example, a recipe that took 5 inputs would sometimes only consume 4 of the inputs and remain incomplete. The 5th item was never consumed even though it appeared to be by the UI. Recipes will now consume the correct number of items.

• A bug has been fixed that made the display of some recipes show the wrong type of items already fulfilled (i.e.: 4 of the same thing when actually 4 different items were fulfilled).

• The server is notified of a crafting attempt earlier in the crafting process so that crafting results will appear earlier.

• The crafting completed animation now also plays for partial crafts. A dialog will appear during a partial craft indicating the recipe is not complete and needs more components to be finalized.

• The tradability policy for socketed gems and crafted items has changed:

• Gems extracted from an item that is "tradable after date" now become tradable after the same date.

• Gems extracted from an item that can never be traded no longer inherit that restriction. You can safely add gems to a permanently untradable item without the gems becoming permanently untradable.

• Gems that are not tradable (like Ascendant gems) will make the item they are added to untradable, but only while those gems are socketed. Extracting the gems will remove the trade restriction from the item they are added to.

• If one or more crafted inputs are "tradable after date" then the recipe and output will become "tradable after date" with the latest date of the inputs.

• If one or more crafted inputs are permanently untradable then the recipe and output will become permanently untradable.

• All previously crafted items have been grandfathered into these new rules and have been made tradable.

- When an item is hammered and its gems extracted, the now gemless item and the extracted gems will all popup as newly found items.

- A bug that caused gems to get stacked on top of the item they were extracted from in the armory UI has been fixed. Items that are hidden under gems can be found by moving the gems or sorting the backpack.

- We are in the process of restoring items that had their original special quality (genuine, vintage, etc) changed by gems. At the moment the Inscribed, Autographed, and Ascended qualities will only be set on items that have no other special quality.

- The reason for a new item entering the armory is now displayed in the item drop popup, i.e.: "Customer Support Granted You:" or "You Earned a Drop:"

Update Notes - November 20, 2013

 

The winners of today's Diretide cycle have been chosen a bit differently: Due to a bug in our UI the top score did not actually represent the current kill leader. Some teams went as far as they could, reaching an impressive 218 level kill. Others played the timing game and tried to one up who they thought the current leader was based on the Leaderboard.

 

We've decided to reward winners of both the highest level kill and the current highest score on the Leaderboard.

 

 

Cycle 7 Diretide Changes:

 

- Roshan can no longer be hexxed or stunned during Sugar Rush.

 

- The Sugar Rush Hall of Fame no longer displays the current cycle's high score. It will display the high score only once the cycle has completed.

 

 

 

 

Update Notes - November 19, 2013

 

* Couriers that scale their particle effects based on their games viewed will work again.

* Fixed several bugs that caused recipes to be generated with incorrect requirements.

* Fixed a bug that caused the UI for a recipe that requires multiple inputs of a particular rarity to incorrectly display a requirement for a specific item once the input requirement was partially fulfilled.

* Uncraftable items will no longer be generated as required inputs for recipes. Recipes that currently have uncraftable inputs will be adjusted to require a random item of the same rarity.

* Fixed a bug where inscribed gems would only display their first digit on the Steam Community Market.

* Inscribed gems now are named only by the type of stat they track instead of the type of stat they track and the value. This means that all items of the same type will appear together on the Steam Community Market. I.e.: No more "Kills: 1" category and "Kills: 2" category instead there would just be one "Kills" category.

 

Diretide Candy Rush changes:

- Roshan no longer belly aches.

- Roshan refreshes hero abilities only once per life at 50%.

Coaching

- Anyone in a matchmaking party can specify that they'd like to coach the party instead of play. In lobbies, players can choose to coach a team instead of play or spectate. Coaches cannot be used in Team Matchmaking, or Tournament lobbies.

- Increased maximum matchmaking party size to 6, to allow a coach to teach an entire team of students (but you can't Find Match if you have 6 players with no coach)

- Coaches are able to use in-player perspective views and broadcaster tools like line drawing to teach their students. They are able to ping on the ground, the minimap, and anywhere in the HUD itself.

- Coaches are considered to be on the same team as their students, so they cannot see anything in the game that their students can't see.

Economy

Steam Community Market

- This update may greatly disrupt market prices. In order to prevent items being purchased at pre-update prices for arbitrage, we are removing all item listings and returning them to their owners. While this removal process is taking place, new items will not be able to be listed on the Steam Community Market.

- You can now list an item on the market from the armory (right click: sell on the market).

- Armory item tooltips now contain the current lowest trading price for an item of the same class as the one highlighted. (Class is a somewhat flexible concept at the moment, so unusual courier prices will be less accurate than a specific wearable piece of equipment.)

 

Crafting

- Crafting recipes now have a chance of dropping as a bonus item. These drops do not take up your normal drops, but are in addition to them.

Polymorph Recipes

- These recipes take a variable number of any input of the same rarity and output a random other item of the same rarity. Example: 2 of Any Rare => 1 Random Different Rare

Augment Recipes

- These recipes take a combination of inputs of the same rarity and output a random other item of the next best rarity. Example: 1 of Any Common & 1 Wavecrester => 1 Random Uncommon

Ancient Scroll Case

- A new type of Treasure Chest called the "Ancient Scroll Case" has been added. These cases drop multiple recipes when they are opened.

- The Ancient Scroll Case has a chance to drop an Exceptional Recipe. These make items that were previously only available as Genuine quality promotional items. The recipe creates a non-genuine version of the item.

Gems & Sockets

- Items can now have up to 5 sockets.

- A socket can receive a gem. Each socket can only contain one gem.

- Some sockets require specific types of gems.

- When a gem is added to a socket that already contains a gem, the previous gem is destroyed.

New Socketing Tools:

- Artificer's Chisel: Adds a socket to an item.

- Artificer's Hammer: Extracts the gems from an item.

Gem Types:

- Kinetic Gems

- Adds a new animation to the hero using the item.

Inscribed Gems

- Adds stat tracking ability to the item similar to the old strange system.

- The item they are added to changes to the "Inscribed" quality.

Ethereal Gems

- Adds a particle effect to the item.

- All unusual effects can now be colorized.

Prismatic Gems

- Colorizes the particle effect on the effect gem.

Ascendant Gems

- The Ascendant Orb, Gem of Taegeuk, and Bloodstones are now Ascendant Gems.

- The item they are added to changes to the "Ascendant" quality. (in addition to tracking victories or gifts given as they did before).

Autograph Runes

- Autographs are now Autograph Runes.

- Allows you to tag an item with a pro player's autograph.

- Since an item can have 5 sockets, you can now get a whole team to autograph an item.

- The item they are added to changes to the "Autographed" quality.

Spectator Gems

- Items that previously tracked 'games viewed' now contain spectator gems.

- Spectator gems follow a specific league or team.

- Styles that previously required 'games viewed' now require a gem with the same number of games viewed (for the correct league / player / team / etc).

- Ethereal & Prismatic gems are used together on unusual items (couriers).

 

- More types of gems will be coming in the future.

- Unusual items do not change quality when gems are added. Non-unusual items will change in the order gems are added.

 

Item Quality Keywords

- The item quality keyword "Vintage" has been changed to "Elder".

- The item quality keyword "Tournament" has been changed to "Heroic".

- The item quality keyword "Haunted" has been changed to "Cursed".

- The item quality keyword "Strange" has been changed to "Inscribed".

 

Strange Items

- Strange modifiers on items have been converted into stat tracking Inscribed Gems.

- The stats on items are no longer wiped when an item is traded.

- Strange modifiers that haven't been applied have been turned into 'gem packs' that grant a living stat tracking gem and a Artificer's Chisel to create a socket on an item.

- Previously strange quality items are now have the inscribed quality.

 

Unusual Paint & Colors

- Unusual paint items have been changed into Gem Packs that will grant a gem of the same color of the old paint item when used.

- All couriers that were painted in the past will now have color gems already installed of the appropriate color.

- All legacy courier colors (very old drop colors, bugged colors, etc) have been preserved as color gems. If you want, you can smash the courier to recover the legacy color gem and use it on some other courier or effect combination.

- All unusual paint items on the Steam Community Market have been delisted. You can relist the Color Gem Packs.

- All non-legacy colors (colors that drop normally from Treasure Chests) now have specific names (i.e.: "Verdant Green"). Legacy colors will have the name "Legacy (R G B)". (Most Legacy Colors are completely unique, but there are a few where more than one of that color exist.)

- New colors will appear on Treasure Chest unusuals from time to time moving forward. While we will avoid selecting legacy colors we cannot completely guarantee that new colors will not sometimes be similar. The 800 or so unique legacy colors in existence cover a large amount of color space.

Фурион фурион по фарму чемпион

[media=]

[media=]

[/media]

Откуда столько денег у этого пидараса

Все это лишь заслуга Hand of midas'a

Я зарабатываю столько голды в минуту

Что все вокруг кричат - "Ты что ебанутый?"

 

К 40 минут я богаче чем Jay-Z

И если не нравится то лучше хуй мой отсоси

Чтобы разбогатеть не нужно мне потеть

Я нажимаю ульт и деньги начинают течь

 

Ох как мне надоели все эти нищеброды

Вокруг меня не тима, а просто цирк уродов

Ну что у тебя есть, давай ка покажи

Два брасера и стик - ебать вы все бомжи

 

И как вообще возможно - с такой командой победить

Не могут даже три крипа в минуту зафармить

Пойду я лучше пушить - пошли они все нахуй

Вот сделаю Treant'ов - снесу врагам бараки

 

Фурион, фурион - по фарму чемпион

Быстрее всех голду зарабатывает он

Лучший фармила в доте - это Nature's Profit

Нам базу уже сносят - а он фармит и ему пофиг

 

Фурион, фурион - штопаный гандон

Своей команде не помогает он

Себе быстрее всех приобрете шесть слотов

Ну а потом в итоге все равно всосет в проглотом

 

Какого хуя сука я снова проиграл

Себе купил криты лотар и даже абиссал

Да сборка неплохая, с нег мог я бить ебала

Но базу нам снесли, похоже тима подкачала

 

Ну ладно ничего, но в следующей игре

Куплю рефрешер чтобы весь фарм забрать себе

Затем я сразу точно куплю себе рапиру

Наверно только так смогу выигрывать я игры

 

Пацан сказал и сделал - он фармил как бог

К 28 минуте купить рапиру смог

С руки 400 урона это вам не шутка

Вот это дпс, да я дамажу жутко

 

Теперь я всем в секунду сломаю их ебала

Но вижу я кристалку - ну сука ты попала

Ах ебаный ты нахуй, тут сраный рикимару

Да бля моя рапира, все сука я ливаю

 

Фурион фурион по фарму чемпион

Быстрее всех голду зарабатывает он

Лучший фармила в доте - это Nature's Profit

Нам базу уже сносят - а он фармит и ему пофиг

 

Фурион, фурион - какой ты хуесос

За всю игру врагам ты даже товера не снес

Фармить за фуриона сможет даже обезьяна

Такие нубы нам сливают игры постоянно

 

 

10 из 10, господи 10 из 10
