Compete against the enemy team in collecting the most candy.
Collect candy from Roshlings and deposit it in your Candy Bucket.
Go on a raid and steal the enemy's candy from their bucket.

Below is from a [URL="http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/12dwok/how_different_types_of_essences_affect_the/"]Reddit thread[/URL]
[CODE]It is said (by some elder sage or other) that the hatchlings are highly susceptible, and that each essence exerts a unique influence on the incubating creature. Is there method to this madness? Trial and error, and some comparison of results, will surely reveal the rules of Greevil husbandry.[I]this basically means that different essences will affect the outcome of the egg when it hatches, this is mainly a thread to try and gather information about the different possible outcomes and how to get them.[/I]
first things first....
Each Egg has 9 slots for essences, don't be fooled by the appearance of 15 slots (the other 6 slots are just a visual indication of how the colors combine to generate green/orange/purple) :
3 red slots (Exort essence)
3 Blue slots (Quas Essence)
3 Yellow slots (Wex Essence)
[B]Different Types of essences :[/B]
Quas Essence
Wex Essence
Exort Essence
Unusual Essence
Strange Essence
Subtle Essence
Shadow Essence
[B][I]WARNING : for those of you who are willing to experiment, DON'T use a shadow essence on an egg that already contains other types of essences, it will always convert into a dreaded egg (Black) no matter what, and your essences already put into the egg will be kinda useless, since you can just put a shadow essence into an empty egg to get the same result[/I][/B]

[B]Natural Eggs[/B]
[B]Imbued Egg[/B] (Natural type 1): 1 essence of any type except shadow OR All other combinations, Hatch outcome : Normal Greevil Level 1 (Naked)
[B]SPECULATIONS[/B] : (Please confirm these or deny them if you got any proof)
Unusual essence will not change the egg color or the outcome, but it might cause the courier to be unusual??
IF the speculation about unusual essence is correct, will strange essence cause the courier to be strange?
what exactly does the subtle essence do ?
Adding a shadow essence into an egg will always turn it into a dreaded egg no matter what type of essences you had before, or even if it was empty, and it prevents you from adding more essences ([URL="http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/12dwok/how_different_types_of_essences_affect_the/c6u9m7o"]Source[/URL], Confirmed thanks shepherdlui.)
Eggs will hatch after the event is over, and not anytime before.
Egg outcomes will be Greevil Couriers, The Greevil will have a number of different parts ranging from Ears, Eyes, Hair, Horns, Nose, Tails, Teeth and Wings. He will also come in a range of different colours etc. The combination you get will be determined from whatever essences you feed your egg.

lets try to make this post as informative as possible so people can get the most out of this event within its duration. (and try to get as many people contributing to this, the more input the faster this gets completed and confirmed)
Happy Diretide. :)[/CODE]

Saw it too, when I click it in-game it just defaults to the old update.
Roshan is cute.
Roaming Roshan?
Oh dear.
Dota 2 is beautiful in SFM
The Diretide page is now up, nice
About flipping time, I was expecting it far earlier though.
This looks way better than the TF2 Halloween
Medallion now core on every hero
I'm so fucking excited. I knew being sick today would pay off.
This is awesome. You guys think we're still getting heroes tomorrow as well? That would be one amazing update.
It wouldn't surprise me if they snuck in Medusa. But that roshan is so cute :3
Baby Roshan courier confirmed. I don't need to say more.
Diretide is a separate game mode, probably gonna take forever to find matches.=
I wonder what's in those crates and eggs.
I read the site and I have no fucking idea what you're meant to do. So you get candy, and feed it to Roshan, and then he gets a sugar rush and you kill him for loot but you can also feed candy to a greevil egg?
Maybe it'll make more sense when I play it.

Woohoo updating.
[QUOTE=Banhfunbags;38257654][t]http://i.imgur.com/GlOEf.jpg[/t][/QUOTE]
Bloody HUD and river... awesome.
i want the lil babs roshan. soooo cute
I have no fucking clue what's going on, but it's fun.
Quality page there, getting chills all over. I wonder if this will work in bot matches too.
How long is the event going to be?
Will it be an separate/optional mode or default mode for all match types?
This is super fun.
So, basically, you collect candy for 15 minutes. The people with the most candy get free items. Then Roshan comes and you get FUCKED THE FUCK UP. The team that gets the last hit on Roshan gets free items, the rest get the egg things.
It's really, really fun. When Roshan comes you get a free 15k and you can't attack the enemy team.
ALSO DEATH PROPHET IS THE ANNOUNCER !!!
EDIT NEVERMIND
If they got Ellen back to do an announcer voice over I bet they also got her to do Medusa.
lmao NP and AM are imba as fuck on this
My god this is fun, and so many items
I snagged a tidehunter item for coming in #1 killing rosh as lion, eblade and dagon 5 for the win
Decided to play it and had a team who couldn't figure it the fuck out. I'm kind of slow and I Was the first to figure out that CANDY GIVES YOU EXP USE IT TO FARM TO LEVEL 25 THAT IS WHY HE REGENS FASTER THEN YOU CAN HIT HIM YOU ARE ALL LEVEL 17 NO THE CANDY DOES NOT HURT HIM YOU DUMB RUSSIAN GOD FUCK
Fantastic gamemode though.
ROSHAN ALSO HAS DIFFERENT COSTUMES AHAHAHAHAHA
I've gotten him as an Angel and as Frankenstein's Monster so far.
