gg my 4 stack won and all 4 of us got pretty decent items but at the end after killing roshan it didn't count the game for some reason and gave us nothing, not even the first item.
I love how brewmasters warriors can't hit the pumpkin for candy, but every other illusion or illusion-like thing can.

pro tip:
get a hero with long range (600 or more; windrunner works best) and get Lone Druid
windrunner goes behind the cliff(secret shop area) next to the radiant bucket (if you are on the dire)
or goes in the river just below the bucket(if you are on the radiant)
Lone druid sends his hero on your team's bucket and sends the bear on the enemy bucket
windrunner attacks the bucket from afar and the bear collects candy
this is especially good earlygame since its hard for lvl 1 heroes to take down a 1400 hp bear(you can even buy it boots to make it go fast)
when youre done just recall the bear(or run away if they're attacking it)

Bear can't hold them anymore.
Sadly.
fun fact, for some reason faceless voids ult doesn't stop roshan. it doesn't even stop the enemy team from attacking roshan. it only stops your teammates.
just a fyi if you don't want to feel like a teamkilling prick (i was doing it for like 5-10 minutes while killing him before i noticed :v:.)
I may be wrong but Void seems like a terrible pick.

i was just testing out characters, first time playing faceless void so ya
it was really good till the roshan killing part
Not sure if fixed, but always repick for an additional 200 gold.
Yes, I know it sounds stupid.

Fixed as well.
Killing candy however is still in, I hope they remove that function soon, it has been marked as a bug.
sniper is a gay pick, oh god
[QUOTE=Tokagero;38272072]Fixed as well.

Why? Going in, hitting the basket and then the candy is a worthy earlygame sacrifice imo.
Probably late but i took a picture of this in my earlier match

Whats a elemental ice fusion? When i killed roshan it didn't put it in my inventory.
[QUOTE=Twistshock;38272164]Why? Going in, hitting the basket and then the candy is a worthy earlygame sacrifice imo.[/QUOTE]
Except it removes the risk element and reduces overall candies in game, thus resulting in less XP and Gold for both teams.
If you kill the candy, enemies can't retrieve it, they can't chase you down, they can't take their candy away from your basket, only steal yours, which still doesn't help the fact that they can only equalise at that point.
If you are running away with candy, you have the lowered health, tp delay increase, all the stuff to make for exciting game. Killing candy just shows how little confidence the player has, that he won't be able to steal and carry it, so he better off kill it entirely so that noone gets it.
You know how in good , normal games you have people killing their Gem so enemies don't get it if all things go south ? That's cool mechanic and helps to minimalise loses. But those are regular games.
Diretide = "Have fun with a bit of something else, hectic mode to relax at!", why bring bitter and anti-fun elements into it like killing candy.
[QUOTE=Maruhai;38269737]What was the exploit ? I didn't even know about it and now it's fixed, safe to tell everybody.[/QUOTE]
You were able to hurt Roshan after 10 minutes when he shows up, so they hurt him so bad, that he
only needed one hit to die at the end.
[QUOTE=chonks;38267857]Item inflation is going to make everything worthless.[/QUOTE]
Huh? Items exist only for 21 heroes and how many are there currently? 91.
And the rest of the heroes aren't even put into the game.
Maybe for these items, but not for all the others that are coming.
Still, there is always the possibility, that Valve will reset everything when the game is out.
What can you do with the essences btw?
Essences can be imbued with eggs to make them different color. Its in the OP.
Also, I've gotten 4 Wex essences so far. Would be 5 but I didn't get my reward after one game (game crashed for everyone so nobody got jackshit)
What are they worth? Since I already used my 3 Wex essences, I have a spare one lying around.

Ice Tiny.
Holy shit the rare juggernaut healing ward item dropped for me in diretide.
I'm getting nothing but rares and mythicals, I guess I'm lucky?

I'm getting nothing but commons now.
You are lucky.
I feel bad, dude got an Odachi but my team were all whiney russians who called gg because they wanted us to somehow raid their base when they had way better defenders and carries who came the second anything happened all while they laned and tried to take towers- so no Odachi for him.
So, I never would have thought it, but playing an agressive Spectre works wonders in Diretide. You hit really hard early due to Desolate, and you can raid then spec dagger out. I went 18-2 (end score 18-6 because Rosh was a bitch :<)
Might just be because I'm only in the normal bracket, but damn people don't know how to deal with Spectre, and wtih all that gold, I was unstoppable.

It's something of a rivalry between one of my Steam friends and I that I love healing wards and he despises their existence and Juggernaut in his entirety. A mutual friend found a rare healing ward at the end of a ridiculous game.
I don't know which of us hated him more after that v:v:v
[QUOTE=Suttles;38269862]yea the roshan fight is boring as shit, its fun to go around culling people[/QUOTE]
If they don't want to get culled, start dodging the aoe better :v:
yesterday i got so many rares
now im getting commons only
I got the war dog courier
It was terrible because i knew the people on my team was bad
But the people on the other team managed to be even worse
People say they want to win.
Then pick fucking BH.
Why? For what reason? How could BH possibly be more useful than for example Sven, Skeleton King, Ursa, etc.
Rikimaru is so good in Diretide, why is no one fighting over him in picks? Picking up someone's candy off the ground without losing invisibility is the best.
Enchantress is a lot of fun in this gamemode
Why is it every game I get an item I would like to win, my team is full of players who don't know how to play, and when I get useless 5th copies of Bloodseeker common items, I get teams that could compete in MLG?
Also, why is it always the 0-17 idiots that get Unusual Essences?
Is anyone else lagging badly? Dota seems to be taking a huge shit and keeping graphics on low doesnt do anything
