Three Spirits Update - Games

[QUOTE=ryfry99;42863328]Relevant: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1324912[/url][/QUOTE] "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." Don't think he's gonna have too big an issue...Still gonna be worth a lot. Also I forgot to mention..To get the gem from an unusual courier you have to destroy the unusual courier in the process to get the gem.

[QUOTE=Totenkreuz;42862995]The new animation one is most interesting. Is it random? Do they have tons of backed up various animations?[/QUOTE] They have been working on item exclusive animations for a while. I imagine the gems enable those animations.

Just the fact that I can make my favourite cosmetics into stranges is going to be really awesome.

Cosmetic less heroes still lack stranges, oh well. And maybe now we'll see some more stange modifiers. Like traps set and detonated for TA, Hooks for Pudge and other things

I wonder if greevil eggs will work the same.

[QUOTE=BlackAwps;42863005]Found this when converting the new hero portraits into gold avatars. [vid]http://blackawps.breakpointservers.com/dotastuff/dash_bg_spirits_2013_40534656.mp4[/vid] New animated background for this update.[/QUOTE] How exactly do you convert them into gold aatars? I'd like to use earth or the new storm spirit as my avatar.

I hope they give the remodel treatement to some heroes like Zeus, Viper, Slardar, Tiny maybe Skeleton King too

[QUOTE=Mr, Jukebox;42863999]How exactly do you convert them into gold aatars? I'd like to use earth or the new storm spirit as my avatar.[/QUOTE] I already created them if you want one.

[QUOTE=lol user;42864187]I hope they give the remodel treatement to some heroes like Zeus, Viper, Slardar, Tiny maybe Skeleton King too[/QUOTE] Tiny just needs new textures, same as Treant. Their models are honestly fine. Zeus needs everything tho

Oh and also Shadow Fiend please

[QUOTE=Keychain;42864200]Tiny just needs new textures, same as Treant. Their models are honestly fine. Zeus needs everything tho[/QUOTE] So does Axe. His shoulder is so low-poly you could mistake it for Blademail.

[QUOTE=Keychain;42864200]Tiny just needs new textures, same as Treant. Their models are honestly fine. Zeus needs everything tho[/QUOTE] Apart from his 'stache.

I made this for y'all: [img]http://i.imgur.com/m9fPpka.gif[/img]

Wait, has the update already dropped, or is it still just in Test Client?

Test client. Guess I will wake up with a nice suprise that I can play for like 2 hours before I have to go to school for 7 hours.

my client is updating so it might be up soon/now

[QUOTE=ddsn;42864687]my client is updating so it might be up soon/now[/QUOTE] Pretty sure this is it.

I got an question, are these unusual gems only allowed on a courier item, or can I put it for example on a sven sword? I assume not.

Only on couriers

it's habbendig

Thank you kindly! Green's my favorite color, and I can't wait to play him, looks great.

did they reduce the amount of pings you can use

they did, but how are Russians supposed to speak in their native tongue now?

[QUOTE=Left4Meds;42866688]did they reduce the amount of pings you can use[/QUOTE] It's seem to be something like 3 pings and then you can't ping for half a minute (assuming you spammed the first 3 pings)

2 pages late but [QUOTE=Keychain;42858743]Ember Spirit makes me think of Mulan for some reason.[/QUOTE] [img]http://puu.sh/5iDiB.jpg[/img] [img]http://blackawps.breakpointservers.com/portraits/ember_spirit_border.gif[/img] its the eyebrows!

I took a huge break from Dota 2, I probably stopped playing (except for a rare few times) before the summer ended. I think I may just start playing again, I've been waiting to try Ember Spirit.

May be just me but Ember and Earth spirit both look rather generic in comparison to Storm Spirit.

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;42867905]May be just me but Ember and Earth spirit both look rather generic in comparison to Storm Spirit.[/QUOTE] ember looks pretty generic imo, but id go as far as to say that earth spirit has one of the best designs in the game
