[QUOTE=Antimuffin;41611700]Did they actually add that stuff? If so, then fuck that shit. I don't want it to become the next Team Fortress 2.[/QUOTE]
In the Schema, which makes them ever so closer to get in. It's not guaranteed, but whomever at Valve thought any of those looked good should be fired.
Now, don't get me wrong, some of the new items look good, but this update had a disproportionate amount of shit items get into the schema, which is one of the things people are complaining about.
[editline]1[/editline]
It seems that the items in Dota 2 have gotten both progressively better and progressively worse as time has gone on. When the game first started getting cosmetics they were just a few good items that didn't stand out and nothing was bad, but now we're getting worse and worse piles of garbage like the Na'Vi weasel-crow and Deathripper, and very good ones like Yonex's Rage and Shagbark.
holy shit you people
they've always had some awful sets in the schema, like that razer looking sand king set, but they never get into the game, yet people always find something to bitch about

I'm almost certain that Kunkka hat is actually in the game. It's files say it's active.
Even though I pray every night that it's not.

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;41616799]except these ones [I]are [/I]in the game dummy[/QUOTE]
which ones? the deathspitter isnt that great yea, but it isnt top tier tf2 shit, and the navi one isnt really that bad, its not like they bribed valve to put it in the game, and the kunkka hat is kinda outrageous, but nothing we havent seen before
im saying that every single patch, people automatically cry 'tf2fucktress is now dota 2, just wait for pink sven swords' and its really getting tiresome

It's a very goddamn valid concern. I mean, have you even seen how TF2 used to look? It had one of my all time favourite aesthetic, now it's a goddamn mess.
With a lot of the new items it seems to be going into [B]that[/B] direction, and I'm honestly somewhat scared about what'll happen.

I think one of the big concerns with all these ridiculous items being added in is that Dota 2 is somewhat of a serious game, even more so than TF2 was, if you ever considered TF2 "serious". Crazy hats and cosmetic items that make the game more goofy have a tendency to detract from the original mood and feel of the game, which I'm sure bugs people who are trying to enjoy the Dota 2 "experience".
EDIT: But then again, if an item is terrible and abhorrent, then nobody is going buy it, and then you aren't see it running around the game :V
[QUOTE=Kugeth;41619171]EDIT: But then again, if an item is terrible and abhorrent, then nobody is going buy it, and then you aren't see it running around the game :V[/QUOTE]Well, maybe. People may buy something if it attracts a ton of attention to them, even if it, or maybe because it is bad. That's what I'm concerned about, Valve letting through more and more poor or inappropriate items because they'll sell, and then it's too late to do anything about it, like TF2. That's why I feel it's important to speak up now, to let Valve know where the line is so they don't keep pushing it until it's too far gone.
It is true unliked items don't sell though. I haven't seen a single pamper void.

But the Cosmetics in Dota generally look like something that could have already been native to the game and always stay true to the hero's colour scheme. As long as they stay true to the original art style, I don't see a problem.

OH GOD IT IS IT HAS A BEARD
cool cover though
Cosmetics confuse players who aren't used to them. Since Dota 2 is my first ever experience of this genre, I played with bots a lot and read up on the mechanics of the game for months before going online. When I did go online, I could not recognise half of the heroes who were wearing cosmetics, it was very confusing, and this was not because I had only been playing with bots, mind you, I knew what all the heroes looked like.

yeah they didnt bribed valve but they did bribed community and that imho influenced valve decision making
look at this post from workshop of that item
[I]After the item is added to the game and it receives 10 000 likes, we will give away the following items among everyone who supports the set and post his or hers comment in the Steam Workshop: 30 х Queen of Pain: Succubus Sets, 10 х Na`Vi Hoodies and 10x Natus Vincere Jersey 2013/2014 Season.[/I]

I do hear similarities, but the dota music, is more underwhelming and subtle, while ut2004's is full blown explosion, man walking out of fire in slow motion without a scratch or burn.

You have to actually pay attention, it's subtle. Start a game, and when the horn blows, listen haha. Maybe it just went unnoticed all this time.

Thing is though, that's quite different from the others. I only ever hear two of the music pieces playing, and I know because i hum along every game :D

Perhaps it cycles between a few pieces, like the main menu. I heard it in an earlier game, so I thought I just wasn't paying attention through all my games up to then.
