It appears I should refresh the page before posting comments that have become irrelevant.
Best I've probably had was my Genuine Shagbark when I bought the plushy, then CM Arcana came out and I sold it to buy that.
I remember when I got together with some guys here and we tried to get the platinum baby roshan courier by getting a high score in diretide.
my karma have tend to mess with me with this kind of rewards:

The next day after i accidentally crafted it (my goal was that jurge dredd's am set) valve disabled fall compedium and all it's freatures, and so i lost my final chance to get the [B]non-golden[/B] variant as a pair, this fact still kinda frustrates me
Get it off the market?
Everything you could craft from fall compedium is permamently untradeable, unmarketable and for some reason also ungiftable, which is a total bullshit.
Limited p2w for custom games? Really? Couldn't they just make a cosmetic hat with effects or something simmilar to mapstamps in tf2...
Then again if those freatures (perks) are going to be cosmetic only, i'll have no problem with that.
...hmm actually there are the bonus perks, doesnt look op...

Paying for mods all over again!

What percentage of the sales goes to the map creators?
I see this in a very cynic way honestly: "get more money with the excuse of supporting map devs"

70%, valve takes the standard fee of 30% ([url]http://www.dota2.com/customgamepassfaq[/url])
If that is the standard
Dota 2 is supposed to be a free to play game and paying for gamemodes kinda fights against that principle.
Oh hey I JUST talked about more disgusting penny pinching ways. Well fucking done Valve.

Well that's not so bad then, I have mixed feelings about this.
30 days subscriptions means you will have pay more than once, but also that map creators have to keep updating and working on their maps. I am also expecting drama , if someone uses stolen content, or adapts a map from W3 :v:

[quote] Q: Will games still be free to play?
Yes. All custom games will still be available for free, even if they offer Custom Game Passes.

Still find the "pay for cool features dude!" disgusting.
[QUOTE=Suttles;49938087]i don't see a problem with this, its a very small investment and the effects barely matter unless if you play the game mode a shitload, in that case a $1 investment for something you put many hours into doesn't seem insensible.
Think of it an investment in the mods future, which if its something you care about shouldn't be a problem. If you don't care about paying for a small bonus and supporting the dev, then that's fine. The game mode will still be 100% enjoyable.
It also helps other players, so it's not like you will loom over them.[/QUOTE]
I don't see any problem either with paying to the creators themselves, is the "Extra Features" part that just pushes people into giving money just to play that game and not for actually supporting the creators. Even if it's a small difference like 100 gold or something like that, that's just up to them, and nobody knows how's that gonna be managed to begin with, maybe it could be "You get Refresher for each dollar" like that Bloom festival.
If i want to support a custom game developer for his map, i'd donate him a dollar through Paypal or something, because with this thing, you're forced to split the donation with Valve, what if I don't want to give anything to them and just pay the creator only.
In short: It's just another excuse to cash in on people, no matter if it's just 1$ or 10$. People aren't angry because they have to pay to the Custom game developers money (I'm aware that you don't have to pay anything at all), It's the action itself by Valve.

only select mods can. Im guessing it would be those with dedicated servers.

Donations will never come in enough without incentive. That's why twitch alerts is so huge.
Plus, this encourages more well made customs to be created now that there's a monetary incentive and possibly more players since they want to take advantage of their battle pass.
Where's the bad in this system, besides maybe the cut being not so good for developers.
The shit you get for paying may not even be power ups. Maybe custom cosmetics like donations on tf2 and csgo servers.

User created customs =/= official game modes. And they're still free anyway so this is stupid to bring up.
It's like saying dota isn't free to play because cosmetics cost money.

Holy shit I really want the legion and undying sets, and all of those sets look really good and have an interesting theme without being too stupid/unfitting
those sets are so good someone could tell me they were alternative character concepts and I'd believe it
I saw a Vanguard AM today. Nice little blast from the past.
It's funny how builds become super optimised over time.
