Those purple Greevils look amazing. My greedy (Green) Greevil turned out great too, it has glowing green eyes and the grass effect wherever it goes.

I enjoyed the diretide event and received so many item drops for my fav characters such as Drow and Tidehunter.
 
the new family members.

crack head naked is easily my favorite. lol
 
I didn't have much time to play after the first day, so mine is just a regular courier with no colors/effects, and due to that is the rarest of them all :P

While these are cool, I cringe at the thought of seeing these in every game, only in different colors.

By the way:

Aura one is mine, Air is my friend's.
I had 3 Unusuals, he had 1.
Seems identical in-game.

WTF VALVE

great news. that means I won't be spending a dime more on unusual essence.

Naked Greevil is the best.

It honestly is.

my blurry naked will forever be in my backpack.

a try-hard courier for all of us try-hard Dotaers.
 
How are you guys building Slark? I only played a bot game and went vanguard then skadi, which seemed good, but I wanted to check if there were better options.
 
Never really realized how good Veno was dealing with Undying's Tombstone. If you have a few wards up, they just murder the zombies as they spawn.


Also, Slark's Pounce is really good at first blooding people.

They made quite a team in Diretide.

My four couriers were green (favourite, probably), red, yellow and seraphic. Kinda wish I had left my last yellow one naked because that dude looks hilarious. Did anyone make a level 2 white egg? Wonder what that looked like.

In my bot game, I said "fuck your recommendations". Orb of venom > Treads > Yasha > Orchid > Sange > Skadi.

You can all laugh at me now.
 
This whole thing makes me sad, this is exactly why I dislike Valve's item shop model. An awesome looking courier that is both ridiculously expensive by now, and unobtainable by ways other than trade since the event is over. I don't like content that's effectively locked out from me from my point of view. That's exactly what ruined TF2 for me.

Not that I don't appreciate how brilliant it is as a way of milking money from players, it's genius.

Yeah, I like cosmetic items in games, I buy them in moderate quantities, and it bugs me that I'd have to dish out £50 worth of keys to get a courier. I hate the randomness of the drops, hate the chests and the keys idea and most of all I hate the fact that an unenjoyable (for me) monetization strategy is killing a little bit of fun for me in a game I love and will keep playing regardless. Sue me.

I like it. It's like "legacy items" for people who've been in the game a long time. An instant signifier on who's old school or not.
 
I like it too. The good thing is you can still get them through trade if you really wanted it. unlike that pos called Hand of A'dal which really bugs me because I wanted it so bad back then lol.
 
Oh wow I barely put any essences into my egg and I got a blue Greevil who is an unusual mythical courier. Cool.

Edit, oh I guess that's fairly normal. Still cool but I'll probably stick to Lockjaw.
