Yeah, I played about 9 or so games tonight and I got 3 rares and a handful of common/uncommon. Really want a special courier though.
I <3 you man, I'm hoping I can get in if its lasting till the 11th, just not much. Tou know baby's and time.
A guide about what essences effect your egg. It also said that not only does it affect the color, but also their other parts (hair, teeth, eyes etc.)
Essence drop for losers too
Just happened to me
Is anyone playing on USW? I'll join up and we can dominate for sure.
I'm just imagining Gibonez saying "Zombies got this!" as he plays Undying, like the time that he died, I was Spectre, and his tombstone was up, and I finished off an enemy hero and he said "Why'd you steal that? Zombies got this!"
Wake up, Dota 2 160MB update... feels good.
Can't wait to play this with my friends, looks like it need some sort of balancing though maybe haha. Really wish the achievement system was in the game already so we could have gotten Halloween 2012 achievements and every year after that like with TF2.

Doesn't count, shows up in your History.
Just ran into a 5man queue where people just went on their lanes, amassed candies on couriers (or somewhere along the like), at times "backdooring" our bucket and running away with force staff / blink then tping away, their bucket was at 0 candy for over 19 minutes and in the end they stashed 90+ there in an instant. Luckily we ran into one of their couriers midway and snatched 20ish of their candies and won in the end (94-115 or something), but christ that was a boring match. Why is that even possible -_- Everything about diretide seems so exploitable, I think I'll just stick to normal dota regardless of item drops.
Yeah, a guy on my team just did this. Ended up 0-96 in favour of us. Honestly wouldn't think it works because putting in candies gives gold and xp. Though illusions really shouldn't be able to attack the bin.

4 Rapiers and Aghs on Windrunner = the way to go for Roshan.

The downside is that Roshan considers each Meepo a valid source to beg candy from.

This mode is crazy fun. Reminds me of the old WC3 custom games days.

Probably disappear after Nov 11.
That's a shame, seems like a fair amount of work has gone into it! Such a busy period, Assassin's Creed today, Natural Selection 2 today, Halo4 next week and now this. Too much to play, too little time!

Of course they'll take it down on the 11th, I'm out of town from the 3rd to the 11th -.-
Will have to stock up on items before Saturday.

Enjoying the game mode but don't know how much I'll get to play it but I did manage to score a Baby Roshan Courier out of the holiday crate, kind of makes up for losing when I had a squiggles (tide hunter offhand) on the line in an earlier game.
My go to heroes for the new mode are Nyx or Windrunner as provide plenty of stuns. But Nyx with Eth blade and dagon just hide invisible need your candy spawn and kill off the enemy after they have taken a few candies seems to be working a treat if the rest of the team works well.

It's the funnest damn slot machine ever made.
I think somewhere on the halloween page it says this is the first seasonal/holiday map. Hinting that there will be more. I'm 100% sure there will be a winter map at some point.
and I'm gonna love it
On the blog they mention this is their "first" seasonal map and they're looking for feedback, so presumably there will be more.
That said, I'm expecting some kind of alternate permanent mode by Summer, but that it will give out loot at a normal rate.

Will the Halloween chest potentially drop from a normal game of Dota?

Explain this to someone who hasn't played it yet? Why so?
I would think so
I hope we get a Xmas update with candy canes an presents and Santa roshan
Images can get the candy; stealing the drops gets far easier (and more annoying if you're on the receiving end)
Easy to nerf though, if Valve wants too.
Valve is the walter white of the video game world. Their games are the purest form of digital crack.
I can't wait.
You think? Unlike TF2 where Items mean something, Dota2 is just flooded with cosmetic items. No real need to lower the rate. Chances are you won't even get what you want.
That was/is painful to experience over and over.
No all heroes get the same chances for drops. They are just better at collecting candy, which is the score for the first half of the game.
