They won't disappear any more.

 

[Guesong]

Just logged on and so if anyone wants red, yellow blue essences, find me on steam (Bacon of Hope) and I'll be giving em out till they're gone.

I don't see you! >_> Are you in the lobby or literally just on Steam?

 

[GorillaJu]

Ah, yes.

Well, I tried sending you a message, but it didn't work for some reason. >_> I'll have to try again later, tyvm steam

 

[Complex Shadow]

FUCK YES. game after game, tears after tears.

now someone please tell me how this works, is it unusal first then shadow or the other way 'round?

also i have 2 blues, 2 reds, and 1 wex.
if want them all, just give me the shield of drake for dragon knight.

 

[Risible]

Looking for opinions - do you guys think it'll be better to have one egg with 3 unusual essences or 3 eggs each with one unusual essence?

Shadow then Unusual.

edit: oh, and essences are pretty oversaturated, aren't worth much.

 

[Complex Shadow]

1 egg with 3 unusuals, but make the other 2 unique (purpule egg, green egg, etc)

BUT ITS JUST AN OPINION.

Shadow then Unusual.

thank you. is the bug fixed yet btw?

 

[Exuro]

Brother just got a Speed Demon courier in a game of diretide. So lucky.

 

[Moaradin]

My friend just got 3 couriers in a span of 5 games. Tegu, War Dog, then Froggy. So jealous lol.

 

[Milabrega]

Finally got to play diretide. Fun mode got two uncommon items my first game dunno if that's good or not.

 

[GorillaJu]

I think they actually improved drop quality for the last day of Diretide as a kind of finale. I got a courier, mythical weapon and an unusual after a week of getting absolute shit.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Finally!

Not sure if this was posted but goddamn...that's some epic micro'ing...

Anybody know the matchid for this?


E: Found it. 59966865

 

[Tomat]

Accidentally queued for a normal game instead of an Diretide.

I don't know what happened but I liked it. (I'm the MLG doritos guy)

 

[Archie]

Pendragon is going to finally restore the Dota-Allstars site.

Good for him.

 

[evlcookie]

I'm using diretide to have a lot of fun with zeus at the moment.

I'm building mana boots then straight into bloodstone. After that it's orchid, which is mostly for the rosh fight but it's kinda fun on zeus.

I have no idea what to build with my egg and all these boring essences. Not a single unusual has dropped in any of the games i've played. My crappy bracket must be jinxed.

 

[G-Unit]

Bye diretide, I wont miss you

 

[The Last One]

I really need two more unusual essence =/

 

[Stahsky]

Anyone got a spare red and/or blue essence? ID: Stahsky should be it. Could be my current name: Lost in Trainstation

I can trade a couple of things, if need be.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Shadow then Unusual.

edit: oh, and essences are pretty oversaturated, aren't worth much.

actually, it's unusual then shadow.

but the bug may have been fixed allowing unusual to be added after shadow.

 

[Haly]

Bug is fixed, you can apply Unusual Essences on Dreaded Eggs now.

 

[Tomat]

Finally reached 200 hours of DOTA2.

Only 5 of them are actual playtime, the rest is all "Tomat Time."

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

I wish they'd release the death prophet announcer pack already.

 

[Stahsky]

I will be happy when this diretide stuff is over. I need like one red essence if anyone is willing to trade or share =)


I really like the design of Slark, too. Eager to see him in-game.

 

[Complex Shadow]

man this thing better eat thunder and shit lightning or something.

I've got some you can have. I'll hop in the GAF channel, name is tomat.

 

[Bacchus]

Holy did anyone watch the Merlini stream just now? He just got wrecked mid, by Sniper player named kyan. By the end of the game the sniper had more kills than Merlinis team combined..jebus

hahahahahahahahhaha

 

[Artanisix]

1. Sniper is a good hero and people who still deny it are delusional.
2. fucking meeruzuki

 

[Bacchus]

Why isn't he used in competitive games? I was amazed by how the sniper was able to last hit so well. Even Merlini said he last hitted like a champ. I need to watch this match again.

 

[Artanisix]

He's been used by Na'Vi and iG several times now in October/November alone. He's really vulnerable to popular picks like Templar/Bounty but he definitely has his niche.

 

[Stahsky]

Oh, thanks for the offer. I finally got my last one, so I'm all set. I ran off to eat and forgot to check here.

Thanks though. I appreciate the help from the two dudes who traded me essences earlier!

 

[SamVimes]

What do you need for a green egg?

 

[Drkirby]

What do you need for a green egg?

Equal parts Blue and Yellow, and to have more Blue/Yellow then red.

 

[Cydonian__Knight]

Just played Zeus in Diretide...so much fun! If you can get a good start he's crazy good. Got first blood at 30 seconds, which snowballed into a 6 minute Bloodstone, 10 min Aghanim's, 16 min Refresher.

 

[Procarbine]

I was gonna post earlier when I saw the talk about merlini, but now I gotta. That one clip made him look pretty good, and I know he's regarded as a pretty good player, but I've never seen the guy win. I feel like I've won almost every game I've played against him, and he's always losing when I spec friends playing him. And azuki wrecking him, lol, didn't realize he was playing again.

 

[SamVimes]

Equal parts Blue and Yellow, and to have more Blue/Yellow then red.

Meh. I don't think i'll make it, i instantly put an exort in my egg as soon as i dropped it and i only have 1 quas, 1 wex and 1 exort.

Oh well.

 

[Drkirby]

The essences won't expire, so you can just try and trade for them later if you still want green. Does make me wish I held onto more, but oh well, not like I really need them. I am sure the Grevals won't be worth much.

 

[Silex]

man this thing better eat thunder and shit lightning or something.

I'm so damn jealous...
Can't get a shadow essence for the life of me.

 

[sorijealut]

Guys, please tell me if you have any unusual essences!

I'm pretty sad for not getting +2 more layers

Also, I'm mad at all these useless essences that has piled up.

 

[Zzoram]

Is there not going to be a free way to watch atoD 2?

 

[Pureauthor]

Pretty sure it'll be streamed by Tobi.

 

[Zzoram]

Pretty sure it'll be streamed by Tobi.

Then what's the point of buying the in-game tickets?

 

[Pureauthor]

Then what's the point of buying the in-game tickets?

Same reason as any other tournament - Dota TV is the best viewing experience.

That, and those tickets directly contribute to the prize pool.

 

[tsunami643]

Then what's the point of buying the in-game tickets?

So you can watch replays on demand, chat in-game with other specs, support joindota, and change spectator cameras and stats whenever you want. This has been the case with every ticketed tournament.

 

[Zzoram]

Oh, that sounds really cool.

 

[ilold]

any one has unusual and willing to trade? yak courier for 2 unusual

 

[Firebrand]

"Roshan has been slain, claim your treats... actually, you get nothing because the item servers are down. Again."

 

[Gowans]

I have one egg filled with one red, blue and yellow. A empty egg & a unused red essence.

Should I dump that essence in the empty egg?
