So I hatched my Voracious Egg with 3 red and 3 yellow and it came out completely purple. :/

 

[parasight]

My unusual effect was Por Air. Very hard to see the particle effect in game, but probably because I only had 1 unusual essence. My Purple one doesn't have a tail

 

[xanavi]

Oh god, the patch broke matchmaking for me. I'm stuck on the "A player declined the match" screen. I guess must just be server congestion.

steam brokored.

greevils came out slick.

also, my triple-essence natural is...woah.

Does seem like orange is more like orange+purple, though I havent seen any pure red/yellow yet.

Been playing again since Diretide, getting a bit sick of a) so many russians on the EU servers, b) smurf accounts who are clearly well above the newbie tier and acting smartasses about it.

Me too. Glad its not just me.

 

[tsunami643]

Time to sit on my unusual essence for a few days until people start clawing faces for them.

Mine's not even Orange+Purple, it's just pure purple, like the greevil on the far right in the image TheExodu5 posted above (but without the unusual effects). Mine was pure red/yellow.

I don't think you'll have to wait long, prices should be rising as we speak.

pretty much this. glad I still have 3 extra! (not that I need more stuff :-/)

edit: Greevil sabotaged Steam

edit2: really glad I didn't do yellow or green. wish I had done a blue as well.

 

[la flama blanca]

I shouldnt have hatched some of mine since now I know adding more essences gives it more detail. My yellow greevil is sooo boring looking.

 

[Cydonian__Knight]

Those unusual effects are incredible. I'm disappointed not a single unusual essence dropped for me during Diretide.

Just say you're going for Apple-esque minimalism.

 

[Silex]

God I'd do anything for a Shadow Essense right now.
Does anyone have a pic of a black courier with 3 unusuals?

go back one page, or scroll up

whichever you prefer

 

[elmariachi]

21 minute wait times...this for real?

 

[Silex]

It's the one in the middle in the picture in this page?

EDIT Yea took me some time to realize it's it, didn't look black enough to me at first.

 

[Painraze]

21 minute wait times...this for real?

the game just came back up i think

 

[elmariachi]

Yeah, numbers are not accurate, like 1 minute to find a game.

 

[JakkuFurosu]

I much preferred the pet thought over these.

Though like stated with this and the custom wards it should promote some more proper support play

I really want to make the second on the right here. Think it's straight red?

Anyone have 3 unusuals for trade/sale?

 

[RS4-]

Bah fuck, I shouldn't have hatched mine, only put one unusual on it lol.

 

[injurai]

Black with unusuals looked the best to me out of the ones posted so far. I'll have to check mine out later. I've got a red and orange one - no unusuals though.

Orange looks awesome.

 

[Tomat]

Just played the lowest tier game I think I have ever been in.

It felt like I was finally playing DOTA at a pace I could handle, but I was playing Pudge so it was awful anyway.

 

[la flama blanca]

just traded a timebreaker for 3 unusuals lol

 

[BHK3]

so essences are still around?

 

[sorijealut]

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

 

[woober]

Anyone want to trade their 3 unusual essences for a roshan courier?

 

[la flama blanca]

Anyone know how i can get the lava mouth greevil?

 

[Nelo Ice]

Anyone ever get the "failed to load launcher dll, specific module cannot be found" error? Friend is getting it and we've looked it up and can't find a fix.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Anyone know how i can get the lava mouth greevil?

probably like a bajillion dollars

 

[Artanisix]

Lava is orange i think

 

[BHK3]

Lava is orange i think

How many unusual essences does it take though?

 

[ink4n3]

How many unusual essences does it take though?

My orange with 2 unusuals has "flam ambience"

 

[NinjaBoyLao]

How many unusual essences does it take though?

3 unusual essence, 3 red, 3 yellow and i don't know if it matters but mine also have 2 blue. the Lava is called Flam Aura.

 

[Firebrand]

Unusual Voracious Greevil - 3 red, 3 yellow, 2 blue, 1 unusual.

Not so crazy about the purple bits, but eh. Wish I had more unusual essences for the glowing eyes, that looks really cool.

 

[BHK3]

3 unusual essence, 3 red, 3 yellow and i don't know if it matters but mine also have 2 blue. the Lava is called Flam Aura.

So 3 red 3 yellow 3 unusual=lava mouth? Thats the only greevil I want.

 

[docbon]

Pretty happy with my purple greevil. B)

 

[Deadly]

Man the purple one looks so much better than in how it was in the previews... Wish I had gotten one

 

[injurai]

Thats how they all turned out to be. I only went with orange for the tiger stripes, but no stripes

Just played Slark. As I suspected, Medallion is amazing on him. So far I'm going Tango, Salve, QB. Get a Stout Shield with the first CS, build it into a PMS. Then either start building Boots then Medallion then finish Treads, or build a complete Medallion, then build Treads. I skipped Vanguard, which didn't seem to be too bad, but that may have been because we were stomping them silly. After Treads and Medallion, start making a Diffusal. I'm not sure what to do next as we won after that, but I'm sure something like a BKB would be ideal. You can also throw in an OOV early on for extra annoyance, but I wouldn't let it be the Orb of choice for the whole game.

Gameplay involves being hyper aggressive in lane. Pounce is way too good of a skill and I maxed this first, then Pact, with one in Essence Shift. If you get someone like a CM or Rhasta or Lion to babysit you, the lane is probably going to be a joke. Once you Pounce someone, if they or their lane mate starts turning to you, trigger Dark Pact, otherwise you can usually use it to guarantee the kill once the leash breaks. Once you hit 6, basically just play him like Gondar. Switch to INT treads when you're on the move because he has significant mana issues and switch to STR when you're going in for the kill.

 

[NinjaBoyLao]

So 3 red 3 yellow 3 unusual=lava mouth? Thats the only greevil I want.

yup.

EDIT: Game client is out of date when in game but Steam say it's already updated :/

 

[docbon]

Is anyone getting the "out of date" message even with the most recent patch? Can't party up or join a game. 8(

Same here

Just had my first game as gyrocopter and he is a lot of fun. Easy to farm with, especially with Vlads, decent stun, but biggest issue is his delayed attacks. I do play a bit of Kunkka so used it it.

Would recommend to anyone starting out the game.

 

[Tomat]

I just played an even lower tier game as Dark Seer. I did nothing right.

Our Axe couldn't see colors and bought a second courier.

Shit was bad. Real bad.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

haha. price of unusual essences have officially quadrupled in price.
