navi has bad picks or they are playing bad i dunno anymore

lol update mid game nice

 

[JustinBB7]

Gonna wait for a friend to come online to play, but just looked at the menu and it looks pretty! My Purple Greevil has:

Skills:

Degreevilfly
Greevildict
Greevil Nova

Stats:

30% Crit
+30 Magic Armor
+20 Attack Damage

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

The thing I was checking was if Bounty Hunter's Track still showed the armor reduction icon (since it no longer reduces armor), and yes, it's still there, the same as you see when Slardar uses his ult. They may want to fix that eventually.

 

[Reynx]

Greevil's skills change according to the essences they have. Apparently dreaded Greevils have ridiculously high HP as well.

My seraphic greevil:
Greevice Wall - Ice wall
Greevill Missile - VS stun
Greevilication - Purification

Essence bonuses:
30% crit chance
+60 Move speed
+60 Attach speed
+300 health
+30 magical armor
+20 attack damage
+4 physical armor


Edit: Also, the river is ice and you slide on it!

 

[la flama blanca]

Have 3 3xunusual greevils including a dreaded one, joy

 

[theMrCravens]

Hope this event drops essence.
Missing one for my unhatched seraph egg.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

New announcer is great. No idea what voice it could be though. In both regular and Greevling.

 

[Moaradin]

It does. Just won my first game. It's awesome and you get a chest at the end. Mine dropped a wex essence.

 

[xanavi]

My greevil has level 1 rot, level 2 void bash, level 2 blood lust with 10% chance to crit and +40 attack speed. I guess he's troll warlord?

 

[JustinBB7]

Also this will make a lot of people happy:

GENERAL

- Added a toggle option for Chat Message sound
- Fixed day night images being incorrectly rotated
- Updated Timbersaw's recommended items
- Fixed lifetime timer alignment
- Adjusted Chat Message sound level

Cyborgmatt tweeted Tuskar, not sure though.

[Moaradin]

It's Tuskarr. The voice refers himself as that.

 

[TheThunder]

My greevil is a naked useless piece of shit because I never played diretide.

[Gowans]

first game done, winners got nice gifts losers naughty

 

[snack]

Frostivus Gift - Nice

What is this?

 

[Deadstar]

first game done, winners got nice gifts losers naughty

How long is the mode?

Do you get two items if you win like diretide or only one? Are they guaranteed drops?

 

[Moaradin]

Frostivus Gift - Nice

What is this?

Open it and collect your presents.

How long is the mode?

Do you get two items if you win like diretide or only one? Are they guaranteed drops?

My game lasted 15 minutes, and that's with nobody knowing what to do.

 

[Artanisix]

HAHAHAHA MY GREEVIL IS TROLL WARLORD

Phantom Strike
Time Lock
Bloodlust

+30 Crit
+60 Attack Speed

 

[shira]

Ugh, as I expected Disruptor's mount is Mythical and super expensive.

Oh well.

Aww looks not as nice in motion

 

[snack]

Do the greevil's abilities depend on the customization of it?

 

[JustinBB7]

Do the greevil's abilities depend on the customization of it?

Depends on what Essences you put in there yeah.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Woah those red greevils are annoying as shit. Magic Missile, time lock and lina's ult.

 

[BigAT]

How long is the mode?

Do you get two items if you win like diretide or only one? Are they guaranteed drops?

I think everyone is guaranteed one item, winners get a better chance at a good item. My first item from an "uncommon gift" (losing team) was a two hour battle bonus.

 

[dorkimoe]

so you play as them? Normal mode?

home in hour and a half, cant wait to see what my 3 greevils have

 

[JustinBB7]

so you play as them? Normal mode?

You have to clear out camps of greevils, and you can transform your hero into a greevil, I guess that's needed to clear out camps.

But it's still 5vs5, team that clears out the mosts camps the fastest wins or something.

 

[snack]

sweet!

 

[Gowans]

How long is the mode?

1 and about 15mins

 

[BigAT]

-You can switch between your character and your greevil whenever you want (using an item).

-You have to kill randomly spawning camps of greevils (NPCs)

-First team to clear 11 camps wins

 

[undu]

Do the greevil's abilities depend on the customization of it?

Yes, I think it depends on the order you put the essences too. Not all "normal" seraphics are equal.

-You can switch between your character and your greevil whenever you want (using an item).

-You have to kill randomly spawning camps of greevils (NPCs)

-First team to clear 11 camps wins

-There's no money, items go to people when a gift box is opened

(I got 2 yashas, a mordiggian and an assault cuirass"

 

[xanavi]

HAHAHAHA MY GREEVIL IS TROLL WARLORD

Phantom Strike
Time Lock
Bloodlust

+30 Crit
+60 Attack Speed

oh man, yours is a way better version of mine

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Okay, essences can drop in this mode. Just got a red one out of my first match's gift.

 

[Moaradin]

I did pretty awesome with my purple greevil. It has Veno's Ult, Venge's Stun, and Jugg's Bladefury :lol.

 

[DarkKyo]

OMG!! The new mode is sooooo fun. I'm really going to miss this when it's gone. I like it more than Diretide even.

Here is my 3x unusual dark greevil in his golem form o_o

 

[Conceptor]

oh my god I can't wait to try this.

 

[dark_inferno]

Woah the game just ends in 18 minutes and everyone gets items. (Naughty and Nice. Nice for winning (higher chance for getting good items lol) and naughty for losing) Lets get 100000 items in one day guys.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Definitely gonna buy a couple sets of wards at half off.

 

[HomShaBom]

Woah the game just ends in 18 minutes and everyone gets items. (Naughty and Nice. Nice for winning (higher chance for getting good items lol) and naughty for losing) Lets get 100000 items in one day guys.

I think it ends when it's clear someone is going to win. Right now we're at 23 mins tied at 7.

 

[Moaradin]

Holy shit. You slide around when you go on the frozen river! It's hilarious seeing everyone lose control of their character.

 

[xero273]

oh my god I can't wait to try this.

i gave all my essences to you. you better have a top tier greevil!

 

[Reynx]

Holy shit this game mode is insanely fun. Feels like those who have good greevils are at a very distinct advantage though. Perfectly fine by me and my seraphic

 

[DarkKyo]

Also I'm coining it right now. This little guy's name is Greesus.

 

[Drkirby]

I got a 2 hour battle point bonus? What?

Also, what abilities do your Greavals have?

Blue: Magic Missile, Ice Wall, and BLACK HOLE
Orange: Decrepeify, Fantail Bonds, and Echo Slam


Also, I don't really get how the Graval Blink dagger thing works.

 

[Gowans]

I got a 2 hour battle point bonus? What?

me too but instead of 75% its 200%!!!!

 

[Reynx]

Got an action item - Kindler's kit. No idea what it does...

 

[RS4-]

My greevil has bash, blink strike and echo slam. Lolol.

Got some kindle fire.

 

[Vastag]

Holy shit. You slide around when you go on the frozen river! It's hilarious seeing everyone lose control of their character.

That caught my by surprise, I didn't realize what was happening.

Also, sheraphic greevil rocks

 

[Stahsky]

Magic missile, rot, and purification on mine. pretty nice set

 

[Deadly]

So I'm guessing greevil eggs are back? I'm getting all my friends to give theirs to me this time

 

[Drkirby]

me too but instead of 75% its 200%!!!!

Mine is still 75%! Damn you Valve!

Well, I'll be playing a shit ton of this after work. Hope you can get more eggs somehow, and people figure out which eggs give which abilities. I do love my 30 Second black hole though. I wonder if the abilities are random or not though.
