Gedan's Hourglass - decreases Slows and Blind effect's duration. Mark of the Assassin - increases backstab damage. Pick mark if you stab/shoot butts, otherwise one of the first two.

Valve unlocked the game to all regions but they didn't unlock the dlc so it might show up as "This item is currently unavailable in your region". SLS are aware of this but can't fix it themselves.

There's nothing wrong with owning the Alchy even if she's on rotation. She's worth having on deck.

The reason not to own Alchemist, or any healer, is so you can always say "sorry I don't own any healers and don't know [rotation healer] well enough to play," like a true scumbag king.

Oh the other thing they're doing is buying any one of those packs in the next couple of weeks (basically their re-release hoo-rah period) get you the silver weapon for every champ. By and large worse looking than the gold quality weapons but a pretty nice bonus at that.

Played a six person in-house today with (mostly) new players, everyone had a blast and one of them said it reminded him of playing Mario Party with friends. Don't think I convinced anyone to pick up the starter packs, but just pugging a group out of dota irc seemed to work really well! Maybe if we get enough people in channel cute some week night or over the weekend we can pug some goon CTA! Minera fucked around with this message at 03:09 on Feb 3, 2015 |

Played my first game and somehow won 3/0. I think the other team didn't have a healer and all I did was spam heal on my teammates, so maybe that's why? This is fun, but with that in mind, how bad is the grind in this game, say, compared to LoL?

It's not bad at all, you'll be able to get full gems and medallions in a relatively short amount of time. If you want all the bloodlines then it's gonna take longer but frankly I never really cared about getting all the bloodlines compared to getting all the champions for League because it takes so drat long to really master a bloodline. Get one of every category that you enjoy playing and you're set really and can pick up the others at your own leisure. It is, however, still very dumb that all this stuff is gated behind gems and bullshit instead of baseline because it really hurts the Pure Fighting Spirit of the game.  Work with what we have I guess.

The old grind was at least on par with LoL, maybe worse. I have like 6 days played from the olden days and I had made enough blood coins to buy 4 champs. The grind is infinitely less now, to the point where I think they may have gone too far in the other direction.

I bought it and honestly don't even know what to do with all my blood money. Played a few rounds against some goons a little bit ago and what little skill I had is slowly coming back to me. I still can't play stalker and gunner for poo poo, but my reaver and Samus are as good as they ever were (not very).

My email has 2 keys in it for 2 accounts I apparently had and I can't remember which one I played on more, and I picked the wrong one. There isn't any benefit to having an older account right? I didn't spend any real money so if it's just bloodcoins, whatever, I can idle for them.

Did the Titan Edition have anything worth mentioning in it? I remember deciding it wasn't worth it back at the time, and I guess I was right in hindsight.Arzachel posted:You need 350 + 350~1500+1000(don't remember how much the passive medallions cost, lets say 1k) for the medallions and 12*1200 to stick perfect sapphires in ever socket. That's around 17-18k and can be gotten in about 3 days of casual play if you pop the free booster you get, or you can just use the cheapo sapphires for 12*100 and upgrade them later. No idea about the traits though. Traits are basically talents, you get them for leveling up. It isn't that bad to get stuff these days as you can get a ton of coins from idling overnight if you're into that.

Titan edition gave you every bloodline and cosmetic in game, everything added after the launch you got for free. Not sure whether titles/avatars were included in that. Something like the founders packs we get for a bunch of games now but far less off a ripoff. I think I was level 24 when the traits got added, so I'm not sure how the whole level progression thing works. I think you had to stick a bunch of bloodcoins to open up the tiers back then.

A couple things I've noticed from this new wave of players that might help out newer players here (and I'm fully aware that I'm in a glass house on these as well): -Probably the #1 biggest mistake you can make is to get boxed into the starting platform in an arena match. The arenas are pretty big and you really, really need that room to maneuver. If you get stuck in a corner and you've either blown your escape or simply don't have one, you're toast. The gut instinct is to run away from the other team, but there's nothing that's going to save you behind you, and there's nothing to be afraid of behind them. Get that room to move. -Hold onto your cooldowns until they're definitely going to do what they're meant to do. I'm guilty of just throwing things out uselessly much of the time, and it's really obvious how much worse that is when you run into people who get high impact out of them. Remember that your autoattack is the bulk of the damage you're going to deal most of the time. The tooltips aren't terribly informative unless you hold down shift, but if you have a look at them you'll see that most of your cooldowns do about the same damage or less than your regular attack so there's no point in trying to use them for damage. -Related to the previous point, healers can't ignore their autoattacks. Their damage is very relevant and usually comes with some useful buff or debuff. It's also probably a good idea to not play a healer until you're more comfortable with the game flow. They're much harder in general than the other classes and tend to get dogpiled at low levels, which feels really lovely. -Armored alchemist is the best outfit in the game.

Get that room to move. -Pick up the energy rune or at least don't let the enemy team have it for free. Having an ultimate up in nearly half the time or an extra ex move to work with is a huge advantage. I'd say it is worth getting at least a few games in as a healer even if you're new just so you know why rushing the enemy team 1v3 might not be the best idea

But now the game shits money at you and champs cost less, so it's a lot more bearable! The packs you can buy now are actually really solid. The warrior pack is $15 and unlocks every bloodline. In addition, it gives 30k blood coins, and 1200 gold coins, which is enough for a set of medallions and gems for general purpose. Here's how much general purpose gems/medallions will run: Meteor Shard - 650 blood coins Aegis of Gergan - 800 blood coins Law'Rence Fury - 1100 blood coins Perfect Sapphire - 1200 blood coins (x12) So by spending 16950 blood coins you'll unlock everything you need. The change left over will be enough to buy some alternate gems/medallions if your favorite hero should require something more specific. The general purpose medallions/gems tend to be the best choices for most heroes though. Oh yeah, plus I think the pack comes with some boosts, an avatar, and a title. The boosts being the big thing. I'm currently on the free boost I got from "coming back" to the game, and I've raked in over 100k blood coins just afking in a private lobby while doing work.

If you're trying to get coins by idling in private games then be warned that the servers will kick you if the match goes on for too long. I think it's either 90 minutes or 2 hours that the limit is at?

MOVIE MAJICK posted:Isnt there a limit to how much u can earn? There's a 50k hard cap on blood coins. As well, coin gains are capped at 50k weekly. Boosts disable this cap for the duration of the boost. If you played BLC before and link your account you get a free boost. Currently private games give 90% of the coins that real games do. It used to be much much lower. I'm honestly only farming these coins because it's easy and convenient for me. If I didn't buy most of the heroes in one of the original packs, I would have spent the $15 to unlock them all. This isn't the most efficient way to get everything unlocked, I'm just doing it because I can and it's not any extra effort. Compared to paying $40 to unlock 3 heroes, this is pretty reasonable as far as "Free to play" goes.
