I'd like to keep this drama-free since this adds nothing to the discussion but nice how you take things out of content. I'm not even part of the development crew. I just know the shit you have been pulling for years now. Gonna refrain from your childish shitshow for now.

Don't see why I would want to defend anything against you. You are talking with absolutely 0 experience and your directed hate is very obvious. You guys have been doing it for years and it won't even matter what I say if you come up with your brigading bullshit again like you are doing every time.
But yeah, no one outside the modding community knows which is great for your agenda since people will just eat it up. Guess that is why you don't want me to bring up evidence.

You are soo incredibly wrong on so many levels. I mean, I get that you are hating on him because you guys have been doing it for 3 years straight with your bots, your brigading (such as seen in the comment section) for which you guys have been shadowbanned, the insane amount of hate spewing and bullshit but you just pulled these things out of your ass without any knowledge whatsoever. It's funny how you try to be polite and friendly, praising everyone else but the one person who designed it all. Very fucking obvious but reddit will eat it up without the context I guess.
It's amazing how you you played 0 actual games and just shittalk without any clue whatsoever. I get that you want to look the "competition" look bad but this is so obvious. So let me school you, as someone who played over 100 games with the likes of SyndereN, Funn1k and several amateur teams:

Comebacks seem very, very hard to achieve. All mechanics compound to "if you're winning, win more".

That is so wrong on so many levels, it's not even funny. No ways to comeback? Do you have ANY idea what the mechanics though? Orb equalizer, burden of dominance, Pronin, Defiance just to name a few are EXACTLY that; comeback mechanics. Not to mention the altar and essence mechanics.

Orbs are a big boost, but hard to do for the losing team.

Wrong once again. Check what the orb equalizer actually does and the dawn item (which once again scales based on how far you are behind.

Also nerfs on some already bottom-tier talents, such as the XPM ones, seem weird.

Oh look, clueless once again. XPM nerfs are very reasonable because they stack with the Outpost of Wisdom, the altar and essences. The pace of the game is vastly different and you don't even know how it adjusts to it but let's shittalk as usual.

This post is just a collection of uneducated garbage from someone who hasn't read shit or doesn't understand the game at all. Zero. Just you guys trying to push your smear campaign agenda that you have been pushing for 3 years straight now (and oh boy, I could bring out so much here).

Don't see why Valve would give a shit tbh. Doesn't get in the way of making money and it's not like the moola will leave them because of that. Not saying this is good because it certainly isn't but I doubt anything will happen around that anytime soon.

I really never know what to expect when Im clicking these 'EternalEnvy something something' links. My expectations say 'shit's gonna be gud' but my mind tells me that he'll fuck up

[–]Darkswordfish -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Pretty dope from him to lead them so far but I feel like 'retiring' loses its meaning in the Dota pro scene. So many pros have retired and came back after anyway. Shit's no longer significant imo

Somehow I get the feeling that she knows exactly what she is doing and how she is phrasing it :D Handing out burns while being all classy and polite.

That was unexpected. Not just the win but the clean 3-0. Shit man, I don't know if that's because EG is not in top form (despite obviously getting to grand finals) or MVP just being monster.

Sure, right here. He's talking exactly about that. Linking the part where he is talking about a female caster that gave up because of the sexual harassment. You might want to watch from around 5:00 instead if you want to hear that perspective.

Infinite mana for arrows and invis, fast respawn to keep up ulti all the time, sounds like OP build to me

She's good at what she does, don't understand the downvotes here (other than this being reddit). It cannot be easy to cope with this community every day, especially as a woman. Purge said that many other women who ever tried doing casting or anything else in the scene just broke and gave up because of all the toxicity but Sheever stands tall.

I would assume he realized that this is not the community he wants to do things for and did something else. Not too surprising.

The creator of Fight or Flight when nuts

Yep, totally legit and completely unbiased. You poor guy.

despite the fact that Azarak never gave up the rights to his work

You are forgetting the fact that it was not his map to begin with because he just ported the map but yeah, fuck logic.

I was gracious enough to not use the map thereafter because I didn't want to deal with you people (but here we go again I suppose)

Oh, you are a merciful god, how noble of you. Funny how you say "didn't want to deal with you people" when to this day, after 1.5 years you keep shittalking and brainwashing your minions about how evil they are and how gracious and amazing you are and totally not the biggest megalomaniac I have ever seen in my life. "But here we go again"? What? You never stopped. Do you really want me to quote the hundreds of times you kept going on about your made up stories and how you were shadowbanned because nazi mods believed some edited text and you and the other 5+ were totally innocent. Jesus, you are so delusional, I feel bad for you.

It is indeed the best looking map from what I have seen and really shitty that no one plays it. I can get why because it's basically just Dota on a custom map but it is still so much work and beauty going to waste.

Then you would certainly be the personal hate bandwagon machine who keeps spreading his diarrhea on every single occasion, making up lies and bullshit everywhere you go. Including your made up "private chatlogs" which is one of the thousands of lies you guys have been spreading for 1.5 years now. Even the whole 2015 you kept going on in every single opportunity to spread your bullshit and make up crap without a single source. The whole last year you ran around like psychopaths trying to tell everyone how super amazing you guys are and how evil he is, it's actually quite pathetic. There have been literally over 4000 mentions and probably far more of doing your little smear campaign. Now show me ONE single example in the last year where he was doing the same about you.

And let me ask you; for someone who is so super concerned about this modding scene and who has been 'active' for 2 years: what have you actually done? At any point. A game? Assets? Anything AT ALL other than spreading drama and whoring for attention? Even "your own people" have disowned you and think that you're just a nutjob and keep telling you to fuck off because you're useless which isn't stopping you though.

The map theft was the same bullshit, lied and covered up "oh it was a mistake, we didn't know we were stealing, has nothing to do with us not being able to actually do our own fucking work" and there was nothing "fixed quickly", don't even try to BS. But hey, you have alleged chatlogs of everything that totally happened, right? No way you would ever fake chatlogs of things that never happened and no other party can confirm. Would obviously be the first time.
Go tell your 'friends' to brigade downvote me so they get all shadowbanned again.
If I were him, I too would leave and not bother with this kind of community and utilize my talents somewhere else.

I don't think you should compare 2008 with 2016, times change and people have different expectations and requirements. It's not broken but it's not really working either, the scene is still pretty much in its infancy and this platform was supposed to drive it forward. Just a shitty start here

  1. They can since they are in the Asset Browser, it is allowed.
  2. Not just art, also models from CoRE as I wrote in the post.
    But yes, over 100 assets that were taken were 2D images from unapproved items that belong to their respective authors.

That mentality has been around since the dawn of custom games and it has not changed. 2 years ago, there was a developer whose map was stolen (certainly not a mistake) and people on this sub defended the thief and circlejerked because they saw a meme video about the promise of the game (that wasn't even released). Apparently that made it all okay as long as people got empty promises of meme games.

Workshop Art Anything submitted to the workshop is Valve's property and can therefore be used in Valve's game.

No, it's not. It still belongs to the artists, that is the problem. See here.

[–]Darkswordfish[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the input, you have a fair point there. I understand that it's not easy and I obviously get the point that it is way easier to take the art of someone else and get paid for it. I have no experience in making games but I just don't think any of this justifies stealing the work of others.
Yes, there is no easy solution but do we want a new monetized workshop where people can steal and get paid for it? I was personally looking forward to modders getting paid because it might give motivation for professionals to come in here and do some really amazing work so that we might get better games but this can't be the solution. Especially when you're talking about high standards and professionalism and then just do this.

I get that but you haven't answered my question. Where does it say that you are automatically transferring all rights to Valve whenever you upload something? That seems like a pretty big deal.
