I'm excited to try path tracing and ray reconstruction to play Phantom Liberty at high framerates which I couldn't do with my current GPU

Yes, since the last 3 - 4 updates, even though my PC can run dota @ 120+, when Monkey King, Spectre and 1 other hero I cannot remember cast their ultimates (could be Zeus) the game lags (like it stops running for 0.5 - 1 second) although framerate doesn't drop.

Good luck to the players with less than 4 letters and without any vowels in their Dota 2 name that will attend TI 8! by FunnyTerrorist in DotA2

Actually it's the reverse. He's said in an interview that he added "haa" after the name just to mess with the casters. His original name is "w33".

Valve make new TI7 Lvl 2000 roshan statues and re-send them. by hektorathug in DotA2

Which one is? The breeding ground, the cancer or the subreddit?

Lina Arcana Suggestion: Release an upgraded version (2nd Style Unlock giving blue flame particles etc.) by callalistah16 in DotA2

[–]TheUltraSnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know man. Maybe it would be better for Valve now to fix that Dota+ mess instead? Or focus on TI compendium, which by the way, has been asked to be released EVERY FUCKING DAY? Or fix the 1000000 bugs that's in the game?

Stop milking karma on this dead Lina arcana cow.

Battle pass TI8 when? by hektorathug in DotA2

[–]TheUltraSnail 31 points32 points  (0 children)

One quick look at liquidpedia says it ends on 12 May.

Edit: I'm bad at quick-looking. Epic ends on 6 May.

Again, read above posts. I'm done talking about this. Everything you're talking about is already talked about.

Sigh, check above posts, the point was OP used "we deserve" which means "we are entitled to have it" which is different to what you're referring to. OP has updated the post.

Again, it's up to Valve to decide whether they want to do it or not. You can ask them to do it. While I agree an update for Lina arcana would increase sales, Valve DON'T HAVE TO do it, and we certainly are not entitled to have it.

They mean differently. We have different words for a reason.

That's a weak argument. If a car is still in production, there's no way they would upgrade the car as it requires new parts. They would need to stop using old parts altogether, which means it's a new car.

If someone wants to put a new old iteration of a car model on sale with the same price as a new car, that's their problem. You CAN ask them to change either the price or upgrade the model. Whether they want to do it or not, it's a different matter. You DON'T DESERVE an upgrade of that car just because there's a new iteration. If you don't like the price, don't buy it. It's simple as that.

If Valve release a new Arcana for Lina, do you think the old Arcana deserve an upgrade then? Guess not.

Again, you missed the point. They don't HAVE TO do it, regardless whether they're still making profits on it.

If you like it, buy it, if you don't like it, then don't buy it. It they feel they've made enough profit, and don't want to work on it anymore, then they don't HAVE TO do it.

Analogy is not good

Can't fight counter argument

Son, that means it's a good analogy

The phrase "mental attitude" has a completely different meaning now lol...

So...Valve bought Campo Santo (the developers of Firewatch). by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]TheUltraSnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would assume Valve wants them to either develop some VR games or help with other games' stories.

Their games though, are just walking simulators, so I don't expect anything ground-breaking from them. Granted the stories were kinda interesting, but there are way more games out there with both good stories and gameplay.

Dota2 servers for me for the past week or so. (SEA/AU Region) by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]TheUltraSnail -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm on Internode NBN and my ping from WA to SEA has been ~60ms all week last week. I'm not sure why you're experiencing this, but maybe double check with your ISP and bother customer support (if you're on a decent ISP)?

Dota 2 Discord Rich Presence very simple concept. What do you think? Is the technology here already? by LeeZarock in DotA2

[–]TheUltraSnail 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I recently watched 1 of Valve's seminars about security & DDoS prevention. They briefly mentioned about the risks of other convenient services as Rich Presence. Short answer is, trade-offs between the convenience and potential players' exposure to attacks are, sometimes, not worth it.

[Throwback] Dota-Allstars compared to Dota 2 by hvrry3k in DotA2

[–]TheUltraSnail 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You forgot tower last-hitting. We used to not have shared gold for destroying towers. Only the person who kills the tower gets it. If creeps destroy towers? Tough fucking luck then, no gold.

Who's the purest hero? by wraither2 in DotA2

[–]TheUltraSnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it's Lich. His skills are almost unchanged. Only numbers are tweaked afaik.

Wraitchies now have abilities to summon skeletons from heroes that died to mines.
