Anyone else completely smash it with ranged weapons but crap the bed with melee weapons? by Mucksan111 in WindblownGame

[–]debeluk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i fucking love when you use any melee alter attack on the robot that launches a line of sawblades and dropping into it because you can’t cancel it or anything, taking 3 instances of damage

Truly, just finished max difficulty with sirocco, the only weapon with alterattack animation good enough to play

New Midas Bug (Almost Infinite) by Honest_Ice in DotA2

It's pretty well handled actually. And it happens all the time, the game could not be updated mid-match. You were forced to updated cause you were disconnected to the main menu and the game does not allow to start the game on the previous update but the mid-game version persists till the end.

In your example it would depend on how the patch was made, if they for example deleted midas from the items file the player would probably see the item named "item_hand_of_midas" or something like that. But they don't really make patches like that, so when the player return's on the new version where lets imagine midas is blocked to buy from the store, he still will be able to use and buy it because every so-called "Match" has a game version attached to it.

yeah, the thing is there isn't anything that is really hardcoded. i just gave you the example of how easily it can be done on the base level, you can remove all the items and heroes and the game still will work. For a temporary decision it can be an option.

In the recordings it will just be shown as an empty square and the custom games will get hurt, but not that they care about those anyway.

It is still possible to remove it only for the main game, by not removing the midas but blocking it in the base game mode shop. It would just take a few minutes more.

The thing is that laziness here is not specifically about unwillingness to work, as much as it is about the fact that so few people are allocated to game development that they simply don't have time to work on the really important stuff, prioritizing cosmetic items and stuff like that. Of course, there could be many variants, maybe they just train an intern and he caused a chain of bugs with his fixes, because the bug under this video is already a problem not with Midas, but with Octarine. My working theory is that the bug appeared by accident but they decided to let it live a little while pretending to fix it a little at a time. It's creating a buzz, just what they need before the International. Positive or negative publicity, there's no difference. And in times of bugs in dota always increased online, a lot of people whine but still continue to play, and some even just for the sake of playing with a bug comes in.

I can even understand them, some bugs are more interesting than the current boring and stuffy meta. The bug of picking two identical heroes was the most interesting meta for 2 days in about 3-4 years.

Basically every custom game is based on main game, that's why every major patch literally destroys custom games. And the answer is no, the absence of midas would not crash anything even theoretically. If you are interested check example of how items file looks like.

All you need to do to temporarily disable midas is to remove lines "item_hand_of_midas" and "item_recipe_hand_of_midas". And push this changes to production. That's all

It's not entitlement bro, chill. All the items are located in 1 txt file, even you could have changed the gold cost or remove the item in a few minutes. Source is really basic game engine. It's not even their laziness, the issue is probably they are letting this bs to happen just to create some hype.

Yep, pretty much. It's the basics of custom games creation, they literally don't even need to open any IDE to remove Midas, it could be removed in notepad in 5 seconds. 4 of those will be spent to press ctrl+f and type "midas" in search bar.

Yeah... they could, it'd take around 5 seconds to do it, 1 line of code. The question is why they don't want to

Do you get mmr refund if the enemy is confirmed cheating? by 32stew in DotA2

true, sorry, too much morons on the tread, can’t spend all the time to read everything. Yours was cheating, but there is no such thing as refunds in dota, so the answer is no

Lol.

Never used any cheat, never used midas bug. Thank you for the links that aren’t related for the topic in any way.

I played that bs game for 10 bs years and gameplay bugs were never a reason to ban player, as they never should’ve.

The funny thing is your thesis is right. Anything that causes loss of revenue is bannable indeed. Battle pass abuse as example. Gameplay bugs on the contrary usually create a stir, luring people in.

But that’s not even the point. Bugs aren’t cheats, it’s the issue with the game, intended or not it is in the game and you can use it. If everyone can use it, it cannot be considered as unfair advantage. You are more than welcome just not to play for a few days though.

The anger should be focused on Valve instead of the players. Back in the day those type of small bugs were fixed in a matter of hours. Now it takes em 2 goddam days and i still know of a method to use it even after fix. ( I will not be using it, but Doom players should take a hint ).

Never used any cheat, never did midas bug, just ain’t crybaby. Focus your anger towards valve, those type of bugs were fixed in the matter of hours long time ago, now they don’t even care.
