1.0.17 Patch Notes

[Champen2tm]

Where can you see the new bloodlust/immortal/smackdown etc stats?

[kuroteH]

bad patch.

Shoulda just called in 1.0.16B. Got me all excited for useless balance changes and **** that doesn't matter.

[lykkesopp]

Can't find the killstreak stats? Is it somewhere secret? :P

[Gotteshand]

are u blind or what? push on "view statistics" next to your name on the top of the screen

[Spastard]

are you ****ing kidding me with tablet?

[c1ndeer]

If you have mods, that's the reason you can't see the killstreaks. Remove TSR/Mod Options and try again.

Mine are kinda bugged though.. No way in hell I've only gotten 4 Double Taps and no Quad Kills.

[MeVe]

But if you werent hit at the start you could get hit walking into it again.

Haters gonna hate.

In DotA flare work only for slow and sight, no one use it to do damage.

Fanboy will never learn.

[Lighthouse]

Good patch so far.

[T_T]

1.) What's the point of a Smackdown tracker (one that takes up a large portion of your statistics screen) if you don't have the taunt ability?
- Will there be a way to obtain the taunt function in the future?

2.) Why are stats so carry oriented? Sure Pierce is a great player and has great stats, but shouldn't Rondo get some credit for 24 assists in a game?
- Can we get some love for support players too? Longest assist streak before death? Wards countered? Ally healing done? Anything.

3.) Tablet of Command change? When would you ever use it now?
- Don't fix what isn't broken. Please.

I have the same questions and I want to let S2 knows that by adding this "kill streak" thing it is making the overall game more carry oriented, more KS oriented, less teamwork and less fun overall.


Now please answer me why would I(or anyone) play support(in pub) and have a K: D ratio of 0.6:1???



Kill: Death ratio tracking in HoN is just wrong, it is not COD for god sake :( .

[A09]

I can't see the killstreaks/smackdown stuff on my stats page or anyone elses, is anyone else having a similar problem?

[Vor]

My favorite part was when s2 listened to one 1500 player saying nerf tablet and ignoring the thralls of 1800+ players saying it was balanced.

[ISUSKRIST]

I'm maybe a bit late, but I was too lazy to come to forums. Just want to say about this last week (patch 1.0.15 to 1.0.17) - HALLOWEEN THING SUX BIG TIME.

I mean, ok, you may place some pumpkins over here and over there, or maybe put those spider webs and candles on the login, but completely changing creeps into some ridiculous walking pumpkins/mummies ? Making Devourer a f*cking clown ? putting candles instead of regular eye wards ???

I think its just too much, especially considering the fact it was implemented not 2 or 3, but 10 (T E N) days before the actual halloween sh*t.

Not to mention the fact that most Europe players actually dont celebrate it so hard like the USA folk - for example I personally dont care the slightest bit about all that stupid dressing in zombies and other crap.

After seeing all that garbage in one of my favorite multiplayer games, I just coulndt take it seriously any more, so I took a pause of approximately 2 weeks cuz I just cant watch it and play it with all that unnecessary halloween thingies all around.

I hope you will consider this and next time make less changes and implement them just a few days before halloween if you want it so badly, and not celebrate the stupid thing whole week (and even more) in the game.

thanks.

[Muxas]

nerf for tabled was unnecessary imo

[Archers_bane]

I dont know if this is answered already but the double tap immortal smackdown stats seen in the player statistics dropdown, is that supposed to take account all your games played? Or after a certain period because seems kind of off if its majority of my games

I have these same questions.
-S2Games if you could answer these questions..please

[NeedPants]

REBUFF TABLET. ty

[Dordanov]

Great patch, no whine from me :)

For the people wondering why their SmackDown / Immortal / Annihilation stats are so low:

All Smakdown/Humiliation and Killstreak stats are being counted from somewhere between october 22 and october 23 on. Stats from before those dates were not counted and will not show up in the listing, there is no way for S2 to get that data at this time. (Unless they are going to parse old replays, and that will be way too much work for some simple statistics).

Hope this clears up some of these questions.

EPIC SENSELESS WHINE! Just uninstall the game and play something else if you can't appreciate that work. Hopefully S2 doesn't care about people like you.

1) Taunt for all would be nice.

2) Let's wait if "Match Awards" are more support orientated. And if your a support player why you even care about KD?

3) Why should you be able to use tablet if your immobilized? Yeah, let's all "dodge" the stunned/immobilized position which is maybe tactically chosen by the opponents. You guys would even prefer to jump out of Chrono ult. It's hard enough you can push out Chrono with it, if your not "bubbled". Yeah let's make some ults useless with tablet!! This item is still imba when you know how to use it.

This community is the worst, full of whine, full of hate, chock-full of brainless people. Reminds me on dota community. Can you all just calm down and enjoy the game?

[LifeAngel]

I agree with you Absal0m, I the only thing that I want is that they add taunt all, since we also pay ... they before and we despues but equal we pay the same thing that they. And it is silly to manage and to see in the stats this glass with 0 smack downs and not to have the opportunity to do taunt.

[DutchFlame]

i know a much worse community tho. For a game called soldat. Try googling

[erax0r]

lol ive played soldat...never interacted with the community though. i didnt know u could even chat in that game.

[ISUSKRIST]

btw, new hero - Bombardier is worst yet. complete fail, from graphical design to voice and skills.

Further, why do we need smackdown stats if the majority of us cant use it ? Why do players who bought the game in beta phase so obviously have more respect from you than everyone else who also bought the game after it came retail, now more than half a year ago ? It's the same money, you know.

also, I'm still in a pause, just played a few games to check if there is still that Halloween sh*t present (note - today is 03.11.2010.). Won't play anymore at all until I see those webs from login screen are gone.


actually, every day I am more and more convinced that DOTA 2 will fkin PWN this game once it comes out.

The Halloween thing is fun and will be gone soon enough, not everyone could play on October, 31st and enjoy this so ... keep it a little longer, that is fun that way :)

And do not listen to such guys who always keep complaining about anything ..

[I_HateJuice]

Awesome Update .. Thanks

[GAdolphus]

Some heroes don't get lots of assists either :). But counter warding often helps more than a "skillshotted" ulti with deadwood. Harassing good might be better than a couple of creep denies.

S2 is just talking **** with their statements. "We want a team based game", "We want to balance the game for the highest tier", etc.. Psr and win% is the only 2 stats we need, rest is rubbish.

[Sandwiches]

Real quick question, because it just dawned on me I may've read this part incorrectly


:TabletOfCommand: Tablet of Command
- Can no longer be used while immobilized

Does this mean, for example, that playerA cannot :TabletOfCommand: ANY target while playerA is immobilized? Or is it just the target of playerA cannot be immobilized?

EDIT1 - Just tested. When under the effects of an immobilized, you get a "mini-perplex" on your Tablet. You can still tablet other players that're immobilized though.

EDIT2 - I hope, when the map editor gets released, you've updated all the item names to what they actually are. It took me a while to find PushStaff >_>

[TheFritzler]

:scou:loved all the uppdates! s2 good job. One thing tho I don't like is the new jereziah slow last one was just super! :(

[S3ptik]

These updates are coming super fast S2.
Don't blow my mind too hard.
