2.0.7 Patch Notes

[GlemSom]

So, when will this patch be released? (2.0.6.2)
It's still not available for download...

[SkryZr]

gud patch

[mtK]

2.0.6.2

You forgot to remove votekick. Just sayin...

[Stormnight]

Good Patch! Thanks

Yeah... and me thinking they would fix Gladiator's voice back to normal
seriously, the new voice sux

I agree, :glad:'s voice is awful like the weird sounds :pest: do now

[liquad]

i see that 2.06.2 fixed reconnection issues. I faced that problem yesterday, and now i have +1 leave. This is pretty much for me, coz i played only 33 games and that's my first leave(2.7%). Mb u can remove it? If one very kind person havent explained me about ctrl+f8=>"reconnect", i would have +2 leaves... Pls, remove me 1, coz that was not my fault...

[gotwilk890]

Could you allow a vote to concede if two or three of your players leave the game in the first 3 min. It blows when you have to face 5 players for 30 min. with no team.

[mtK]

If two in your team leaves the game, you can leave too without punishment?

[SilverBullet]

SO stupid with kick system! IN my last game they kicked me for fun..
9 of 10 people agreed to kick you for fun?? , i don't think so.

[mtK]

No 4/9 players kicked him for fun, other 5 players didn't even know why they kicked him.

[painkiller`]

Is it just me or does HoN (Mac) not auto-update to 2.0.6.2? The "Download" link at the top too points to 2.0.6.1.

[OldFox]

kewl.(not rly) well.. iwont play dis game till u delete this f votekick and makeconcede only with 5 ppl.

[Emptronic]

i think we're all better off because of it

[Ryuzakku]

i think we're all better off because of it

Not really...

Example: US Servers:

"I'm Brazillian" = kick
"I'm Canadian" = kick
"I play support" (also known as going -kdr) = kick

[orangeju1ce]

For team match making, can you make it so if you want to invite friends to a group, there's a button to click to invite friends to your group instead of having to right click them into the group?

[Lovely_Beer]

Still cannot reconnect after dc from a game. ****ed pretty much games for me. Well, Wont rage anymore, cya HoN o/ (deinstalled)

[Ayano]

Don't you people do any code audits?
I mean how can you break something that has been working all the time with a patch that has nothing to do with it? And how can you not test the patch before releasing it?

Next up, I didn't even get this "ominous" .2 patch, I just got kicked out of a game because my internet went down for a second and now I can't reconnect will get a leave for it. I remember a global announcement yesterday in-game which said "eta about two hours", its more the 18 hours now and the issue is still unresolved.

Maybe just do a rollback (ppl seem to hate the new voice of gladiator anyway)?
And I would be glad if someone in your staff could remove the leave which should be added to my account in the next few minutes as it's not possible for me to reconnect to the game -.-

Edit:
I'm using linux btw, maybe you guys just forgot to tick the right box when releasing the patch?

[Dobattlers]

on the download site there it says 2.0.6.1, Is there a way I can downlload 2.0.6.2 directly, since I cannot connect to hon or update any patches.

[CaptainGg]

We don't care about the Store seriously we play for game so get new stuff for the game new heroes item or maps. Dota 2 gonna eat you if you continue to develop this useless thing ...

[GlemSom]

It's REALLY disappointing to see S2 failing to deliver what they had promised us.
Again they have failed to support 2/3rd of their supported platforms - and again is this going to be annoying to their players.

This S2, is a real disappointment!

I do how-ever look forward to see how S2 will compensate for their failure here... Besides the obvious of removing the false leaves...

[painkiller`]

Just as an FYI for people suffering from the reconnect bug: Press Ctrl+F8 and type "reconnect" if you've been disconnected from a game and cannot get back in.

It has worked for me in all the 3 games that I couldn't get in because the dialog wouldn't popup.

One might be screwed if the dialog doesn't show up, but trying the console is better than not trying at all.

[ArChoNus15]

Trial me please i want play HON

[ZeroHonor]

Hmm... Why add the 4of5 concede AND the vote kick... The problem before was that in some games 1 person could keep 4 in a lost game... adding both is just wierd...

And adding kick back??? kidding??? if a person is truly needed to be kicked (feeding or flaming or whatnot) opposing team will never kick... If the person is of value to the team, opposing team will always kick to win (even though there is no valid reason to kick)...

S2 kick was removed for at reason...

The 30min 4of5 concede is much needed though...

[spacegiraffe]

- Added more icons and another bundle
- Vote kick has been re-added to the game
* A kick vote against someone can only be called once every 3 minutes

m... it looks bad... when i don't want to concede "cause" i want to win the game (like i'm carrying the game with scout, DL, etc. pubs) i will get kicked?, and it count like disc?

Lesson to be learnt: If you're not a scrub, don't play with pubs.

[fjksQjw]

this new system rlly sux... in one game i played rampage goes afk... and oponents have to accept our kick vote so we can concede... this makes lost games longer and longer... and again u bringing tarded avatars wtf.... hon becoming comedy like LoL...this rlly sux guys... if dota 2 will be with srs dark grapfic like old one i gnna buy it instead of playing hon with that gay cherry popper and school sucubus...every good game have to be ****ed up once... dofus,team fortress 2... same story...s2 doing bad job last 6 months.. too bad..

[Stonecold`]

yeah i've played him a couple times now and it's just unfathomably how much i hate the new glad voice

[Dordanov]

Vote Kick and Concede changes are great!

I haven't noticed any of the TMM algorithm changes. Most matches are pretty fast in my bracket anyway, mostly get a match between 1 - 2 minutes.

Sometimes it looks like the MM algorithm gets stuck anyway. Then we are waiting for something like 3 - 3.5 minutes while the average wait is 60 seconds. Then we leave the queue, join up again, and get a match in 10-60 seconds usually. Might be worth checking into why that still happens sometimes.

Oh and please fix the replays not being available for download, it's been a problem for quite a while now. I wouldn't mind if old replays got deleted as long as the replays are available at first.

[fjksQjw]

hmm y mm loading fast but balance is kinda awful... sometimes i am with 4x 0,5-0,7 kd guys vs 1,8,1,5 and so on... so bad balancing ...lost game before start

kdr isn't really a good metric to ballance a game on.
Someone may be a kill stealer OR play support...

win% (and thus by extention psr/tmm) is really the only way

I spoke to the mac/linux guy and noone told him there was a 2.0.6.2 so that is why it doesn't exist (shame this reconnect bug is forcing me to play with irc ppl who are bad and can't carry)

Hopefully he is poking ppl now ( or in a couple of hours) to get the src for 2.0.6.2 so he can roll the patch

[callthecops]

I never understood why the vote kick needed approval from the opposing team. Lets say you have some douche on your team feeding intentionally to be a jackass, and some players on the other team want to keep feeding off him.. of course they aren't going to comply with the vote kick. I don't think the opposing team should have any say in the matter. Doesn't this make sense??

[Azza_]

I really don't like the reintroduction of votekick. It does not improve the game under any circumstance.

[AxisKnight]

- Wards now have a 'Timer' bar above them that shows how much time is left at a glance

Sweet!

^This so much, too much dishonesty to allow the winning team to decide, if they want to have an easier time or not

[Pat_H]

I GOT A "NO RESPONSE FROM SERVER" ERROR WHEN THIS PATCH WENT UP

got kicked from the game and could not reconnect. What the **** S2?

[HUN`DarkEvil]

Simply question. Since the new patch, when I got an error (unread bits, unknown entity type, etc) i find myself in the main menu, but I dont have the "reconnenct now" button as before this patch. I need to quit the game, so when I start the whole game, I got that reconnect message. So how can I simply reconnect without quitting the game?

[Frostgore]

Well... I've seen some ppl complain about beein kicked from games and thus further, gaining a Leave. I, and my fellas, didn't get any problems related to reconnecting, or beein kicked, or not to be able to auto-update or anything. The only and serious thing that freacking drives me crazy is the new Gladitaor's voice (which made me to hate playing with him) and the new sounds that Pestilence does (ITS FREACKING ANOYING) -_- I dunno why they would change those things, freacking unnecessary, which doesnt add anything to the game

[Zelator]

Bah they are just using these lame alternative skins for not creating new heroes.Good job S2 always some new thing to delay new heroes!

2.0.7.0 Patch Notes

Votekick was removed again from the game as per major abuse of the system.
Blood Chalice nerf.

Yep, I see the future. lol

just please fix the dc spikes that some people are getting. the game become a pain to play. other than that adventure gladiator is baller

[LwShieN]

Pointless to change the voice of Gladiator, he sounded great the way he was... Skins are a great addition but a new hero would be good + balance changes etc....

[`dopemelody]

Omg, AFK kicks?! They're gone! It needs the whole team's votes and usually the opposite team would never comply! ... FIX IT?!?!?!?

[`dopemelody]

9 of 10 people agreed to kick you for fun?? , i don't think so.

Say it's 1min in the game, and they're all bored ? I don't know when the kick limit starts but say 10 mins, hey my teamate thumbs up'd i'll do it too. and the last guy goes well there's 7 i might as well do so too. and the whole team hops onto the bandwagon. It could happen. There's lots of dweebs out there.

[z3rocool]

i dont understand the pub stars that complain about vote kick... if the other 4 players on your team want to kick you from the game, you must have done something to deserve it and its doubtful you are going to carry them...

[Naib]

Not always teh case. During close-beta I was kicked from a game because the other side had a d/c and this clan went [ALL] want to kick Naib so it is 4v4 - it was fairly ballanced up until the d/c


I hope there are harsh punishments for kicks.

[Maitokerma]

Can't pick Helga Hammerstorm D,= i have bought it and cant pick it

[Epidemilk]

Um, I dunno if it's the adjustment to matchmaking balance, or people getting annoyed at 4/5 concede and votekicks and not playing because of it, but queue times blow ass since patch, even with ALL modes and servers approved. Seriously I'm sitting at 23 minutes right now with the average wait supposedly being 64 seconds. And I already left and re-queued after first waiting 10 or 15...

[mtK]

What's with new patch 2.0.6.3? Client just updated.

[Nonirik]

Yes whats new ?

[X_Raider]

Patch 2.0.6.3 , trying to update. AGAIN getting black screen when loading the game. AGAIN probably have to reinstall the game and patch all of it all over again.

Im getting very frustrated. even the smallest patches like this i can update :(

[DtMage]

Fixed a minor exploit with the RAP form.

I guess with RAP S2 means Report Abusive Behavior(RAB).

[legobil]

Hey.

I'm sorry if this issue has allready been discussed, but it takes too much time scrolling through 15 pages.

Ever since patch 2.0.6.2 I've been having some issues while playing the in game. Before I describe the problems, it might be good to know that I'm playing the game on a mac.

First of all, the bar in the upper right corner of the screen is just a white rectangualar box. I can't see the level of the individual Heroes, neither can I see the respawn timer if a particular Hero has been killed. I can maximize the bar, this way I see most of the Heroe levels, but I do not see all of them (the bottom two Heroes of the opposing team are missing). In addition, the entire panel is surrounded by a thick white outline.

Furthermore, I cannot use the item hotkeys. This is a real downer, since (of course) I am quite dependent on using my items in game. It is quite irritating to have to manually klick each item.

I do not know if the issues described above has been previously mentioned. It's also hard to find a support email adress or something similar. I'm hoping someone might have a clue what my problem is, or at least direct me to where I can find some support.

[Elainiel]

Fair enough changes.
Almost.

Couldn't stand reading through all the pages to see if this was answered or so.

But this change about allowing people to concede if only 4 votes for it?
What in the freaking holy macaroni land is this stupidity?
I couldn't even count to how many games my team wants to concede and I don't, and we turn the game around and wins.
And I enjoy playing games even if it sometimes seems over. But now my opinion does not care anymore? I have to play as the other ones in my team wants? Way to go S2, you just ruined my game experience with HoN.

[AethGorr]

Hilarious patch, thanks. Especially for most important - addings to the item mall.

[Mr_Rogers]

Unable to find a server....

[Yasai]

Here I was hoping for some balance changes. Oh well.

As far as this patch, I wonder if it fixed the weird text problem you get when typing out the reason for reporting. Cause that was fubar.

[Takarabako]

this patch makes me cry :(

(there where a reason you removed vote kick s2. hint: it dosent work)
This.

Also, concede 4/5 wtf? If i am the only who sees the game can be won, im officially fcked?

The games where concede got denied by 1 single person, and end up winning the game are the best games.

*sigh* This patch fades away the possibility to have a long and awesome game with comebacks. I'm seriously sad now.

Something for Store - "Connection error. Please try again." ?

[Bishoujomae]

As usual can't update without having the game.share.dll crashing or k2.dll crashing

All I can do is sit and wait till they have the new client out before I can play >_<

P.S. This has been happening ever since 2.0 came out....

[Narushi]

What's the reasoning for not requiring that only the team votes to kick someone on their own team? I can see one reason being that once someone starts feeding(which doesn't mean that they're not very good and can be various reasons), the team might kick them because they also lack the knowledge to understand the reason why their feeding and assume that they're just new to the game. Is there more reasoning other than this?

My main concern is that quite often someone will purposefully die to the enemy heroes because they're mad about something, and of course the enemy team won't kick them for obvious reasons.

Haven't played new patch yet, but I agree. I've played so many games where my team has had a really bad early game (one of the side lanes got raped couple times by mid, or a couple of bad teamfights, etc.) but since our heroes were better scaling we won it late even though 3-4 guys were ready to concede at one point.

Hell, I've played many games where the opposing team had 4 ppl wanting to concede, but then ending up losing the game late due to them getting back in it.

[Jeroz]

4/5 at the 30min mark is probably a tad too soon, 40min or when 2 raxes down is more like it.

lag or even delay is one thing, the game IS FREEZING.. after 1 second delay the game run all thing's passed on this 1 second at a very ultra high speed..

I think the kick vote is good. Just that the community isn't ready to cherish it as it should... I got kicked out of a game because I wanted to vote for a remake because one of our player in our team dropped. The funny part is that my team wanted to kick me. So the opposing team joined that too, for the easy gold / MMR.

Let's just say that this patch just makes me wait what Valve has to offer on Dota 2.
