Difference between Hardcoded & Triggered spells

Just wanted to share this insightful article by Robzor @ dota-allstars.com. (for DotA Mechanic lovers)

The Warcraft 3 World Editor contains a set of spells which are referred to as Hardcoded Spells, these were produced by Blizzard and are used in the campaign as well as ladder games. These are your typical Storm Bolt/Carrion Swarm/Shockwave/Hex/etc spells.

Differences between 6.64 and 6.65 loadscreens!

Okay, so this more like a game I used to play as a child, finding the differences between the two images. Just give it a try, maybe you’ll get them without my help.

Hint: There are 4 differences except the brightness change. Click to enlarge images…

6.64 Loadscreen

6.65 Loadscreen

6.65 has an updated loadscreen

Couldn’t resist myself from posting this here.

Kunkka…

Hey guys,

just letting everyone know that the next version will have an updated loadscreen. edits are mainly cosmetic, nothing major. so look out for it in the next release..

Also, I finally got to painting single heroes of DOTA, (epic battles are way too tiring  ) which are much more fun to do.

Who better to kickstart it than Traxex the Drow Ranger.

She is one of the most iconic heroes in Dota. also partly due to Icefrog’s unhealthy obsession with her…

(haha, just kidding Ice)

YaY! Also, find out the Icefrog in this picture.

Good Luck Everyone!

Hello people,

It seems like the moment I always feared of has finally arrived. I need to stop blogging and playing DotA. I have an important exam to take care of… an exam that’ll decide my future life…

I’m feeling pathetic at the moment but this is for the good, right guys? It’s not that I’ll never blog again but yeah, it’ll be a nice long pause.

I know if I prepare for the exam with my heart, I’ll rock it.

Thanks for sticking with me this while (antiweltteilchen needs to be specially mentioned here ) and good luck with your life!

Bye everyone,
I Love You all and I LOVE DOTA!

Icefrog & Valve!!! Will DotA get FPS now? :P 6.64, 6.65 news

Well, Icefrog’s leading a Valve team now, no wonder DotA will be an FPS game soon… LOLZ. Just Kiddin. But I wonder how will Icefrog benefit DotA working with Valve’s team. :S

More to the news 6.64 would just be on game balancing while 6.65 will include some new heroes with some remakes (I wonder who’s turn is it now??? Alchemist? Weaver? no idea….)

Taken from Icefrog’s Blog…

Miniguide to Demolish based abilities

used by Quelling Blade & level 4 Spirit Bear. Read to find out how some heroes ‘extra’ benefit out of Quelling Blade. (Some people also call this bug )

Epic DotA Replays!

Yoyoyo! As I promised, my new blog just on EPIC Dota Replays is out. epicdotareplays.blogspot.com is a collection of my favourite replays. I know you will love those replays too.

The template is a simple one, maybe I’ll upgrade it some day. The point is… the replay should be good. You can also check out the blog footer for recommended games of the heroes listed.

You can check out the new blog here. Gogogo! Download that replay and enjoy the epic awesomeness. Do not forget to subscribe to epicdotareplays for updates to epic matches. Btw, I’ll also be posting some competitive news on the blog.

Icefrog: Q&A Session#3

Q: How much longer do you realistically look at DotA as something that you want to put your time into and update? (from Murazor)

A: I honestly can’t see myself stopping anytime soon; It is the only game I really play so I get a lot of satisfaction out of working on it. I think there are a lot of areas to further improve and build upon. I hope for the game to reach new heights competitively and have a much bigger audience overall. I tend to go out of my way to make sure I don’t put myself in situations where I can no longer develop with the freedom and quality needed to take it to that level.
