Evil Dreams Await!

February 24, 2012 - Dota Team

Today’s update is now available in the new Dota 2 Test build. Everyone with access to Dota 2 should now see the Test build in their Steam Games Library. The changes in the Test build will remain there for a week, during which time we’ll be fixing any issues in them, before being promoted to the main Dota 2 build. For more info, read our previous blog about the Test build. Note that there will be a limited server capacity for the Test build, so you may find longer queue times there.

Today’s changelog is available here.

Finally, here are some community updates:

* The Team Dignitas Invitational has been announced.
* The fine chaps over at Gaming With Gizmoh are running a 24-Hour Dota 2 marathon for charity. We heard they might even be giving away Dota 2 keys.
* Check out this great looking Dota 2 art.
* Gosugamers has posted an interesting analysis of the Absolute Legends vs Na’Vi match in The Premier League. Watching this confirms what our mothers keep saying to us: We will never be any good at Dota 2.

Not in my Library :|

The test build is horrible right now, it takes minutes to respond to an action such as "create lobby". And now it's disconnected form the dota 2 servers.

Does Bane look good?

The new bane looks way worse than the original concept. He now has 4 legs, which is overused in dota 2 as is. Bummer.

I told them he should have had eight legs, but they thought it would be overkill.

I was shooting for five legs, but that would be "different". Pff.

I may be a pervert when thinking something really odd if the legs are not pairs. o.0. He shouldn't have any legs.

Bingo.

But, if he doesn't have any legs, how is he supposed to float around like a hover-board? Jeez Gunker, you need to think, man!
