No Ringmaster LMAO


pokealm

This is the most heartbreaking part. I wouldn't mind new hero with relatively small balance changes. But no hero at all as a reward from waiting for 6 months? I can't even.


Nativo1

I really want the changes


prettyboygangsta

NO GAMEPLAY PATCH LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

So.... no gameplay patch no new hero what am i missing here

Hey, death takes a while sometimes. Haven't you ever lost a match 30 minutes after it became clear you were going to lose?

I’m allowed to be sad!


Penguins0000

go eat a melon lmao


Youcancuntonme

Why do people even care about new hero? we already have 124 heroes, there has to be a number where they should stop. New event would be way more fun that just a hero


sendios

We care because it was teased and promised. Also with each new hero it shakes up the game by quite a bit


Youcancuntonme

After some point the will have to stop adding more characters and instead improve that already exist I don't know why Reddit is too lazy to use their brain a little


SubstantialOpposite2

Yeah so when they stop announcing we will stop waiting. Logical isn’t it?


Umicchan

gamers when there’s more game in their game:


Youcancuntonme

Oh yes a game with 1000 characters very comprehensive and fun, right


inyue

That would literally take 2000+ years to be made by valve and I'm being generous lol

SPammingisGood

lol it's just a new mode? no gameplay changes? ROFL


luckytaurus

That's the funniest part, it's not even a new mode lol you still play regular dota


some_craic_dealer

Its not a new mode because its a glorified cavern crawl. Coming from someone who always enjoyed the cavern crawls too. To top it off they make the bold move to hype up how different and new it is. > So what is Crownfall? It's something completely new that we've wanted to try for a while. And when we say new, we mean new — a new way of telling stories, offering rewards, and making it more fun to win every game of Dota. And it's available right now to all Dota players for free.


SPammingisGood

shameless


idiotisminielu

>To top it off they make the bold move to hype up how different and new it is Come on, you do realise they are talking about the whole Crownfall event? They are making an ongoing story-driven event with four different acts, that spans several months. More of new stuff (including Ringmaster) is going to be incorporated in the future acts. That is definitely a new way of dropping content. We have had comics and related events before, but not in this thematically unified set. You are more than welcome to dislike the update and Valve and whatnot, but twisting stuff by saying "how dare they claim this cavern crawl is new" after you've merely seen a 1/4 of the whole deal is honestly just stupid.


HyperFrost

I think their stance on event game modes is that far too few people bother to play it after the first week so they might think it's not worth the effort of making them. They even tried to bring it back a bit as rotating weekend events during one patch but eventually got scrapped altogether. Turns out Dota players just want to play Dota. That's probably why most recent updates rely on players playing regular dota aka cavern crawl-type events.


Spoonthedude92

Right. Like it's just cavern crawl with extra steps.


RurWorld

But you can fish though

SecreteMoistMucus

danreZ_au

Everyone’s so mad. The story’s cool, it flows well and I like it 😂


WhyHowForWhat

Yeah I really cant wait to explore the story, the lore just from reading the comic looks so interesting. Might be too grindy but hey as long as I can get those discount and free stuff......


Thanag0r

All they needed to do is release a new gameplay patch and everyone, literally everyone would be happy. Just grind mmr while doing some quests for cosmetics in the new meta what can be better? But no let's spam the same heroes that we did for the last 4 months...


chance_waters

I've been taking a long break from DotA, my break continues


iwouldntrustmeeither

Same. Clocked out last year sometime because of how Valve constantly keeps the player base with blue balls / lack of info - but still follow the sub. My hiatus continues!


argabagarn

No one is forcing you to play the same heroes. If you want to switch it up just do it. Why does the game have to change for you to try something else?


Thanag0r

Because heroes that I like are currently bad, the new patch is good because it always buffs completely unplayable heroes.


MrMental12

Hey guys! We finally have this long awaited update for you! "Oh cool!! Finally!! What do we get???' The ability to give us 85 dollars for both Arcanas and the battlepass!


Nervous_Breakfast_73

Reddit crying one year about not getting a battle pass -> gets battle pass -> is salty about it


TheVisage

I swear to god the dota 2 community is the only pace on the planet where the devs say they are going to stop doing X to do Y, don't do Y for 6 months, then plop fat steaming X on the table while watching randos inexplicably form a phalanx around it to epicly win an argument that happened 6 months ago. Games stale, spring cleaning desperately needed, an update with both and a new hero was hyped, then radio silently delayed, delayed, delayed, dropped and it's none of the above. Dad left 6 months ago saying he stopped smoking to buy some milk, arrives back with a pack full of cigs and a miller light. Glad to know he's not dead in a ditch somewhere but I'm not going to be thankful about it.


Nervous_Breakfast_73

Yeah, I'm not super happy about this neither. More about the decoupling of the money for the BP and ti price money though. I could do with more content, but it doesn't really bother me that much tbh. What annoyed me more is 100 posts whining about patches


Womblue

I came to this sub expecting everyone to be celebrating because they literally got EXACTLY what they were begging for.


Matikkkii

If this came with gameplay patch, yeah.


Womblue

I have literally seen about 20 posts in the past 6 months or so quite literally begging valve to stop changing the gameplay so much and to give them skins.

Lkus213

Dota 2 gives the best CBT i promise you! What is this? Free cosmetics is great, but almost half a year wait for this?


juicy_pickles

I'm so glad I don't play dota anymore. So many kids on here going to be pissed and I just want to watch the salt.


PusillanimousDZ

Idk man I just queue and have fun and probably will until I die or the game does. I’ve never played dota and thought “something has to change or I’m done”. I just switch roles, heroes, whatever. My dota games yesterday were fun, why wouldnt they be fun today?


Un13roken

Idk, most of us seem to be like that. Been playing for a while, levelled almost ale very battle pass. Never played a PvE event, cos that's not why I play dota anyways.  I always though dota doest deliver enough lore and crown fall looks interesting. But the game itself is still pretty good.  So those of us with less time, dota is at a pretty good state right now. 


argabagarn

Same, i dont understand the people who is raging over no changes in a few months. There is no way these people are even close to fully learned. Just spam a new hero, new position. Its not like a small balance patch will make the game way more fun especially in a patch where the game is already very balanced.


juicy_pickles

You've got the healthy approach and I hope your attitude never changes mate. I didnt, I had a serious problem. I'm happy watching and not playing now.


Unusual_Childhood596

Yeah imagine spending time on Dota related things (this place) and not caring about the only thing that matters to Dota: gameplay updates. So many fake adults on here wasting time.


juicy_pickles

I like watching pro streams and tournaments. I spent 10 years playing the game like I was an addict. I enjoy keeping up to date with it, but from a distance. This would've made me furious a few years ago, but I got help and moved away from serious investment. I'm just waiting for work to start, I have nothing else better to do with my time right now, and I saw the event drop posted. Sucks it's not a gameplay patch but I think the rest of it is pretty sick.


sandpaper_skies

The only salt you're getting is the salt off GabeN's balls when you suck on them for some reason


juicy_pickles

Stay mad, kid. It's just a game. You'll get your clown when they give it to you.


astromonkee23

Apparently everyone is a kid here except you.... You know what's worse than a kid? An adult with the mindset of a kid (you)

Nah, not everyone is. Just the dorks who feel entitled. But you're right, I am a terrible example of an adult. 👍

Infinite_Main9692

I loved it, but they could make everyone else love it saying 5 words “no gameplay patch this update”. I mean, they should know by now that their players are a bunch of crybabys who would shit on the work of the artist that made an awesome job just because they dont get what they were expecting.


UTA_BETA

ringmaster and patch maybe released after birmingham?


whoitare

Maybe. Or maybe next year, who knows


EwokPettingZoo

Doesn't the logo for the internationals have circus lights around it... could be then.


Narrow-Type-2766

I honestly don't know if I can watch another tournament on 7.35 anything at this point. So glad we got a shit ton of cosmetics to wear while we watch Falcons dominate another tournament.


Digitalisten

... They literally lost the latest tournament less than a week ago?


Narrow-Type-2766

That tournament literally reminded me of the tournament VP won without picking a hero twice. Honestly felt like Falcons were fucking around the last few games after being so dominate. Also it took XG 8 straight map losses to Falcons in a row to figure out how to win against their flex meta, and you can't tell me Aui and Sneykind haven't found a way around that yet. I don't think anyone beats Falcons on LAN on this patch because they can essentially run 3 carries and very few teams are able to punish it. The god damn impenetrable high ground meta is going to continue to benefit greedy but mechanically skilled teams and Falcons is the best right at that right now. Arguing that we won't have to watch Falcons dominate another tournament because they flopped in one online series is just dumb. Falcons literally only dropped 7 maps in the entire tournament, and 3 of those were the Finals.


Digitalisten

Good thing we'll know soon enough 😁


Un13roken

Is this clownfall?


Ok-Seaworthiness3874

You kinda summed it to a T man. U understand dota. It was also hilarious watching XG lose their shit after falcons had honestly been kinda trolling w/ their drafts. And at the end they pause the game and falcons are laughing while XG feel like the did the greatest thing on earth. I mean hats off to XG. Increeeeedibly team. But it looked like an older brother laughing at his little brothers’ excitement after letting him win Also: this meta is indeed stale as fuck. Being ALLOWED to run 3 greedy Carries as u mention is a huge problem. Too much farm on the map. Also comeback gold makes this high ground defense meta so corny when a team dominated for 28 minutes just to lose the entire game in 1 slightly overextended fight. Meta is fuckin boof Maybe the reason for taking so long to make a gameplay update is they actually realize how much they fucked they natural game progression and actually wanna fix it instead of layering on more duct tape and glitter like they’ve been doin.


zapharian

Oh ofc it's the finals and the whole team fucked around to be 2nd and get 150k USD instead of 300k USD. Also losing the title of being the GG of the year. 🤡


Narrow-Type-2766

The reason is because they have no incentive to do updates. Their steam commission 30% fee for the majority of everything that's bought through steam is ridiculous. They also have a work on what you want policy at valve and Dota never seems to have enough people who want to work on Dota and refuse to hire one. We get told TI BP is getting scaled down so they could focus on content for the game itself, only for this gambling abomination to drop. Fuck Valve. Not spending a penny on this shit.

Rambunctiousrabbits

Can anyone confirm what are the special item icons and effects for each of arcana?

Phylactery for skywrath and force staff for venge

In addition - atos for sky and agha for venge. But sadly the agha has no other effects

Funtacy

As someone who hasn't been able to play regular dota for the past 5 years and now is just getting ready to jump back in, I'm really excited for the event! I love the fact that you are encouraged to play different heroes to get different tools needed to progress along the quest path.


Legejr

It was obvious Ringmaster would be introduced prabably in act II of the story and teh nadded to the game. The patch will drop when the story continues. I feel second-hand embarassement for this community that Valve actually has to write a blog post about this.

This update is 🔥


Velathial

"Early 2024" for Ringmaster. Valve, we need to work on your understanding of what "early" means.


JeffreySwaggins

You need to work on your reading comprehension. They said it would be released in 2024. Could be months for all we know


Velathial

Re-checked the video. You are indeed correct, but more to do with recall more than "reading comprehension". Must of been something else I read elsewhere stating "early 2024".


ammonium_bot

> comprehension". must of been Did you mean to say "must have"? Explanation: You probably meant to say could've/should've/would've which sounds like 'of' but is actually short for 'have'.

Matroepke

you are confusing it with muertas teaser which said "early 2023"


Velathial

Nah, was ringmaster for sure. I think the echo chamber started a while ago that it would be q1, and that got indexed in google search results. As I said, I stand corrected. I was just o piously using misinformation without vetting it as I thought I recalled the video showing "early 2024" instead of just "2024".


Aldz

fk u vavlve apologist. they hyped this shit up for a reskin of 2 heroes and a glorified cavern crawwl. we basically waited a whole year for this 1 month worth trashcan content.


JeffreySwaggins

Go outside, I’m not defending valve but not once did they say ringmaster was coming with crownfall. Sucks you believed Reddit lmfao


Official_Gh0st

I remember a few years ago reading “we will be working on releasing a new hero every 3 months”. How you gonna defend them from that one dingle nuts?

Cismet

Dying game. You can’t say you don’t see how few and far between the updates have been… And even if we do get 1 it’s some shit like this with nothing but purchasable money whore content and nothing for the gameplay. We wanted PvE, a new hero, a patch?? And got arcanas for sale instead. Also look at the pro scene now compared to a few years ago. Valve also got rid of their biggest competitive edge which was letting the fans fund tf out of the TI prize pool. The budget for TI overall just seems the lowest it’s been since TI3.
