i mean look at the mainpage of games
buy points 2400 xxx dollar xxx
buy point 1000 xx dollar xxx
buy arcana 26 euros xxxx
this is obvious moneymaking event for volvo altho poorly constructed thats for sure
Frankly the entire event seems pointless.
I dont think it will be like last years YearBeast event where players could make a lot of money on the market grinding everything out.
Unless there are unique item sets to the rewards maybe?
Everyone learn their lesson about the couriers, and it is painfully obvious this time that these couriers, even the golden ones, wont be worth shit. They can literally be purchased for like 20 bucks + arcana.
Looks like valve wants all the money... and doesn't want the players reaping profit from the market.
you get 2400 for 7.99 so yea... not that big of a deal.
oh yea " The points in your ability points pool refresh back to full at the beginning of each year beast brawl"
So the event is 100% pay to win.
the thing people will be interested in is "rewards earned from the year beast brawl cannot be traded but are giftable". Hopefully everything that can be earned is purchasable.
yea. last years was better... we could earn those treasures and sell them on the market. I made hundreds on steam market last year...
and the Wraith Knight was actually awesome.
And less we not forget: Servers are still really laggy. Got irritated on a Brewmaster game because Gus-Gus is too fucking lazy to fix the servers. Going back to my break til I see a fix for this!
This 10 minute of "Beast Brawl" seems so retarded... if you aren't constantly playing dota, you'll never know when it will be up. Why don't they just show a 24hr timer and just show how many hrs its left from starting?
Really, the money-making is the only thing you care about?
I'm a bit... shocked that Valve put such a big pay2win aspect into a PvP game mode, where the team that bought more Ability Points seems to be the likely winner. And only the brawl winners get event items. I'm quite disappointed.
The game mode itself sounds like fun, though, as I'm not that big of a fan of hours of PvE farming.
Dota is free, all heroes are free, you can't pay to have an advantage over other players. It's normal that valves wants to make some money from events. I don't see why this is wrong.
Except that you do get an advantage over other players if you buy Ability Points and compete in the All Pick Year Beast Brawl.
they could make money while also making a high quality enjoyable event but guess what, no.
Most people because you know, they cancelled Diretide and Frostivus for what? This shit? It's not acceptable.
This attitude of entitlement is sickening. I will repeat after Gartor:
THIS IS A FREE GAME. VALVE IS NOT RUNNING A CHARITY. THEY ARE HERE TO MAKE MONEY. THEY DO NOT MAKE MONEY OUT OF PEOPLE PLAYING A FREE GAME. THIS IS HOW THEY MAKE MONEY OUT OF DOTA. ACCEPT IT OR LEAVE IT.
So sorry for Volvo making no money on F2P game... Oh wait, it did make them a lot of money.
They should have made Year of the Beast a custom mode, not integrated into normal games. And now with the Crystal Maiden Arcana, pubs are just going to die even faster with teammates going CM and feeding.
Juggernaut is still ridiculous, even though the win rate is going down, we need more nerfs to him. Ever since the PA arcana came out and the Dota 2 Asian Championships, this game has really gone downhill. The servers are terrible still, and the 6.83 patch was a major punch to the game.
Valve needs to not only make money, but improve the fucking quality of this game. Hell, when Runescape dropped the wilderness and the trade limit, they brought it back, and when they added new combat mechanics, they gave the old version to us for optional play. So my question is, why the fuck not listen to the fucking people, Valve?
@I USE CHARITY 4 MONEY
People like you are the worst. Giving negative feedback isn't entitlement. People annoyed about the event want to give money to valve to participate in the event, not to get it for free.
The whole "entitled" bullshit argument people post on gaming forums is a farce at this point.
^
Agreed. It's called CRITICISM.
And right now, I am not happy with how the game is going right now - Valve needs to get their heads out of their asses and THINK.
Is the new bloom related to the compendium at all? What's the point of a compendium? I know you get some free items it shows at certain levels but is that it?
Probably not. I was expecting a much different appeal to the New Bloom, but NOOOOOOO, we gotta deal with CM every game now just like in 6.82 with PA!
Whoever is making these decisions needs to be fired.
One question.....its says that there is a timer 1 hour before the 10 minute session....where is that timer? ive been on all day just w8ing for that?????
It didn't show up yet, that's why it's "random". But it's probably gonna be late night at EU, fucking 4 am at Asia and midday at America.
I have no idea about that, but I heard they will announce on reddit or some shit.
Oh I see.. they are working on it...I hope i can catch it after i get back from the bar and hopefully I can play with non retarded people and win at least once!
There is no event today, it probably starts AFTER midnight. ANd it will be couple of times trough day which is fine cause you win sets in every game. If you win, ofc, prizes will be better. I think they did good job about that.
Will the event itself be fun, we need to see.
@Sam Fuckin' Peckinpah
They didn't cancel those events for New Bloom, they cancelled them for Source 2.
LOL at all the crying in this thread. Who gives a fuck, just play.
it was at this moment, valve knew......they fucked up! Also one does not simply silence a silencer!
For now I don't like this update.
1) Search game page
2) I can't use my "assured victory shout" (I hope it's a bug)
3) You only get "ability points" if someone in your game has arcana
4) Pay-to-win game mode, lol
Too aggressive marketing for me.

-The Year Beast Brawl is only available to join during 10-minute periods, which will occur randomly a few times each day. A countdown timer will appear an hour before the start of each Brawl, allowing you time to assemble your friends and prepare.
oh and $9.99 for jade effigy block....
What the fuck.
