So Diretide is kind of confusing to me. The game mode itself, while having some clear imbalances and exploits, is fun, and that was the point, so we're good there.

It's the eggs that confuse me. The essences seem to be incredibly rare, and with Diretide being as short as it appears to be, did Valve expect anyone but the most hardcore of players to ever collect enough essences to do something with their egg? They must have, because they want to sell you more eggs...wouldn't you think the essences would be easier to come by?

I really like the idea of it, and I'm glad their doing it in beta to practice the execution of this stuff...but if you want people to buy eggs, you might want to make the essence drop rate such that someone with a job and a life outside of Dota can ever get enough essences to complete their first egg.

e: I guess what I'm saying is, why would I ever buy another egg when it doesn't look like I'm going to be able to cram enough Diretide in to fill up my first one.

You have until the 12th so like, 2 more weeks almost. Personally, I'm 2/3 on essences I think. Obviously thats way above average and a tiny sample size (3 games) but obviously you can find them. And it isnt like you need to put all those essences in, you could just go for wex/exort or whatever.

there's alot of different types of couriers you can get from all of this, if you can't get the harder ones by playing, you can buy or trade for them.

Personally i really like how there are quite a few ones and some sort of tier i guess for people who put in time in it.

Ohhhh, Diretide is active until the 12th of November? I thought it ended today. That makes much more sense.

whats the best place for accurate up to date hero guides ?

looking for good item/skill builds

Âsk on TL, you'll learn more than you could from silly guides.^o^



OK right now I am playing Anti Mage Rubick and Chaos Knight

what skill/item builds are you guys using with them ?

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=281619

Shameless though guide is outdated

AM - Battle Fury, Treads, Manta, Heart/Butterfly/BKB - Any combination of skills you want
Rubick - Arcanes, Force Staff, Blink Dagger, Bloodstone/Hex/Shiva's - Fade Bolt max by 7, Telekinesis by 9, then Null Field
Chaos Knight - Treads, Drum, Armlet/BKB/Heart, Cuirass - 4/4 in Chaos Bolt/Rift before Crit, take Ult when you can



Do you usually get ult at 6 on CK? I generally leave it till 10 since the single illusion costs like 200 mana and doesn't really do that much until you have at least treads + janggo or more.

I mean to say 4/4 before anything else

Biggest counter to Bloodseeker is a 135g TP scroll.

Blademail + running around like a chicken with your head cut off does a pretty good job vs him too, but only if you have a passable HP pool (or at least a way to make up the damage lead the initial burst from his ulti got your opponent).

TP is of course the easiest/safest way. Just make sure a wild kunkka doesn't appear to "X" you back to his buddy.

To be honest, it sounds like everybody is trying to completely fill their eggs (make it white, forget the name). I think I'm going to go for combo ones (orange, green, purple) since I already have 2 eggs and can probably beg one off of another friend.

Or shadow essence I guess, but you have to find those or trade quite a bit for them.

I'm now more interested in the strange/unusual essences but I guess we won't know more about them until the stuff hatches?
