The patch was great, but the guys doing balancing are pretty separate from the guys who would be modelling, rigging and implementing new heroes. All of those guys seem to have been making nothing but hats for the last six months, and it is kind of dissapointing. Same deal for first blood and TI3. Diretide I don't give a crap about, but I don't think it's unfair to say that this is the longest drought we've had without real additions to the game. | ||

This community is weird. Man please, 6.79, first blood patch, TI3, what the fuck are you even talking about ? This is just becoming ridiculous, Mostly because I'm sure Valve have his reasons to not release diretide, second they do not have to answer all the community's caprice. A lot of people are upset okay, does this mean they actually need to have such a short memory ? | ||

And even so, just putting the exact same event would be kinda cheap and lazy work, but we don't even get that which is pretty dissappointing to say the least | ||

one would assume that 679 is mainly the work of icefrog and his own team (pros and trusted testers) to create. of course implementation is on valve's side but 679 came with no new content nor any fixes of old content nor any expansion of current content. i do appreciate the hell of of valve working the weekend through to provide us with 679 though. | ||

A lot of this anger could be assuaged if Valve had a proper communications policy which they don't, hell the Chinese dota2 t.qq account posted more info official info as far as I can see. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/klTKvjm.jpg) On November 02 2013 06:54 TheYango wrote: I don't know how people can be disappointed over something Valve never made any commitments on. its small but its something | ||

But nope, nothing, and they didnt even say a single word about it yet. And even so, just putting the exact same event would be kinda cheap and lazy work, but we don't even get that which is pretty dissappointing to say the least We have access to the themes as well. We can access the diretide theme in a roundabout way so the content is still there. Valve consciously decided not to activate it. A chicken turning into a ghost in CS:Go is more than what we got. I remember seeing a youtube clip where they were showing all these games and their Halloween themed events (like LoL) and I felt sort of sad.

That is what people like to believe, but it is not always the case. Just look at War Z and Day One: Garry's Incident. They got a ton of flack and lost lots of business for it. There is a point where negative publicity turns into losing money. | ||

But i disagree, i had a ton of fun. And what are you talking about, the greevils weren't used for fighting till frostivus. And if you want to make that kind of statement, do you have any facts that the VAST majority of the community disliked it? And no some random reddit or TL poll does not confirm wether or not the VAST majorit of the community disliked it. Edit: As i said, i think you used a very weird way to write "I think it's shit and i've also seen others who disliked it." | ||

I played CS on servers without mods for almost a decade. Some people need to learn to actually fucking enjoy games without needing constant NEW SHINY SHIT or gimmicky modes or meaningless progression systems. Is it nice with a change once in a while? Sure, but no one has a legitimate reason to be 'angry'. | ||
