This probably belongs in the qq thread, but why in the world can I not search for my recent games by filtering with my nick? I used to do it all the time...

I'm not joking when I say you're seriously delusional if you think the reaction to not having diretide is in anyway influenced by the small subset of people who actually miss the gameplay of diretide. If you truly believe that this level of reaction is being propagated by anything other than items, you haven't paid any attention. Most people on reddit/TL/dev boards didn't even enjoy playing diretide but felt obligated to play it because the items were so prolific. It doesn't take much to go back and read posts from last years event.

People were expecting another 3-4 pages of free items by playing the silly mode and they didn't get it (yet, if at all) and it's absurd if you think this extreme reaction is a result of anything else.

You keep saying it could be so many different reasons like that matters at all to my point. Of course people have various reasons for liking something, but the vast majority played diretide for items and the reason for this extreme reaction are the items. You wouldn't see this level of reaction from the group that just like the halloween map, or just enjoyed the game play. You'd be incredibly naive to think so.


You really need to quit with the assumptions. Might consider some reading comprehension if going to reply. My point being is people such as yourself are attempting to undermine and belittle any negativity as mere outrage over lack of items. It is disingenuous and misleading that distracts from any other points.

If you want to make blanket statements in attempts to detract from any relevant discussion, go right ahead. It only shows a lack of credibility on your end. I am done with the likes of you; no point in trying to rationalize with someone on the level of b.net forum.

I played Diretide for it's rewarding strategy, über-Roshan and felt the gamemode's potential to become the next best e-sports. This news of no Diretide makes me wonder if Volvo is trying to actually kill the sanctity of e-sports.


That made me chuckle. I remember teaming up with flamewheel and few other TL'ers while trying to do the record kill, that was fun. Granted, it was incredibly frustrating but enjoyable to get timings down to precision and think of just how to best kill Roshan.


for someone that's so sure of yourself that you bash other peoples reading comprehension you should slow down and read for yourself. The only reason I'm talking to you is because you called out my initial post that the majority are upset because of the items. I made no attempts to undermine genuine issues people may be negative about such as lack of communication or the lacking of any 'fun' map, or halloween theme. But If you think the majority aren't upset because of the items, you're wrong; if you think the majority are upset over items we're in agreement and there is nothing more to discuss.

You're really confident and think highly of yourself but you've posted little to nothing in our discussion, you should work on that.

In any regard, it's probably best we quit speaking to each other as you stated. You've said next to nothing to drive any sort of conversation which does indeed make this sound like bnet forums. Given your retorts, I'm going to assume (i did it again!) you are an active participant in those parts.

I agree with crms. It's definitely a majority when it comes to people being upset over the lack of event because of not being able to get easy items.

Because of no easy mode for item whoring, I spent over $60 on the community market out of spite. Volvo wins again.

Pretty much yeah. Diretide is an event that well, would seem out of place now. Wonder if we will even get Greeviling this year although I do not think it was mentioned as being annual.

Before Halloween i assumed we would be getting greeveling but I'm pretty confident in saying we probably aren't this year.

Probably just the loots. For me though I am disappointed with how Valve handled the whole situation. It was very clear there was a buildup of hype and anticipation. On the Dota 2 Diretide page from last year it does imply that it's an annual thing. The other two similar games on Steam both have Halloween special events, with TF2's now 5th annual event. It would've made complete sense for the community to expect that the biggest game on steam (by far) would have a Halloween event.

It got worse because of Valve being so quiet on all this. Like metacritic score for Dota 2 is tanking because of this http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/dota-2/user-reviews?sort-by=date&num_items=100

Seriously Gabe Newell talks all the time about how he sees the future of games as a service. Communication is an essential part of service, especially with the gaming community. If any of the dota 2 developers would've written a short tweet explaining the cancellation while taking a dump, none of this backlash would've happened.

If they just wrote "Sorry guys no Diretide this year because *insert excuse*," Everyone would've just read that and moved on.

I don't know how there was any anticipation when for any event half the assets are already in the game files like a month or two in advance, so they show up on Cyborgmatt's blog. Valve obviously isn't going to dump the entirety of the Diretide assets into the game at the last second, so the fact that we saw nothing in the game files over the preceding months should have been indication.
