Inscribed item with 1 slot but "good" inscription VS Inscribed item with 2 slots but either empty or crappy inscription? Without understanding how much it costs to 1) create slots (is this possible?) 2) Imbue a gem 3) How much gems cost etc its impossible to know whether my BH Tracer with 2 Slots is more valuable than a BH Tracer with 1 good filled slot... I have an item with 3 slots and wonder if this is exceptionally valuable or if slots can be added to any item (if so how many?) | ||

An item can have a maximum of 5 slots. | ||

I'm currently playing on 1920x1080 resolution, which is 16 : 9. I want to lower my resolution (for performance reasons) but I would prefer to keep the aspect ratio 16 : 9, the problem is my dota only gives me the 1920x1080 option under 16 : 9. I've tried forcing it by changing the launch options and changing the resolution info in the video.txt but dota simply launches in 4:3 aspect ratio then. Can I force dota to run a lower 16 : 9 resolutions? (for example 1280x720) Any help would be appreciated! edit: colon9 is a smiley turns out. | ||

(for example 1280x720)Any help would be appreciated! In advanced video options, there's an option called Render Quality which will render the game at a lower resolution (aside from the HUD) and scale it up. So if you drag the slider down to 50%, it will render at 50% of 1920x1080 but keep the UI elements looking nice. The console command if you want to render at a certain lower resolution is mat_viewportscale. Setting that to .5 is the same as 50%, setting it to .666 is equivalent to rendering at 1280x720, etc. If you don't want the nicer looking UI for whatever reason, you can add -w 1280 -h 720 or the like to the game's launch options. (Though looking over the post again, it looks like this didn't work for you so never mind.) | ||

Can it go lower than .5? I'll go test a bit I guess, thanks. edit: Ah gotcha. Well the more you know. Crappy laptop :p Big teamfights make my fps drop to bleh levels. Any optimization tips other than the advanced option stuffs? | ||

I'll go test a bit I guess, thanks. I believe it will go lower than .5. What it will do is render all the 3D elements (the game world, etc.) at a lower resolution, but render the menus and HUD at a native 1920x1080 to keep it easy to read. You're effectively not running it at 1920x1080 in most cases. | ||

You're effectively not running it at 1920x1080 in most cases. Turns the game all pixel art if I go below .5 though, but I guess that happens at low resolutions on a giant screen. Thanks for the help, I'm gonna play around with stuffs  edit: okay here's something really interesting and weird. I ran 1920x1080 at "mat_viewportscale 0.2" and it's all pixel art, but when I press f9 ingame (pause) everything becomes clearly rendered. Unpause and it's pixel art again. | ||

Have you tried changing your windows resolution to like 1280x720 and boot up dota2 in borderless window? | ||

It's triggered buff removal, so it's much stronger than a Purge-based item/skill would be because it removes a lot of things that Purge doesn't. Second is that Aphotic Shield removing Doom in DotA 1 was a bug that Icefrog couldn't really get around. He could block Aphotic Shield from being targeted on Doomed targets, but the reason you could remove Doom was because if Doom was placed on the target while Abaddon was in his cast animation, it wouldn't stop the cast. I know that and it does only emphasize how powerful of a dispel type spell aphotic shield is. I also never claimed it was anything like purge, so I do not see how I am wrong here.

It's the worst feeling. yes darkseer. i hate everything about this hero. his look is meh, his attack animation is a joke, his skills are mostly super boring and his playstyle is no fun to me. the best thing about him is pyrion flaxs youtube video. i dont enjoy skywrath mage too, but not to the same extend. he just feels too much like a superior moba hero to me as in his skillset doesnt do anything special except dishing out damage with low cooldown, low impact spells. but at least he looks ok-ish, although his attack animation is almost as bad as darkseers. | ||
