Eve of the Apocalypse: Twilight

iirc, it does siege damage. and thus makes for amazing backdooring, and also lasts a ridiculously long time (i think until the hero dies). tbh its among the things i've forgotton about, up there with termite jars, sappers, level up books, and <REDACTED>.

yeah the etoa can be annoying, but its still readable. using a capital i to replace an l is just plain stupid. a normal night i usually see about 75-100 games played. tonight i saw about 15 go by. confusing naming that is hard to read defeats the purpose of the bot, as lanthis has pointed out.

whoever types the default name should be taken out back and shot. preferably in a place very painful, like a kneecap or shoulderblade.

Its hosting as 'AlI Pick', in all lowercase thats 'ali pick' ali.

or it would be nice if some checks were made so that a lesser buff won't overwrite a greater buff (ultimates should have top priority). might be a little much to code everything, but just getting it so ultimates aren't overwritten would kick ass.

I always figured the big issue with the BP is his complete lack of scaling. I think his fire's hp regen scales with int, and the duration a phoenix/skeleton will last increases with int. and there ends his scaling. backfire needs to scale, his ult needs to scale, and it would be nice if the fire and...

times like these i wish i kept all my replays. had a team pool their resources and dump all mercs on mid. my team were pubs, but two of them knew what an obelisk was and the other two could read, all i did was ping the hell out of middle and tell them to get their ass over here, we defeated them at ...

the best part about the marriage license is that in some states its not even signed by the married couple, but just by the witnesses. found this out when my best friend got married, and me and the maid of honor had to sign the thing but the married couple didn't. cracked me up. The legal paper makes...

i loved iron man, granted i'm biased because stark industries logo is a rip-off of the logo of the company i work for. I really liked the first two spidermans, the first two x-mens were pretty good, and most of the rest of them are entertaining. ghost rider is complete total crap though. but yeah i ...

i get the splinter talent depending on what i'm doing with the tree. if i'm setting up walls, its worthless, if i'm just trying to defend a great many lanes, then its amazing, as it turns a treant into an army distraction with an aoe on the end (and considering the army gathers around it, its the ea...

not really sure if this is a bug or intended, but its quite odd. the treants are one of the strangest units in the game. i believe they can be healed through mass rejuv, count as mechanical and can be repaired by workers. i'm not sure any of those are intended, as they are quite beefy on their own w...

allow me to to rephrase what i said for emphasis. if -t (-tower) pings damaged outposts, why have another command for just damaged outposts? also, -o makes alot of sense as it shows you information not necessarily available on the minimap, such as the status of obelisks hidden in the fog of war. als...

why ping all halls and outposts? they show up on the minimap just fine. i could understand if they didn't get pinged using the -t command so you knew to repair them, but otherwise i dont see the point. the fortress command described by dekar would be useful, but it would only be useful to rue and po...

you really don't know what faction this guy would belong to? also, zoombies?

also, the extra abilities artifacts usually convey can be canceled out with some consumables or simply paying attention. clone from the crystal staff? wait about 5 seconds and it should be fairly obvious which is the clone. run speed from flute to get away? blink wand or use one of the many slow/sna...

the proc part. I think its similar to why lightning orbs/slowing orbs/poison orbs dont stack in standard tft games. i don't think it works with the bouncing attack on DS either.

ah nuts. dont suppose begging would help much? maybe shrink bane slightly?

you seem to have misread his statement. any hero != any hero build. the blink you gain can be achieved through other means(a consumable), as can the increased attack speed(agility, team buffs). in short, most any hero build is readily achievable without artifacts. any hero is completely playable wit...

nah, hes still pretty strong. hes no longer cenarius, able to obliterate everything, but he is still quite the lane holder. with his spore clouds, aoe damage, entangle (esp the re-entangle talent) and fungal armor, it still takes some strategy to get him to move back. its just that one hero with som...

well the towers could be strategically important to the left lane.if you are able to take over the sentry tower on the enemy side, it becomes one hell of a holding point.

hmm. sounds like it would amplify the arthas strategy of causing mass damage to the other team's buildings.

Novelty gens aren't necessary a bad thing, though if thats all they are intended to be it would be nice to get confirmation. I really think the devastation gens work fine if their purpose is a ridiculously cheap tower (less than one sixth the cost of the next cheapest defensive tower). perhaps lower...

oh, and heres a replay to show DN that artifact whoring does indeed happen. two artifact whores on the same team, the defiler and the tact both get multiple artifacts and upgrade them. same replay as in the tower thread, so its a two-fer, showing off devastation gens as well.

I think their best use is as a cheap tower (150 gold) that will pay for itself in killing blows if you understand it isn't a tank. all it needs is to kill 10 melee spawns and you've broke even. set them up on lanes that are regularly getting pushed for some extra defense + cash. i often use them if ...

in bot pub games, should you hold back if you know not doing so would cause the other team to leave in about 5 minutes? i'm talking about noticing that you managed to get 5 obelisks, seem to be holding them, and the other side hasn't built one, should you build spawn towers and wipe them out? or wou...

The tower captains seem to run to the moontear lane and not get into towers. makes the tower lane very close to useless, in terms of map strategy. anyway, attached a replay showing it.
