Valve’s recent 19 April 2013 update to Dota 2 has changed the system, so that abusive players (text or audio) will be automatically muted but not placed in the low priority MM pool. I do not think it is fair to automatically punish regular players by sticking them with automatically muted people. Communication is such an important factor in Dota 2, so being stuck with someone who can’t talk or type will affect my games. No, I do not think [...]
It is possible to earn battle points and items from playing against bots! We just need to be playing in the right mode. I thought I’d mention this and show you which one because some people asked about this yesterday. Make sure that it is a “Co-Op Bot Match” under “Matchmaking”, NOT “Private Games”. This is highlighted in the picture below. 1. 4 human teammates + you Even if you are playing alone or in a party, it will match [...]
With the recent Dota 2 SEA server maintenance that started today, tons of people have said “what am I going to do” on my Facebook page. So, I’ve come up with a few things you can do. XD Feel free to pitch in. (Props to you if you spot my silly typo! LOL) FYI, I often face high ping when playing. To SEA, I normally get 90+. To US West, 230+. To US East/EU West, 330+. Sometimes more. The good [...]
Update: I lost interest in chests. I don’t want any for now. XD Thanks. With the new chests out, people have been asking if I’m looking for them. Yes, thanks for asking! I am accepting the Treasure of Rarities and Treasure of Cursed Wood. I want to be clear that I will not be doing a donor raffle like last month. This time, it will be just like normal, with some of the items going into my regular pool of [...]
For those who don’t know what Diretide is, it is a special event in Dota 2 that ends on Nov 12. Dota Cinema has a complete guide on it, though some things have changed (i.e. you can add unusuals to Dreaded Eggs). My goal is to get all eggs, each with three unusual essences! My all time favourite items in Dota 2 are my couriers. I have always been a support played and love it, but Valve certainly is making [...]
Bought a new keyboard to replace my other one, while I see if I can get it fixed. Unfortunately, they didn’t have the same one. So, I decided to try out the Filco Majestouch 2 Cherry MX Brown Switch 104 Key Mechanical Keyboard. I would love to try out more, but this seemed like a great fit. Since it seems I couldn’t find it in local stores anymore, I ordered it online from LinkeComputer. I’m quite happy with them because it [...]
Not sure whether it was jet lag or my need to get my Dota 2 fill that lead me to play until I was to tired and ended up sleeping in the afternoon until the evening. It seems that I can now revert to my regular sleeping schedule. No time to wallow in post-TI2 depression because there are way too many things to do. For those curious what I am up to… here it is. 1. Thanking Everyone Hopefully, I [...]
Positive energy is a great thing that multiplies and spreads. One smile can generate tons of grins throughout the day. Although I’m not perfect, I try my best to emit positive energy so that more people can have a better day. This is one of the biggest reasons why I run giveaways out of my own pocket. (And, no. I am not rich. ><) Most of the time I want to bring a piece of the action to you or [...]
Since yesterday evening, my Dota 2 suddenly started working. It currently only works consistently on my secondary connection but only via wifi. This means I can play with some delay on servers further away. Stream won’t be up until I can get it to work on my main connection. >< Here is a glimpse at the heroes in some games I played. Looks like a TA fest! First four are great ownage ones and the last one was a ridiculously long [...]
PANDALICIOUS! Finished clearing up some stuff and finally unpacked most of my panda collection. There are going to be some new additions and there are some new ones packed away for safety. I want to keep them as clean as possible for when I move into a place of my own this September/October. Which one do you like the most? I wouldn’t call myself a girly girl. I hate flowers and guys treating me special because I am a girl. [...]
