CHANGELOG
==============

MAP CODE

1. All the data from 6.71/6.71b changelist at the official DotA website. Too long to paste it all here.

AI CHANGES

1. New Dynamic Exp/Dynamic Gold mode. Here are some explanations how it works:
AI have bonus rate in XP and GOLD. Human rate is 100% XP and 1 GOLD / 0.875s (8G / 7s). AI rate is higher than that.

So, when AI hero kills, he gets -15% xp, and -4G/7s (from current bonus rate) and if the current rate is higher than the starting rate, it resets to starting rate

When AI hero dies, he gets + 15% xp, and +4G/7s (to current bonus rate), if current rate is lower than starting rate, it resets to starting rate

When AI hero gets an assist, he gets -7% xp and -2G/7s (from current bonus rate)

Min rate for AI is human rate (it won't get lower than that), there is no max rate

2. Two new sections in the scoreboard showing the current AI XP and GOLD rate. There might be up to 2.5s delay in scoreboard update for the rate

3. De/Dg mode is enabled by default, unless ne/ng is enabled

4. Various internal fixes. The big job for fixing the broken AI for 6.72 will begin soon.

The Changelog that I posted is from here. Thanks from that website.

IceFrog´s Blog: Q&A number 4 on DOTA 2

2010-11-07T19:18:00.000-08:00

IceFrog´s Blog: Q&A number 4 on DOTA 2. This is an update coming from Icefrog's blog about the Q and A which was happened recently. The question and answer portion is were all the latest updates from the upcoming Dota 2 game. You can read below what is the Q & A is all about.

Q: Is there reconnect support for DotA 2? (by Vanes-UT)
A: This was actually one of the very first things we added early on, before the game was stable, in order to help with testing. You’ll also be able to have a friend of similar skill level substitute for you in case you have to leave. Players that want to improve their reputation in the game and community will also be able to help out by joining ongoing games that are missing players.

Q: Can I still play with my friends from America even though I am European? (by Adam Mosley)
A: Yes, a lot of people have friends in different regions and we want to allow them to easily interact. One of the things that makes DotA special is how big the community is, so we will do our best to make it easy to connect and communicate with one another.

Q: How are you going to handle delay and lag between players? (by Alex)
A: This is something we are putting a lot of time and resources into. Minimizing delay to servers, along with optimizing networking code, is very important to being able to enjoy DotA on both a casual and competitive level. We’re expanding the Steam infrastructure around the world so the matchmaking service for DotA 2 is able to provide the lowest possible ping wherever you are playing. There will also be some uniquely located servers that are optimized regionally for handling longer distance matches.

Q: What kind of hardware requirements will the game have? (by S.Hong)
A: We don’t have an official minimum spec just yet. The goal is to make sure that people with older computers and the PCs at LAN centers will be able to support the game, while also allowing for newer computers to scale well.

Q: I heard there was going to be an AI feature for when a player leaves. Is there going to be an option to take direct control of the hero? (by Stephen)
A: The AI features will be optional to the players in the game. You can have teammates use it, send it to the base, or give it AI modes and behaviors to follow.

Q: Will there be anything like the AI maps in DotA or a “training mode” with difficulty levels? (by L.Pham)
A: Yes there will be bot support if you just want to play by yourself, or you can create a party of friends and fill the rest of the slots with bots. There are a variety of different settings you can use in order to configure the bots, ranging from selectable difficulty levels to specific behaviors that you want to practice against. For example, if you want to practice your lane control, you could configure the bots to be stronger at denying, last hitting, and harassing. We’ll also have some specially crafted challenge scenarios, similar to things like Pudge Wars, which I’ll elaborate on in the future.

Q: Will the replay system allow me to move freely backwards and forwards in time rather than having to watch a whole replay? (by Luciando)
A: You’ll be able to jump around to any point in the replay, add bookmarks for easy referencing, view detailed stats and graphs while the game is going, and watch through a specific player’s view (with regards to their camera movement). You’ll also be able to watch replays with friends if you want to review a game or learn from your mistakes. To aid videomakers, the replay system will have flexible camera angle and speed controls. There will also be a bunch of commentating and editing features you can add to your replays.

Q: Don’t you think you should make a lot of changes to the gameplay? (by Robert)
A: Significant changes would not necessarily make it a better game. There are countless features we are building around the game that will make the experience a much better one. The gameplay itself, though, has always evolved step by step, and it will continue with that methodology. We consider this a long term project, in the same way DotA has always been. We want to provide a quality experience and not just change for the sake of change. You’ll naturally see additions and improvements to the game as time passes, but it would be a natural progression aimed at improving the game for the players and not for other arbitrary reasons. Valve and I strongly believe that the player focused development process the game has gone through is what will allow us to continue making the best decisions with regards to where we spend our development time.

Q: Can you spectate an already ongoing DotA 2 game? (by Valo)
A: A lot of the game will be built around spectating and shoutcasting support. You will be able to join most ongoing games (unless the players marked it as private) and just watch them. You can join a game your friend is in, see what your favorite clan is doing, or simply pick a skill level and a hero you like and it will find you one to watch. We also have a system in place that automatically distributes the load to multiple servers so that the game itself won’t be affected by users joining to spectate. Our distribution network will allow us to support any number of users that want to watch, by dynamically assigning more servers to the task. There will also be special tags and search options to help you find live or old shoutcasted games. Shoutcasters will be able to operate as directors, so anyone watching will have his camera looking at the same things the shoutcaster is viewing. There is also an optional anti-cheat mechanism built in so that the game you are spectating can be time delayed by any amount of time to reduce potential abuse.

Q: Will you keep loyal to casting times like Torrent and will it still be possible to do the advanced tricks, like animation canceling, fog of war tricks we’ve learned, etc? (by Lycan)
A: Yes, those mechanics are implemented. They are a very integral part of the game and it wouldn’t feel the same without them.

Q: How will we manage replay files? (by Nikos)
A: They will be automatically saved with your identity online utilizing the Steam Cloud storage system, so you don’t have to worry about losing them. You’ll be able to use the replay browser tools to search, sort, tag, rank, and favorite them.

Q: Are you going to work on DotA after DotA 2 is released? (by Jack Lee)
A: I plan to keep DotA updated for as long as the community wants. That being said though, I think that DotA 2 represents the long term future for the game.

Q: How will development change with regards to your role, current beta testers, community feedback, etc? (by Basel)
A: All that stuff will remain the same, except that now I also get to work with the developers at Valve. All of our current playtesters and even contributors like Kunkka are helping. One of the most important things for me has always been getting input from the community. There will be a lot of opportunities, throughout the next year, to give your feedback on all the things we are working on, ranging from features to visuals.

Q: Are the upgraded graphics going to be distracting? New graphics are great, but when there’s too much, you can’t see what’s going on anymore. (by Lycan)
A: Gameplay is definitely the most important aspect, everyone on the team understands this concern. The number one priority is making sure players can quickly and easily tell what’s happening on the screen at all times. Fine tuning the right visual balance with each ability, effect, hero, etc., will be an ongoing process as the game is playtested and we get your feedback. A clean and understandable visual representation of the action is important to everyone from experienced players, spectators, to new players.

Q: Will I be able to help test DotA 2? (by Sing Liu)
A: There will certainly be an opportunity to get involved with beta testing DotA 2 and help us with your feedback. We’ll release more information about how to sign up in the future.

Q: Are you going to do anything to make it easier for new players to get into the game and feel welcome? (by Arvin)
A: Some of what makes it hard, in current DotA, stems from the lack of services around the game that can help foster a better relationship between players and that it’s hard for players to be matched up with equally skilled allies and opponents. Things like tutorials, matchmaking, AI bots, identity, coaching, and community contribution will go a long way to making it easier for new players to fit in.

Q: What hotkey setup will exist in DotA 2? (by Stany Kaff)
A: We have a few default templates that cover the most popular configurations, but you’ll also be able to fully customize them to your liking. You can customize it on a global level or on a per hero basis if you choose. The hotkey configuration will include everything, not just heroes and items, but also how you navigate in the game, control the camera, autocast, set control groups, etc. Your settings are saved to your identity online, so if you go to a LAN center you will not have to reconfigure your keys.

Just keep comeback here for the latest updates of Dota-allstars game and have fun playing dota.

* Rebalanced the assist Gold & XP system
Most recent versions (since 6.55) have an extra portion of the gold/xp that is not a pure split like standard XP usually is.

For XP "heroes" means the number of heroes in the area.
For Gold "Assist" means the number of heroes in the area besides the killer.

"Level" always means the level of the dying target

20. 2 new modes (Skillbuild View): when in game, write -osv XX or -osven XX for looking the skills trees of the AI heroes. XX == id of the hero. For ex.: -osv 2, -osven 6. (cipd)

27. Syllabear`s bear now gets rabid effect but the thing is still bugged with random not growing stuff. Better -airepick that hero <- thats ok for Alchemist too... very bugged. 28. Added Arcane Ring to support items usage when command in chat: -aid. U must but in atleast 650 range to the owner of the ring(not tested) 29. Added *basic* AI skills usage to Tauren Chieftain.. needs more work (he doesn`t use them much ) 30. Fixed bug with AI buy outs when dead: sometimes they were buying but not respawning in base 31. Fixed bug with empty bottle and storing runes.. before they didn`t expire after 2 minutes 32. Magnataur should not initiate dagger blink without mana for at least one slam. 33. Added Skewer to the skills usage of Magnataur (didn`t test it alot... maybe it will need later fixing). Also added Skewer as escape mechanism when low HP. (not using it very good) 34. Added Scepter to Axe`s AI skills knowledge and updated his conditions level check of ultimate ability+ability with scepter.(needs testing that he is using his upgraded with scepter skill instead of unupgraded) 35. Fixed inaccurate replay data for assists ("Assist"+AssistPlayerId,VictimPlayerId)(6.67c) 36. Fixed Puck`s phaseshift (there is still a bug in IceFrog`s map when in phaseshift and Mirana`s ulti, sometimes Puck is moving in phaseshift form) 37.

Added Scepter to EarthShaker`s skill knowledge... need confirmation he uses the skill with 2 echoes instead of one. 40. Added Midnight Pulse and Demonic Conversion to Enigma`s skills usage 41. Added Warcry usage for Sven. 42. When -aid typed near Sven or Kaldr, they`ll aid u with Warcry or Chilling Touch. I may add more supporting skills when i have the time to look over skills. 43. Troll Warlord now should use Berserker Rage to switch from Range->Melle and vice versa
44. AI should buy sentry wards or gem when Slark is in the enemy team
45. Treant Protector now casts Nature`s Guise on him or allies. Use -aid if u need Guise or Living armor asap
46. Treant Protector now uses Sentinels to stun the enemies. NOTE: AI-Normal and AI-Insane Sentinels aim only for HEROES. THIS IS NOT A BUG so do NOT report as bug. That makes Treant 300% more effective supporter.
47. Made some changes which cipd posted in forum about last hitting - also i made a dynamic last hit value of creep`s HP. That needs testing.. if it`s not working good i`ll change it back.
48. Fixed Diabolic Edict considering invulnerable buildings as valid targets and wasting some hits
49. When distress call AI will look for third tower and raxes to TP... now it will also look for the Left and Right 4th towers or the Throne/Tree to teleport, if raxes are dead.(not tested)
50. AI Normal have 1/3 chance to pay for consumables like salves, AI Insane have 25% to pay for consumables. Easy should pay always. Also wards and gems are now free for AI. The reason i made that is... that wards and gems waste too much cash and AI just sticks without gold.
51. You can -airepick many times now.
52. Hakuna matata bug prolly fixed (cipd)
53. Removed cipd`s defense patch by his request. Old BMP`s defense is up again.
54. Added -cn mode - coolnames mode... all bots gets a "+" infront of their names.(cipd)
55. Removed a bug with Medusa`s moving.
56. Removed teleporting to side shops.
57. Changed teleporting with boots/scrolls from target to point use.
58. Added Aghanim`s scepter to the item`s build of Juggernaut.. also tried to make him use the upgraded skill.
59. Balanar will use Darkness during the night... that way he prolongs it much further.
60. Fixed Undying and Visage not learning all the skills. Some heroes may have that problem too.
61. Minor adjustment (+50) to the extra aoe XP bounty(6.68)
62. Added new enemy command: -oroshanen - send the enemy heroes to fight Roshan. If u send your allies too... they can make an orgy there
63. Added item and skill builds to Slark. Also added some _basic_ AI for skill usage. Don`t expect wonders. I`m not done with him.
64. Naix - Casting Open Wounds no longer loses attack focus + memory leak fixed (6.68)
65. New ingame command added: -rn BotNewName .... where should be: Blue -> 1, Teal -> 2, Purple -> 3, Yellow -> 4, Orange -> 5 | Pink -> 7, Grey -> 8, Light Blue -> 9, Dark Green -> 10, Brown -> 11. Names must be max 19 chars long. They also get their "+" infront. Should not be like any other name in the game. And you have 10 renames per game.(tnx to GetTriggerUnit-)
66. Decided to release an AI+ version with the CIPD`s Defence patch. Which is better... i don`t know... hence the both versions.

Known problems:
=============

1. Crashes still going on. Maybe it is a skill or memory leak... we couldn`t track it... it`s just too random.
2. AI will use skills if Alchemist uses Concoction in their range
3. Kaldr`s Ice Blast is causing AI to use skills on the dummy unit.
4. Until level 11... AI will try to TP from fountain area... but sometimes will fail and they`ll buy another one... and sometimes they`ll have 2 slots with TPs. They`ll probably clear it the next time visiting fountain. That bug will be addressed for the next release.
5. There are still thousands of little incomplete and causing problems things... but that`s for now... until someone makes new AI framework from scratch!

List of Incomplete Ai:
Razor,Slark(basic AI),Admiral,Clockwerk,Invoker,Visage.
Here's also a list of Heroes that Ai uses and its worth making them to -airepick:
Alchemist,Spiritbreaker,Bristleback,Lycanthrope,Un dying,Lone Druid,Templar Assassin,Soul Keeper,Storm Spirit,Windrunner,Batrider,Tinker,Techies.

Just enjoy playing this great new Ai map guys and keep coming back here for the latest updates in Dota Allstars community.

Game Play and Cosmetics

* Added a new gold mechanic to the game

"Reliable Gold" - Any bounty you get from hero kills or from the extra "aoe kill gold" bonus (feature from few patches ago) is added to your Reliable Gold pool.

"Unreliable Gold" - It is everything else (creep kills, neutrals, etc).

Dying can only take away gold from your Unreliable Gold pool and not from your Reliable Gold. Buying items uses up your Unreliable Gold first before using your Reliable Gold.

An example: You have 910 total gold (500 Unreliable, 410 Reliable). If you buy Boots of Speed, you'll have 410 total gold left (0 Unreliable, 410 Reliable). However, if you bought Chainmail, you would have 360 Reliable Gold left.

The process is seamless to the user, you won't have to do anything extra to make it work. Your total gold is still displayed in the same place. Your Reliable Gold is displayed in your scoreboard title.

This is a new experimental idea that may be adjusted and tweaked over time depending on feedback and results after it is released. As always, let me know anything you want to see in future versions.

Buyback uses reliable gold first. There are some other plans and ideas for buyback adjustments in the future but I would like to see these changes stabilize first before considering further stuff. There may also be some other changes related to the aoe bounty in the future but I want to take it slow one step at a time and see how this change is reflected in games first.

* Support gold bounty gained for kills is now displayed ontop of each hero (not a change to bounty, but revealing the "extra" area bounty that was added a few patches ago, 16775)
* Minor adjustment (+50) to the extra aoe XP bounty
* Lane creeps vision from 1400/800 to 1100/800
* Day-Night now cycles at 25% faster rate
* The autozoom restore function in -zm is increased to give extra time to temporarily zoom in
* Game now displays a message to your allies if you buy back
* Added a -ub (-Unban) game mode to override the default -cm changed hero restrictions. You use this in combination with cm, -ubcm
* Reworked the -CM Ban and Picks process

Instead of 4 bans and then 5 picks, now it is 3 bans and then 3 picks followed by 2 bans and 2 picks.

Old CM:
=======
Summary: 4 bans then 5 picks.

Ban Phase: Each team bans 4 heroes. 40 Seconds for each step.
Process: 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1

Pick Phase: Each team then picks 5 heroes. 60 Seconds for each step.
Process: 1-2-2-2-2-1

60 seconds of extra time is provided in each team's time bank.

New CM:
=======
Summary: 3 bans then 3 picks then 2 bans then 2 picks.

Ban Phase #1: Each team bans 3 heroes. 30 seconds for each step
Process: 1-1-1-1-1-1

Pick Phase #1: Each team then picks 3 heroes. 50 seconds for each step.
Process: 1-2-2-1

Ban Phase #2: Each team then bans 2 heroes. 50 seconds for each step
Process: 1-1-1-1

Ban Phase #2: Each team then picks 2 heroes. 50 seconds for each step

Reliable and Unreliable Gold System in Dota 6.68

2010-07-28T00:21:00.000-07:00

Reliable and Unreliable Gold System in Dota 6.68. Another updates from Icefrog the developer of Dota-allstars that was been revealed for the upcoming Dota Allstars Version 6.68. This is all about the new gold system in the upcoming Dota Allstars Version 6.68

Here's what Icefrog tells about:

I've confirmed that there were new heroes coming in 6.68, but there are also some new features coming. Here is a preview of a new gold mechanic that introduces the concept of Reliable vs Unreliable Gold.

"Reliable Gold" - Any bounty you get from hero kills or from the extra "aoe kill gold" bonus (feature from few patches ago) is added to yourReliable Gold pool.

"Unreliable Gold" - It is everything else (creep kills, neutrals, etc).

Dying can only take away gold from your Unreliable Gold pool and not from your Reliable Gold. Buying items uses up your Unreliable Gold first before using your Reliable Gold.

An example: You have 910 total gold (500 Unreliable, 410 Reliable). If you buy Boots of Speed, you'll have 410 total gold left (0 Unreliable, 410 Reliable). However, if you bought Chainmail, you would have 360 Reliable Gold left.

The process is seamless to the user, you won't have to do anything extra to make it work. Your total gold is still displayed in the same place. YourReliable Gold is displayed in your scoreboard title.

This is a new experimental idea that may be adjusted and tweaked over time depending on feedback and results after it is released. As always, let me know anything you want to see in future versions.

Preview Video Of Dota 6.68 Map Hold Off | Delay of Dota 6.68 Preview Video

2010-07-27T23:45:00.000-07:00

Preview Video Of Dota 6.68 Map Hold Off | Delay of Dota 6.68 Preview Video. There is a sad news from Icefrog, yes! It's really exciting to know that Icefrog has a lot of surprises for the release of latest map which is dota6.68 and before the release of the said map there is a preview whihc is going to be make by Icefrog but the problem is there will be a delay of releasing of the preview video of the said map.

Here's what Icefrog said about the preview video of dota 6.68map:

With regards to the video trailer, I was originally planning to post it well in advance of the map release but I've decided to hold off on making it until more content is finalized. I'll post previews here when the map is mostly ready.

Dota 6.68 Update | Dota 6.68 is much more than half way through! Icefrog said.

2010-07-27T22:41:00.000-07:00

Dota 6.68 Update | Dota 6.68 is much more than half way through! Icefrog said. Dota-allstars community and Icefrog has just updated about the release of latest dota map which is v6.68 and the preview video from the said maps.

Here's what Icefrog wrote:

It is also because I can't be sure myself. It is not easy to accurately predict "it will take 1 week to make this hero fun", there is a good amount of experimentation and beta testing that is needed to arrive at that stage. And like you said, if I posted "June 26" and I missed it by a week or two, people would be upset. I also don't want to make my development goal be a date rather than the content, that style of development makes it easy to make bad decisions. I can tell you that I'll do my best to make sure any wait is worthwhile though. The only thing on my mind isDotA's development and future.

As for your request, I'd say its definitely much more than half way through.

Well said and done with Icefrog and atleast now we know when will be able to grab the latest version and when it will come. For the mean time, let's enjoy dota 6.67b Ai map just for now.

First I want to thank BMP for all his work on the AI maps. He has worked hard to make DotA players happy, so please show him your appreciation.

As some of you might know, BMP has retired from AI map development, and has finally located a successor to continue the development; Harreke. Harreke has been researching AI map technology for a while now and has been following BMP's work. He is dedicated to building the new AI maps based on BMP's code and to expand the map development process to allow for faster updates for future versions. He expects to release 6.67c AI soon and then prepare for the 6.68 AI map.

GoD-Tony Answers Buffmeplz | Sad News for all Dota AI Map Lovers

2010-07-23T18:41:00.000-07:00

GoD-Tony Answers Buffmeplz | Sad News for all Dota AI Map Lovers - Guys! It is really sad to know that after the Dota-allstars Ai develeper Buffmeplz ask God-TonY for conitnuing the job for developing Ai maps, God-TonY himself refuses and below is the press release wroted by himself.

Taking this blog in a slightly different direction, I'll write a bit about my thoughts on DotA AI and the retirement of BuffMePlz.

I recently received an email from BMP informing me of his decision, as well as his offer of general guidance to lead my own AI project. My first reaction was "Why didn't I get an email like this sooner?"

I believe that if an AI project had been worked together by a team of people, then it wouldn't have come down to this. It's really too much to take on by one person.

The idea of posting my Pre-Alpha builds of RGB's AI for the newest version at the time was to spark some interest in development in an otherwise dead scene. I knew BMP wasn't interested in wasting his time with people that thought they "could help" but couldn't do anything other than offer another opinion. This was a way of proving that there were certainly people interested in helping, myself and Cipd included

That was almost a year ago when my interest for developing AI was at it's peak, and when I received no response regarding those maps, I moved on to the next idea. This was to create an Open AI for DotA that could be ported to the latest version almost instantly, and Open in the sense that it would be very easy for others to contribute (especially open source).

Even though I completed the code-base for this project, it still needed some real AI to go along with it. This was back in January, and once again with no response or input from the ones I contacted, and the continuation of BMPs' ports of RGBs'maps, I decided that it was a wasted effort.

What I'm getting at here is that it's basically too little too late. I believe DotA for Warcraft 3 is near it's death. With Heroes of Newerth released just days ago, Starcraft 2 coming out this year, and the possibility of IceFrog moving on to Valve, by the time I created a decent AI, DotA would be on a different platform.

I don't see myself working on an AI for DotA now or in the future, and the only way I could see this changing is if some very ambitious developers came forward and teamed up as it should be done.

No More Dota AI Maps From Buffmeplz | Dota AI Map Creator Retires

2010-05-26T05:50:00.000-07:00

No More Dota AI Maps From Buffmeplz | Dota AI Map Creator Retires - A very sad news from Dota community! Buffmeplz who known as the developer of Dota AI maps retires. But as per Buffmeplz, he is looking for someone who will take over his work and start developing Dota AI maps. Let's see what comes next and hope for the better. You might want to see what he said below.

After much thought and consideration, I have decided to no longer continue my work on DotA AI maps. Between my increased work responsibilities, advancing on to the next stage of life, my waning interest in DotA, and the frustration from both dealing with thecommunity's demands and the community having to deal with my absences, I believe it is best for me to let this project go and move on. It was a fun two years, with updates on almost every version since 6.49 (we're up to 6.66b now, crazy!), but as lazyfiend/RGB said when he left, I find that working on this map is no longer enjoyable to me, and is in fact quite a burden. I've contacted GoD-Tony (killerbee) about taking over, and if he decides to, I'll try to help him get up to speed as much as possible. If not, I hope whomever takes my place will have as much fun as I did these past two years learning the ins and outs of JASS and the WC3 engine. My passion has always been with the Fun Taverns, and though I will not continue AI development I may occasionally release some maps on myblog with old heroes and/or original creations.

Icefrog Question and Answers Session 4 | Secrets Revealed by Icefrog

2010-05-02T20:45:00.000-07:00

Icefrog Question and Answers Session 4 | Secrets Revealed by Icefrog - This is for dota gamers and who's waiting for the updates of Icefrog of his Question and Answers Session 4, this is also for all the fans which is waiting for the updates for the new hero which will going to be release on the next map which is v6.68.

Q: When will we hear more about you and Valve? Some people say it will take 2-3 years, can you give us any clues? (from Zeyall)

A: It certainly won't take that long. There are a lot of very talented people here at Valve that are working hard on it every day to ensure high quality in a timely manner. We'll be making an announcement soon actually, and based on the feedback I've been getting since the last mention, I'm sure you all will be as excited as I am.

Q: Can you tell us how you first met Valve and how you like it so far? (from Sodoes)

A: It started off with an email from Valve where they mentioned that they were big fans of DotA wanted to fly me out to spend some time with them and visit their studio. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from the trip. After arriving and chatting with them, the first thing I noticed was how much of their decision making process was like mine. They shared the same aspirations towards building a long term and sustainable community without having short sighted business goals that end up hurting the quality of the game. One of the most important things for me though was that there wasn't going to be anyone standing above telling me how I should be doing things. They trust the developers that have experience to make the best decisions for their playerbase. The atmosphere at Valve allows everyone to be very comfortable and able to focus on what they love doing. It also doesn't hurt that they are huge DotA fans.. until their favorite heroes are nerfed, then I'm the bad guy for a week!

Q: How popular is DotA these days? (from china_white)

A: I can only give estimates based on getdota.com usage, because I can't track ingame downloads or fansites or downloads from China. It is roughly estimated (based on the statistics from popular Chinese sites) that the Chinese DotA audience is about 40-50% of the worldwide audience. Not counting China, the playerbase is estimated to be somewhere between 7-11 million. I expect the audience to grow even more in the not too distant future.

Q: Is your goal to make everything picked the same amount of times? (from j.walsh)

A: I don't think about it that way exactly. Sure it's good if there is a nice distribution and that is something to work towards, but really the goal in DotA's development is, first and foremost, to make the gameplay quality the best it can be. It is the combination of all the heroes, items and mechanics together that makes DotA what it is and not the individual elements alone. Sometimes that means certain things are carefully adjusted to be more frequent than others, sometimes it doesn't, but ultimately the main judge of a game's quality is not in some artificial balance metric, but in the overall gameplay quality and depth that it has.

Q: Can you tell us something about 6.68? (from Carlos)

A: It is still a work in progress and needs some time, but it will have new heroes, more balance improvements, and some new features as well. Here is one of the new heroes in development: Icarus, the Phoenix

Q: What do you think about DotA's future, will it continue to grow? (from Amir)

A: Definitely. I think players like to spend their time on something they both enjoy and trust. While DotA has a lot to offer now in terms of content and gameplay quality, I will always be working hard to improve it and all that work will be maintained when it matures to something that solves all the other non-gameplay elements that it needs to go to the next level. I think it is a good option for players that want to spend time on a game that will grow with them. It also has a very bright future in the competitive scene. In addition to the already announced SMM ($32,000), ESWC ($24,500), a soon to be announced online ($30,000) event and another huge offline event that will be revealed soon, there will also be an even bigger set of opportunities in the future for players that are dedicating their time and energy into DotA. I think players on all levels of play will be satisfied with their choice and experience with the game.

Q:Why are some heroes unavailable in -CM mode? (from Brandom Lim)

A: It is a largely experimental idea so it may or may not remain for the future. There are a lot of different reasons for it though. In some cases it's balance or bug-potential related. Other times it is done to limit the number of simultaneous changes so that certain changes can be more easily measured. In a lot of cases where the above aren't a factor, it is actually done to give enough opportunity for players to understand how to play with and against them and understand the strengths and weaknesses better. This also makes new versions less destabalizing for competitive gaming while still providing a continuous stream of fresh content. That being said though, I've gotten a lot of requests from players that use the mode for casual or semi-competitive play and miss omitted heroes, so I may add a subcommand to unlock all.

Q: What do you think about the fan support of competitive teams? (from Mooseman)

A: Fan support is, for the most part, very good. I think it's great how passionate many of them are about competitive DotA. At times, though, some of them can be a little too judgmental towards teams based on their last few consecutive wins or losses. They have a lot of pressure on them and sometimes they make mistakes or just want to relax and try something different. I don't think it is always fair to judge them for that. They also face top competition regularly, so its hard to win every time. Teams have a lot of pride and spend a lot of time practicing, so it can be demoralizing to them when some fans change their attitudes towards them so fast.

Q: Are we going to see more visual effects in the future? (from Zikaro)

A: Visual upgrades can be a good thing (and they will come in the future) but is extremely important to not add too much visual noise. You want a scene that has a nice atmosphere and theme but isn't too cluttered or shiny that it negatively affects gameplay by making it hard to tell what is going on.

Q: Should we expect to see any more loadscreens by Kunkka? (from 27302)

A: Yes, he is planning a new one now, but I can't tell you when it will be done since it depends on his free time.

Q: Do you use WC3 Editor by itself or other things as well? (from Sasha200)

A: Most of the map development is done outside of the editor actually. There are a lot of separate script files and program tools that are used together to create the map file.

Q: Any interesting bugs or features that were in beta maps? (from OpyyuRDs)

A: We once had a different ability for Techies that used the same visual art and sound effects from starcraft one for the ghost nuke. When he used it, a red indicator would appear on the ground like in Starcraft and then it would play the classic "Nuclear Launch Detected" audio. It sounded a lot cooler than it played out in practice and it was near the end of a beta cycle and had some balancing and design issues, so we decided to remove it instead of rush it in. As far as bugs go, Chaos Knight could pull towers in one beta version, so you were able to have a line of towers pushing on the enemy side!

Q: Will more heroes get an Aghanim upgrade to their ultimate? (from Akder)

A: Yea, I usually try to add some more every version or two. I think it's a good idea to add them in slowly though, instead of too many at once. I've also gotten more requests for extra graphic animations for the ones that already have, so I'll try to find suitable ones for those as well.

Q: What is the hardest part when developing dota? What risks are there? (from Bannion)

A: The hardest part is actually not the development itself, but in how to measure success. The thing I always try to work on the most is increasing the measurability/prediction of a successful patch. The goal is to be able to improve the development process and feedback systems for better accuracy to what reasonates best with players. The riskiest thing is making a change where it might take too long to discover its true impacts on the game where it becomes hard to reverse. We work really hard to eliminate that stuff early on in the theory phase with either careful analysis or specific beta testing.

Q: How do you decide when to release a new patch? (from VinceX)

A: There are two separate considerations for this. The first is frequency. If you update too frequently players do not get a chance to settle into the previous changes and learn the game, if you update too slowly then you aren't providing enough fresh content. It is a balance between the two that I'm always trying to find a happy medium between as I get more feedback from players. The second is when it's "ready". I usually release it as soon as I feel that the value we get out of more internal testing is too low compared to external feedback we'd get from the larger community. If we are still in the experimenting phase where we are trying out ideas then it's not ready. Once it feels like it needs external testing to be able to make more good decisions, then it is released. From my perspective, the game is in constant development and improvement regardless, it just becomes a matter of what is the most effective way to improve something.

Q: What takes the most time each patch? Researching, Balancing, Implementing or Bug Hunting? (from Enders)

A: The two most time consuming are usually research and experimentation. Research involves more than just playing the game, it's also watching replays, reading a wide range of feedback and talking with players. Experimentation is the other time consuming part. It would be fast to just reproduce a patch if I already knew exactly what to do, but the hard part is usually figuring out what you want to do and doing the proper testing before making changes.

Q: What are you most happy about with regards to DotA? (from Artem)

A: I am really thankful for all the support players have given this game, it is more than I could ask for. I see a vibrant community that, despite the very hard learning curve DotA has, grows through the dedication and passion of its players. That shows me how much more potential the game has and encourages me to work harder.
