Recommended Replay

Kali ini saya ingin berbagi satu replay dota yang sangat seru (menurut saya). Di replay ini, bisa dilihat penampilan beberapa hero baru, item baru, dan hero yang jarang digunakan di pertandingan dota. Tapi,
apa sih replay dota? Di permainan dota yang menggunakan engine WarCraft III The Frozen Throne, ada fasilits untuk menyimpan rekaman permainan ke dalam satu berkas berekstensi w3g. Berkas catatan permainan ini berfungsi seperti video rekaman, bahkan lebih lengkap karena kita bisa melihat semua kondisi hero-hero yang bermain.

Saya menemukan replay ini di bagian Inhouse Matches di forum playdota. Judulnya adalah TR^plzgogame vs Nv.fear. Berhubung saya salah ssatu fans Fear sejak zaman complexity dulu (zaman coL.Fear merajalela), langsung saja saya unduh :D. Awalnya saya rada pesimis melihat lawannya, dalam hati saya, kok lawannya nggak terkenal gini ya? Ternyata saya salah :P, TR^plzgogame adalah nickname baru dari pgg (siapa yang bisa melupakan imba-nya Puck dan Chen pgg? Yang nggak kenal dota tentu saja :P) yang juga salah satu pemain dota yang terkenal.

Saya unduh berkas replay, lalu saya jalankan. Melihat banned hero saya masih belum bisa menebak seperti apa game akan berjalan, karena hero yang di banned cukup seimbang: N'aix, Doom, Nevermore, Lanaya.
Sesi pemilihan hero dimulai dari sisi Sentinel dengan hero baru: Ancient Apparition. Hm... menarik juga. Hero ini cukup fleksibel, dia bisa digunakan sebagai ganker, caster dan assassin/finisher. Scourage memilih Rylai (Crystal Maiden) dan Slardar. Combo standar, dual stunner, slower, ganker, late gamer Slardar dengan baby sitter Maiden sekaligus sebagai warder (ward b*tch).
Sentinel dengan Alchemist (Stunner, Tanker, 2nd pusher) dan Pugna (heavy pusher, caster). Scourage cukup membuat kejutan dengan BatRider dan Medusa. Medusa, seperti yang kita tahu, cukup susah untuk di-counter. Hero ini cukup lengkap persenjataannya: nuke + mana stealing, damage reduction, damage splitter dan heavy area slow. Lengkap: pusher, nuker, soloer, carry, semi-tanker. Serupa dengna BatRider, walau dia lebih ke nuker/caster.
Sentinel agak lama memikirkan cara meng-counter Medusa, tapi di hero pool ada Obsidian Destroyer. Pas. Salah satu counter yang sempurna untuk Medusa adalah Obsi: intelligent stealling = no mana Medusa, pure damage orb = gg mana shield / no damage reduction, aura = unlimited mana (walau Scourage memiliki Maiden), dan ultimate yang berdasarkan beda intelligent = dead Medusa (Medusa hero agility). Obsi ditemani Lycan (ganker, finisher, pusher). Scourage mengahiri sesi pemilihan hero dengan Tiny (ganker, caster, pusher).

Line-up Sentinel: Obsi carry/caster solo mid, Pugna pusher/caster solo bot, dual lane Ancient dan Alchemist top dengan Lycan jungle.
Line-up Scourage: Medusa carry solo mid, Maiden+Slardar dual lane bot, dan dual lane top Tiny dan BatRider. Walau bisa dibilang solo Tiny karena BarRider roaming.

Permainan berjalan seru. Seru sekali. XBOCTofHeaven (Kalau tidak salah, nickname LightOfHeaven, salah satu pemain dota terkenal) memainkan Pugna yang flawless.... Tidak hanya bertahan dari dual stunner + slower Maiden+Slardar, tapi malahan mampu menekan Scourage dan mendapat beberapa kill. Luar biasa. Empat jari untuk Pugna oleh XBOCTofHeaven. Buat fans Pugna (saya) dan ingin melihat contoh permainan Pugna yang bagus (saya) dan ingin melihat Pugna owning (saya), replay ini sangat-sangat-sangat direkomendasikan.

Di mid lane, Obsi berhasil menekan Medusa habis-habisan bahkan membunuh Medusa setelah menghabiskan intelligent dengan Astral Imprisonment+Sanity's Eclipse. Namun top lane cukup berat untuk Sentinel, karena beberapa kali hero Sentinel mati terkena combo nuke Tiny+BatRider.

War sering terjadi, ganking, dan beberapa kill yang membuat saya WTF?!? LOL seperti misalnya pada sekitar menit ke 30, dimana terjadi war di hutan atas Scourage, yang diakhiri dengan Obsidian Destroyer yang dimainkan TR^Azen mendapat triple kill (double kill Maiden-Medusa dengan Sanity's Eclipse, satu kill tambahan Tiny dengan Arcane Orb).

Di replay ini bisa dilihat kekuatan Pugna+Aghanim Scepter, Ancient dan Obsidian. Its recommended!! (walau Fear kalah di permainan ini :D)

nb: replay membutuhkan dota map versi 6.67c dan WarCraft III The Frozen Throne versi 1.24e. Silakan unduh map dan patch yang sesuai.

nb2: replay bisa diunduh di sini.

» Click to show Details- click again to hide... «

Provides:

Each usage of the item decreases the charge by 1.

Each hero death can only charge up one of these items per death, so more than one hero having this will not increase the charges for both of the items.

Can be cast on an ally to heal, dispels on non-creep damage. Can alternatively be cast on an enemy hero to do half the heal (200) as damage over 8 seconds.

Heal: 400 HP over 8 seconds
Cooldown: 10

Scroll of Town Portal
- Reworked mechanics

- The casting time system for scroll teleports are now dynamic.

» Click to show Details- click again to hide... «

Whenever a hero teleports to an area, it causes any other teleports to that area to be delayed with extra time based on the number of heroes that teleported or are teleporting there. Each teleport leaves has memory lasts about 20 seconds for that location.

This does not affect teleports to the fountain area (it accounts for rough areas around shop area as well).

Example: First hero teleports to his tower, he takes the usual 3 seconds casting time. Then lets say the 3 other heroes teleport right after. The second one that telports after the original has a 5 second teleport time. Then 6 seconds, 7, etc.

- Teleport location effect no longer lies to the enemies about the landing spot

- Enemies now see the colors of the teleporting heroes

- Increases max range on where you can choose teleport near a building from 350 to 525

- The color of the teleport effect changes if you are in delayed teleport mode. It goes to normal once you have the standard 3 seconds left. So both sides can tell if its a quick or a delayed teleport and time things accoringly.


Aghanim's Scepter
- Added support for Axe. Cooldown decreased from 75/65/55 to 20

Boots of Speed
- Now available in the side shops

Hm.... kalau dari changelog-nya, saya agak kurang suka dengan Medusa (ultimate jadi lebih lama cooldown-nya, dan penurunan stat Razor. Razor yang krupuk jadi makin tipis seperti kertas.... Remake Visage cukup menarik. Item baru juga cukup menarik, bagus untuk hero support. Perubahan cooldown ultimate Axe dengan Aghanim cukup imba kalau menurut saya. 20 detik itu terlalu sebentar, mungkin 30 detik jika menurut saya. Fungsi on/off damage aura di Radiance cukup berguna, misalnya jika kita dikejar dan berusaha juking. Lalu nice buff di banyak hero (Leshy, Mirandul, Pud-Ndut, Nite Stalkos, Neix). Tidak sabar mencoba hero baru dan hero remake.....

Selamat bermain!!

Dengan ukuran berkas yang lebih besar dari peta terdahulu, peta kali ini membawa berbagai perubahan, baik permainan maupun grafis. Pendapat saya pribadi, saya paling tidak suka perubahan powertread dan phaseboot. Lalu penurunan strength growth Enchantress, hero ini sudah "krupuk", strength-nya dikurangi lagi..... ck ck ck ck... Makin "tipis" deh....
Perubahan resep Mjolnir bisa dimaklumi, sebab dengan resep yang lama, hanya sedikit hero yang bisa memanfaatkannya, paling hero agility, itu juga hanya beberapa. Dengan resep yang baru, hero strength juga bisa memanfaatkannya.
Penaikan strength Lanaya sudah ditunggu,s ebab hero ini benar-benar "krupuk", HP-nya tipiiiissss bner.....
Naga Siren-nya OK banget! Level 1 Mirror Image sudah mengerikan.... gegegegege....
Night Stalker juga bagus! Biar siang-siang bisa agak ditakuti hehehehe....

Silakan unduh, dan silakan coba mainkan. Selamat bermain!

Newest Update

IceFrog, pengelola peta permainan DotA, kemarin lusa merilis peta terbaru, v6.62. Rilis kali ini masih berkaitan dengan heboh dota bervirus, dan pembaruan yang dilakukan Blizzard. Peta tersebut bisa diunduh di sini.

Berikut changelog berdasar getdota:

* Full map rewrite to the new 1.24 code architecture

Check my blog at http://www.playdota.com/forums/blogs/icefrog/ if you want to know more about 1.24 and 6.62.

Because of the amount of new code in this patch, I recommend tournaments wait at least a few days before adopting it.

Sedangkan untuk rebalance dan yang lain, akan dilakukan di versi berikutnya (v6.63 jika bisa, 6.62b jika kritis), rilis kali ini hanya untuk menyesuaikan dengan kode baru dari Blizzard.

Bersamaan dengan rilis ini, Blizzard juga merilis penambal terbaru, 1.24b. Anda bisa mengunduh penambal terbaru tersebut di server Blizzard. Untuk penambal 1.24a ke 1.24b, bisa anda unduh di sini, sedangkan penambal penuh di sini.

Changelog dari 1.24a ke 1.24b adalah:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARCRAFT III: THE FROZEN THRONE VERSION HISTORY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Patch 1.24b
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

PC WORLD EDITOR CHANGES

- Increased max map file size from 4 MB to 8 MB.
- Added the ability to store hashtable handles in a hashtable.
- Added GetSpellTargetX and GetSpellTargetY natives.
- Added a new base handle type “Agent” of which many types now extend from.
- Added a SaveAgentHandle native which can be used for saving most handle types.
- Added a JASS optimization dealing with global variable change events.

FIXES

- Fixed a few false positives caused by the "return bug" fix.
- Fixed a crash related to hashtable reference counting.
- “Shadowing” global variables with local variables no longer is possible.
- Fixed a type conversion dealing with operators (i.e. adding a handle with an integer).

Dari chanelog diatas, yang paling menggembirakan saya (dan penggemar DotA lainnya) adalah:

- Increased max map file size from 4 MB to 8 MB.

Kenapa? Karena dengan penambahan batas peta, berarti IceFrog bisa memasukkan berbagai fitur baru dan yang paling penting adalah... KOSMETIK BARU!!! YAY!!!!
Saya sih tetap berharap semoga penambahan besar peta tidak membuat DotA menjadi semakin berat... kasihan komputer uzur saya.....

Catatan: Untuk menggunakan penambal 1.24a ke 1.24b, anda harus memiliki versi 1.24a terlebih dahulu. Anda bisa menemukannya penambal ke versi 1.24a di sini.

Cerita lain,
Hari ini berbagai peristiwa besar 'melanda' teman-teman saya: teman satu angkatan saya wisuda hari ini, dan teman sma saya sidang untuk tugas akhirnya. Wah, hari yang menggembirakan.....

Critical!

Para pencinta wanita, eh salah, dota pasti sudah tahu mengenai kabar map bervirus yang sedang melanda battle.net. Jika kita memainkan map bervirus ini, maka komputer kita akan ter-install malware. Celah ini menyerang semua versi Warcraft III The Frozen Throne, sampai ke versi terbaru 1.23.

Menghadapi hal ini, Blizzard segera melakukan penambalan ke game mereka. Tambalan yang dikeluarkan ini memiliki versi 1.24. Untuk mengunduh tambalan ini, awalnya kita diharuskan melakukan pengunduhan secara langsung melalui battle.net. Nah, untuk yang memiliki koneksi internet pas-pasan, atau yang Warcraft-nya aspal (seperti saya, ehm...ehm...), sekarang sudah bisa mengunduh tambalan secara manual.

Tambalan terbaru tersebut bisa diunduh dari sini. Ukuran berkas sekitar 1,23 MB. Setelah selesai, jalankan, dan secara otomatis penambal ini akan melakukan penambalan.

Changelog dari penambal 1.24 ini adalah sebagai berikut:

----------------------------------------------------------------
WARCRAFT III: THE FROZEN THRONE VERSION HISTORY
----------------------------------------------------------------

Patch 1.24
----------------------------------------------------------------
PC WORLD EDITOR CHANGES

- Added new JASS hash table functions to replace the lost functionality from
fixing unsafe type casting.
- Hash Table - Save Item Handle
- Hash Table - Save Unit Handle
- ...
- Hash Table - Load Item Handle
- Hash Table - Load Unit Handle
- ...
- Hash Table - Get Handle ID

FIXES

- Fixed an exploit related to unsafe type casting that allowed users to
execute arbitrary code in maps.
- Fixed the JASS unsafe type casting exploit ("return bug").
- Fixed several World Editor crashes.

Catatan: penambal offline ini hanya dapat digunakan untuk Warcraft versi INSTALL, BUKAN versi PORTABLE. Untuk pengguna Warcraft portable, silakan gunakan cara manual dengan melakukan salin-tempel berkas (silakan buka forum indogamers bagian Advance DOTA untuk keterangan lebih lanjut).

Old Watcher's:
==============
Cooldown: 30/20/10/5 seconds
Movement Speed: 522
HP: 1
Bounty: 10-13
Vision: 1400/1400
Invisible

Urna Swarm:
============
Summons scarabs from corpses. The Scarab can burrow and become invisible.
While it is unburrowed, it is visible to the enemy and has an Infestation
ability. Has collision when unburrowed.
Magic Immune.

Cooldown: 14/11/8/5
Movement Speed: 450
HP: 200
Armor: 6
Bounty: 26-38
Burrowed Vision: 400/400
Normal Vision: 1400/1400

Infestation: Can suicide to Silence enemy units 275 aoe around it for 3 seconds and deal 20 damage per second (non-stacking).

Dari perubahan-perubahan diatas, yang paling saya sukai adalah perubahan pada Medusa (pengurangan cooldown Stone Gaze: 70 sec ---> 35 sec, di v6.60 terlalu lama untuk durasi efek yang sebentar) dan pengembalian damage Searing Arrow (Boneclinks: 50 dmg level 4. Peningkatan, walaupun belum menyamai dmg asli, 60 dmg level 4 v.6.38).

Namun jangan dilupakan juga perubahan pada Sniper dimana total range meningkat dari 770 (level 4 Take Aim pada peta sampai v6.60b) menjadi 810 (level 4 Take Aim di peta v6.61). Dengan begini, Sniper dapat menembaki Fountain lawan asalkan memiliki line of sight XD.

Peningkatan agility pada Vengefull Spirit membuat hero ini dapat dimainkan dengan build lain, ganker-killing build, bukan hanya sebagai ganker-ward build.

Jadi, tak perlu menunggu lebih lama lagi, silakan unduh petanya di sini, dan nikmati permainan anda!

DotA Custome

Saya beberapa hari lalu iseng mempraktekkan cara kustomisasi dota yang (sebenarnya) sudah lama ada di situs official dota (dahulu), dota-allstars.com (sekarang situs official dota pindah ke playdota.com). Lumayan, sembari mengisi waktu luang. Tampilan layout yang sebelumnya seperti ini:



Bisa diubah menjadi bermacam-macam: Snow (sama dengan terrain snow asli bawaan dota), Barren, Highland, Beach, Hell.

Caranya:

1. Backup folder Warcraft III anda dengan cara menyalinnya ke tempat lain. Disarankan menyalin satu folder semua, walau sebenarnya hanya berkas War3Patch.mpg yang akan diutak-atik.
   
2. Unduh Dota Theme Manager di sini.
   
3. Urai berkas hasil unduhan ke lokasi tempat Warcraft III anda berada
   


4. Jalankan Dota Theme Manager dengan mengklik ganda DTMV4.exe di dalam folder hasil uraian tadi
   


5. Pilih tema ataupun UI (User Interface, bagian seperti frame tempat item, jam, dll). Untuk UI, aplikasikan setelah anda memilih tema. Jika anda memilih UI sebelum tema, maka UI anda akan ditimpa oleh UI default dota (Warcraft III). Tunggu prses hingga selesai
   


6. Selesai, silakan jalankan dota anda.

Tampilannya kira-kira seperti ini:

1. Tema Highland:
   
   
   
   
2. Tema Barren:
   
   
   
3. Tema Beach:
   
   

Untuk UI: Panda dengan tema Barren


Saya sendiri suka tema Barren dikarenakan warnanya yang cukup terang (tidak seterang Snow, tetapi lebih terang dari Hell maupun tema default), kesan bersih, dengan warna dauh pepohonan yang bagus. Ukuran dari pohon yang tidak terlalu besar dan rumit, membuat saya lebih mudah untuk juggling di hutan dikarenakan kita bisa dengan mudah melihat spot-spot strategis (blind spot dan sebagainya). Last hit juga lebih mudah.

PERHATIAN!!!! Beberapa server battlenet melarang penggunaan perangkat lunak kustomisasi seperti ini. Jika anda nekat menggunakan dota kustom di server seperti ini, anda bisa kena USER-BAN hingga IP-BAN!!!! Jadi sebelum anda menggunakan dota kustom untuk battlenet, silakan cek dahulu kebijakan server yang anda gunakan. Dan saya tidak bertanggung jawab jika terjadi kerusakan pada segala sesuatu milik anda. Lakukan kustomisasi ini dengan resiko anda tanggung sendiri.

Jadi, sudahkah anda siap melihat Lina berbikini ria di pantai (tema Beach)????????
(just kidding) LOL.....

Changelog for v6.60 (Part 3: Others)

Changelog for v6.60 (Part 1: Heroes)
Changelog for v6.60 (Part 2: Items)

Misc Highlight

• Reorganized heroes into taverns based on hero class. There are now 3 taverns per class, the "good" tavern has the heroes that are easier to recognize as "good", the evil tavern has the heroes that are easier to recognize as "evil" and the mix as the ones that are in between. In each tavern the heroes are organized inside of it by alphabet. The Taverns are colored according to the class. For example, the good Intelligence tavern is Blue with the color darkening as it goes to the evil side.
  
• Side shops are now organized independent from their item slot in their original stores. This also fixes hotkey conflict issues.
  
• Reworked the side shop item layouts. There are now two shops there, a Goblin Laboratory and a Goblin Merchant. New items have been added to these shops. The complete listing of the items in there:

  >Goblin Laboratory: Scroll of Town Portal, Magic Stick, Sobi Mask, Stout Shield, Ring of Regeneration, Ring of Health, Cloak, Helm of Iron Will, Mask of Death
  Goblin Merchant: Slippers of Agility, Boots of Elvenskin, Belt of Giant Strength, Robe of the Mage, Quelling Blade, Gloves of Haste, Blades of Attack, Quarterstaff, Talisman of Evasion, Kelen's Dagger, Ultimate Orb.
  
  
• Reorganized all the recipe shops. The goals are both to make room for the recently added items and more importantly to organize them in a manner that makes guessing correctly where an item is an easy task for both existing and new players. I know none of us like to relearn item layouts, but this is a good thing to do for the long run. There are 6 recipe shops now in the following order:
  
  » Click to show Details- click again to hide... «
  
  
  >Gateway Relics: Misc items that are primarily early game upgrades
  Supportive Vestments: Various support style items that you get for your team
  Arcane Sanctum: Castable or spell heavy themed items
  Protectorate: Has mainly defensive/survival style items
  Enchanted Artificats: Mostly orb effect items (with the exception of Yasha)
  Ancient Weaponry: All other weapon items.
  Note: I'm aware that Aegis is no longer needed in the shops, but I'm keeping it there until we need the space to help new users be aware of its existance through Roshan.
  
  

Modes & Commands

• Added a new game mode -cd (-CaptainsDraft) [details below]
  
• Added a new game mode -rs (-randomside) to randomize which side your team starts in. This does not shuffle the players. It just places a team randomly as either Sentinel or Scourge.
  
• Added -random Intelligence/Strength/Agility. It gives you 100 less bonus gold than the 250 bonus gold the regular -random gives you.
  
• Added a new -tips system.If you enter the command, the game will give you 5 pointers (at various stages in the game) that are unique to each hero to help you get the basics down. These are not intended to imply guideliens on how to play a hero, but rather as simple tips if you are new with that hero. These are a work in progress.
  
• Added -water random
  
• -water now supports any color combinations using -water r g b format
  
• You can now change the terrain using -terrain snow on a per user basis. It is no longer a game mode. The "-terrain" or "-terrain default" command reverts the terrain to its normal state. Some of the other terrain modes you guys have emailed me about are still being worked on. I disabled them from this version because of some glitches they cause that haven't been fixed yet. I will work on them more in the future if you guys want them.
  
• Added -disablehelp to Force Staff
  
• Added a command to display bonus gold received from Goblins Greed (-gg)
  
• Added -aa (Arrow Accuracy) for Elune's Arrow hit percentages
  
• -disablehelp now prevents items from being picked up by non-owners from the fountain area
  
• -oi is turned on by default in observer games. Using -oi will disable it instead.
  
• Added a sub command to -om that disables neutral spawns
  
• Added a player only command "rollhero" or "-rh" to randomly display a heroname. This has no actual functional effect in the game, just a small easy command that some players wanted for their play groups.
  
• AFK detection no longer considers a player to be AFK during the drafting phases of some game modes
  
• Switch is disabled by default. Added a new temporary game mode -switchon (-so). Haven't developed a new replacement system for switch yet. There are a few ideas I experimented with but nothing final yet. Based on the feedback I've gotten, I think the best thing to do is to disable it by default and allow a mode for it until a more suitable usage of it can be implemented.
  
• Improved the text presentation of -switch a little bit so the text is less intrusive

Gameplay & Performance

• Added a few new terrain paths. Here are the rough areas that a change has been done in:
  
  » Click to show Details- click again to hide... «
  
  
  >- To the right of the Sentinel Secret Shop above the ramp
  - Above the Sentinel Goblin Shop
  - Between the forest and the top Scourge lane
  - Right side of sent jungle
  - To the right of the second top Sentinel tower
  - Added a new tree to the Scourge jungle

  » Click to show Details- click again to hide... «
  
  
  >- The "regen armor" is stripped away whenever there are nearby creeps (or corpses). It gets restored once 15 seconds elapse without a nearby unit.
  - If a tower or rax takes damage without the regen armor, that life lost can never be naturally regenerated. If it does have the regen armor, then it will regenerate at a rate of 40hp/seconds and take only 25% damage from illusions.
  - Flagged areas are 1) All places considered in or near base 2) second Top Tower 3) second Mid Tower 4) second Bot Tower.
  
  
• Increased the non-splitting portion of the xp/gold from 8/level xp & 40 gold to 12*level xp & 30+5*level
  
• The non-splitting xp/gold bonuses are now doubled for EM like the rest of the xp/bounty system is

Mode Remake

• Captains Draft:
  
  » Click to show Details- click again to hide... «
  
  
  ===============
  24 Heroes are randomly allocated in a circle (like RD). The 24 consist of 8 random Intelligence/Agility/Strength heroes, sorted in that order along the circle.
  Each team has a total time bank of 2.5 minutes. Blue/Pink draft the heroes for their entire team.
  Blue and Pink start off by alternating 1/1/1/1 ban picks.
  It then goes into a 1/2/2/2/2/1 hero draft.
  Once a hero picks/bans a hero, it immediately switches to the other player to act.
  Your timer is shown in read when it is your turn to act.
  I am considering implementing a new order for the bans for this mode in the future. The bans would not all happen before the pick process, it would be in between picks. I decided to keep it the traditional way for now and get some feedback on alternatives.

Notes

• Thanks to everyone that helped test this version and to all the players that have sent their feedback and requests in. There are many changes in this patch, some depend on the other one, so you'll need to play it a bit to get a good idea for how things play out in practice. That being said, don't hesitate to give me your first impressions and your overall feelings towards the update. There will probably be a 6.60b or a 6.61 to follow this one, so let me know any mistakes you find or any suggestions for stuff to change.

  Note: The 400 damage is before any magic reductions, not after. So a 300 damage spell removes 300 life from the shield, and not the 225 basic spell resistance. It is taken off the shield before it hits you, thus before any magic resistance is taken into effect.
