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.

Just One More Step...

Sore tadi sekitar jam setengah empat, ponsel saya menyanyikan Russian Roulette-nya Rihanna. Selesai menerima telepon, saya gembira sekali, sampai melompat-lompat :D. Telepon tadi mengabarkan kalau hasil tes psikometri dan bahasa Inggris (plus wawancara dalam bahasa Inggris) saya memenuhi syarat untuk mengikuti tes kesehatan. YAY!!!! Alhamdulillah.... satu langkah lagi... semoga lancar ya Allah... :D

Sebenarnya cuma ingin share kebahagiaan itu aja sih, tapi karena sepertinya kok terlalu pendek, jadi saya tambah dua hal yang nggak penting pake banget :D
Kemarin iseng melihat situs DotA, eh ternyata IceFrog sudah merilis peta terbaru, versi 6.67b. Huh?!? B?!? Yup, saya kelewatan yang versi 6.67-nya :D. Btw, changelog-nya cukup panjang, tapi yang menarik perhatian saya adalah adanya mode baru: Capture Point. Intinya sih semacam permainan capture flag, hanya bedanya di sini bendera diganti dengan lokasi dan membutuhkan waktu beberapa saat sebelum satu titik captured. Selain itu tiap lokasi memberikan buff yang berbeda-beda ke tim, ada regen, damage, armor, as dan ms. Menarik.
Yang lain, remake beberapa skil hero: Luna (aura %dmg --> aura pure dmg + range night vision), Maknyus (great cleave --> Skewer, Empower --> dmg+cleave) , Po-on (mata--> burung asli warcraft+bisa nyerang), Bon-cling-cling (ultimate), Semut <--> kumbang (tukeran skill, semut dapet skil baru, manggil serangga nempel ke musuh), dan Si Buta dari Goa DotA (isep-isep --> isep-isep musu atau ngasih nyawa ke temen).
Lalu ada item baru: Ethereal Blade (dagon versi agility. Seperti gabungan dagon dan skil pasif ii-maru) dan Soul Ring (RoR + Sobi. Poor mans arcane ring :D). Sisanya tweak-tweak, eye candy (aduh, sakit banget ni, permen masuk mata :P) bug-fix dll, dsb. Selengkapnya baca saja di sini.

Hm.. .yang kedua (tiga), ketemu lagu bagus: Alex Swings Oscar Sings album Heart 4 Sale dan Krassimir Avramov album Popera. Keduanya awalnya dengar dari Eurovision Song Contest Moscow 2009, kok bagus, carilah albumnya dan dapat >:). Yang Krassimir ini album lawas, dari tahun 2005. Krassimir ini male sopran, suaranya smooth banget. Enak deh :). Kalau si Alex-Oscar ini, duo aliran swing. Keren, jadi pengen goyang-goyang hahahahaha :)). Dari album Heart 4 Sale, kesukaan saya itu lagu yang judulnya Heart 4 Sale. Soft jazz tapi enaaaaaaak banget :D (I'm not fan of Jazz <-- this is one kind of music I can't understand LOL). Kalau dari Krassimir, Bolero, Just Let It Be, Aria dan Madness of Greatness. Coba saja dicari, siapa tahu cocok dengan seleranya (or pm me for the link >:) LOL)

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).

Dota Map v6.61


Peta DotA terbaru baru saja keluar. Fokus dari rilis peta ini adalah pembenahan bug dan rebalance dari rilis sebelumnya. Changelog lengkapnya dapat dibaca dibawah ini:

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


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!

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


  • 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... «



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... «

  • The non-splitting xp/gold bonuses are now doubled for EM like the rest of the xp/bounty system is
  • Changed the damage type of the first tower to be Siege like the rest of the towers. Adjusted the damage table to keep the damage creeps take in the laning phase unchanged.
  • Tower does not regenerate from allied damage (when trying to deny)

Cosmetic & Misc


  • Added two new hero kill sounds for 4x and 5x kills
  • Added hero and creep stats to the scoreboard title by default
  • Deny visual effect is shown by default now. -cson/off toggles it on and off. -di functionalities (and some extras) are now enabled by default.

  • Silencer Intelligence stealing is now displayed as green for the +1 and red for the -1

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.
