Valve: Re-Sale the Major Tickets

Posted: 22 Feb 2017 02:26 AM PST

Karabas is a huge scam. NOT A SINGLE ticket was sold online and even locals were unable to buy ticket ON SITE.

What is this?

I legitimately planned on flying to Ukraine, waited 2 goddamn hours on the website (probably like thousands of others) just to witness this scam...

Edit: Wow this blew up... So as an update I think it needs to be stated that people were able to buy tickets online - however mostly only via direct API calls (some said they were even able to buy it via the website but only hours later) and only way after official statements were made that everything is sold out. I guess many left frustrated when there were still chances to get tickets. FeelsBadMan. Still quite a sh*tshow if you ask me.

For gods sake make AFK guys abandon in pick phase!

Posted: 21 Feb 2017 11:49 PM PST

It is really anoying, guy is afk we need mid, he randoms Chen GGWP. Easy minus 25, i had to tank the abandon, ty valve.

Edit: since some people want to misread: If you leave in the first 5 minutes no mmr is counted, if the player comes back min 4 sth or FB you can not abandon anymore all loosing players loose -25. So if you leave before fb or min 5, only you take -25, the game is safe to leave, also alot more time is saved since the first 5 min are crucial in doto (even I a 3k pleb knows that)

PSA: The Kiev Major live coverage inside the venue will be in RUSSIAN.

Posted: 22 Feb 2017 05:29 AM PST

I feel like this was extremely important information for anyone outside of Ukraine/Russia to mention in the official dota2 blog post.

I understand why that was the deal with Shanghai, because literally everyone around there spoke chinese apart from people willing to travel really far, but I feel hosting Major in Ukraine would definitely bring in a lot of english speaking people.

I guess I'm kinda happy that I didn't get to book my tickets then.

I think Valve should learn from FIFA the way to sell tickets to major tournaments.

Posted: 22 Feb 2017 02:12 AM PST

FIFA uses "fan passports" and sell tickets only to identified person. This actually prevent tickets reselling and several other problems. Sure it is a bit of a inconvenience, but it is better, than what is happening right now with all this hype around every major tournament.

This little 'See my hats' button - can we have it back?

Posted: 21 Feb 2017 08:26 PM PST

Dota has really got to warn us when we get muted.

Posted: 22 Feb 2017 04:54 AM PST

No pop up, no mention in chat, nothing at all. There's no chatwheel option, nothing to tell your teammates you're muted. Can't even draw on the map. What in the fuck is this?

Edit: IT'S 24 HOURS? Why not just ban playing ranked for 24 hours? Why not just mute text and leave voice open? Why is the report system still 3 choices Valve?

Centaur weapon textures are broken

I know "noone" cares about All-Hero Challenge, but...

Posted: 22 Feb 2017 09:10 AM PST

...the rewards are laughable. You need to win 113 times, which on average take 228 games. An average game lasts ~45 minutes, thus you need 85 hours of playtime for one pass! And you get 2 profile levels (200 trophy points) as a reward. No cool set, no arcana (kappa), nothing. There are also next levels for the crazy people out there, 500 points for 5 passes and 900 for 10. So, bump the rewards for those that care, please Volvo.
