  • New Hero

Zharvakko, the Witch Doctor[edit]

General Changes[edit]

  • New loading screen art
  • -creepstats (-cs) added for those who wish to track their creep killing/denying stats
  • In regular pick, you get back 175 from the 250 hero gold cost (not -lm)
  • Chaos Damage now does same as hero damage to structures, 50% instead of 100%
  • -moderandom (-mr) randomly picks a mode from ar/ap/tr/regular
  • The Circle of Power now has one inventory slot to use as a temp slot when creating items (for those who have the unfortunate luck of dealing with item stealers)
  • Assassinate and Rupture now have status buff icons
  • Change attribute bonus hotkey from B to U to help fix some hotkey conflicts
  • Hellcaller tweaked a bit
  • -allagi (-aa) / -allint (-ai) / -allstr (-as)
  • Aegis removed from -dm
  • Neutral Ancients can no longer attack towers (abuse precaution)
  • Cleaner game end dialog and somewhat smoother exit
  • Scythe changes unit to a sheep instead of a chicken, like it says. All stats still same
  • TB base hp accidentally 50 lower due to a typo, so his base hp was increased by 50 but str reduced by 2 to keep it similar
  • The game now says random or repicked instead of just "chosen" when a hero enters
  • TDA specific game rules updated

Bug Fixes[edit]

  • Fixed a range hero abuse against ancient creeps
  • Fixed a major abusable DM bug (Thx to Drak and others that reported it discretely)
  • Fixed the LM mode to spawn the neutral creeps at the same time offset as the other modes
  • Fixed wrong player number display on circle of power
  • Fixed a bug with DMAR that allowed repicking and screwing up the hero count
  • Fixed a bug with Bloodlust Multicast where it wouldn't pick Ogre Magi as a potential target
  • PA/Riki Blink Strike bug where you could target yourself is fixed
  • Fixed Lifestealer's Poison Sting and Viper's Poison Attack buff icons
  • Fixed a bunch of learn hotkey conflicts
  • Many typos fixed
  • Smoke Screen typo
  • Fixed a typo on the Spirit Bear's Entangle

Notes[edit]

  • This version was going to be released in 2 weeks but with recent abuses on morphling/necro, I decided to just release it now. This doesn't have as much new content as I had planned, however, you can expect new content to flow in at a steady rate.
  • Lord of Avernus will be looked into in the next few versions to make him less boring. Morphling adapt will probably get reworked in the near future as well.
  • Thanks to the beta testers for their help; switch and minotaar for icons; Terrorblaze for hero descriptions. Special thanks to mercurial for the new 100% hand drawn loading screen art. He worked on it for over a month. We almost couldn't use it, we spent all of Thursday evening trying to properly compress it due to blizzard format issues. A desktop wallpaper version of it is available at http://mercurialxen.deviantart.com
