Dota 6.67 news!?

[nEr0.]

IceFrog has just made a post about the new features for Dota 6.67. The first one is the zoom ability for the observers. As you know, it's pretty difficult to keep touch with all part of the Dota game with the current Warcraft 3 default view. This update hopefully will help the observer maintain a larger area and can spot the interesting event faster. Another one is a new game mode, Capture Point! How long since we got a new game mode guys? I can't remember it. Capture Point is kinda fun mode with bonus aura for your team if you manage to capture it. Curious? Check out the complete quote from IceFrog blog:

Hey guys, I just want to share some small information about the upcoming patch. It is too early for me to give a complete list of features or changes to expect, so I'll just be sharing a couple of small features as a sneak peak.


First, I've implemented a zoom mode for observers to allow spectators and shout casters to see a larger part of the battlefield rather than the current view.

The second is a Capture Point action style game mode. It is designed to be a short fun mode with lots of movement and action, as a break from the usual stuff. There will be many capture points (6+) spread around the map that, when captured, will provide various auras (Damage, Armor, Gold, Regen, Movement Speed, etc) for your team depending on which one is captured. The Capture Points all spawn after the first 10 minutes of the game. You gain control of a CP by standing on it for a certain amount of time (the more allies the faster). Capture Points can always be reclaimed by the enemy team after it is taken or it can also be interrupt during the capturing process itself. Keep in mind that all the mechanics and numbers are not final yet.

These are just two misc things in 6.67 that I wanted to share with you guys. There will of course be more work done on improving the current content with balancing and misc features. If there is something specific you want to see, don't hesitate to let me know.

teleio tha einai to cp !@!! polu xbaale D wraiooooos

[Cassiopeia]

Agreed

i find it a quite good idea, though.
not silly, DotA doesnt need much change to its core, thats for sure.
if icefrog limits himself to balance changes he will surely get bored...

Well, i would prefer more new heroes and items and rmks too than silly mode, this will be fun mode, like -wtf which is not played so often.

Μια χαρα balanced ειναι το game. Αμα χανεις συνεχεια λογικα κατι αλλο φταιει...

Επισης προτινω, μαθε να παιζεις τα παροντα items και μετα βλεπουμε και τα new.

(Τιποτα προσωπικο γιαυτο δεν εκανα και quote σε κανεναν.)

Τεσπα το νεο Mode ακουγεται ενδιαφερον, εξαλλου δεν βρισκεις συχνα Fun Balanced Maps και αυτο ακουγεται σαν fun map αλλα με το balance του DotA.
