6.59b! Released! Hidden Quest Discussion!

6.59b is now releases and get it here

Changelog:

* Fixed various memory glitches from recent optimizations that sometimes resulted in abilities/items malfunctioning

The shortest changelog I've ever seen of my life!

Okay for the 6.59b Hidden Quest

The Hidden Quest is all about..... Killing Tauren Chieftain!

But first you must find 4 hidden items which there AoE is so small that you can't barely catch them before killing(?) him!

Activate -wtf

Use Storm Spirit

Buy Blink Dagger and BoT

And

Here are where you can find the four tomes:

First the Tome of Fire



The Totem of Water, as usual you can find it in the waters




The Totem of Wind



The Totem of Earth



You must find this and activate it before facing the Great Tauren Chieftain

I have a tip in activating those totems. Try to activate far away to where -rd is. That's the big circle space at the top left corner of the map.

The totems give him large amount of regeneration so try to activate it far away.

Then here is TC:



Look at his life! I can't see it!

And here's the skill that is welcoming you!




And the Reward!



Gives you +200 str and 2000 knockback!

The skills are the same as Roshan's skills.

First is Spell Block, then Bash and Slam!

There are icefrogs too which can kill the totems


You can find them by having gem.

If you have find them, you can kill him much easier!

I do not have images yet so I will later post them.

This is the greatest quest yet, next to Kael quest, It is really hard to find and hard to click!

Base Abilities

What are Base Abilities?

Many players of DotA rarely knows this. This are the abilities which the DotA heros skills are based upon. This abilities are the original ones that came from Warcraft Frozen Throne Campaign. If you played campaign in Warcraft TFT you can see that it is the base ability of such things in DotA. Some, if you go to Dota-Allstars WIKI, you can't believe that that is its own base ability. I will give you examples.

Razor's Chain Lightning is adopted from Wc3TFT Chain Lightning
Mana Void is based upon Storm Bolt
Chain Frost is based upon a sequential Frost Nova
Quill Spray is based upon Fab of Knive
Presence of the Dark Lord is based upon(You can't believe it) in Devotion Aura
and many more...

So far the heroes that do not have spells that has a base ability are:

Coco the Admiral Proudmoore
Clockwerk Rattletrap
Puck
Ezalor
Windrunner
Dazzle
Spectre
and Witch Doctor

I think that many should know this for the main purpose of knowing where'd it came from. Not by just not going to the back of it.

Spectre and Enigma Changes and I saw a Bug

First, let's go to Spectre change.

* Spectral Dagger no longer gives vision

Yes I know this is a pain to many Spectre users that uses dagger as a hunting tool.

So this is a pic of it.




I casted Dagger and did not saw a thing. OMG.

It really makes hard to scout many of the terrains and killing that pesky crow!

2nd: Enigma's Conversion skill

* Reworked Enigma's Conversion
Demonic Conversion:
=====================
Splits any non-hero unit into three Eidolons, killing the targeted unit.
Eidolon's can duplicate themselves once whenever they attack 6 times.

Lesser Eidolon/Eidolon/Greater Eidolon/Dire Eidolon (Same as before)

Cooldown: 35
Manacost: 170

Notes: It cannot target Level 5+ Neutral Creeps

Pic:



I let them attack the neutral creeps and suddenly one multiplied! How about that!

Now this skill is now great for jungling and for pushing too. I remembered my friend picks this in his skill build and it effects really great. Great help for denying the creeps w/o exp for the enemy.

Roshan Bug

Sorry but I can't post a pic yet. It occurred when I am playing in single mode and testing the new map. I was Darkchrow and I went to Rosh just for an easy money!$$. Rosh came to me and then I casted Midnight ulse and Malefice to it. He then goes to my place and went straight pass me and went to the ramp going to the scourge Ancient camp site. He sat there for about 5 seconds then goes back to his throne. I think it's a bug. So if you want t check it out try it.
