Many people have requested being able to carry multiple tools at once, so we've added the Pouch, which allows you to carry two tools at once!


Pouch get!


Swap those tools!


Combining the boomerang with bombs allows for ultra-wide reach!

To explain why Quest Master does not offer tool switching in the inventory:

1. Having to open a menu dramatically hampers gameplay flow
   
2. Bringing up menus in shared-screen multiplayer is incredibly annoying, as it locks out other players from controlling their character
   
3. Being locked into a selection offers unique puzzle scenarios, e.g. having to strategically change tools or having to make a choice, or giving up your held tool to progress

Predominantly the Four Swords series has started the trend of being locked into a single tool, but I hope the new Pouch will be of great use for y'all! There's some crazy item combinations, like fire rod and bombs, that open up the way for many new puzzles, previously only possible in multiplayer or with puppets!



Finally, a new switch type!

The propeller is activated by kinetic wind energy -- when wind touches it, it will start spinning. However, its friction will cause it to slow down gradually, until it comes to a stop again.

This opens up many new possibilities for timed operations without the use of dedicated shapes!


Turbines allow it to spin continuously!


It will continue spinning until the Tornado vanishes!


Gusts of Wind will active them for short bursts!


They can also be deactivated with a condition!



We are preparing hard for the upcoming next major content update releasing on October 4th, so mark you calendars! It will introduce many new game changing features that will elevate your dungeons to new levels, quite literally.

Next week is going to be a smaller update because of the preparations, so we are adding some content to Castle Town!


See your next Friday!

Hello Khans,

We’re back with some exciting new updates and fixes! Check out what’s been added this week:

• Starting a new game will now trigger a warning pop-up, letting you know it will delete your previous progress. This way, you won't accidentally lose your hard-earned game data.

• We’ve removed enemy scouts from the scout section. Instead, you’ll now receive detailed scouting reports every week before a match directly in your inbox.

• We’ve restricted the battlefield camera movement, so no more endless wandering into the dark zones.
  
• Additionally, you can now zoom in further on the battlefield.

• We’ve fixed the issue where some units were not listening to your commands during battles. Now, your units will follow your tactics more accurately.

As always, let us know if you have any feedback or run into any issues. Thanks for playing, and we hope you enjoy the latest improvements!

Best,
the Oba Games Team

Updated the playtest build to the latest one. Better character creation, boat intro.

Fix
- Some buff UI don't show on stat

Congratulations to Team Liquid, Grand Champions at The International 2024. Dropping only three games throughout their championship run, this relentless Liquid squad washed away a field of fearsome contenders to resoundingly earn their place as the finest Dota team in the world.

Team Liquid's journey to the Aegis started smoothly with a pair of 2-0 series wins over Aurora and beastcoast, but a 0-2 showing against defending champions Team Spirit reminded everyone that the path to immortality is filled with formidable foes.

Their next opponent would only prove that point further. With Liquid holding a 1-0 advantage and the Upper Bracket almost within reach, underdogs BB Team ran away with the second match of their seeding set, threatening Liquid with a much more difficult Lower Bracket path. Undaunted, Liquid leveraged early action in game three to build an avalanching lead and ultimately secure their place in the Upper Bracket to begin the next stage.

Once there, the eventual champions never looked back. Their heroes were almost unkillable in a dominating 2-0 win over Xtreme Gaming, with only a single death amongst them in game two. Carrying that momentum forward, they opened their series on the main stage against Cloud9 with another stomp. Game two turned into a closer back-and-forth fight, but Liquid rode an epic late game teamwipe to victory and a place in the Upper Bracket Final against a familiar opponent — and constant obstacle in their path — the dangerous Gaimin Gladiators.

Flipping precedent, Liquid withstood Gaimin's early aggression and took the series 2-0, marching convincingly into the Grand Final. After Gaimin battled their way back for a rematch, Team Liquid took the chance to demonstrate that the results of the first matchup were no fluke. They dispatched their old nemesis in decisive 3-0 fashion to secure the Aegis and a place in Dota 2 history.

As bearers of the ultimate symbol of victory, these names shall forever be inscribed upon the Aegis of Champions:

2024 - Team Liquid

• Michael "miCKe" Vu
  
• Michał "Nisha" Jankowski
  
• Neta "33" Shapira
  
• Samuel "Boxi" Svahn
  
• Aydin "Insania" Sarkohi

Looking Back

We would like to once again thank all of the players, talent, and everyone in the Dota community for helping bring this global celebration to life. If you missed any of the tournament, or just want to relive the incredible plays, head over to the Dota 2 YouTube channel, where you can find replays of the entire tournament. You can also find a trove of photos from the event over on the Dota 2 Instagram and Dota 2 flickr.

Celebrate the Champions

Special Champion edition sticker capsules are now available for purchase for Team Liquid. Each capsule contains one sticker featuring miCKe, Nisha, 33, Boxi, Insania, or Team Liquid. 50% of all sales will go directly to Team Liquid.

The International Compendium

If you've still got some challenges to complete and rewards to claim in The International 2024 Compendium, there's a bit more time before it all wraps up. You can still snag additional levels for your Compendium until Tuesday, October 15th, and other goodies like supporters packs, talent bundles, and champion stickers will be available a few weeks longer.

Upcoming Hero and Crownfall Act IV

Also, in case you missed the trailer during The International, we announced Dota's next hero. Leader of the flightless, sworn enemy of Queen Imperia, and general troublemaker Kez will be joining the roster of Dota heroes when Crownfall Act IV releases.

Fixed stuck at green board at first launch.
Fixed recipe names not translating properly at settlement status menu.
Fixed a save file not getting auto created at first launch.

This will likely be the last shipment of beta content before it makes it way to the main branch!
We have a bunch of new spells, new buildings, changes to the Necroforager, and more!

If you're interested in checking out the beta changes, they are available to all. Simply right-click the game in you steam library, go to Properties, and use the beta code throneofbeta.


Was: Whenever you sacrifice a minion, a minion one level higher to the shop.
Now: Recycling triggers summon abilities. Summoning triggers recycle abilities.

Embrace the cycle of life and undeath with this rework to the necroforager. I wanted to preserve her interaction with recycling minions, but take her in a direction when she feels like she has unique builds accessible only to her. There are a lot of minions and spells that pop off when you get to double dip summoning and recycling. Grow-tastic!

Buildings have been redesigned, and there's now 21 different building rewards in the game. I won't list them all here, but go check em out in game!

I've added 8 new Level 4 spells, 6 new Level 5 spells , and one new level 2 spell.

Deathcycle, Overmind, and Dark Syzygy are now Relics rewards obtained after the Crypt. Their art and name will change in a future build.

Steal the Soul

Rituals have been removed. I wasn't happy with their impact on the game (costing skulls in the last few turns, forgetting to activate, etc).
Surviving the Siege now gives a choice of 3 more buildings, rather than a choice of 3 rituals.
Reaching Collection Level 3 with a necromancer unlocks their signature level 5 spell, instead of their signature ritual.

The 'lost combat' Heart loss experimental change that was on beta has been reverted. Players are now back to losing hearts equal to the remaining enemies.
