Heroes of Newerth - Playing Dota with Different Engine

We've already know that several games are being developed based on Dota-Allstars. DemiGod and League of Legends are some names that already familiar in this term. While both of them is totally a new game that inspired from Dota, playing Heroes of Newerth is just like playing Dota but with a lot of better graphics. Just see the above picture (click to enlarge) and watch below video, you will know what i mean.

Isn't that Krobelus who in the movie guys? And based on the mini-map, the map layout is also the same. At first, i think IceFrog is gonna rage because of it, but no. Below is his statement on PlayDota regarding this matters

They contacted me a few years ago to ask if I had any objections to them doing a game heavily based on DotA, which I didn't. I don't really mind all these new games (6 total now I think), competition is a good thing in the long run. I will still work hard to develop and improve DotA on WC3 for everyone that is still interested in it.

Well, at least they got IceFrog permission to do that. But i think this game will have a real trouble if IceFrog stop developing the WC3 version of Dota. Unless they can come out with something original, they won't survive in the long run. Balanced the game and kept the gameplay fun while adding new content is not an easy task. And IceFrog is done it well so far on the current Dota map. Despite all of that, the graphics on the Heroes of Newerth is really tempted me @_@ What about you guys?

DotA Theme Manager Version 4 (DTM 4) is out! While IceFrog released Dota 6.60 with a lot of new content, Infrisios also doesn't wanna lose. He just published Dota Theme Manager 4 along with 2 new themes. The first one is the City theme as you can see in picture above. Pretty cool isn't it? The other one is the Highland theme, the screenshot is below. Here is all the download link and guide to install Dota Theme Manager:

Installation Guide

1. Download the newest version of the DotA Theme Manager
2. Unpack* the file IN your warcraft folder - in most cases C:\Program Files\Warcraft III.
You can find the paths the files should have below!
3. DO NOT move or rename any of the files you unpacked. The path must be: "\Warcraft III\DTMV4\"
4. If you want it on your desktop, create a shortcut of the exe file.

The DotA Theme Manager uses the following paths for the files:

-this is the folder you should see when you open your WC3 folder.
In it, you should have:
Warcraft III Folder\DTMV4\DTMV4.exe
-the application itself. Use this executable to start the DotA Theme Manager.
Warcraft III Folder\DTMV4\Data
-the Data-Folder, containing all necessary data the DTM needs to work.
Don't change anything here!

Dota 6.60 New Items Mini Guide, Share Your Thought!

Dota 6.60 New Items mini guide. Dota-Allstars 6.60 give us several new items. In this post we'd like to share about what you've found about those items and how to use it well. Let's check it out ;)

New Basic Item
Ghost Scepter

Ghost Form makes you unable to attack or be attacked, but you take 44% extra damage from spells. For 1500 price, i think Ghost Scepter is very situational. While you can evade enemy attack, the 44% extra damage from spell can be deadly. But still, it has its use.

If you're facing Troll, Rikimaru or another DPS hero, this item comes handy. What? Rikimaru has just smoke you when you have a little HP? Don't panic, just activate Ghost Scepter while waiting your friend helps or just simply teleport to safe place. Well, if Rikimaru has Dagon maybe you still die though, but it's very unlikely ;p

Quelling Blade

This item definitely a must for a jungling melee hero. The 36% bonus damage to creeps for a damn cheap price of 225 is really neat. Too bad it's only gives 12% bonus to range heroes. The chop tree ability also handy and can make you jungling faster.

Talisman of Evasion

Talisman of Evasion is really a great relieve. Before, you must farm Butterfly to get 30% evasion (6000, which is very expensive). But now, with just 1800 you can have 25% evasion. This items is a great choice for your tank as it can reduce damage from physical attack.

New Recipes
Poor Man's Shield

Well, the name said it all. This items is very cheap. It 100% blocks 20 hero damage and 60% chance blocks 20 non-hero damage (half for ranged). To get this item with ease on early game, buy 2 Slipper of Agility from base. And after several creep kills buy the stout shield on the side shop to finish this item.

Force Staff

The most interesting items on Dota 6.60 in my opinions. This item is like Kellen's Dagger, it gives you ability to move 500 range on instant. It's really usefull on chasing and escaping. It also gives 10 int, 10 damage and 10 attack speed which pretty neat for 2200 gold. Although many people say that it will work great with Rupture, the fact is, it's not work. When the ruptured enemies forced to move, it didn't give damages. Please note that Force do not cancel Town Portal or another channeling spells.

Khadgar's Pipe of Insight

A counter of AOE spell attack. This item can cast Barrier, which gives you and nearby allies 400 spell damage protection for 8 seconds. Multiple cast will override the previous cast. Great, now we can upgrade Hood of Defiance into another item ;)

Magic Wand
Magic Stick's upgrade. Gives you additional 5 charges and 3 attributes. Not much to say here.

OK guys, that's my thought about the new items. What about you? What do you think about Dota 6.60 new items? We'd like to hear it :)
