  • MisticBlackx Gregory Melvin Dickinson II (@MisticBlackx) reported

    @DOTA2 you've created a whole fear of missing out deal with putting out a battle pass with broken quests and limited time able to complete said broken quests: I've been trying to progress and gain points for it but it doesn't even track whats the point---

  • Jaggijatt90 Jaggi_jatt (@Jaggijatt90) reported

    @maxrenke @redditdota2 @DOTA2 Out sourcing won't magically fix the bugs, but it will help you get a team who is willing to maintain a product. Engineers who want to work on cutting edge technology will not be willing to do that but would rather work on stuff like steam deck.

  • Twic3Shy Tw1ceShy (@Twic3Shy) reported

    @DOTA2 Hey valve, can you fix the bug where one person can AFK and hold people hostage for ******* hours on end? Like not giving us low priority? Like people who give you +$150 to have fun and get nice things. And we just get ******? That'd be nice

  • Ray_mooo raymond sitepu (@Ray_mooo) reported

    @UltFabg @DOTA2 yepp me too its not working

  • maxrenke Max Renke (@maxrenke) reported

    @Jaggijatt90 @redditdota2 @DOTA2 1) Valve hasn't used the "work on whatever you want" model for years 2) outsourcing bug fixing doesn't magically fix bugs; it might even lower quality I don't understand why people think Dota 2 is this horribly buggy game - it's pretty stable and things are hotfixed quickly

  • Beyond25363978 Beyond (@Beyond25363978) reported

    @BloodSky01 @DOTA2 same issue. did you manage to know how to do it?

  • Key_Dream_ Key_ (@Key_Dream_) reported

    @DOTA2 @valvesoftware Your controller have some setting issues, joystick right (camera control) down input is set to "ennemi target changes instead of R1. Like L1 is for allies. Also, I have my spells one rotation off. (You're Y is my B, your B is my A ...)

  • justin_barr321 Justin (@justin_barr321) reported

    @DOTA2 how many times do I have to waste 45+ minutes of my time playing your buggy, copy and pasted game mode every time you re-release it? And I have to leave it cause it’s bugged and I’m the one to be penalized?!?!?! FIX YOUR GAME

  • ParodeezN ParodeezNuts (@ParodeezN) reported

    @DOTA2 What are you doing about people going AFK, forcing you to leave? No report system just like last time. No vote to abandon just like last time. Fix these issues now, please. I already bought my compendium...

  • charioteer25 Mohana Murali Krishna (@charioteer25) reported

  • jatsun2cool Jatin Nagpal (@jatsun2cool) reported

  • bageru Baguuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus (@bageru) reported

    @DOTA2 goddamnit fix your agh's lab. Theres a lot of AFK-ers maaan.

  • HowlPendaddy Howl Pendragon. (@HowlPendaddy) reported

    @DOTA2 This ******* update sucks. I didn't put over 15k hours into this game to ******* have features in here that dumb down the game for NEW players. Leave it in the new player bullshit and give me the option to turn this **** off. Also, fix the mute options.

  • maxrenke Max Renke (@maxrenke) reported

    @Jaggijatt90 @redditdota2 @DOTA2 think of it this way: the incentive to "fully bake" the features in your mind is independent from whether or not there is an internal or outsourced team to fix bugs/maintain the code base. they aren't related.

  • enzoromanic Enzo Romani (@enzoromanic) reported

    @DOTA2 I can´t use mi taunt when i want😡fix it !!!
