Ice frog has released 6.83c beta version:

Dota 2 updates, layout seems good, not sure yet about glitches (eblade bug is fixed).
Someone who plays on Mac OS will have to test whether the map is compatible.

We could host this now or wait till the beta version is fully tested.

Edit: Found few minor bugs, lets update once full version is out. + note THIS VERSION HAS TO BE PLAYED ON NON-EM.

Edit2: Updated map to 2nd beta version.

OMG, I cant bellieve this, alomst fucking 2 years without update. And finally, gotta luv it

Yea i beta tested it with nabo, the layout is nice, the animations of some of the new spells/ and old are alot better and smoother and over it seems very good except for the fact that there are a few factors of the game that should make this version NON-EM ONLY. I agree with nabo, it has to be played in NON-EM or it would be pretty insane in pub.

This is pretty awesome. I think replacing one of the nonactive dota bots with this + ap mode for testing would be nice.

Hi,
First of all, i wanna say its really great that we finally get an upgrade for dota1. Congrats on everyone for their hard work and bringing us such an amazing map!!! Although, i have an important point i would like to make. I really feel the new map should be playable only on non em modes. Reason of this, is because, first of all, most heroes arent designed to be played on em mode!!! Em mode breaks the game's balance and makes it unfair for most heroes.
Eg. Trent's ult with scepter would be ridiculous. On a decent player he could easily make more than 1k gold per minute!
Eg2. Early game heroes like clock become very weak when the other team can get lots of hp early game without any real effort.

And theres a lot more examples i could give (take phoenix's ult with scepter, for instance) but i think i made my point.

Im pretty sure im not the only one who feels this suggestion is very important to keep the game balances, so i would like for you guys to consider this ] factors. Thank you very much for everything!

Totally.

The new features + scepter skill changes make the game a whole lot diff. Playing em games where players will be able to farm certain items a lot faster will ruin the game balance. If we want to keep up with dota2 updates, we will need to host only non-em games.

Hi everyone,

I would have to agree, i can only see this map working with non-em game mode as it would provide a more balanced game. I cant wait for this map to come out and finally get to play some good dota

[SingSing]

NON EM ALL THE WAY!!!!!! FUCK EM

I agree with these changes. New map will help move the game forward. Furthermore I agree with remove em. If we simply set a new standard the players will match the game. Having em mode was fine when ap games were still filling. Ap is a better more rounded version of the game.

I didn't agree enough first time so I agree again

[uakf.b]

I assume we're not updating yet?

Support 100% for non-em. Would be nice to play this right away if the bugs are really minor and not gamebreaking.

[jfaller1]

This would be awesome! The new map changes would make playing dota so much more fun. I support this idea 100 percent. It would bring a little of dota 2 to the dota 1 graphics . But i do believe that if this mode makes it here, it should be only played in NON em mode. Playing this mode with em mode on would make heroes and new aghs on certain heroes wayyyyy to op and would ruin everything.

When ENT changes the new map to 6.83 I think it should be hosted as -ar or -ap mode.
EM mode really doesn't make it easier it all, if anything it limits gameplay for a lot of heros. I would love to see only non em games hosted, I believe it would bring a lot of older players back as well as bring new players in. I'm interested to see how it's going to workout. I will keep supporting ENT until i get 4 kids and no longer have time for video games anymore. I love you.

I can get on board with all games being non-em. In fact, until all the other leagues disappeared from bnet, i only played literally 1 game in -em mode, and 1 game in -sm mode (-sm used to mean short mode, before it was changed to easy mode), and probably over 5000 non-em games. I wish things could go back to classic dota without the -em, retard, easy-money builds, ruining the hard work that so many players like myself put into learning dota as it was intended to be played. Games with -em were meant to be a novelty, like deathmatch (-dm games), not to be the primary source of play. Lets get back to basics please.
