obloquy

I don't understand the change to day/night cycle. I see in the update log it's mentioned as being fixed (the cycle not being updated? No clue what that even means), but I don't understand what the problem was before.

After watching replay carefully, it seems like each day and each night is (approximately) 2 minutes long. Each tick looks (approximately) 20ish seconds long. 

It didn't seem right and everyone mentioned it ingame, but after checking online it looks like the "traditional" cycle should be much longer--I see 7.5/15 mins mentioned for an older DotA version (circa 2010). I'm not sure if that's how LoD always was but it seems about right to me. At any rate, 2 minute day, 2 minute night, complete cycle of under 5 minutes seems way too fast.

I also just watched some kind of invincibility bug. I'm not sure what skills the guy had, but i have the replay if you want to check it out (let me know via PM if so, or if you're already aware--I'm hesitant to post it here and proliferate). I ended up getting D/C (which looked like ragequit) so I only saw this in replay chat log when I went to check what happened with the game afterwards; I just watched the replay to see it in action after I was gone and yeah it looks silly--completely immune to damage for whatever duration (no clue how he's triggering it or what triggers it but it was not 100% of the time).

edit: Ok, after watching even more of it, I see the guy didn't even know how he was doing it; at one point he goes "lol why cant they hurt me". Also after watching more and paying closer attention, it appears as if it's only hero attacks which seemed unable to hurt him; towers and creeps were damaging normally. I can't tell for sure if possibly the regen was just insanely high vs. hero attacks, to where the regen made it look as if attacks weren't hurting him, or they just weren't period. Shrug.

Thanks a lot for your consideration, and for all your hard work. Cheers!

Hrm, well I can't seem to edit the subject line to fix the typo (should be v3g obviously). But at first I couldn't even find the edit button at all so I made another post. Then I found it and changed the other post. Sorry... ><

Well, first off I must say that you are suffering from a glaring lack of Introduction subforum!

All joking aside:

I just came to this site after link was forwarded to me by a guy from ENT (where I similarly just registered and have been lurking in their chat for the last couple hours). I haven't played in about a year or more and obviously I don't know any of you, and only just learned of who is now doing LoD (when I was last around it was Blaze still).

Anyway, wanted to say hi, awesome work on the site, and awesome work on keeping LoD alive! I have only in the last ~6 hours tried to get back into DotA (with express desire of playing LoD of course) and so far I've been quite pleasantly surprised at how active the community seems to be.

So far all I've done is a lot of reading as I have yet to get an install working, but from what I see in changelogs it looks really great--"lol finally fixed trueshot aura on creeps, nice" and such.

Kudos, props, and greetings to all.
