First Blood Update

Southperry being southperry doesn't let me reply in a thread older than 21 days. So NEW THREAD!
GAMEPLAY
Neutral creeps now properly use cast times and animations
Upgraded Items can always be disassembled within 10 seconds of the combine (same rules as sell back)
Item purchases can be made at the secret shop if the courier is at that location without selecting the courier
Enabled Medusa in Captain's Mode
Outworld Devourer: Fixed Astral Imprisonment not restoring the right amount of mana after the debuff is removed
Timbersaw: Fixed Timberchain not being interrupted by stuns
Pudge: Meat Hook now pulls the target to the initial hook position regardless of where Pudge is
Fixed being able to instantly toggle Armlet on and off
Spirit Breaker: Fixed Greater Bash not applying further knockback on units that were already getting knocked back
Clockwerk: Fixed Power Cogs night vision being too large
Lone Druid: Fixed Level 1/2 Spirit Bear having 1800 day vision instead of 1400
Fixed Shadow Blade revealing only when the attack hit the target rather than when it was launched

REALLY?? REALLY?!?!? NO MORE FOUNTAIN HOOKS?
As for the economy I'm very interested on this:
The item drop list has been greatly pared down and will now change over time. As new items are introduced old items will be removed (and will be accessible on the Steam Community Market). This should help keep the item drop list interesting over time

Boring, i bet this hook change makes it impossible to do it with Io and Kotl as well(Which works in WC3 dota btw)
Only the chen intereaction that's weird, i wish they had just fixed the visual glitch and left the intereaction the way it was.


Edit: Nvm, they apparently fixed it so it DOES work like dota1. Which means it's still possible to fountain hook with wisp/kotl/kunkka.

Nooby question.
As of now my steam is downloading an almost 480 mbs patch for Dota 2 Test.
Does that mean I can "try" these tweaks if I launch Dota 2 Test game?

That's how it should work, yeah.

Coolies.
I didn't notice but Luna portrait was changed aswell.

The portal pack is exciting. Might be my first dota purchase.

This is nice too: Alt-left clicking on an enemy icon in the top bar will send a chat message that the hero is missing

[Malthe]

Take my money already valve.
I missed having GLaDOS insult me.

New model update for Lunaaaaaaaaaaaa! One of my favorite carries. <3

The disassemble feature will be grand for those who accidentally made a Vanguard. :P

My favorite GLADos quotes so far:
Winning:
Wait until your loved ones hear about this. This should make them proud. Or bored. One of those.
Losing:
But don't worry, losing builds character. In fact it's making you a better person right now. A great, big, well-rounded loser with lots of personality.
Respawning:
Get back to battle. I think there's still a spot of ground out there that doesn't have your blood on it.

I'm SO getting this announcer
