There is still a slight possibility of DotA 6.79d map as some players reported to have lose control of their hero in middle of the game. If you encounter any bug and find it annoying, report it to IceFrog. The DotA 6.79c AI will take time port due to new in-game mechanics and heroes that were added in v6.78.
P.S. The secret quest has been removed in this map.

ReplyDeleteis the gold stuck bug fixed? it is not addressed in the changelog.
ReplyDeleteFAST update [K]
ReplyDeleteyeah.. how about the gold stuck bug?
ReplyDeletedid you buy back if you did thats the reason why your gold is stuck
ReplyDeleteEarth spirit when in rolling form and was voodooed, he will have 522 speed permanently unless he is turned into ethereal form.
ReplyDeletewhat about slark being drowned?
ReplyDeleteI wanna AI 79 :/
ReplyDeleteslark behind u , visit me i am best slark
ReplyDeletePlease make ai map for 79
ReplyDeleteIt's a total bull shit , I liked cm mode because there was not imbalanced heroes such is : Huskar , Pheonix . WTF is it ?!
ReplyDeleteOmg !!!
ReplyDeleteI hate the changes of Earth Spirit .. :(
ReplyDeleteWhere is the AI map.
ReplyDeleteAre you run out of AI coder.
If you buy backed, that caused your gold to be strucked. That is stated in the changlog of 6.79
ReplyDeleteAll heroes are balanced, if you know how to exactly counter them, right?
ReplyDeleteReally? You think Husk and Phoenix are imbalaced? Husk can easily die from pure and physical damage (timber, omni, impetus(ench), naix etc.)
ReplyDeletePhoenix will die if the opposing team will have Troll or any other attackspeed buffer (even in teamfights team will go for the egg!)

-DotA 6.79b has a bug in -switch mode. When a hero switches to another team, the switched hero can be sighted anywhere by the enemy.
ReplyDeleteDid the new map also include the bug fix of switching players?
For those who got angry because I posted that I hated the changes of Earth Spirit. Well, its really none of your business! I am just expressing my reactions towards his changes. Not for you to criticize my post.
ReplyDeleteI have great amount of lag on my pc. It's true it's an older pc with 1gb ram and a 1,4 ghz processor with 64mb ram, but dota used to work just fine before the 6.79c version. now it's laggy and my internet is even better than before.
ReplyDeletealso, when a player, or me, chooses king leoric, it's even more laggy!!!
this map become HON game when butcher can use Dagger,,,==
ReplyDeletefix skeleton king bug with vampric aura
ReplyDeletefix obsidian destroyer bug, where it's ultimate will not go on cooldown if it hit heroes with blade mail active and obsidian dies
just try play slark vs rubick and see a bug
ReplyDeletewhen slark use ult and rubick steall it from ruick ult then gg slark no easy die
Anyone have crash while chatting on 6.79c???
ReplyDeletedon't change shredder please ..
ReplyDeleteoracle is tough but why change the manacost on heal ? damn
what about lan ????
ReplyDeleteWhy there's no changes on Razor(Lightning Revenont)?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the AI version , so that my younger bro can learn how to play.
ReplyDeleteAnyone reading this please make sure that the thing you complain is not really a bug.
ReplyDeleteThe gold stuck bug is not a bug. It happens when you buyback. Buying back prevents you from earning realiable gold 'til your death timer is finished.
sad no christmas map this tme :(
ReplyDeletewhen the AI map will be release ?
ReplyDeleteawesome!
ReplyDeletefix the unlimited tango bug!!! when tango is carried by the courier with atleast 1 left and then clicking change courier will refill the tango,
