Celebrate Lunar Festival 2017!
We’re ringing in the new year with a new Lunar Festival event, which includes new and returning skins and bundles, as well as new Special Event quests and rewards! Be sure to complete your quests and pick up a few skins before our 2017 Lunar Festival event concludes on Tuesday, February 14.
- Lunar Festival Quests and Rewards:
- Quest: Complete the Rooster Race once.
- Quest: Complete the Rooster Race 25 times during the 2017 Lunar Festival event.
- Rewards: Lunar Rooster Portrait and the Lunar Rooster Mount.
- Lunar Festival Quest Details
- Each day during Lunar Festival, players will receive a new event quest to complete the Rooster Race.
- If any players on a team have not yet finished that day’s quest, there’s a chance that the Lunar Rooster, and many festive items, will appear in the team’s starting area.
- Collect the required items and return them to the Rooster to advance his position. Return 4 items before time runs out to complete the Rooster Race!
Sandbox Custom Games Now Available
- A new version of Cursed Hollow has been added to Custom Games that will allow up to 10 players at once to use a wide variety of “cheats” to test the absolute limits of their Heroes in multiplayer, sandbox-style gameplay.
- A cheat menu will appear along the left side of the screen in-game.
- By default, only Player 1 will have access to the cheat menu.
- However, Player 1 can check the “Share Cheats” box at the top of the menu to give access to all other players.
- Players may close the cheat menu by clicking the “X” in the top-right corner of the panel. The menu can be restored by clicking the “Show Controls” button.
- All players will receive an in-game chat notification whenever a cheat is used.
- The cheat menu features a wide variety of different options:
- Set Game Speed: Change game speed among Slower, Slow, Normal, Fast, and Faster.
- Toggle Minions: Enable or disable Minion spawns for each team.
- Reset Structures: Restore all Structures to full Health. If a Structure was destroyed, it is rebuilt.
- Toggle Tribute Spawning: Enable or disable Raven Lord Tribute spawns. This button is only enabled before the first Tribute event begins.
- Move Here: Instantly moves the player's Hero to the camera location.
- Reset Talents: Reset all players’ Talent selections.
- If “Share Cheats” is enabled, this button will only reset Talents for the player that pressed it.
- Reset Cooldowns: Reset all players’ Ability cooldowns. Can be used once every 5 seconds.
- If “Share Cheats” is enabled, this button will only reset cooldowns for the player that pressed it.
- Set Team Level: Adjust each team's level from 1 up to 30. This will also affect the strength of Minions and neutral Mercenary Camps.
- Toggle Infinite Mana: Enable or disable Ability costs for each team.
- Set Damage Dealt: Adjust each team’s damage output from 0 up to 300% of normal damage.
- Set Damage Taken: Adjust the amount of damage received by each team from 0 up to 300% of normal damage.
Performance Improvements
- Improved the performance of a rendering system that is used across most Hero Abilities and environment effects. This should improve framerates during team fights on many systems.
