Do you have a compendium? in General Discussion
Mokujin

    Yes or no?
    If not, then why?

    context: I've spend ~ $20 overall to buy dota hats off community market, and never had the need to buy anything else (tickets, bundles etc.). I'm too 'jewish' to buy a compendium, I just wanna see people justify the purchase in the first place.

      yes cause its literally $10 and its to support valve, honestly i have never bought any cosmetics and usually my comp stays at 2-7

        No
        I never spend money on games cz I consider it to be senseless cz u can pkay for free, and cosmetics do not change anything.
        I bought previous compendium for some items since I had a lot of them (worth ~250 keys), but I gave them away/lost on bets after quitting trading, so now I got not enough to get compendium (neither want it tbh).

          Yes. I just want the desert terrain map.

            No.
            Same as moku+no moneys. Also, if I even get some monies, i would buy some non-dota related games.

              @Almighty_Krebs, I'm not saying I'm poor, it's just I would feel guilty buying that shit :D

                      it offers best hot chocolate in Russia, too

                        I bought it because it's the dollars

                        I don't have a problem with throwing some money at the devs of a quality game I like...... I have nearly 280 hours in this game and I plan to keep playing......... And it's only ten dollars

                            ^how?

                            i think it's a waste of money. the only worthy thing they're giving out is the dessert terrain. Apart from that, I'd like to have that luna immortal too, but there's a chance I won't get it and get a stupid pugna ward instead. I do not want to spend 10$ for a stupid pugna ward, and other shit. Volvo has become a capitalistic money making w**** just like the rest of them.

                              Selling csgo items on market, for example: i got 2 chroma cases the first day (6$ each one).

                                yeah dont buy it, its a scam

                                  For me it's my about the items (although it is quite a few items for 10 dollars)

                                  It's the fact that the devs obviously put a lot of work into this game without charging for it and they do a good job at that......... All for a "community" that (largely) seems rotten to the core

                                  Imho they earned abit of cash (they gained a lot from this it seems)

                                    items?pfft. i mod all most expensive items into every hero, I jerk off at how I spend 0$ on things rich dumb fucks shell out 1000$ for

                                    with that said I have spent 1000$ on dota 2 already, but that's cus I was buying 10 cent sets when they came out for 10 bucks each

                                      with this shit gaming industry, a sane person can only go so far with pre order and bullshit before going crazy

                                      and bets? fuck bets, 10 bets will blow your IQ away completely

                                        fuck these dumb fucks going crazy about steam sales? if you going crazy for sales at least make it amazon cyber friday instead of buying fucking games you can get on piratebay? lmfao?

                                        one of these days everything will be on piratebay, for starters delete government cash printshops, kill all the 1% rich fucks with billion dollar mansions, and boom, everyone IN THE WORLD will instantly be earning 100 dollar an hour, easy.

                                        End result will be no monopoly, no secrecy means to rip each other off, no capitalizing shit, no fighting amongst each other, start to fucking go beyond the galaxy

                                        fucking pathetic fucks all they do each and every day is wonder what's the next iphone gonna be like, fuck you and your iphone, people 50 years ago made rockets carried men to moon, fucking 50 years later you get billlions of fucktards all they care about is their damn iphone

                                              I bought one this year and honestly regret it. It feels like a fucking cash grab. They don't really tell you anywhere, or perhaps I'm blind on how to level up your compendium but there is sure as shit giant fucking ads to buy levels. I've looked in the compendium and on the compendium page and have not found any info on how to actually level them up. Just what rewards I can get if I level and of course the ads to buy the levels.

                                              I figured out that right now, currently you have 3 ways. Predications (which one is already gone and the rest are currently not avalible) Complete challenges and buy the levels. It's like they made it so fucking painfully slow\difficult and with the giant ads you'll just bite the bullet and buy the levels, and sure they just released the blog post saying they're going to increase the ways.. but come on. They had a year to work on this shit and come up with ways. Previously ones felt like you were supporting the players and community and like they (valve) were saying thank you with a little something cool. Something about this year just feels like a big Fuck you and give us your money

                                                doesn't your spanish teacher teach you chinese history anyway?

                                                Pilot

                                                  No.

                                                  Valve eventually took away all of the extra things that came with the compendium last year (almost nothing unique to the compendium is left aside from the effigy which I never got around to using anyway). It's also highly unlikely that you are going to like or use everything they bring out with the compendium. Immortals last year were dirt cheap, so if you can afford to buy the compendium just for the immortals, you're probably better off buying them at the community market as soon as they crash from the influx of items going in.

                                                  If you can earn your way to get it via playing other games, then I guess that's alright, but try not to buy it on your own.

                                                  @●●●●●●●●●○:

                                                  They did say they were going to release new ways to level it up. Hopefully you didn't get that screwed over with the compendium.

                                                      if by some miracle they decide to make meepo immortal i might try to get it via trading.

                                                        @Pilot worse case it's a 10.00 lesson and I likely won't be supporting it in the future and just do what you suggested and buying anything I like or want from the market when they go dirt cheap.

Dota is best game I have ever played I think 30 dollars per year is not too much for that. I make 24 dollars an hour I can afford an hours pay towards such a good game.
