Mit dem Auslassen des Diretide Events diesen Halloween hat Valve viele Fans verärgert und empört.
Was folgte war ein wahrhaftiger „Shitstorm“ vieler Fans, der selbst den
Autohersteller Volvo nicht verschonte. Doch Valve reagierte schnell und bringt mit
dem neuen 6.79 Patch, dass von vielen langerwartete Event wieder zurück. Diretide
findet zwischen dem 14-28 November statt. Neben zahlreichen weiten Änderungen, vor allem im Zuschauer Modus,
stellt Valve mit Emberspirit und Earthspirit gleich zwei neue Helden vor, die
mit Stormspirit ein Trio komplettieren.
Ein weiterer großer Teil des Updates ist ein komplett neu überarbeitetes
Shop- und Itemsystem, welches das Kostümieren
und „Craften“ von Items ermöglichen soll, sowie ein Coaching System, welches
man schon aus Counter Strike Global Offensive und Team Fortress 2 kennt.

Coaches cannot be used in Team Matchmaking, or Tournament lobbies. - Increased maximum matchmaking
party size to 6, to allow a coach to teach an entire team of students
(but you can’t Find Match if you have 6 players with no coach) - Coaches are able to use
in-player perspective views and broadcaster tools like line drawing to
teach their students. They are able to ping on the ground, the minimap,
and anywhere in the HUD itself. - Coaches are considered to be on
the same team as their students, so they cannot see anything in the game
that their students can’t see. - Coaches and students have private voice and text communication channels.

Economy
- Steam Community Market
- This update may greatly
disrupt market prices. In order to prevent items being purchased at
pre-update prices for arbitrage, we are removing all item listings and
returning them to their owners. While this removal process is taking
place, new items will not be able to be listed on the Steam Community
Market. - You can now list an item on the market from the armory (right click: sell on the market).
- Armory item tooltips now
contain the current lowest trading price for an item of the same class
as the one highlighted. (Class is a somewhat flexible concept at the
moment, so unusual courier prices will be less accurate than a specific
wearable piece of equipment.)
- This update may greatly
- Crafting
- Crafting recipes now have a
chance of dropping as a bonus item. These drops do not take up your
normal drops, but are in addition to them. - Polymorph Recipes

- Augment Recipes

of inputs of the same rarity and output a random other item of the next
best rarity. Example: 1 of Any Common & 1 Wavecrester => 1
Random Uncommon - A new type of Treasure Chest
called the „Ancient Scroll Case“ has been added. These cases drop
multiple recipes when they are opened. - The Ancient Scroll Case has a
chance to drop an Exceptional Recipe. These make items that were
previously only available as Genuine quality promotional items. The
recipe creates a non-genuine version of the item. - Ancient Scroll Case
- Items can now have up to 5 sockets.

or gifts given as they did before). - Autographs are now Autograph Runes.

- The item they are added to changes to the „Autographed“ quality.
- Items that previously tracked ‚games viewed‘ now contain spectator gems.

- Ethereal & Prismatic gems are used together on unusual items (couriers).

- The item quality keyword „Tournament“ has been changed to „Heroic“.
- The item quality keyword „Haunted“ has been changed to „Cursed“.

If you want, you can smash the courier to recover the legacy color gem
and use it on some other courier or effect combination. - All unusual paint items on the Steam Community Market have been delisted. You can relist the Color Gem Packs.
- All non-legacy colors (colors
that drop normally from Treasure Chests) now have specific names (i.e.:
„Verdant Green“). Legacy colors will have the name „Legacy (R G B)“.
(Most Legacy Colors are completely unique, but there are a few where
more than one of that color exist.) - New colors will appear on
Treasure Chest unusuals from time to time moving forward. While we will
avoid selecting legacy colors we cannot completely guarantee that new
colors will not sometimes be similar. The 800 or so unique legacy colors
in existence cover a large amount of color space. - Gems & Sockets
