The Fallen Crown update, which was released in Dota2 on April 19 – This is an event of a new format, larger than the events that took place in the game before. The developers promise that it will be the first act in a long story that will be revealed gradually.
The background of the update events can be found in the comic that was published on the official website of the game, and in Dota2 itself the event will be organized as follows:
All players have access to a detailed interactive map of the event.
By playing in various modes, you can receive tokens, the type of which depends on the chosen one hero.
Using tokens, you can open new paths on the map to move forward in the story, as well as find places to receive rewards.
What rewards appeared in the update?
The update added many ways to make the game more beautiful and varied – from unique accessories for heroes to emoticons for chat. Regardless of which heroes the player prefers, among the new items in “Fallen Crown” are: he would definitely like something. Some items can be obtained during the game, but to unlock the entire set of quests with their rewards, you will need to pay 1,400 rubles. The reward system is structured like this:
In the first act of the event, players have access to two treasuries, from which they can get more than 20 new sets in total.
Candies that can be obtained by moving on the event map can also be exchanged for sets, wards and other objects.
For exploring the map, you can earn event coins, which are then exchanged for a discount in the store. (The exact amount of the discount depends on the region).
Two heroes who became key characters of the event (Skywrath Mage and Vengeful Spirit) received new arcana.
Conveniently, to purchase them you can take advantage of the discount for coins mentioned above. Arcana have alternate styles that can be accessed after completing the fourth act.
However, only the first act of the event is currently available. There will be four of them in total, and the next one is announced for mid-May, the dates of the rest have not yet been announced.
Some players were dissatisfied with the fact that in this update the developers focused on cosmetic changes without making any balance changes. In addition, contrary to expectations, a new hero did not come out. It was announced for 2024 without a specific date, but many were waiting for it right now. We can only hope that in the next releases players will receive not only cosmetic, but also gameplay updates.
