No real secret. All the links are usually the same sites, just newer information.

Azwraith, the Phantom Lancer

+ [Dota 2 Update - May 3, 2012] +

GAMEPLAY
- Added Phantom Lancer!
- Fixed being able to use ping to identify illusions.
- Fixed bug where we wouldn't always upgrade couriers in order of creation.
- Fixed potential dispel threshold being calculated after damage reduction rather than before (fixes stuff like Bloodrage not dispeling potions).
- Fixed being able to blink if you became rooted after you started casting.
- Fixed unit conversion spells (Enchant, Persuasion, etc) not removing existing debuffs properly.
- Fixed Searing Arrows not stacking with Eye of Skadi.
- Fixed Satyr firing Shockwave onto smoked/invisible heroes.
- When the courier returns items to the stash, items owned by the other team are now dropped on the ground.
- Fixed Spirit Bear teleporting far away from you with Return (causing it to get stuck in trees sometimes).
- Attacking units now follow their target and then resume attack orders after getting disarmed.
- Updated attack animation for Spectre, with more impact on hit frame.

UI
- Tranquil Boots regen is now displayed on the HP bar.
- Clicking "No Courier" opens the shop with the courier item selected.
- As spectator, clicking courier button now queries the courier for the current query unit's team.
- Fixed creepstats drawing for all units when spectating.
- Fixed missing shared cooldown on the first use of an item.
- Extended the health bar above the stats area.
- Centered respawn label when showing death panel but not the buyback button.
- Fixed a case where the cooldown swipe on buffs was not initialized and rotated backwards continuously.
- Fixed top bar timer not initializing
- Selling back a limited stock item within the sellback time restocks the shop.
- Broadcasters can now draw lines in the world.

BOTS
- Bots now use their defense mode desire to determine when to use Glyph, rather than having an independent calculation for it.
- Bots will no longer use items or abilities when they are individually disabled.
- Bots now switch out of "early game" when either team becomes powerful, rather than just when the opposing team does. This prevents situations where one team is roaming and pushing and the other team is still trying to lane

Although I'm not on my computer at home at the moment, just thought I'd mention that my game bugged out yesterday and gave me access to the backpack system that they will implement later.
It came up as a yellow-ish button between the Socialize and exit game buttons.
Decided to click on it to see what it was and turns out it was indeed the backpack. Most of the interface had broken / missing tooltips and it also gave me a hat, which was missing a proper name and model.
I'll post the screenshots up when I get home!

Has anyone else encountered this yet?

[cruxis]

Yeah I get it as well. I got to some bugged window though, couldn't close it, so had to restart to get rid of it.

[Jaywalk]

what does it do?

[Carnifex]

Did it give you a hat as well? I think I may have deleted mine by accident given the dodgy tool-tips.

[Daboo]

I got that a few days ago, an empty yellow button, clicking on it brought a bunch of few placeholder resource strings. Didnt know what it was.

Yeah, if you clicked through it [some guesswork involved in navigating the backpack] it came up on the top left with 'Backpack'.

@Bash: Hats, new weapons n' stuff. All aesthetics, no 'pay to win' crap. They also have different skins and such for couriers.

i have no idea what these new characters do. i never played dota 1 haha

see i like the custom couriers (the ones ive seen look cool) , and weapons + (some)skins are great, but hats are laaaaaaame!

[Daboo]

I actually want the game to look clean. Thee entire hats thing ruined tf2 for me, I just like it to look the way it was meant to look. As In when you see a donkey you know it's a courier. But if they have something like frog, then some alien creature etc, it just confuses me, and makes the game look like a mishmash of weird stuff.

Remember hearing about a mod that could prevent all the customizations from coming up for tf2, hope someone does something like that for dota.

[inFeZa]

I'd love a phoenix looking courier or something that shit would be cool.
