- The current item drop system doesn't function well as a reward mechanism. It drops many items on players who aren't interested in them (the items are extremely common, or they're for a hero the player doesn't play), and in the process dilutes the value of the items. We'd like to get to a place where dramatically fewer uninteresting items enter the economy. We don't have a complete solution yet, so we're going to move forward step by step, taking feedback from you as we go.

- Fixed a Meepo item exploit.
- Fixed various methods by which the IP of the game server you are playing on could be revealed to a third party.
- In the latest Steam Beta client, your IP is no longer revealed via unaccepted Voice Call requests.
- The Game Info feature on the Steam Friends List no longer shows the IP of the gameserver you are on.
- League games will now automatically pause when any player disconnects. It will remain paused for up to 24 hours if all players are disconnected.
- Local lobby league games can now be viewed through DotaTV. However, this is recommended only as a backup solution for league administrators, as locally generated replays are not fully integrated with the league system. This will be on the Test Client first and then merged to the Main Client next week.
- Customers who purchased an ESL One NY or WCA ticket will receive a free Treasure Redemption Token for each ticket.
- We've worked with the ESL team to collect the replays for yesterday's games that weren't broadcast through DotaTV. Replays are available here: http://cdn.dota2.com/apps/dota2/posts/ESL_One_NY_Local_Replays.zip
- The Singapore maintenance window will be moved from next week to later this month
New in Dota 2 10/08/2014 (Oct 9, 2014)
- Made improvements to server network performance
- Added two new matchmaking regions in South America (Chile and Peru)
- Removed Captains Draft mode from ranked matchmaking. There were too few players in this mode which caused excessive wait times, imbalanced matches, and potential for MMR abuse.
- The Singapore matchmaking region will be undergoing some changes next week. There will be a maintenance period from the 13th until the 16th Singapore time. On the 14th the region will be entirely unavailable, and during the other times it will be operating under limited capacity (fewer servers available for usage). We will be rebuilding the clusters on new server hardware and retiring the old server hardware. On the network side, we will be improving the router architecture, as it is currently too susceptible to packet loss under high load.

Kinetic gems can change animations, change abilities, add or modify particle FX, change ability icons, and modify other features of the item they are attached to.

- Treasure Keys
- Treasure Keys are no longer sold on the Dota 2 store.

Immortal treasures and some older special event treasures are excluded from this menu, but otherwise the list of treasures is unrestricted. One key can be exchanged for any one treasure. As new treasures are added to the game, they will also be added to this menu.
- All treasure keys will expire and be removed from the game one year from now on July 1st, 2015. Keys must be redeemed by that time.
