Wow glad to have Dota 6.58 Beta Map. This post will be place for sharing picture of the beta map. Just post your favourite picture of Dota 6.58 Beta changes and i will show it here. Anyway, i love the new Chronosphere :)
New Dirge Tombstone
Luna new Lunar Eclipse
Darkterror new Chronosphere
At last, Dota 6.58 Beta legal information is out. This info is come from IceFrog directly so you don't have to worry that it's fake. The next hero to be changed on Dota-Allstars 6.58 is (like the title said), Storm Panda. Icefrog didn't release his changes yet, but he give several picture about his new skills. I guess he want to make us more excited ^_^
Here is the complete picture Storm Panda Remake Preview on Dota-Allstars 6.58 Beta.
Wow, i think he will have a lot of skills remake. Unfortunately, IceFrog don't give any hint about his new skills. But this make me more excited waiting for Dota 6.58 :)
Don't afraid this is 100% not fake as IceFrog himself posted this on IceFrog Blog ^_^

Update:
Dota Freak is showing us the new skill of Storm Spirit,
Skill 1 Static Remnant
creates an invisible immobile copy of storm spirit that deals damage when enemy touches. Reveals the fog of war 800 aoe around the copy.
70 manacost
skill 2 Electric fortex
Binds enemy with electricity, pulling it very slowly to storm but storm moves slow to. last maybe 2 seconds.
110 manacost(if im not mistaken)
skill 3 overload
Not sure about this but every time i cast spell, the overload triggers. It gives the aoe slow and extra damage.
Ultimate Ball Lightning
0 cooldown blink. Cut trees around storm as he land. Very mana consuming. with full mana he could blink through half of the map. 50 damage for every enemies that he passes through when using this.
I don't if it's true or not because i haven't received the map. But by looking in the pictures, it looks real. I hope you send me the Dota 6.58 beta map soon so i can confirm it :)
Well, IceFrog is leaking another changes on Dota 6.58. On his another blog post, he is clearly said that there will be hero remake - Storm Spirit Remake - and item remake on Dota 6.58. But he didn't say which item(s) will be altered. But from my personal point of view, i have some strong candidates.
That will be:
Of course that's only my personal opinion :) What about you? Have any guesses which item will be changed? Share it here :)
Wow, actually IceFrog was planned to release Dota 6.58 on New Year Day. But some bugs prevent him to do so :( But rest assured, he said he will release it in few days. So hold tight guys, because there will be item remake and hero remake awaited on Dota 6.58.
Here is the complete post from IceFrog's blog:DotA has come a long way in the past year. With more and more users playing and providing feedback every day, I'm sure that 2009 will be another good year for DotA. One of the things I will focus on this year will be improving the quality of existing content. I will certainly still be adding new content, but I will also spend more effort to make the current game play experiences more enjoyable for all.
I have been working hard on 6.58 and was hoping to complete it for New Year's Day, but I don't think I will be able to finish it in time. There are still some issues that need further testing. I want to make sure the quality is high, so I think I will need at least a few more days to work on it. This update will have some frequently requested hero and item remakes, balance improvements, some bug fixes and more. I have also spent a lot of time on core code rewrites for further performance improvements so that players with older machines can also fully enjoy the game.
If there is anything specific you want me to make sure I address before 6.58 is released, let me know. Once I get this update released, I will probably be able to do a little more blogging and another round of Q&A.

Dota 6.57b AIPlus - Dota-Allstars 6.57b AIPlus 1.52 Map Revision 2 Free Download, the latest DotA 6.57b AI for Dota 6.57b. This map is updated to the latest version and more importantly it fixes the bugs with Alleria the Windrunner that crashes the games on the previous Dota 6.56 AIplus. Here what BuffMePlz said about his latest map:
DotA Allstars 6.57b AI+ 1.52 Revision 02
This is a port of RGB's AI+ 1.52 (originally written for DotA Allstars 6.48b).
It behaves the same as the original AI, and has only been updated to account for balance changes, new item recipes, and most new features. As such, some new content does not work fully with the AI yet.
Warning: There is no AI for Lifestealer, Invoker, Clockwerk Goblin, Admiral Proudmoore nor Windrunner. They will get items but will neither use nor learn their skills.
KNOWN BUGS
* AI don't properly react to -nb, -nm and -nt modes.
* Some exploits that should have been fixed are still in the game, just don't use them. If you really want to cheat against AI, just use -test.
Commands that have yet to be implemented properly:
* -ah
* -afk
* -kickafk
* -rd (the new one in 6.53, -rd is in the game but done the same way pre-6.53)
* -cm
__________________________________________________
FUN TAVERN
Additionally, I have added two Fun Taverns in the lower right corner.
Currently includes fifteen legacy heroes (possibly more in the future):
* Old Invoker (6.12b)
* Old Lifestealer (6.48b)
* Old Silencer (6.12b)
* Gambler (6.06)
* Old Morphling (5.84b)
* Old Stealth Assassin (5.84b)
* Old Pudge (5.51)
* Old Chen (5.64)
* Old Medusa (5.84b)
* Void Demon (3.0d)
* Rider (5.72)
* God of Wind (6.01)
* Flame Lord (5.51)
* Avatar of Vengeance (6.32b)
* Astral Trekker (3.0d)
To access the fun taverns, type -fun within the first 15 seconds of the game. Note that Fun Tavern heroes do not have AI scripts and will not buy items or use/learn skills.
6.57b Port of AI+ and -fun content by BuffMePlz.
