Dota 2
Battle pass arcanas rerun
Long story short i missed to get DR's arcana due to my busy hours and were not able play Dota regularly (bought the pass but weren't able to reach the level required to get the arcana).

Now i'm just wondering if there is another chance to get it in the future. Does our Lord Gaben have a plan to do pass-exclusive arcana rerun? I don't mind if i gotta buy another pass and gotta hardcore grind to get it. I just need the chance.

Valve didn't say it would be out of print, but it didn't say it would be released again. Relaunching may make former buyers angry

exclusives started 2016 afaik, so year after year for 6 years there has been exclusive items and there is always a player that missed one of those years, if they will rerelease a single year then there is definitely a player that has it but wants something else, and that will make him angry, and it's a really bad move to simply rerelease all 6 years worth of exclusives.

best move is to make an exclusive item marketable after let's say a period of 3-5 years so people who don't want it anymore can sell it to those who want it, but that's just my opinion.

A year back I said I wanted the Am persona to come back, I got several replies saying its not going to. Now we have a marketable am persona set. Who knows, it might actually be back. I'd trade my void arcana for wr arcana in a heartbeat since I missed the 2020 bp due to no PC.

Believe it or not there are always new players playing dota 2 as well so it is kinda wrong to make skins exclusive in case new players want them. I know the IO persona was set as 'exclusive' on the item description. The others were not so let's hope for the best.

drowranger were available 24 hours a day for 120 days.
so when you say you had busy hours. what do you mean ?
if you worked this much. you could easily afford it. and it would take you about 5 minutes to purchase it and activate lvls for battlepass.

Did THE AM persona come back or did they make a new one ?

Some people are just too busy to do something else fella, when DR arcana was released i was in a middle of plant turn-arounds (I'm working at an ammonia related factory), i had 12+ hour job a day almost every single day for exactly 3 months and a week. I need well-rested body and sleep, so i was only able to do few turbos everyday.

And spending cash for pass levels? No, i dont spend large sum of money for games.

I am not expecting a rerun will be done in a short time after its release, especially less than 5 years. And I actually think that turning the exclusives into marketable is a bad move, it will make the exclusives not exclusive anymore. But, selling a pass exclusive arcana choice ticket via battle pass in the future might not be a bad idea IMO. It will be still Pass exclusive, but just different time.

Hey fella. Ive had 12-14 hours shift at fish-factory 6/7 days a week aswell. but I manged to buy battlepass and level it up before they were gone forever.
and spending cash on battlepass levels is not something your willing to do.
SO even if you had time and were able to play. you would not get it.
you did not miss out on anything.

Idk, might not be able to recover for some time if i buy it, but i might be willing to do so.

Buy the pass > play the game > raise Pass levels > get the arcana. Simple as that

And fyi, the only arcana that i have is nevermore, and it was the free one.

Perhaps i just didnt try hard enough to get it, i know. I forgot to stress out the "not able play Dota regularly" part so i didnt play dota everyday either. So yeah, i didn't try hard enough.

So what about people who made real effort and spending on the game when it was needed - what about them? Just throw them away to please people who never bieng there for valve?

Well, i'll feel sorry then. I'll be happy if valve do pass exclusive rerun, but if they do i hope they thought about those who already buy it as well. Like maybe make me choose between already released arcana or newly released arcana.

And also i need to make things clear here, that i'm asking about will Valve do pass exclusive arcana rerun or not, not demanding it to be rerun-ed.

And then you start crying that you want both old and new exclusive arcana?

I mean no offence or harassment but you seem to miss how much effort and money getting those arcana worth.

At best what valve can do is selling VERY EXPENSIVE tokens that allow you to buy one from account that already got it. Like 250$.

Are you ready to pay that amount of money? Or at least 150$?

I think its clear he only ask if Valve gonna do a rerun. Not demanding the arcana to be sold again.
Grimmz Sep 12, 2023 @ 11:26pm 
i think most people want them to be 30 bucks, they're not actually serious about the original price tag of 250. sometimes you can just tell when you look at someones inventory and when there isn't even 5 bucks of value in there.
