Wraith King Arcana is STILL BUGGED: NEW HEROES DO NOT COUNT

[Phantasmo]

i am positive and certain that heroes that are not in the map do not count towards the bone count. It happened twice already that after defeating the heroe and getting the prompt and later on the map screen, the amount of collected bones DID NOT INCREASE.

I know that some new heroes are not in the map but supposedly the bone count increases after killing them and winning the game. However, this IS NOT HAPPENING. I keep track of the number of bones and IT DID NOT CHANGE.

FIX THIS ALREADY. YEARS LIKE THIS FOR ♥♥♥♥ SAKE.

In case a mod or a dev gives a ♥♥♥♥: this happened after killing Dawnbreaker and Muerta.

After killing some new heroes (can't remember which) and feeling like I didn't get any progress, I decided to keep an eye on the bone count before very match and I am sure, positive and certain beyond any doubt that killing Dawnbrreaker and Muerta did not grant my any bones.

The best thing you can do is go to "Help", "Steam Support" and write a ticket.

It's a known problem by now I believe - a lot of people posted this recently - just chill, it will work out soon.

Besides, Red Effect is awful. I can't stand using it. But it's no reason to justify the bug... So, please stay calm, devs don't speak on this forum anyway - the right way to report a bug is talking to steam support. Make sure you select "Having Problems with an Item" and they will give you an answer about it.

Thank you! Can I ask you what Red Effect is?
I'll try with a ticket. Thanks so much.

No worries. By red effect I meant the second style. In game it looks really bad in my taste, the original effect of the Arcana, the Skeleton King, is awesome. The "fiery" one, feels like too much animation effects, you know?

And the unlocking minigame is awesome, clicking all the heroes back at the time of release. I wish they would allow us to reset it to do again, and even draw the new heroes. But that is just too much to ask - they took like 4 years to add a secondary style to the Immortal Bracers from Earthshaker to finally meet the color change from Arcana Style 1 and 2.

Truth be told, there is an exclusive "Black Armor" for the Chinese Skeleton Arcana release - China has some strict rules about showing bones, meat, so they force game companies to release games only if they change what is displayed: This isn't about question Cultural/Political beliefs, just explaining how development works. Long Story Short, the chinese version of WK in china has a black armor set to cover the bones, and looks AWESOME.

Google something like "Wraith King "No Gore" Version" or something like that on google images. You will understand why I want that style unlocked for the rest of the world. It is AWESOME.

Is it actually bugged? I have the original Arcana, not the Frostivus version, but when I was grinding it out new-hero kills counted for the gem even though there was nothing to click on the map.

This I can confirm too.

But I do believe, by the ammount of threads in the last weeks, that it isn't counting progression and there's been a lot of cases. Could be a bug.

It does count. Look at the gem in the arcana. The number on the gem and the number on the page with the heroes is different but the gem is the one that matters.

Just to prevent more necroposting like above (I opened this thread six months ago) I'll add:
1) At the time I opeend the thread it DID NOT work.
2) Opening a ticket fixed the problem.
3) It's been months since I unlocked the arcana (again, thanks to the ticket) and it STILL counts under 100 heroes. So you can go guess how ckufed up it is.

Somebody please close this thread, thank you.

And extra thanks to all who helped with this

You're kinda supposed to report bugs on their github repository: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Dota-2/issues

Doubtful issuing tickets will get you anywhere in the short term, the bug reports on the repository takes years to fix.
