Spectre's Arcana still unavailable

[tallgeese]

I love being punished for taking breaks from DotA only to miss out on arcana for my favorite heroes.

Especially when their base model looks like something out of the 2010 era, looking on par with models in games from the PS2 and OG Xbox.

Those arcanas will never come back, those where limited timed releases. Kinda beats the point to release them again. I have also taken breaks from the game missing out on cool arcanas. I'm not gonna womp womp on the forum because I wasn't there.

Punished? are you for real?

There is no point that makes sense. I do not recognize FOMO as a valid reason. Do not attempt to engage me using FOMO as a base for your argument.

idk seems like alot of things we thought were one time release are coming back. so you might have luck if you stay.

[:D]

if they released it for 200 euro would you buy it ? be honest.

What? Youre telling me the reason its not valid is because you dont deem it so? Are you this entitled?

I don't like it when Valve has limited-time account-bound-only items, but missing one is not a "punishment". There's no need to be overly dramatic, and there are plenty of other specter sets you can buy.

If you're talking about the WK Arcana from that one chest that was a super-ultra-mega-rare/Tier 4 drop... I wouldn't hold your breath.

Most of the Arcanas where promised to be "limited exclusivity, never to be released again". The WK one might not have included that exact language, instead saying something like "available from the BP", leaving it open to other releases. Ditto for most of the personas, AFAIK, although even there its other VERSIONS of the persona have been released.
For any item that was described as only ever being available from the BP for a limited time, Valve kinda has to stick to their word on that.

You can buy pathfinder Act 3 pack for a very good set for her with modern textures and then you can guy her special voiceover for like $0.2 or something. 2nd best thing.

valve just looking at profit...they have been giving out all kind of perks including arcanas to attract new players and retain the old players.....they might release io, es or other bp arcanas in future, maybe in a higher price/ same mode like wk, bind to pay wall treasure...nobody knows for sure...unless u are gabe

If you ask Saudi Arabia nicely, they might allow Valve to make past arcana skins available again.

Yes, that's exactly what FOMO is. OP is right.
"Buy it now or it's gone forever. Weren't here? Too bad, you better be there next time."

Valve is generally a good company, but this stuff stinks really bad.

But does it stink any more than them allowing Saudi Arabia to sportswash and infect the esports/Dota 2 competitive scene?

Spoiler: Valve is not a good company, when they let Saudi Arabia infect Dota 2 in the way that they have. In fact they have a dramatic lack of ethics.

The issue is that breaking their past promise of exclusivity would severely undermine any future claims, as well as engender a lot of bad will in the community.

They might sell a few more to people who missed out on them the first time, but only at the expense of pissing off many many people who already have them. It's the kind of thing that Valve is only likely to do if they think the game is nearly dead and will be shutting down the servers soon, and want to squeeze a last few pennies out of it.
Yes Valve is focused on profit, but they need to weigh both the short vs. the long term benefits of any action.
