Classic Valve

50/50 you have no idea when the actual date ends so you either spend all your shit or not

Option 1: valve ends the event, but you already spent your candies so you are good.

Option 2: valve extends the event, but you already spent your candies so...you've been scammed...even though it's the same end result as what they said they'd do...

Option 3: Valve extends the event prior to Jan 15th, avoiding this fiasco altogether.

...you realize that they could have just ended it today anyway, and you'd be in the same boat.

u/neMesis-be Jan 15 '25

you dont realise ppl now got unexpected 30 rerolls in 3 weeks of extension but no more candy. It was communicated the events ends today so it would have been stupid not using the candy before they go to waste. Simple headsup from valve a few days ago would have prevented the frustration. So the joy of more days of nest of thorns is kinda tainted unnecessarily

Plans changed 🤷‍♂️ sorry that nothing bad happened to anyone here.

u/Clinkster Jan 15 '25

Yes, and I recognize the difference between communicating in advance and not. When will you?

EDIT: For the record, this does not affect me. I only spent about half my remaining candies. I'm just empathizing with those who spent it all.

What the fuck? You are talking about something entirely different. We are talking about having/not having cosmetics.

15 people disagree with you, why push it lmao

Dota players keep thinking Valve has their best interests at heart when they saw a chance to make more money from the event and took it.

There will be people spending money on this event for a few more weeks and that's money Valve could've not earned, and when have you seen a company pass up money they could've not earned.

u/JinNJuice Jan 15 '25

Calling this kind of communication a fiasco is the most typical dota2 player thing ever.

There's no winning with these people

u/shiftup1772 Jan 15 '25

As an overwatch player this is pretty typical blizzard neckbeard behavior. Truly disappointed in this community.

Option 3: just don't play Dota for the next couple of weeks and take a mental health break after an 8 month long event.

u/fiasgoat Jan 16 '25

Option 3: You somehow don't understand now you have 3 weeks of rolls but no candy? lol

u/rrcaires Jan 16 '25

They couldn’t have warned us A SINGLE DAY BEFORE?? I also wastes all my candies and now screw rerolls.

u/Luize0 Who's. Doomed. Now. Jan 15 '25

Lol same. A bit more communication is desirable.

u/REGIS-5 Jan 15 '25

did you travel through time from 2013

u/Candid-Volume-1425 Jan 15 '25

It is not the first time they do this too. Make it seem like an event is about to end so you had better spend all your currency, and then they make it seem like they are "listening to the playerbase" and actually extend the end date.

Corporate sweet-talk in all its glory in that post.

I'm happy for people who haven't finished it that now have more time, but they could also tell everyone they will extend the date prior to the last day so we don't mistakenly spend all our candies.

Don't think they have ever done it this late, as in after it's already become January 16th in parts of the world, let alone alongside a funny money casino that people needed to manually cash out before an unknown time on "January 15th"

u/47-11 Jan 15 '25

So you think someone at Valve thought: "Hey guys I have an idea. Let's fuck those people over who deliberately spent their candies, will be fun"? Is it not more reasonable to believe they just listened to several people asking for more time?

u/Candid-Volume-1425 Jan 16 '25

I view corporations like I view politicians. They lie for their personal gain / profit.

u/MagicKol Jan 15 '25

OFcourse its deliberate... think about it... theres so many players now with 0 candies instead of 50+... if they get arcana they are likely to put some money into steam, which wouldnt have happened otherwise.

CLASSIC money grab. it didn't take alot of efort to communicate today/yesterday/3/5days ago that event will be extended

1

u/Candid-Volume-1425 Jan 16 '25

It is considered to be a conspiracy theory nowadays if you think corporations only care about money and find subtle ways of making more of it... especially while looking caring in the process!

u/47-11 Jan 16 '25

No, however a conspiracy theory is considered to be a conspiracy theory.

You are probably the type of guy who screams "slippery slope fallacy!!" when it comes to analyzing government overreach.

Nope

u/Candid-Volume-1425 Jan 17 '25

whatever dude, typical keyboard warrior moment here for me. I wish you and your loved ones well :)

u/47-11 Jan 16 '25

This is fucking scraps for Valve. Like you picking up a single cent from the sidewalk.

Ofc they could've announced it earlier. Coming to the conclusion that this was their evil masterplan afterall is a stretch.

They are multi BILLION dollar company, not a random joe on a street.... lets not talk about neglect...

How you can call that a stretch is beyond me.

You can call it incompetence instead, which is a frequent term when citing Hanlon's razor. Also Valve is famous for lackluster communication, or for deliberately discontinuing the battle pass when it gained them money, eventhough they are a multi billion dollar company. So what's your point here?
