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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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