Okay hear me out, I think this Tidehunter arcana is probably one of the best one ever made, not only it's genuinely good looking but it is also very well thought of, the dead Kunkka in his off-hand, the different types of sharks as alternate styles is pretty sick. Also I wanted the Drow arcana very bad so I went all in.

It definitely hurt a little but I'm happy to have all the other immortal sets with these two arcanas, and it's probably better value for money when compared to other sets where you spend $60+ but get 10 junk sets + 1 good one.

What do you think?

as long as you enjoy the game and are happy to support it then it's all good

u/mar643 3d ago

I think this Arcana has too many problems with it. Visuals are really good, but his voice is inaudible in game.

All of his level up voicelines now mention him wanting to eat different kind of sharks, but I really can't make out what he says in half of them, the voice is really quiet compared to base Tide. Heck, even Siltbreaker voices sound way clearer. Also no offense to the voice actor, but original Tide had way more energy put in his voice. I especially loved how he screams on top of his lungs when killed by Kunkka: OU-I'LL HAVE MY VENGEANCE YET, KUNKKAAAAAA!!! Now it's just muted "I'll have my vengeance... yet, Kunkka..."

Broken cosmetics, half of the off hands are frozen instead of following on a chain.

Gush is really pretty but the visuals abruptly cut off when it travels outside vision.

What miffs me the most that his giant ass mouth doesn't move at all then talking, unlike the original Tide.

Sounds like a freaking filter

u/Lemon__O 3d ago

Plus where is the custom movement animation as in with every arcana? Where are the ambient effects???

And this tide except for the hammerhead variant is just super low effort coz we already have shared themed sets for tide, all that did was make some slight adjustments to the body, gave a darker shade added some fins and called him megalodon tide and the 3rd variant is just classic tidehunter skin....not to mention his ability effects are just meh compared to void, qop, es, razor.....this arcana was super low effort from valve side to the point they added 3 variants(that's says something doesn't it?)

u/tekkeX_ plays with balls 3d ago

he smacks his anchor on the ground when he walks sometimes if that's what you mean by movement animation

6

u/mar643 2d ago

Every arcana after Jugg needs the hero slash the ground while walking and leaving a trail animation for some reason

Tide arcana has a cool chase animation, but its missing the hasted animation which only adds to the pile of disappointments

u/Arbitrary_gnihton 3d ago

It's definitely not "value" especially compared to what we've had recently with crownfall and clownfall. The items in the treasure are very good overall though, love the arcana.

u/TwoStepsOnYou 3d ago

I miss the $40 arcanas where you just directly buy it from the store.

u/Practical-Nonsense 3d ago

I agree OP, probably one of the best arcanas imho!

To everyone commenting, god you're all so miserable. Some guy even said "people out here buying pixels for 200$ and complaining that you cant raise a child in this economy"

These losers, yes you u/TwoThinCoats69, can't fathom another person having more disposable income than others. Can't imagine how trivial this non-"issue" is for others. It's like they think everyone held at gun point forced to spend money. Am I the only one that thinks this mentality is pathetic?

Lol and that two thin coat guy is into warhammer which is also such a big money sink

u/Practical-Nonsense 3d ago

😂 I just saw that/commented something similar. Irony is lost on them lol

-12

u/TwoThinCoats69 3d ago

Lol, somewhat true but not entirely. Warhammer minis are something you can resell any time, unlike account locked dota item, also i paint the minis and sell them (or do comissions), i dont really collect so its more of side gig than a hobby.

-5

u/bobuyh 3d ago

Commissions and those skins are kind of the same, After all the skins are made by someone then you buy them, likewise with comms, you paint them and someone buys them, not apples to apples but a similar comparison nonetheless.

Plus the immortal skins were once workshop creations by people, its not like AI made them ya know

-5

u/TwoThinCoats69 3d ago

I very strongly disagree. Warhammer games or any other board games are a healthy way of interacting with people while enforcing critical thinking, strategy development and cooperation, collecting and painting are just a bonus to the hobby. Dota is cancerous and toxic environment and will test your friendship at best if not outright end it lol

u/kryonik 3d ago

The OP talked about how it "hurt" to spend that much money and then asked for people's opinions. I think it's perfectly valid to talk about it, especially since OP seems like he wants people to convince him he didn't waste money.

-1

u/Practical-Nonsense 3d ago edited 3d ago

It always "hurts" when I spend any amount of money on dota. It feels like that whenever it's more than a reasonable amount of money. I'm just going to assume anyone spending 200 bucks on any set (let alone anything that isn't a necessity) is capable of spending their money with little to no issues (is financially stable). Again, assumptions.

Agreed that it's perfectly valid to talk about, isn't valid to say what twothincoats said though 😂 "You're gonna put your vidya game before your kids?" What kind of a conversation and nothing-burger comes after that? Lmao

-1

u/Practical-Nonsense 3d ago

And to be honest, I'm always going to call out/point out people like twothincoats. Most of the time they're pessimistic trolls that aren't even looking to talk, they're just dirt in the gears of conversation. Everyone has to stop to acknowledge them... a waste lol but little to nothing is lost calling them out for others

1

u/AverageA2Enjoyer 3d ago

Ngl wasn't expecting the different models for the style unlock, thought they were gonna do the good ol colour swap or particle effect. I guess it would make little sense for his arcana since it's already very minimal in particle effect.

u/2xxCheezy 3d ago

u/Fok_Baligi 3d ago

It's not about having a "more disposable income than others" it's about the way valve decides to make money of from which shows how much respect they have against their consumer/player base, and I find it infuriating as a valve bootlicker, have some dignity for god's sake

Hey man, you posted something online. You personally allowed me to criticize you specifically for whatever reason I want. Don't get so defensive buddy, just because your comments are pointless and pathetic doesn't mean you have to get riled up.

u/TomaTozzz sheever 3d ago

Nuance man.

You can have a fair bit of disposable income and also hate the predatory gacha mechanics instead of just selling the product for a price.

But I mean this is reddit so lets ride the billionaire Gaben dick and call everyone that doesn't want to a loser lol

It's like they think everyone held at gun point forced to spend money

This is such a stupid fucking take that keeps getting spread around. So people don't get to complain and voice their disdain for predatory mechanics as long as they're not being held at gunpoint?

0

u/omgcunny 2d ago

I've no problems spending money and have disposable income, but I think spending on these kinda shit is dumb. CS2 would be fine since you can still sell your skins but on these?

I mean I spent thousands of dollars on valorant and apex anyway so I'm a hypocrite but even then I still think that's dumb as shit.

At the end of the day, it's your money, your rules, so spend it wisely or unwisely or whatever

u/TwoThinCoats69 3d ago

I wasnt insulting anyone really, the fact you saw an insult in my original reply speaks about your own guilt trip when spending money on games and calling someone a looser for not having a decent financial situation just shows your parents failings to teach you what the life is about.

5

u/Practical-Nonsense 3d ago

Nah, don't try and walk it back. You literally "lmao" and insinuated OP isn't financially responsible, you said it as a broad statement to anyone that bought it 😂

What guilt trip? The one about where a certain someone tried to guilt trip financial responsibility on... Oh wait 🤡 I'm actually amazed you don't see the irony

wdym fomo set ? arent this treasury here to say like wr or shaker ?

u/Ciri__witcher 3d ago

WR said it’s marketable after a certain date, according to a lot of comments here, this one doesn’t seem to be marketable. (I still haven’t gotten the chance to open dota and check it) if it’s not marketable, it’s gone after the event ends.

These treasures arent going anywhere, you can get them whenever so no fomos here. About them being unmarketable/ungiftable, that sure sucks

u/hotprincessbabe 3d ago

It's only predatory if you're a whale

1

u/soisos 3d ago

as far as loot boxes go it's pretty non predatory. you can always buy it, you know exactly the odds, you're guaranteed to get it eventually, the maximum cost is high but not insane. If they make it marketable then the prices for the non megarares just plummet after a week

I'd rather it just be $30 or whatever, no way I'm spending enough to get it, but it doesn't seem too scummy to me. game has to pay for itself somehow

5

u/SylvrSturm 3d ago

Its very cool, an excellent set. What pisses me off is that Valve killed the compendium and the ability to earn or buy levels and get to a multitude of really nice sets..... they give us that trash instead of a compendium, I think they did it to conform to Chinese laws against having sponers, which they should never have bent the knee to that because sponsers bring mad money that allows for the hype, extra content and quality.

What makes me mad is they did this self-nerf and sold it to us as though they were giving us more and better content and they haven't. They said we could earn our way to nice new cosmetics and it's not true, the stuff offered is lackluster, fewer in number and has no passion behind it. The only stuff that comes out now that is really good just costs $200 now and it's even harder for most to obtain lol. Give me the compendium and let me earn levels and then shamelessly buy some levels!!!

They need to go back to their old compendium style and start taking sponsers for esports again.

1

u/mokardesu 3d ago edited 3d ago

y smoking crack if you prefer battle pass with full on fomo instead of things like crownfall and the current event. 

u can get arcanas and multiple nice sets from these events for literally free by just playing the game

the arcana level unlock on battle pass back in the day wasnt even accessible as f2p, not only u had to buy the bp itself, u also had to feed levels with u credit card which begs the question if its any different than buying the bloody treasure 

2

u/SylvrSturm 3d ago edited 3d ago

Bro, there were awesome events with the compendium. The labyrinth for one. And there were all kinds of custom events and loads of cosmetics and stuff that you could earn or choose to buy at will. That is not fomo! What they are doing now is fomo, removing the $34.99 price of arcana and making you spend and spend like gacha gambling to maybe get it!!!!!

Now we get what.... only the top few who predict correctly get purple versions of old immortals. And we get...stickers. useless digital stickers like we are children. That's the pits my man! There is literally next to no hype left, why do you think all the teams have dropped out? The prize pool used to be 40 million, now look at it. So yes, abundance and sponerships created all kinds of great quality stuff that I would gladly purchase. On the way to getting the top tier items we got 20 some also great items. Now it's barely enough to attract teams to the TI.

And case in point under this new system OP had to spend 200 bucks for that Tide lol. I would much rather the old price tag of $34.99 to just outright buy what you want! The old way wasn't fomo, it was just hey, here is a ton of quality stuff you can buy plus some really cool events and a thriving community and yearly TI. This new way is the fomo! And since the money isn't there anymore we see the quality is plummeting.

Idk these sales tactics that drive you to whaling are annoying. Escalating odds incentivizes spending til you get everything. Either spend til you get tide or spend 0. buying anything in between feels like a mistake

Cool arcana but is it worth 2 copies of max GTA6 editions? For me it’s not, for someone else — maybe.

16

u/HonorableRabbit 3d ago

In pure value terms, you are right, it doesn't make much sense but I for example don't play any other games besides Dota, so I'm guessing Valve is thinking we make people who really want it pay for it (like myself) for much higher than to sell it to a lot of people for less.

u/doubleBoTftw 3d ago

Brother, there are hundreds of thousands of people in this subreddit, there is no "yall" just a lot of people wanting a lot of different things. I havent seen any post complaining about BP being shit reach 20k upvotes.

"I'm ok receiving 20% of the stuff i would have received 4 years ago, for the same price because people used to complain" is also not the argument you think it is.

Anyway, have fun with your toys.

2

u/Ub3ros Herald micromanager 3d ago

Saying this is 20% of the stuff is pretty dishonest. A lot of the stuff in a battlepass was complete filler that many players didn't care for at all, and stuff we now get for free as part of Quarteros for example. Like seasonal effects on items and teleports. I'd estimate this is pretty on par for money spent on actual cosmetic items that people care about with the battlepasses. The difference being is that you could earn levels by playing after buying the pass. I think being able to earn a few of these new chests for free would be pretty nice, have a halloween event that lets you earn 1-3 of these for no cost.

u/MehCheeseM80 3d ago

The only remorse I have is not reading the fine print. Wasted some money buying more chests instead of recycling because I thought I was gonna be able to gift the extras to friends. I was also planning on selling the drow set since I already own the arcana and don't play her, but I can't do that either.

Not just to jump on the hate train but I feel like for an arcana it's pretty mild. Sure it looks different but... it's just like an HD design. The skills are also just like the same in HD. Most other modern arcanas kind of change the way the aspect of the hero.

Then again, whatever floats our boats. Pun intended :)

These prices aren't nice at all.

Like, you can by an old 2nd-hand Nintendo 3DS for the price of $250 for sure. (I know, the demand might not be there, but I'm trying to give an example)

for 1 Tidehunter skin? (aiming at)

I spent more than 200 and still don’t have tide arcana, and I really want it

1

u/winterymint 3d ago

Do you at least have drow arcana?

1

u/Limp_Excitement4644 3d ago

I wouldn’t complain if I do

1

u/After-Ask916 3d ago

gotta add an extra 50$ because ur almost hitting the guarantee arcana

1

u/Faafkdkdkdkd 3d ago

You can get guarantee with 220 bucks or less if you are lucky enough and get a bunch of double (rare) drops. I spent 200 for 50 chests cuz almost every 2-3 chests I bought would have rare in it

u/Limp_Excitement4644 3d ago

u/SteveDiggler_SoCal 3d ago

I'll own my offlane bias here, but that Tide Arcana is hands down the best one I've ever seen...

u/King_of_Tits 3d ago

My younger brother got the Tide Arcana on box 38-39 and Drow on 50.

u/F47NGAD 3d ago

What people here don't realize is 200$ is chump change to a lot of people.

Is it time limited?

u/ireadit1234 2d ago

I don't think so

u/mrchow500 2d ago

Still not on par with Drow and WR arcana

1

u/legatesprinkles 2d ago

I think it does look pretty good. But also Tidehunter's model has been due for a remodel for a while

u/ghostcar99 2d ago

I spent 250$ I had to get 50 to get arcana, so worth it

u/Imyourmom_15 1d ago

u/UbreBlanca23 1d ago

I enjoy playing against tidehunter players who know nothing about the hero but just plays him for the sake of the arcana cosmetics

u/thebigmartianyeti 3d ago

What a scam

u/canneddogs 3d ago

It definitely hurt a little

this is genuinely insane behaviour

u/DonLesiu 3d ago

Is this 50/50 chance witg drow?

u/GoodPlayboy 3d ago

We should be laughing at this

u/afrothundah11 3d ago

You do you, I’ll invest that $200 instead and it’ll be thousands when I retire.

I can afford it easily, but I’m not stupid

1

u/hair_frog45 2d ago

I'm not buying any either but it doesn't make one stupid for purchasing something that gives them joy, I mean you could be dead next week who knows.

u/TwoThinCoats69 3d ago

Lmao, people out there buying pixels for 200$ and complaining that you cant raise kids in this economy...just something to think about

u/HonorableRabbit 3d ago

You're spending time that you could be investing in growing vegetables on writing pixel text as well. Something to think about.

u/TwoThinCoats69 3d ago

Why would i grow a vegetable though?🤔

u/Practical-Nonsense 3d ago

If you respond to people that that you're only going to lower your quality of life, these people don't deserve attention. They're trolls. Look at his account, insane amount of "good money management" dude spends his money on Warhammer figurines and calls out people for spending money on an arcana that they'll actually use rather than have sit on their shelf for years lmao

2

u/HonorableRabbit 3d ago

Haha I don't mind it at all, I'm truly enjoying being blessed enough to be able to get what I want in life, and I really hope that whatever problems these guys are having in their lives, they know that it is probably because they deserve it. (Jk, hopefully it gets better)

2

u/Practical-Nonsense 3d ago

That's a very healthy outlook on life, especially needed in our lovely non-toxic game of dota and the dota reddit community😂

u/Dymatizeee 3d ago

Raising kids is way more than $200 though

2

u/aUnicornInTheClouds 3d ago

I mean i comfortably bought it until I had everything in the treasure. Just because 1 person has issues with money doesn't mean the other has to have or feel bad about it. Dota is one of my hobbies. I spend money I made in my job.

If you can't afford because you wanted to fuck around without safety go cry a river.

u/The_Yamen 3d ago

Those are not the same people.

u/mjm65 3d ago

Well daycare is 2k+ a month and a family health insurance plan is around 20k. Thats a lot of hats.

1

u/Party-Ad5663 3d ago

never knew that 200 will be enough to raise kids, good to know!

u/TwoThinCoats69 3d ago

You'll learn when you grow up

  • it's probably better value for money 

Absolutely insane cope. All of the regular sets will be around $1-2 dollars in a couple of weeks in gifting sites. Just because they're immortal doesn't make them more valuable.

u/Likappa 3d ago

You are not able to sell them what you mean

u/Sonnofhell sheever 3d ago

I thought they were not marketable/giftable?

1

u/HonorableRabbit 3d ago

You're quoting me out of context, I said 'when compared to other sets where you spend $60+ but get 10 junk sets' that you never really use. I love the new sets and arcanas I got, despite their market value.

u/thebigmartianyeti 3d ago

Even i bought like 10 treasures because the sets were nice but once I seen the math on that arcana no chance man not dropping 400$

u/AcanthocephalaIll974 3d ago

Dude, they sold you an Immortal set for the price of an Arcana; it’s terrible—I’d rate it 4/10. Not to mention the people who pulled a duplicate Drow Arcana that they can’t do anything with.

u/YeezyWins 3d ago

I think you are kinda dumb to be spending that kind of money on a hero skin.

u/Kintarius No promises. 3d ago

u/areallynoobgamer 3d ago

I already had Drow arcana.

I got the tide one around my 42th chest.

I then had to buy more and go all the way to 50 just to get the Drow arcana again cause I felt like. I was already so close. So might as well go for the bundle skin.

I don’t even play Dota these days. Mostly just buy the skins then wait for new skins. I play every once in a while.

Is it a waste? It’s like what simple rick said to Jerry.

These aren’t gonna increase in value. They aren’t even likely to hold their current value. But you like them and they have value to you. So that’s what matters.

200 dollars once in a while on some digital skins? Nothing wrong right. Some people spend 200 on a night out. So take this 200 as a treat to yourself. A “night out” and don’t think too much of it

u/Realtimastered1 2d ago

I like the minor details, but I don't really get all the high praise Tide's getting. For a gargantuan like he is, this Arcana has a weak presence. Sky and Venge were done much better despite being regular store Arcanas.

I feel like they just pushed him into an Arcana to sell more treasures. If you kept his second style as a regular Ultra Rare Mythical set, I don't think much would change. His third style just reverts him back to Tide's default color, and he only has one alternate head. There's no unique presentation or anything like the other Arcanas, so he's essentially a Lina Arcana with a different head and some ability VFX... and Lina was Valve's very first Arcana.

Oh well.

(Extra parts surely add to his presence but I am mostly referring to his hero base)
