No it doesn’t and I bet you’ll be hit by them.

Let me check if I understand the reports correctly. the cosmetic item changes both arrow sizes of regular attacks and Sacred Arrow attacks, right? So regular attacks look like default Sacred Arrow attacks and Sacred Arrow attacks are bigger? How would Valve not foresee this as a problem? For that matter, why is it even allowed for cosmetic arrows? This isn’t Chess, having a Bishop looking too much like a Pawn is forgivable. This is not a turn-based strategy game and it doesn’t sit well with me that they are confusing people, including me.

No, you got it wrong. It doesn’t change default arrow – only Sacred. There is no problem because cosmetic items are optional.

If you really think it’s going to hinder your game, don’t use it. That’s just BS. You don’t see people crying over Pudge’s items that make his hook bigger and flashy.

if you dont like the new arrow simply dont use it and stop whining about every item. like all my requests were ignored so i hope with all my heart this thread will also be ignored.

“i want my flashy arrow because i dont care if it has balance issues “

Yeh sure sounds about right (not). If it has gameplay impact, iґm all on board the “fix” train. So balance >look of this arrow.

Your requests are ignored because they’re fucking retarded. All you do is whine about the Alpine set.

On topic, there is no balance issue. The default arrow was designed to stand out on any part of the map. That’s why it’s pale blue, and that’s why it glows. The size reduction “bug fix” a while back was purely a placebo, and had no impact on her playability at all.

Besides, even if it was a valid point that the cosmetic arrow makes a difference, it could only be a difference that has a negative effect for the buyer. If it’s bigger and flashier, the argument would be that it’s easier to spot, not harder, which means it’s impossible to claim that it’s a pay to win cosmetic.

u are fucking retarded.

and i speak the truth.. alpine is looking very good, if it wasn’t than it would not be so desirable. “community” whined to remove it cause of the low voted item in the workshop, so how come so many low rated items got into the game? so why valve favors only certain people ? or only certain things?
i really hope they wont fix this arrow. it is very simple u dont like it, u dont buy it.

It has nothing to do with “dont like–>dont buy” really.
It has to do with:
People (new and old all alike) dont recognize this arrow as an arrow, the 1st time they see it. And thats the problem. (besides the fact that it “flashes” in eye but wayane)

We dont want valve to remove it, we just want it to be a little bit “not flashy”. You can archive this by reducing the glow on it.

Wrong. The quality was awful on every part aside from the gloves. For some reason Valve implemented the early version of the set.

It’s desirable because it’s rare. It has absolutely nothing to do with how good it does or does not look. It’s one of the least available cosmetics in the game, alongside other super-rare items like the Golden Roshan or the TI2 couriers.

Wrong. That was only part of the reason, and a fairly minor part at that. It was removed because it was in no way appropriate as a warrior’s outfit. It broke the game’s immersion horrendously.

pls no ignorino

I’ve already explained why it isn’t a problem, and how it can’t be mistaken for a difference spell. It’s extremely obvious that it’s still an arrow, because there isn’t any other straight, pale blue, glowing projectiles that get fired from the fog. There’s nothing you can mistake it for.

Unless you’re extremely simple-minded and learn every aspect of the game by rote alone. In which case you must have a fit every time a hero model is updated or a new cosmetic becomes popular. It’s as bad as that idiot who complained that he was scared of Void’s Bfury cosmetic because he thought it meant the hero was actually carrying one.

Its not about mistaking it for another spell. Its about the flashing shit that can easy distracts you from important things that could go on while you look at the arrow.

I just ask for valve to “tune” it down a little so that it dont distract all that much anymore. (instead of using full white, why not use some grey-ish color but oh well. )
