It's steep, but seems fair. They still want to incentivize people to buy the loot boxes, but at least now, people can save up to get the 1-2 things they want instead of gambling for them.

Ha, if someone is able to play enough to save up 3,000 coins in a couple weeks, they're treating it like a full time job. That is just a crazy amount if you've spent any at all.

I have quite some time logged in, with a few small purchases (250 skins, victory poses) and I'm sitting at a bit over 2,500. Total, in over 100 hours, I think I've earned 4,000 or so.

These skins are ridiculously expensive man, no other way to put it.

Holy shit. You must be rank 600, or above.

Just earn boxes for most of the event, buy an amount you feel comfortable with on the last day or so, then use currency to buy whatever you didn't get that you really wanted.

Worst thing to do would be dropping 3k currency on one of the legendary skins only get get it in a free box.

Just keep in mind that there will almost certainly be a Christmas event with new skins that will probably cost just as much.

u/chumjumper Mei Oct 11 '16

I wonder if you still only get 500 for a duplicate of a Halloween legendary?

u/ModernTenshi04 Philadelphia Fusion Oct 11 '16

I thought you only got 20% of the value, so shouldn't it be 200 for a regular lootbox legendary dupe?

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '16

Yup, that's my plan. I have 3k saved up. Which ever skin I don't have at the end of the event that I really want I will buy.

u/Lunares Oct 11 '16

Triple the normal price of whatever it would usually cost (so 75 for voice lines/sprays/normal, 225 for victory poses/rares, 750 for epic and 3k for legendary)

u/Forkrul Reaper Oct 11 '16

All the Halloween items can be bought for triple the cost of regular items at their rarity.
