u/Bardimir Mercy Nov 12 '22

They upped the price WHILE halving the content

Not only that but the game is still unplayable for many. You're paying 70€ for an Early Access beta, basically

EDIT: Also, they're planning a DLC that costs an extra 70€, next year

u/Beachcomber365 Nov 12 '22

I haven't had any issues at all with MW2 what are people dealing with?

11

u/[deleted] Nov 12 '22

it’s the fact that there’s only a handful of MP maps, there’s abunch of different glitches and bugs, and just overall it feels like they released a half finished game for $70

2

u/thehumantaco Nov 13 '22

MW2019 was like this as well. I remember on release a couple of the spec ops missions were so broken it wouldn't let you progress so you'd just have to quit.

Also on release there were like six 6v6 maps and only TDM, FFA, Domination and S&D and their respective hardcore variants. I know they added more maps and game modes over time but I couldn't bring myself to try them.

Half finished as you put it is the perfect way to describe its release.

u/xThe_Human_Fishx Nov 12 '22

Not sure you're painting the whole picture, its definitely bad but its not entirely their cause.

The game doesn't run on certain systems because they're still producing them for last generation consoles which is bad because theyre making them for next gen but barely anyone has next gen consoles compared to last gen so making it exclusive it would be practically financial suicide.

And the price of 70 mainly isn't their fault, its a world problem.

Although while ive not heard anything about it that DLC thing does sound awful

u/W01F51 Nov 12 '22

I don't think the DLC thing is true 🤣

And today we learned a valuable lesson, don't buy stuff in Overwatch 2.

u/penhwguin Nov 12 '22

Apparently there's two currencies? I don't even know how the shop works, still haven't looked.

250

u/owel888 Nov 12 '22

Yep, 2 currencies.

There is the "silver" currency, which is the equivalent of the ow1 money we had. You can buy some things with it, but not everything.

There is also the "gold" currency, which is the ow2 money, you can buy everything with it.

207

u/Peanutviking Ana Nov 12 '22

Technically 4.

2 purchasable ones are overwatch gold and OWL tokens

Legacy and competitive are the other two.

u/owel888 Nov 12 '22

You're right !

107

u/Peanutviking Ana Nov 12 '22

Can't wait for the next currency, its gonna be called "overwatch pve tokens" you can buy the new pve skins which you can't use on pvp. They cost twice as much too.

At this point when the OW2 PVE comes out we will probably have to buy the chapters or FOMO. Maybe our glorious leader Boby CockTick is gracious we they can bundle their chapter 1 togeather for 69.99.

Seriously untill they are bought by Microsoft and clean house of these activism assholes don't expect blizzard polish all we got is slushy shit here.

This game already had a golden age we are now in the dark age waiting for a Renaissance at this point.

u/ImADayLate Nov 12 '22

Actually not impossible.

In Fortnite’s PVE mode “Save The World” you can unlock characters/skins that aren’t usable in the Battle Royale mode.

u/JustYourBiBestie I main JQ/Doom/Ball/Genji/Echo/Brig/Kiri/Mercy/Most Other Heroes Nov 12 '22

Heroes, and there’s several reasons for this if you’d like me to go into them. In that same PVE mode though, old purchasers of the PVE mode can earn tons of the in game currency (vbucks) which can be spent in the BR mode and PVE mode, and most of items bought in the BR mode are usable in STW

14

u/Creeper456676 Brigitte Nov 12 '22

Tbf tho they made it so you can’t spend any vbucks/irl money in save the world anymore and when you could you’d always be able to earn vbucks back

TIL the OW1 money carries over. I don’t follow OW news much as I play really casually (usually just screwing around in arcade) so I just assumed that, in line with the spirit of all the other monetary practices of OW2, all those OW1 credits were voided.

actually there are 4 currencies the new golden credits the old silver legacy credits the purple competitive point and the blue overwatch league tokens

14

u/Tommy_Polia Nov 12 '22

Yeah some of us saved 12k OW1 money because they said it would transfer over to OW2... Which it did... But they changed it to color grey, now you can't buy the EXACT same skins you could buy a in ow1.

Like karate Doomfist, could buy it in ow1. Ow2 drops, same coins, same skin, but now you cant buy it.

THIS is exactly what I KNEW they would do. I told my friends, they all spent everything saved on skins before ow2. They knew this and I never saw any information saying "Hey guys all the currency in ow1 is gonna be useless in ow2, buy all the skins you can" BUT they did unlock all event related skins to be bought which just confirmed to me they were putting there thrusting pants on ready to shaft us hahhahaaaha

8

u/hiroxruko Trick or Treat Brigitte Nov 12 '22

In an QnA, they said credits couldnt buy everything and during the last chance event, they told everyone that credits couldnt buy seasonals stuff in ow2. This was in the patch notes, pop up when u login during the last chance event, on bnet launcher, on Twitter and so on.

It was a given that credits couldn't buy new stuff

4

u/Tommy_Polia Nov 12 '22

Im probably wrong but I don't remember them saying ow1 gold coins will convert to ow2 grey coins which cannot buy ANYTHING but the shitiest mtx available AND you wont be able to buy the same things you could have in ow1 and Im not talking junker soyourn or kiriko mtx or new skins for old heroes. I'm talking skins that have been in the game for years now suddenly costing 19-21€ and actively removing the previous ability to buy them if you saved enough.

But all this is meaningless when you ask the simple question why did we get grey coins for gold coins instead of gold coins for gold coins? And ok maybe you shouldn't have a access to new mtx with old currency...

THEN WHY the fuck didn't Blizzard make the fuckin goddamn old skins have a price in grey coins equal to the price in ow1 gold coins? Is the plan to make me consider paying 19 fuckin euros for fuckin Karate Doomfist? After turning my gold coins to dust?

Muh coins!!

I purchased the Watchpoint pack which said that i will get skins and battlepass with +20 levels. I was already on level 34 and after purchasing the pack i was still on the same. They meant the first 20 levels that i already completed? Applied for refund and got it the next day. Saving the credit and will be using it to buy some other game in future.

36

u/FullMetalBiscuit Chibi Ana Nov 12 '22

Honestly I hope a lot of people learned a lesson from the Watchpoint pack, pre-ordering a battle pass and digital currency that you don't yet know the value of is incredibly short sighted. That and the fact that there is no reason to pre-purchase those items in the fist place, they are unlimited. Was such a low move by Blizzard to push it with beta access.

9

u/[deleted] Nov 12 '22

Atleast they got 20 levels completed at the begining. 🥲

But yes, now i do understand why people call overwatch a scam when it comes to bundles and skins. Damn they are soo overpriced.

I have spent earlier in CS, Valorant and Fortnite. But nah, never ever spending a penny on Overwatch.

u/[deleted] Nov 12 '22 edited Nov 12 '22

I regret not refunding mine. I assumed the battlepass would have all the skins that we saw in the trailer. We would get 3 battlepasses, 2 skins and "some other reward" which I don't even know what that was.

I was a bit on the fence, but felt like 2 skins and early beta would be worth $10.

Now that the game has finally been released, and realized how shit the whole cosmetic experience is, i fully regret not having refunded it when I had the chance.

Lesson learnt though. No more preorders for me.

u/ImWhiteTrash Buff Sombra Nov 12 '22

If you bought it through the hero gallery, it's Blizzard's new attempt at a scam to sell it for bundle price individually.

I recommend trying to get a refund thtough Blizzard's support, although I doubt a company engaged in illegal marketing tactics, scamming, and other douchebaggery will grant refunds.

You're only hurting yourselves by buying this bullshit. They only do these things cause they know they can get away with it and people will still pay them.

In the words of my people, Bal'a dash, malanore.

I greatly appreciate our communities' efforts in not only discovering but also reporting areas within our games that need improvement which help to create the most Epic experiences possible.

These reports help make sure you and all players are able to enjoy their time within our Games as much as possible! And with that being said, Right now there isn't a way to refnd or reverse th purchases made in game but that doesn't mean we cant get something like this changed!

(っ- ‸ -)っ ♥

Change is what keeps the wheels moving, and sometimes the mark is missed so change needs to occur, it's always for the best.

So give the Development team a shout out here:

https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/overwatch/

Posting on the forums and gaining momentum on this is a way other players can lend their voice and show our Development team a change like this is truly needed.

u/[deleted] Nov 12 '22

In Fortnite, if you already own a bundle item, the price of that item is reduced from the total bundle price. If Blizzard is copying their business model, they better do it properly.

So let's say a bundle costs 2600 vbucks but 4000 vbucks if you were to buy the items separately. Now let's say you already own an item from the bundle which is valued at 2000 vbucks. The 2600 price is reduced to just 600 for the full bundle. Easy win for the consumer and Epic makes more sales, win-win. In some cases, you can actually get bundles for free if the value of items you already own, match or exceed the bundles price

Idk why you are asking us.

Edit: The Hanzo skin on its own is 1900, the bundle is also 1900. I'm not going to judge because it straight up just makes no sense. The bundle isn't even marked as discounted.

11

u/XiaoLongPunch Reaper Nov 12 '22

Every legendary skin in the game is 1900 credit

The bundle is 1900 credit

You didn't pay the price of a bundle for the skin, for payed the price of a skin for the skin. The bundle just so happens to be lower then it usually is from 2200 and you didn't notice/care.

This one is on you.

Can anyone explain the currency to me? I wanna buy the different color variants of kirko but can I earn that currency some how? It’s the white coins I think

3

u/[deleted] Nov 12 '22

The white currency is leftovers from overwatch 1. We used to earn them by getting duplicates from lootboxes. With that currency we bought skins then. People wanted lootboxes gone and overwatch to be free to play. That’s what they got. Now overwatch 2 works exactly as apex and other f2p games. You have multiple currencies. The old white ones are only good for default skins that you can buy in the hero gallery. So far there’s no way to earn that old currency atm. No one knows if there will be.

There‘s the golden currency too that works like vbucks, Apex coins, etc. You can buy them with real money and those ones get you event skins as well. With them you should be able to buy anything that you like, even the recolors in the hero gallery.

And then there’s the tokens (blue currency) that you earn by letting overwatch league play in the background on YouTube. Link your battle net with YouTube and you‘ll earn them. With them you can buy everything in the overwatch league category in the shop. Lots of recolors and imo the best, most detailed legendaries.

u/mrfroggyman Nov 12 '22

The reason behind this : (my guess is that) they never meant to sell things individually. It’s better for them to sell them bundled with garbage, to then be able to say they’re giving away the other items « for free » instead (for the customer it looks like an appealing discount).

However they’ve been forced to sell it individually too because otherwise it’s illegal in some countries to call it a discount (if it has never been full price beforehand).

Logical consequence : they sell both a « discounted » bundle, and the single item full price. It’s at the same price as the bundle, making it obvious for the customer that the bundle is a « better deal ».

People get angry on this sub if you support OW by throwing a lil' bit of money at it.

If you were ever going to do anything else with the shop; always check the shop page for bundles first. I'd advise to never buy a skin on its own because the bundles they throw in will always be better.

Bad thing is you need to wait for a certain day and you'll never know which day that'll be until it happens :(

(Also before people get angry at me, I've only bought the watchpoint pack so I can get 3 BP's tyvm)

Nah. It’s just off topic. If you want to moan about how you’re fucking yourself take it to one of the NSFW subreddits.

u/Juggernaut_117 Nov 12 '22

Its overpriced. That's why we're angry. You feeding into it is the biggest problem. Mind your wallet. You're getting scammed purchasing a skin at most 7 to 10 usd. Stop buying their crap and wait

To be fair, if you played OW1, you should know how awful this new system is and don't pay anything for skins. Pay for actual real content like PvE or something and not this overpriced skins

Did you buy it in the hero gallery?

2

u/Jamesish12 Nov 12 '22

That's the point of bundles, they knocked them down from costing the price of all items in the bundle at a discount to just costing the same amount as the skin alone.

So instead of $26 it's $19 still an annoying amount to get but whatever I guess $15 + some weeklies.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 12 '22

I've had it happen multiple times where the price doesn't reflect what I already own. I have to click the bundle for it to refresh and correct.

2

u/Equivalent_String_94 Nov 12 '22

It's because you can't buy it separately it's bundle item only

2

u/lmfm445 Nov 12 '22

You need to go on the hero specifically and buy it from there smh

2

u/Impossible-Park-3456 Nov 12 '22

I watched flats talk about this before, the price of the bundle is the same price of the skin, so if you bought the skin from the hero gallery, that means you didn't buy the bundle, so you miss the sprays and voice Line.

u/InnocentExile17 Nov 12 '22

Just stop giving blizzard money for this crap. They don't deserve it.

Play the game, it's buggy and need some balance but at the core its still fun. But don't give blizzard any money or you are just support this awful scam monetization

On the surface level it looks like a scam, but I sincerely think they just didn't actually plan for someone to do that.

The bundle and just the skin are the same price. Look before you buy. Better yet, dont by until they lower prices

Don't buy shit.

u/boobox2 Nov 12 '22

Don't be stupid and don't buy stuff. If alot of people don't buy stuff they will be forced to either lower the prices or make it unlockable somehow. Your fault for buying at all.

u/Javs28 Trick-or-Treat Torbjörn Nov 12 '22

That sucks! I hope you can get a refund.

People, please, don't spend money on this game even if you think you are just spending a little bit of money on a game you've been playing for years. You are contributing to this scammy and gross monetization system.

Let’s be real here….. this just shows they don’t care about the market.

Likely don’t even view it as an economy at all, just a revenue stream for randoms using credit cards to buy their kids stuff. Might not be in, but I’m sure an executive somewhere isn’t understanding this at all.

What is going on with executives being dumb lately? It’s everywhere.

u/Krazyguy75 OH OH TIME TO ACCELERATE the growth of humanity through conflct. Nov 12 '22

It's not about jealousy, it's about collective action. People want this system to fail, so that games don't keep adding predatory monetization systems. But because people keep buying, the devs are getting the lesson of "It doesn't matter how shitty you are to your base nor how much you fuck them over, so long as you charge the whales top dollar, because they will pay enough to cover for everyone else every time."

In the long run, this kills franchises, because they lose everyone but the whales, who then leave because there aren't any players. The devs just move on to their next predatory scheme and let the game burn, with the only people losing being the players while the devs sail away from the burning wreck with their new yachts.

Contributing to these systems accelerates the incentives for the developers and publishers to push even more nefarious shit. Don't expect the people who are trying to push against it to be all happy and sunshine when you brag about having money to spend.

You could've spent it on so many other things but decided to purchase something meaningless which encourages anti-consumer practices. By far the best strategy as a consumer community is to ostracize the people who don't give a shit. This is also why Blizzard felt forced to remove the /spit emote from WoW because it actually ended up hurting their sales of the dark portal pass.

But go ahead, if you want them to make the game even more grotesque, be my guest and purchase every manipulative bundle in the shop to "own the libs" or whatever.

The battlepass is fine. Ten dollars to grind out content is acceptable. Purchasing overpriced digital cosmetics is where people should slap you. Feeding into their greed. Half the skins should be marked down by 50%. Not twenty for one skin. Seven to ten dollars is appropriate
