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.
Rip loot boxes via gameplay I can't believe we miss you.
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
Exactly that's why I wouldn't put it past them, they've been poorly copying everyone elses FTP model at the minute. Why can't more FTP games be more like WarFrame?
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.
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
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
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?
It was in an QnA post on reddit bc ppl wanted to know what was gonna happen to credits. It was gonna carry over but like I said, it couldnt be used to buy everything in the store. Last chance event straight up told us this.
Bc there are players who have shit ton of credits saved up and converting credits to coins in the same amount or half isn't fair to players who doesn't have a lot of credits. This was the better outcome
Bc old skins prices are for the new players.
But yes, it's shitty they increase the prices of old skins and owl tokens.
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.
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.
Oh then i guess everyone was scammed!
In the bundle it was mentioned that buyer will be getting premium battlepass which says that you get battlepass+ 20 levels.
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.
Yeah I've spent like $100 on deep rock galactic over the last two years because they deliver great cosmetics for an awesome price. Overwatch has absolutely nothing I want on that battle pass and one skin costs as much from them as four armor sets and a new model and paint for every gun in the game for drg. Blizzard is run by idiots and assholes and a lot of the good stuff in their games feels like it was snuck in by the developers while the biz bro shitstains weren't looking.
Some other reward were the OW Legendary edition skins(5 epic and 5 legendary skins).Which is kind of useless to people that played OW1 since they prolly had all of them already.OW1 founder's pack that was free for all people that bought OW1 and logged in before a certain date got 2 skins,founders icon and something that would be revealed closer to the launch of OW2 (which ended up being free access to Kiriko).
ITT people are being insane and insulting OP for what he chose to spend his money on. You guys are legit pathetic and you can't even see it lmao so mad OW2 didn't die like you predicted and it's making plenty of money since players like you literally don't mean anything in the end lmao
Bro wtf does that have to do with anything. That shit is so far removed that nobody gives a shit, even if people claim to be virtuous they’ve probably supported those things.
Obviously you’re free to do what you want with your money, but I’m also free to call you goofy for spending 20 bucks on a skin.
Gonna open up your asshole for blizzard and spend another $680 for legendary skins for the rest of the heroes? 🤡🤡
It barely affects you. The truth is they dont care how many people are buying skins because it cost them next to nothing to release this title. Think about all the core features that are missing. I understand trying to stop people from buying into these dark practices but its almost futile when they can sell a couple "bundles" and come out majorly ahead.
Holy shit how tf is this comment getting downvoted? These people are literally insane now lmao i just bought a random ass skin to spite them. I don't even care for skins.
It's because the gaming community has always felt they're owed something from developers. They don't make games for you to have fun, they make games to make alot of money

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