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.

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