There will be an option to buy Loot cases with actual real currency (well Blizzbux but same shit). It's like Hearthstone, you can buy/earn packs with in game shit OR use actual money.

Not that I would understand why anyone would do that. You get Loot boxes pretty fast and furiously just playing the damn game as it is.

Loot boxes are a slippery slope if you start using them. My friend loved H1Z1 or some zombie game like that, dude bought over $300 worth of crates trying to get "legendary items" and ended up with two of the same.

Kinda swore off buying those things because of how stupid people I know are with them.

They have said multiple times in multiple ways that anything that effects gameplay (Heroes, Maps etc) will never be behind any kind of paywall.

Overwatch was literally designed around switching Heroes pretty often, based around the needs of your team, the enemy team, the map etc. Locking any Heroes behind a paywall chucks all that out the fucking window.

at least you can earn all these ingame and there's a reasonable looking rate at which you can get them

You pay money, to spend more money.

In Overwatch, you're guaranteed a drop every level.

nobody is forcing you to buy them, if you're lucky you'll get a great skin out of a lootbox when you level up, or the amout of credits to buy it at least. I got enough credits to buy a legendary skin in the open beta while a friend got the same one for free. doesn't matter really.

you can get 1 every level, the XP reqs stay at 22000 from lvl 22 onward, and at level 100 it resets back to lvl 1 requirements, a continuous cicle

Are they though?
They've done some pretty shitty things in the past, granted, but there's no prescient for that for Blizzard. In fact, there's tons of evidence to the contrary. Hearthstone being ten times worse with the microtransactions, but also free to play, for example.

their games don't go f2p

release d3 was literally perfectly setup to be an f2p game if they added some microtransactions

wow would probably have a gorillion people playing if it was f2p

all their legacy games still cost a decent amount of money ($25aud for d2+lod, $50aud for wc3+frozen throne, $20aud for sc1+bw)

i didn't mean that i expect them to do that, but it would be less surprising than a blizzard game going f2p

>OH DEAR GOD! FUKIN BLIZZARD JEWS

You people need to grow up. Selling faster access to cosmetics that you can get yourself fairly easily just gives them a reason to support the game and keep adding maps/character for free.

I'd rather have this than have to pay for important content like characters and maps, e.g expansion packs (which is what every game in the past has done).

You can use in game currency (Also obtained through RNG boxes, granted) to "buy" whatever skin, spray, emote, etc. that you want.
I think they should implement a system where the winning team earns like 25 credits, instead of having them purely out of the random boxes.

EXP cats at 22k once you hit level 20 and you get 4 customizations per box. If you play a lot you rack em up pretty quick.

i think a lot of people would be super disappointed and turned off blizzard if they did a 180 on free characters/maps

the worst thing they've ever done microtransactions wise is level boosts in wow - which are shitty, but since their devteam literally only cares about the endgame and they're stupidly expensive it's not as bad as it would be in a game where levelling matters

i think all they have outside of the level boosts is comically overpriced cosmetics?

OP did you even play the beta? By "purchase" they are referring to the in game gold that you also receive through loot boxes. How is that DLC at all? I don't like Blizzard either, but you're a fucking idiot. Besides, it's literally all cosmetics. Who gives a shit.

No? Crates have no value in the Valve games, you can't open them without a key that is only purchasable with real money. Having an ability to get boxes from gameplay or being able to purchase boxes in order to get cosmetic stuff faster is a completely different system

How many of you actually fucking played the beta? This are the same fucking loot boxes and it was obvious they would have micro in the skins since some prices are high and not easy to get at low level, Also if you noticed the more you leveled up the more chances for better loot so I dont see the problem unless you need that skin day one for your fav hero.

see >>337509690


Plus it's been confirmed that you can buy lootcrates for real money.

Any repeat cosmetics you find in a loot get turned into credits and you can find credits in a lootcrate as you must have noticed in the beta. So in a way it's been confirmed that you can buy credits for real money.

A little jewish but at least the cosmetic stuff doesnt really affect the gameplay outside of shitty character silhouettes getting shittier

That's not really true. How many games are full of free, optional cosmetic shit like TF2 that aren't just straight up MMO's where character equipment is a core design? All that stuff would never be added to the game for free. It makes no sense to do that.

Meanwhile TF2 got years of added patching and service thanks to the added income. Regardless of if you think the balance is shit or not.
