HELLO GAMERS ARE YOU ENJOYING OVERWATCH, THE HIT NEW MULTIPLE FPS EXPERIENCE WITH FREE, THAT'S RIGHT FREE SKINS?

Absolutely free skins! And not only that but all new content will also be ABSOLUTELY FREE

just

like

your

skins

are

No word right now as to how much new heroes will cost (other than free) but expect something in the realm of 2000-3000 credits. Not getting credits fast enough from your loot boxes? Don't worry gamers you can buy some phat loot boxes and access your free content even faster!

I bought 50 and I have autism over authenticity of character design so I have to use the original skins even though I unlocked a million different skins.

>>339605618
They never said skins are going to be free. Heroes and maps will be though.

Let's talk about an actual problem - the fact that there are four legendary skins, but they're actually just two with different color schemes. Anyone else a little disappointed by that? It makes it less special to actually get a legendary skin when you're just seeing the same two in a different color.

That's kind of what the OP was worrying about albeit in an autistic and inane way.

Free as in ready to play the minute the patch download finishes and you can jump in a try it out in quick play? Or free as in "only 2,000,000 credits!" that you have to grind out randomly through loot crates?
>>
>>339605975
People definitely put money into this kind of stuff. Why do you think free 2 play gimmicks like those in Overwatch are so huge that they even put them into 60 dollar games, not just on occasion, but all the fucking time?

It's because people can't stop themselves from spending a few bucks when the option is right there in front of them.

This is not gambling, this is straight up purchase of a product. You're not gambling anything, you get a chance to roll on an imaginary wheel of fortune that will give you imaginary items that cannot be sold or traded. This is not the case with cases in CSGO and TF2, no pun intended.

OP is right, the heroes will be "free" when you use those credits from lootboxes, it's the only source of income they have. It's going to happen. Can't wait for the shitstorm then overcucks will say it's still free, but ugh-oh everyone spent their credits on buying a skin. Now you gotta grind another 40 hours for 3k credits

Zero.

I fucking love the game but why would I spend money to get something the game literally gives me anyway every two hours.

I could at least see how others would buy it if you could pay for the currency and then buy whatever cosmetic you want (wouldn't do it myself but I could see why others would). But for a chance to maybe get something good? No.

That said, currently Lv. 42 and have 935c. Gonna buy one of the legendary Meis or Valkyrie Mercy with the 1k and then after that I'll get the Transcendence Highlight and Round of Applause emote for Zeny.

The fact that they have real value. They have real value BECAUSE they can be sold or traded. Legendaries and skins and whatever are account locked.

I wish that there was a way to work towards unlocking skins besides hoping that it drops or that you can get enough coins from the boxes to buy them yourself.

Blizzard already conned me out of $40, at least give me easier access to this specific cobtent.

Anon, the fact that they only addressed "free heroes" and "free maps" after a shitton of outrage - and the last 10 years of what Blizzard has done - has me convinced that I simply should not believe what they say.

It's all luck. You only get credits as a random drop just like skins/sprays etc. You can get 50 gold, 100, 150 or 500 (with each being less of a chance). Also you get 20% of item worth if you get a duplicate (so a 25 spray duplicat gives you 5 credits).

Duplicate items are "disenchanted" and give you credits that allow you to buy other items.

>Assumptions :
>If you get 98% (~846 items) of all items, you will be able to buy the 2% left (~17 items).
I'm not sure if you can have double items in the same Loot Crate, let's assume we can. Edit : You CAN have duplicates in a single loot crate.

>Method :
>Basically, what we have here, is a box with 863 items inside. We pick randomly one item from the box, add it to our collection, and put it back to the box. We do this 4 times for each loot crate.

I don't know, it's one of the hardest games to get mad at.
You don't have K/D's or leaderboards, you can get a "play of the game" even if you're on the losing team and everything you do gives you XP and regular bonuses.
You have to use a special website to even find out your win/loss ratio.

i would be surprised if they didnt give the heroes away for really free. because they want people to chase a whole new set of skins in the paid crates after they unlocked them. still makes money from fucking idiots, keeps people happy otherwise
>>
>>339612057
If you like the game so much that you "grind" then you just play it and will unlock so many duplicate that it does not change anything.

You cant grind a game. You play it.

Heres my experience with crates

im level 35 and have bought 2 $20 dollar crate bundles so thats 85 crates

i have gotten ballerina widow,pirate torb,blackhardt, a gold coin stash thats worth 500 coins, rescue mei, and mechaqueen pharah making epics drop at 7% for me

coin wise i have gotten almost 3k total, i started getting a huge amount of dupes by my 50th crate and each crate opening usually gets me 10 to 20 coins worth of dupes,a good estimate would be 20 crates=400 to 600 coins depending on how lucky you are with coin drops and dupes
>>
I BOUGHT 50 CASES
I HAVE 11 LEGENDARIES FROM THE BOXES+LEVELING UP
ALL MY MAINS
I HAVE 1600 COINS

I dont even know what to buy with the coins,
>>
>>339605920
I got drunk and got 20 dollars worth,
>>
anyone else saving every coin they get from free boxes like a miser? No reason to buy any skin if you eventually get it.
>>
>>339608763
Level 30 and only one hideous Widow legendary with about 5 purples or less. But ive gotten about 20 duplicate sprays for 5C each. Fuck RNG

Yeah it's nice that they don't have any cheese strats in this ga-IT'S HIGH NOON, IT'S HIGH NOON, IT'S HIGH NOON.

You're an idiot to begin with.

Me.

I plan on saving all coins as possible, and when I am missing a few things I'll just buy everything I am pending.

Then I'll get even more credits for when new content arrives and buy shit that I want.

Oh I know all about the Calypso.

And there isn't any easy way to convey McRee's flashbang fan in text form. I just find any team consisting of two or three of a single hero doing well indicates something needs rebalancing.

>>339617984
He need to be in melee range to do this.

What if they make a Gundam Reinheardt like Pharah?

Lv52 here, and I got a Symmetra skin and like literally nothing for any hero I play.
I'm seriously about to buy 10 fucking boxes to get ANYTHING worthwhile.
>>
>>339613074
I'm sure they're releasing what they think is better, but they're not going to do better than Gurren Lagann and high-fantasy lion armor
>>
The new characters most likely won't cost credits. Blizzard knows they're gonna make a killing off loot boxes from new heroes already thanks to them coming with their own unlocks as is. They know there's no need to stir up the hive and upset the competitive community.

>>339608072
I'm not sure I could agree with that. One box that doesn't require a specific key or whatever they're doing these days seems better to me.
>>
>>339618097
Which is the effective range for several heros, meaning they have no way of dealing with McCree. Most levels also have enough bends and buildings where this isn't a problem for him to wait for a kill.
>>
>>339604767
i already have every skin/emote/pose and whatever else the fuck i actually WANT and i only have 70 hours played at level 82.

I dont know why anyone would buy loot boxes to be honest.
>>
>>339618591
Did this person even bother making anymore? Also why are the sound effects so trash but the concept so hot?
>>
>>339607220
Eh, I don't think they will. It would create a lot of bad blood and I think Blizzard is smart enough to understand how they can earn money off of this.

You don't sell heroes or maps because doing that will piss everyone off, especially if you said they were going to be free. By not pissing everyone off, more people will buy the game. The more people buy the game, the more whales there are to pay for cosmetic items, which is where the vast majority of your revenue would come from even if you did sell heroes and maps.

So, by staying true to their promise, they earn more money in the long run. It's all about whales when you have this kind of business model. If you don't know what I mean by whale, I'll explain.

In a game that has a cash shop like this one does, players are roughly divided into 3 categories. Category 1 never uses the cash shop, ever, for anything. Category 2 spends maybe 5-10 bucks on cash shop items over their entire playtime of the game. Category 3, or whales, spend a HUGE amount on cash shop items. Hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Almost all of the money you get from the cash shop comes from whales, and it really doesn't matter what exactly you sell in the cash shop. Whales don't buy because they want the things in the cash shop, they buy because it is an addiction for them to buy. So, selling heroes and maps just gives the game bad press, meaning less people play it, meaning less whales on the hook. Blizzard knows this, which is why they've said they're not going to sell heroes and maps. It makes them more money if they don't.

I don't understand why symmetra is in the game
>>
>>339620059
Symmetra works really well for first-point defense and final-point offense, but that's about it unless you think outside the box.
>>
>>339620059
Symmetra is god tier.

Can help the team do a surprise push from behind. Can destroy most low life and heavy characters with her gun.
>>
>>339606389
why the fuck don't we get credits from normal play? Even if it's cheap shit like 5 per win or something, it'd be better than painfully waiting to reach the next level just to wind up getting a bunch of useless voice clips and sprays you'll never use
>>
>>339605920

I got the legendary scuba suit for winston and then a pile of trash
probably won't do that again
>>
>>339620343
You do. It's called duplicates.
>>
>>339620604
No dupes when I keep piling on more and more new voice clips and sprays
I feel like I'm not going to get any dupes until level 60 or so
>>
>>339620975
Keep at it anon, I believe in you!
>>
>>339617556
Forces you to stay out of sight for 6 seconds, then McCree cancels it and gets 50% back. It's incredible even if you don't hit anybody.
>>
>>339621732
Mcree's ult seems a lot like Pharah's ult in that someone always murders them before they finish it
>>
>>339622289
Much less vulnerable than Pharah's.
>>
>>339622358
yeah but unlike Pharah's it doesn't start shitting out damage from the moment you activate it. If you get killed before you finish it doesn't do anything.
>>
>>339622289

Key to Pharah's ult is doing it while flanking and/or times when the enemy team is distracted. The faster you can take people out, the less chances you have of dying, also helps to have a Mercy on you.

I mean, it's really not that hard getting loot boxes.

If you pay for pure aesthetics in a game, that's on you.
>>
>>339622457
Yeah but if you dont get a shot off it only uses half ult meter, the trick is to be really far away and use it behind cover then creep in and blast'em, or hide behind a rein shield. I get play of the game everytime as mcree

At least farming coins and boxes is an objective. The game is literally nothing otherwise.

I finally have over 1,000C but I'm in the same boat. I don't want to buy a skin only to have a dupe in the next box
