>most skins are just shitty recolors

why is this allowed in a 40$ game?
>>
Can you get Tracer's preorder skin from a box? It seems to be her only decent one.
>>
>>338138871
Sorry, not preorder I meant origins or whatever the fuck it's called.
>>
Hopefully they release more actual costumes for free down the line.

WHO FUCKING CARES IN A GODDAMN FPS

Individuality and self-expression makes people feel good.
Yes, even in an FPS.
>>
I would buy it if it came in a nice PC box.
>>
Im mainly upset that you cant really work towards unlocking a specific skin you like. You either have to hope it comes in a loot box or try to get a shitton of gold coins. Knowing blizz theres going to be an in game shop where you can pay real money for it.
>>
>>338138931
I think so. I saw people with Origin skins during the beta.
>>
>>338138871
>>338139518
You cannot, people who had the skin during the beta had it because they had already pre ordered the Origins edition
>>
>>338139572
Oh. Good thing I don't like any of the characters with origins skins.

you get coins somewhat fast, i got 1500 in 37 hours of playtime.
a single legendary coin drop is 500 coins.
also the more you play the more you will get duplicates and thus more coins.
only thing you can buy day 1 will be loot boxes.
>>338139482
it does.
>>
>>338138795
is $40 a lot of money or something?

Some of them look nice but I don't use those characters enough to justify gettings the Origins edition just yet, I can always upgrade my base game at a later date anyway if I change my mind though, i've just got the Noire Widowmaker skin since I pre ordered the game

Battleborn is a 60$ game and ALL skins are recolors

How much is it for that bundle, and where would one go to purchase it?

130 euros on my countrys amazon.
probably not worth it, statue is plastic and it's soldier 76 wich many people don't like, probably better off getting the cheap digital one.

People will be pushed to spend money, they say they don't care, but they do.

They will feel less for having the default skins, and just like in tf2 where medics heal first the player with the flashiest unusuals, Mercy will follow the better looking skin.

Keep telling yourself that cosmetics aren't game changing, that it doesn't matter if you look like the rest.

it doesn't matter because the game already has great cosmetics that can be unlocked by just playing.

Will I be able to get the Origins edition after the release date? I won't be able to get the game until early June, but still want those skins from the Origin Edition.
>>
>>338140626

Yeah, why would I lie about something like that? Just like kids in schools hang out with the "cool ones" just by the looks, why do you think Valve makes millions out of hats?

>why do you think Valve makes millions out of hats

Bronies with autismbux?
>>
>>338140780


Nope you are fucked. Also fucked out of the Noir Widowmaker pre order bonus too.
>>
uh
>>
>>338140780
yes you can buy the origin edition post release, the only thing you will miss out on is the noir widowmaker skin.
>>
>>338140684

If you don't care that's fine, I hope you have fun and have a good time, but not everyone thinks like you.

>>338140843

Most bronies are hatless f2p baddies.
>>
>>338140626

Mainly shitty medics. There is a shred of logic to it, though; players with more rare/expensive hats will USUALLY have a huge chunk of actual gameplay experience under their belt. Usually. Not always.
>>
>>338138871
Yes you can. The faggot who said that you can't is wrong.
Only skin that you will not be able to get after launch is Widowmaker's Noir skin.
>>
>>338138795
All of the skins are freely obtainable.
>>
>another "no fun without friends" online bullshit flavor of the month

fuck off
>>
>>338141141
No you can't. None of the Origins skins drop in boxes, you fucking moron.
>>
>>338139195
I think that's quite likely. It seems like their only microtransaction will be selling lootboxes to impatient people, so they'll keep releasing new content so that people have more things to buy lootboxes for.
>>
>>338141267
if by a flavor of the month you mean flavor of the next decade i agree with you.
>>
What are some ways to be a trolling shitbag in this?

>Blocking off the spawn/choke as Mei so your team can't progress
>Being a feminist mercy and telling all the Rein's to reroll as Zarya since you only heal female characters.
>>
>>338138795
Skins have more than one colour scheme and thats completely fine, you can also buy them for free pretty easily, I got two of the 'high tier' skins as drops in the beta and was able to afford two more after playing the came casually for about 3 days

Why get so butthurt about a side customization feature when the actual game is what matters

But you can buy the origins box after the launch, you god damn idiot.
>>
>>338139724
I think all of them have better skins freely available, so I'm good with saving $20. Widowmaker is probably the only one that looks any good to me (because it gets rid of that stupid unzipped outfit) and that's the one I'm getting.
>>
>>338141468
He's asking if you can get it from lootboxes, not after launch. Learn to fucking read, retard.
>>
>>338141141
>>338138871
>>338139572
I hadn't bought any version of the game during beta and I got Bastion's Origins skin. So either they changed it since then or you can get them.
>>
>>338141468
dude you qouted the wrong post.
>>338141376
you could place a symmetra teleporter in the middle of nowhere, but i guess theres fewer options to grief than in TF2.
>>
>>338141468
Original retard here, I didn't mean if I can get the origins shit after launch, I wanted to know if I could open it from one of the loot boxes or the only way to get the Slipstream skin was from buying the origins edition.

When did skins become so important to you guys?
Hat Fortress 2 ruined it all.
>>
>>338138795
Because even if Blizz shat out a Gone Home level of a "game" the fanboys would still buy and defend it.

It's pretty much a cult at this point.
>>
>>338144930
Oh so that's why people hate current WoW and release day Diablo 3?
and noone giving a fuck about Heroes of the storm.
and everyone knowing that Hearthstone is P2W.
i get it. cult following, gotcha.

I'm glad that costume has those dreadlocks, because they mean I give 0 fucks about never getting it. They fucking ruin an okay costume.

Dumb skins can be fun. It helps add more enjoyment to the game for those who like things like that.

Not everything needs to be functional to be fun
