Another ugly skin was released in “Season 37 Battle Pass | Gloomland Rovers”, and unlike last time I bought a Battle Pass (BP), in “Season 34 Battle Pass | Astride the Abyss” where in some classses the skin looked very good (Necromancer, Demon Hunter, Arcanist), this time, once again, all classes look bad with the themed BP skin!
While obviously the “whales” or the more hardcore, engaged, players do not care about the skins and buy the BP anyway to enhance the progress of their characters (my current Clan has lots of these), I think the skins for armor and weapon are supposed the be the main attraction of a BP. Since most of the latest skins are ugly or unimpressive or even cringe (“Little Bee” skins
), I do not buy the BP, simple as that! It does not also help in my country the regional prices are very expensive, so I feel like I have to care about what I spend on even when I can afford it, such as the BP.
Therefore, I suggest you to either slow down the pace you release new BP skins, or hire better skin designers and artists. And make all previous BP skins available to buy too.
I hope this skin was made by a KI or something not human, nobody can have such a bad taste. Its easy the worst skin i have seen so far at this game and i am sure nobody will wear it but the next 170 euro phantom market skin will sure look fantastic.
I think there’s a few that are worse. The one I refuse to wear is a red one, name unknown atm that makes my Demon Hunter look like an Earwig from the back.
And the one with a luminous green head poking out of his chest ranks a close second in terms of sheer hideousness. Highly reminiscent of the deformed infant Kuato in the Schwarzennegger movie ‘Total Recall’.
Hah, I actually bought that skin for BP, it is kinda cool to me, though the helmet looks bad, misfit, in some classes.
It is kinda weird move from Blizzard that their main and one goal is making money for not doing that.
You’re right about the helmet. I only use the ones that I can hide as I prefer a more ‘natural’ look as opposed to a ‘Tinman from The Wizard of Oz’ look.
And my bias about the green head poking out of my chest actually stems from comments made by a female member of my clan who declared it hideous. As I tend to trust women more than myself when it comes to fashion, I adopted her outlook on the skin so she wouldn’t be repulsed. It’s better to get along with the females in my clan as they tend to exert considerable influence.
I have to disagree, there were so many extremely ugly bp skins after the 1st anniversary, only red, demonic appearances for like half a year. spawn of destruction, howl of terror, ruptured soul, fresh meat, plague reaper (the huge back assets make it disgusting), and shardwarped, all look as ugly as they can be. At least for me.
The current one looks like a mix of the ornamented hallowed horns delux one and the last 2-3 bp cosmetics.
Oh yes, I tend to agree with you that most skins after year 1 are fUgly, and too sadly I missed all skins from that year (I played and finished main campaign with my Crusader, got bored after 2 months and uninstalled until over 1 year later). I particularly like some of them depending on the class the class, but I get disappointed more often than not with newer BP skins.
That Plague Reaper theme in particular was ruined by those corpses on the back of the character, so much, on that month, I only bought regular BP solely for my Barbarian and only because that half-skeleton attached to his back was “tolerable” to him… on Demon Hunter, my third character, it was almost as tolerable too but I refused to spend more to dress her.
