FYI, “legacy” skins are only made available once, like Kerrigan Widow. This goes directly against what Blizzard said about the skin being made available again in 2019.
The in-game items for Overwatch, StarCraft II, and StarCraft: Remastered will also be available separately in 2019
“But Catflap, we’re only halfway through 2019,” I hear you say. Sure, but up until yesterday’s patch the skin was still in the game and not yet locked away as a legacy item. It’s now not even visible in the hero gallery.
At this point, Blizzard, I don’t care when in 2019 you make Demon Hunter available as promised, but you need to keep your promise.
Considering the number of recent posts in this regard, a blue post for clarification here would be appreciated.
Yeah, I thought I remember seeing it stated explicitly that it would be made available for purchase sometime in 2019. Not a lawyer, but I imagine something like that would qualify as false advertising.
It was, google the screen shot - I will say this to Blizzard: pissing off your customers this way is just bad for business. You know the importance of skins, you know a good skin is in demand and you locked it behind a $40 paywall and when people asked if it was going to be available later you clearly indicated “yes”. If this skin is not available in game and not tied to some stupidity like Diablo Immortal, many people will never trust you again. People are not going to go “oh herp derp silly me, next time I will buy the pass to get the skin”, no what will in fact happen is many will never buy a virtual pass to Blizz Con in remembrance of this stab in the face to your customers despite what skins you put in going forward. Now only the people with a hook in their mouths will continue to buy…
The ‘rage’ is because they’ve now hidden the skin and labeled it a Legacy skin, a category of content that never gets re-released. People are panicking and angry as they haven’t clarified whether this is a bug, intentional or whether they still plan to keep to the terms they set back when they first sold the 2018 virtual ticket.
While you’re absolutely right that 2019 isn’t over, that it’s now hidden sets a very negative precedent in a lot of people’s minds.
From my perspective: I’m not angry or upset that I can’t have it now. I’m upset and angry that it’s hidden and that may not change. If it was still visible on the hero gallery but unavailable, I’d just think to myself “oh well, it’s just not available yet”, and get over it.
For one example when in the animation of the Wrecking Ball loot boxes the cosmetic what dropped was an achievement spray. Yes i know thats much smaller than a $40 skin but still one month of Twitch Prime.
That sounds like a bug where the spray was mistakenly placed in the loot table. Still an issue, but I don’t think that qualifies as false advertisement.
