Okay after having played my first few matches of Overwatch 2, I’m already displeased with the challenge and battle pass system. Blizzard, what’s the point of BLOCKING challenges behind PvP only when the whole premise of OW2 is the fact its gonna be a PVE GAME in the future?
I totally understand custom games not counting for the battle pass challenges but to block it off in VS AI is just plain stupid. As someone who is waiting for the PvE, you need to give us something to work with like challenge progression in Versus AI. Heck, I don’t even mind if its restricted to medium or lethal difficulty. It should at the very least count. If I’m paying money for a battle pass, you shouldn’t gate people behind specific modes to have it level up.
So Blizzard, please allow BP challenge completion in VS AI. At least for the challenges that obviously aren’t specific to a certain mode (EG dealing damage, healing, saying hi etc)
I’m content with doing a PvP match or two with friends and maybe sometimes alone if I have enough willpower but yeah the toxicity will always appear somewhere which is why its better if we just have the ability to play with people against AI. So tired of game companies thinking its a good idea to lock progression behind PvP only when they have PvE options.
This can be an problem for people farming EXP on custom games. They already removed EXP from custom games for this reason. People opened lot of “EXP farm lobbies” to make match duration longer and receive lot of EXP.
It will not. Games like Lol and Paladins where you can progress battlepass by playing vs AI and they were doing just fine. If anything it helps players to finish harder challenges without having to throw in game.
You clearly didn’t read what I typed in. Custom Games not having XP or completion of any sort is fine. VS AI which is strictly humans vs AI in what would be otherwise regular matches SHOULD be counting.[quote=“FRNathan13-1826, post:5, topic:696278, full:true”]

We may get some other way to get experience points for the battle pass, for example in pve content, story mode or pve challenges. In addition, we also have the challenges, which give extra experience points.
The irony of this is honestly hilarious. Like “hey casual PvE players, we’re making this grand PvE experience for you! It’s not ready though but also we’re not letting you progress your battlepasses in the current PvE modes lol sorry not sorry!”
Paladins has this, I don’t see why OW2 doesn’t. I play AI games a lot, in paladins and OW. I will enjoy the BP system much more but I know they won’t do it. Just gotta wait for the PvE… if that ever comes… and hope they add challenges for that.
for example. “Say hello to a teammate” doesn’t work in AI. Like what?!
And it matters how? Its not like anything in the BP is pay to win. Its all purely cosmetic and if anything else, doing the challenges would be like going at the same pace as the PvP anyways, this gatekeeping is invalid.
I don’t play vs AI so I didn’t know this was a thing… but I’m pretty annoyed it is. I know a lot of people in OW1 would get bummed out in PvP but they were so happy to be able to have matches without the stress. It was a small population buta happy one
