Help me decide what is best

Hello

Help me make a decision pleeeasee :nerd_face: :point_up: Those who are against spending money in Overwatch, please abstain answering to this post. I have two options about purchasing coins/premium battle pass tomorrow:

  • Buying 50€ worth of Coins, because of the sale promotion will give worth 75€ of Coins, 5.000 + 2.500 extra. This promotion ends today! :disappointed_relieved:
  • Waint until tomorrow and spend the 50€ in the 40€ Premium Battle Pass, only if there is a skin attached in the bundle that I like. Because knowing Blizzard doesn’t let us buy individual skins from bundles, I’m scared they will release one that I end up loving and will have to pay 40€ later to get it lol

I’m bad at maths so I can’t figure out what is the most efficient way of spending this money.

The coins are a better deal, overall. That being said, if you are opposed to spending on the promotion and the Battle Pass separately, you realistically have no other option than to wait and see whether you enjoy the included skin or not, obviously.

Coins. Best to stock up on currency so you cna buy something that you absolutely must have and will enjoy for a long long while.

Also…as a F2P player how come I can’t reply honestly here?

I’d go with Ultra Battle Pass. Unfortunatelly Blizzard makes coins less valuable bc there are things you can’t buy with the coins, only real money, like this Ultra BP. So this is the reason to not invest into coins. You are probably not spend them on 2000/20$ skins anyway

Hahahha it’s ok! It’s not that serious :pleading_face: I’m just saying because I see lots of people simply hating other users for spending money on this game. I want to avoid answers like ā€œugh haha stupid you for wasting 50 € in a free game!ā€. But you didn’t do that!

The thing is, the bonus coins is worth 25€ euro. So,

  • I’m getting 25€ euros for free and spending extra 20€ later during the season only if there is a skin I like in the locked bundle. I have no idea the chances of that happening.

  • I’m getting 25€ for free and only spending 1000 coins/10€ in the BP alone.

  • I don’t get 7500 coins and spend 40€ in BP + locked skins (that I don’t know if I will like)

A complicated choice indeed :thinking: But now putting it like this it seems more obvious that the coins are the way to go. Ughhhh I don’t knoww.

25$ to spend in the shop is one skin, maybe two. In the UBP you will get three. Also you got 2000 coins to spend in the package AFAIR. That makes it UBP much better

I would go for the Coin bundle. I personally always found the ultimate BP kind of too expensive for what it is unless you really like the skin and play the hero alot and in most cases they’ll end up getting newer skins down the line.

Wait until it’s too late and buy nothing. :nerd_face:

I’d say the coins, because even if there’s nothing you want to buy with them right now, it’s inevitable that there will be something you want eventually. On the other hand, how many of the full premium battle passes actually contain more than one thing you want?
This is of course as subjective as anything gets, but for me, the premium passes are never worth it because there’s only ever at most one skin and one emote I want; I won’t get any use out of the rest. It’s not impossible for there to one day be a pass filled with things I want on ever tier, but that is yet to be the case. There have been more things I want simply put for direct sale on the shop than there have been in all of the premium passes combined.

Even if there was a skin in a pass I liked, I’d rather have the extra coins to buy two (or more) things in the shop, than get that one pass skin.

YMMV, but I think bonus coins will always be better value.

That is the annoying part. I used my freemium currency on M. Bison Sigma as it was literally the only item I cared about from that BP and then they are going to introduce Mythic Tokens which makes me feel stupid for making that decision.

It is just… Unfortunate. I actually really enjoy this current BP. It has quite a few skins I would genuinely use, but I do not have enough currency because I spent it on that garbagio Space Opera pass. :weary:

The silver lining is that if the Mythic sucks during the Egyptian or Cosmic horror season, I can still select this Onryo Hanzo instead. Hopefully… I have no idea when they are implementing this system.
