Give us daily free log in loot that don’t require challenges to complete like skins, voicelines, or coins. Though if you WERE to give a challenge for something like that then do a “Log in everyday for a week or month”.
If you want this game to be mobile phone quality garbage then at least give us some kind of positive thing that come from those kind of greedy gacha games.
As of now this game is a waste of time with no purpose in playing unless you waste money. Giving credits and free loot boxes gave us a reason to play every day. Take that away and what do you have? A soon to be dead game like Halo Infinite if you want something comparable. “HALO IS SAVED!” they said as it topped Steam charts. Just look at it now.
I guess they are testing the water with Season 1 (what is the minimum reward they can get away with and still get people $$$). Continue the criticisms and they might change it eventually.
I’d be open to legacy currency or overwatch coins being in the pass (in fact I’d prefer it over some of the junk but the amounts you’re suggesting are too much.
In Hearthstone (another Blizzard game) ‘gold’ (currency to buy card packs) is awarded in the free pass. Amounts start small and grow larger as you progress the pass (to reward players that play a lot).
…see this is where people are making suggestions that will never make it in to the game, the amounts you’re suggesting are never going to happen (so your suggestion will be ignored as it’s extremely unrealistic).
I like your idea of ‘every 20 tiers’ get some currency but you have to tone it wayyyyyy down:
Watch as they do change it because the quick play problems will soon revert back to what they were. Nobody wanting to join as tank or healer because there’s no currency incentive.
I think it shouldn’t reset every 9 weeks too (or with the new one).
9 weeks isn’t a lot of time to get to the end of it before the next one. I think, the 2nd battle pass should start at lvl 81 and go to 160 - so functions the same as 1 - 80, still need to purchase the next one, but you don’t miss out on rewards you’ve paid for, but haven’t had the time to grind out - this would help make it a better deal for players too.
Or, just never let a battle pass you’ve bought expire. So you can work on them at your own pace.
Unless they’ve fixed this already, last I read, they expire once the next one comes out, and it was set to 9 weeks.
Another idea: Get rid of all FOMO bs garbage. Let me complete the pass on my own time, it makes 0 sense to make anyone rush this stuff. Just let me do this when I want to do it. I’d be fully on board if they made this change alone.
Oh, and seasons should last 11-12 weeks. 9 is far too short.
Weren’t they originally saying that you could use Legacy Currency to buy the Battle Pass, only for us to find out that the amount of earnable coins won’t even equal a whole Premium Battle Pass by the time it expires?
I feel like it should be possible to earn enough coins to be able to purchase the Battle Pass. Will it take the whole season? Maybe. But that’s the point of grinding to earn everything. If you want to pay for the skins immediately, then you can if you want. But you shouldn’t be forced to pay for everything. Blizzard isn’t really hurting for money that much that they need to microtransaction us into the grave.
I don’t mind this but I would just like to be able to buy the skins on the new heros with currency but it won’t let me the unlock button is greyed out for each skin but the heros are all unlocked .
I think how the system should work is awarding the player 5 coins per completed match played. So they can unlock a cosmetic or if they want to speed up the process, they can buy coins.
300 coins is fair for a regular skin.
1,000 coin tiers are reasonable.
5,000 coins for a legendary.
If a player wants to buy coins for currency. I would say
300 coins for .25 cents.
It keeps the system SIMPLE and FAIR.
If rumor has it, and it is right. That the current system would require almost 12,000 dollars worth of purchases to unlock everything, and if that IS the case. I am sure someone’s parents would catch on, after awhile to see almost 12 grand siphoned off from their credit card account that their kid just spent THAT kind of money on cosmetics and would NOT put up with it. So this alone discourages people from spending money on Skins, at all.
With this proposed idea. It gives blizzard an Almost Guaranteed cash flow. And as always. They COULD put up the ever-wanted Lifeguard Mercy and actually ask 15 dollars for this skin, and people WOULD pay it. 100% guaranteed.
sure… i thought its a good thing to keep spending and giving blizzard money… i thought we were mooching off of blizzard for the past 3 years… they earned all this BP money!
Honestly, I think blizz just messed up here.
Thing is: you need a pass that will be loved by the F2P community. So one that earns itself back is best. If you want even more money? Launch the stupid super Elite bla bla battle pass tier where you just get some extra stuff the F2P can buy the coming months by using the extra currency earned.
This way only a few people would still complain.
To me however: I don’t care. I don’t play the game because of the battle pass. I don’t care about it’s pricing much.
And in all honestly? If ye ain’t got enough money for a season pass - you should spend your time differently then on a game.
