I really hope they do more limited time skins
They are just worlds better than the usually skins the game gets added.
Especially if the limited time skin has some special effects or sounds tied to the skin.
Personal opinion:
They where always worth the money (well as lobg as they stay limited time) otherwise i wouldnāt had to buy one of them during a bad financial phase of myself.
Still i managed to spend the money and get my rewards.
I canāt believe how many people are asking for limited things to be brought back on the account that itās not really limited (as itās a virtual item)
Blizzard knows they could bring it back. But then what is the point of having it limited? Like ever? Do you know how many limited items there are in other games?
I play Smite and I cannot count the amount of skins that I will never get in my lifetime because I didnāt buy it in time then, and I understand and couldnāt care less.
Like you said, itās a virtual item. You donāt need it and thereās no point in ever selling it as limited if they intend on bringing it back. Thatās called false advertising and itās not good for them at all.
That would be great, if they actually followed that text.
Like with the Sombra skin, The text said it would be available in loot boxes in 2019ā¦ Still hasnt happened, and people think its not going to.
Can you please quote me that text?
Because from what I remember it said: *The in-game items for Overwatch, StarCraft II, and StarCraft: Remastered will also be available separately in 2019āfurther details will be announced at a later date.* https://blizzcon.com/en-us/news/22484225
It says that it will be available but it doesnāt say how.
Certainly nothing about loot boxes.
Did you see something I did not?
If so, can you please link it?
I guess what I donāt understand is that if I come to a game late, I will expect that there will be things Iāve missed out on. I canāt think of a single game of this type where they donāt have event/time limited exclusives. Some come back, some donāt, and thatās just part and parcel for these kinds of games.
Iād rather see every hero have an allstar skin available every year (only in allstars though), itād be far better in the long run for Blizzard, since there would be more people buying skins, and those who want to get the skin that they potentially missed would still be able to.
Iād also like to see the pink mercy event happen again this year, since itās a charity thing.
I actually DONāT understand why the All-Stars skins didnāt become available again when All-Stars rolled back around (not that I really wanted Genji or Tracerās, I donāt play either of them and frankly I found Tracerās to be HIDEOUS, but Iām speaking from a logical perspective). The Blizzcon ones, sure, the Starcraft anniversary ones, sure, Breast Cancer Mercy, disappointing since charity and all, but again, sure.
But All-Stars, supposedly, takes place every year, why not let the skins be available when the event rolls around? Especially since you need OWL Tokens to buy them. Just doesnāt make a lot of sense to me. I mean you can buy regular OWL skins any time, after all. You can buy literally everything time-limited during Anniversary (Iām saving up for Swamp Monster Doomfist since I missed it last Halloween).
Itās just because the skins have the year in their name. Next time 2018 rolls around the 2018 skins will come back. Besides, the All Star events have proceeds donated to charity too.
