so much fun. i waited till last day of event, finally passively earned enough coin for kiriko skin from OW2 beta 2 and premium pass grinding. i go to the store. and she was gone. BEFORE THE EVENT WAS EVEN OVER.
yes, well i didn’t know how much the monetization was designed to prevent free players from buying it with coin they earn. i didn’t have enough before, and i will never spend a dime outside of battlepass.
no for sure, like i said i got it playing beta 2 as well as premium bp rewards. i did not have enough, even with watchpoint pack, till yesterday. but then kiriko was gone.
We are in the 6th week of OW2. A free player could only have earned as many as 360 Coins over the last 5.1 weeks. The skin costs 1900. I’m not following your math.
Also, Kiriko’s “Witch” skin was the first and only OW2 cosmetic to last longer than one week. I fully expected her bundle to disappear on Nov 1. The store rotates weekly, and they weren’t going to keep that bundle up for 6 days after the event ended.
there was a timer on the shop rotation and they kept kiriko going for two full shop rotations, so i cant see how this is their fault. also yeah, you’re not intended to earn the coins and pay for it, they wanted money.
in hindsight, watchpoint pack was a way better bargain than buying one overpriced skin. they actually expect people to buy hundreds of “watchpoint packs” over the course of this game. they must be smoking something.
i’m just waiting for the forums to erupt when they start selling their first $40.00 mythic shop skin. imagine equiping that in games, ppl are going to go crazy on you. how would you hide the fact that you’re wearing an entire game’s worth of $ that you 100% did not earn naturally?
And again, if you earned all 360 coins from the first 5.1 weeks of weeklies to add to your 2000 coins from the watchpoint pack, that still doesn’t hit the 2600 needed for the bundle, if that’s what you were aiming for.
