I was playing Quake Champions some time back and I discovered a neat feature called a “Lore Codex.”
Each character has a lore codex to themselves, and fragments of it are unlocked through lootboxes. Unlocking all fragments of the lore codex unlocks a special skin.
Ex: BJ Blazkowicz had 13 lore fragments (AFAIK) and unlocking all unlocked a “legend” skin which was him just being rambo.
How would that feel in OW?
That sounds pretty cool but I guess we wouldn’t have the lore events with comics and cinematics like d.va ana and recently baptise one.
The game may benefit from other type of cosmetics but getting the lore in lootboxes is just dumb or even collecting parts for skins for that matter.
What I was thinking, the lore codex establishes and fleshes out the character, what the character actually does to the story is still on the short stories and stuff.
You have 15K posts and a lot of time on OW, presumably, try to keep an open mind? Not being argumentative but why shoot it down so quick?
Why would you want that? Quake boxes are some of the most garbage ones. The only way to make them worse wold be p2w.
I still have 60 boxes from when the game turned f2p and I am too lazy to open them cuz all they give is trash.
It just has to be thrown in, not a total rehash of the QC lootbox! That is what I mean, just the lore codexes thrown into the mix!
I agree the QC lootboxes are crap. I play the game for the nostalgia from Q3A
There would have to be enough lore for each character for that to work, which makes it unlikely. It would be cool though, if you could unlock lore and eventually cosmetics by completing certain challenges (such as playing a match on every map, or getting 3 shot caller endorsements).
Oof don’t do em like that.
