Hi Tom. One last important question.
People are saying that the events will be gone after and they will be completely replaced by new events (and to an extend, the previous skins will be locked forever), but I doubt that is correct. Can you say something about it? Or are we having a Summer Games 2018?
Forget Quick Play. Lucioball is one of the best “blow off steam” modes this game’s ever had. So glad they’re bringing it back!
I also had a bunch of fun playing Yeti Hunt. Lucioball and Yeti Hunt were so much fun. Im so hyped.
So I can get Blackwatch Moira ![:smiley:](https://d74zh8edaijub.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/smiley.png?v=5" ":smiley:")
I have an important question with this many cosmetic items in the loot box drop how can we even obtain any new legendaries
You are not meant to get everything. You get what you can and enjoy it, they are free.
I have almost every cosmetic as is, I learnt quickly that you never buy normal items and only buy event items in the last hour.
If they were any easier to get I and players even higher level than me would have nothing left to unlock.
Stop assuming you are entitled to all the free stuff, if everyone got everything nobody would care.
I wish legendaries were even rarer.
So did I, but that’s the deal with with events, it’s tough luck, and it’s limited time. I know that it’ll be limited time now too, but I’m still not thrilled about it.
I’m upset as I’d probably be dinged for spam with a post like that >.>
Lol, I am not entitled to getting everything.
But bloating the anniversary lootboxes with previous seasonal items means in practice that you won’t get a single new anniversary loot you grind for unless you get massively lucky.
It is not entitlement to expect to be getting current event items from current event lootboxes more than any previous seasonal things we’ve already collected, because it is the new shiny thing.
But bloating the boxes means getting one of the 8 new legendary skins out of the uh… hundreds of additional previous season legendary skins added to the lootbox inventory on top of normal legendary skins is going to be literally impossible. We have 2 years worth legendaries from every season, so getting any new legendary skin will be astronomically small, even if you’ve collected past skins because you can still get dupe skins.
Also lootboxes are certainly not completely free when they can be bought and especially when they offer one golden lootbox for 50 lootboxes bought for extra incentive. Time is not free either. Quoting the goblings on wow, “time is money friend”.
Like, if you thought getting a legendary skin and being disappointed that it was goth zarya skin was bad… wait till you get hundred more old legendary skins added to the inventory of potential skins you can get instead of the new anniversary legendary skins.
Okay, but what if they do it where you are forced to get at least one Anniversary item (like they have been doing for the events) and all the previous event items are just thrown into the normal pool in the meantime? Like you can get an anniversary item and you could get a normal spray, and a winter wonderland thing and a halloween thing.
Comp modes for days
another chance at top 500 ctf
With so many arcade games. it would be interesting to see how the queues hold up. I guess it’s also Blizzard’s way to see which games are more popular with analytics. 
I won’t be the last to admit if I won the lottery I would totally buy a ton of these boxes and get all the things. Except that preorder Widow skin. Or the league skins.
I am one of those people who doesn’t see these lootboxes as a huge problem.
I have a strong feeling this means the events won’t be returning though…
I hope not. I highly doubt it, but still, I hope not… I mean, Uprising and Retributions are a huge part of the game’s lore…
Yeah. I think if anything would stay it would be those events, but I know lots of people are tired of the same events… if they stick around they might be revamped, or something.
Personally I enjoy the events we have
I also love the events we have. As for people getting tired of the same events, well, they could certainly do the same thing they did for Uprising and turning into Archives… or how they did it for Winter Wonderland. First year it was Mei’s Snowball Offensive, but last year they added Yeti Hunt… so hopefully that next Winter Wonderland they bring those two back, and just add a new silly mode. I loved, loved, LOVED Yeti Hunt so much. I would be extremely sad if they just moved on to something else. Each year they should just add a new silly casual mode.
Have Summer Games turn into something just like… Summer Vacations. Have Lucioball, and then just add another more relaxing or fun mode… like for example, a racing mode, have Junkrat rip tires run around maps, having them pass through circles as checkpoints… aka GTAV. Or characters like Lucio who can be fast, or ulting Zens lol. Most of last year skins were themed around summer vacations like Grillmaster and the Widowmaker skin… so yeah. Or have silly olympic games like have Hanzos shoot targets around maps like archery… so many things they could do.
Halloween can keep Junkerstein’s mode and then have an official hide and seek mode and you need to hide from Reaper.
A new Winter Wonderland can bring back the Mei Snowball and Yeti Hunt and just have a new mode this year where you fight on maps but the floor is all frozen and characters slip… idk, something silly… but there is so much they can do for each event each year… no need to remove them.
Please give clarification whether or not all seasonal items are acquired from lootboxes or if event lootboxes will be for anniversary-only items and that old seasonal items are simply buyable with credits.
The aforementioned means new boxes would be so massively bloated with chances of getting old seasonal legendaries that there would be little to no point grinding for new anniversary skins, since the chances of landing a legendary skin for new event would be astronomically small.
I gave my thoughts on the lootbox system… I highly doubt that previous event items will overtake the anniversary ones.
Correct, not just the skins, but all seasonal event items from previous events will be available once Anniversary kicks off on May 22, 2018.
Thank you.
