Wow, good frequency of blog posts

I wholeheartedly agree with you on this

Please severely nerf the amount of experience necessary for titles. The time it takes to get to max battle pass level is fine, but to essentially do it all over again with something like two million additional experience is insane. We paid for the content, I don’t want to slave away to actually get what I paid for. I want my titles.

Aren’t the titles part of the free battle pass?

Hero based progression system sounds cool.

I need to show off my unholy amount of Dva playtime.

[Slimeonian-1596]

The devs actually making good decisions?? Where did they go? Who were they replaced with?

[Webrock-11569]

Speaking of reverting stuff, can we have the rank badges back in player portrait during competitive matches? Ranked looks so bland without them and feels like you are playing just another QP.
Just see no reason for them not to be there apart from the fact it’s just one less incentive to play ranked in OW2

(Re)Introducing Credits and Hero Gallery Update
In Season 3, we’re bringing back Overwatch Credits, which had been previously shown as Legacy Credits and been unearnable in Overwatch 2. Now, all players can earn up to 1500 credits as free rewards and another 500 credits as premium rewards spread throughout Season 3 Battle Pass.

Hey look, it’s the thing I suggested (although I called them ‘Silver credits’).

Can’t help but feel this might been the original plan before some Activision executive decided to see how much they could get away with.

Guys am I reading this right?! Will we be able to use the OG Overwatch credits for new things other than base new hero items??!?!? No more Legsncy credits?! If so that’s awesome

Hero based progression system sounds cool.

I have a feeling that those OW2 hero silhouette icon that we mention earlier might be for these hero progression thing.

[PuffyPony-1639]

Glad they’re walking back some of the terrible changes made for OW2. Now remove heroes from the BP, and monetization would be pretty acceptable.

[Baja-11423]

My incessant desire to play all the heroes is finally going to pay off???

[kyung-21647]

not to sound like an absolute fan boy but these are good, quality changes

[KEKIsBack-1735]

I did it the other day. No phone number requirement. Fresh email. Go try it right now. They stealth removed the requirement for everyone at some point. I think they are desperate for players.

I did try it. That’s why I know you can’t do it. As soon as you try to log in, it wants a phone number.

Legacy credits being added to battle pass to allow purchase of older cosmetics? Called it. As did many other people. Was kind of an obvious solution.

How long ago did you try? I did it 3 days ago just fine. You should give it another try.

[MonkeyTime-11772]

Overall a step in the right direction.

We should be able to get more legendary skins per season. Make all the old ow1 stuff cheaper, or have more overwatch coins to be earned. There is no good reason for anyone to pay or excessively grind for 6+ year old cosmetics.

New stuff is fair, not old stuff

It seems that the OW Team begins to wake up from its eternal sleep…

Hero mastery rewards that’s something I asked for when ow2 was made free to play let’s go
