They cut things out of Overwatch, for example rank visibility in the games, earning skins, on fire, and many other things, and now they are slowly giving back what we initially had and calling it a “game improvement.” Okay then, I am happy that we are moving towards 2016…
You can’t do this, it’s ridiculous. You are not improving the game by bringing back absolutely essential things that we had for many years. Please work on real improvements, like the matchmaking. But no, instead of actually fixing it, every week you will make an official post about how the matchmaking is great and how things are balanced and perfect. Stop it. You may fool some forum cockroaches who will adapt to anything, but you ain’t fooling the majority. Instead of saying that it’s an improvement, you should say, “hey, we removed this, we were wrong, here take it back, next time we remove another sustenance, we will think carefully.”
Now, for special snowflakes who really have hard understanding of simple things, let me put this way. If you give me a candy, and then take it back, and then give it back to me, I will have 1 candy, not 2. Hope it’s clear for you. If you still don’t get it and you feel the urgent need to protect a multi-billion company from being criticized, then write your reply and I will honestly try to help you.
Now give me my next ban for not criticizing you, but for “guideline violations.” Cuz it’s always us, we are the problem, not you. You working so hard to give us back what we had 6 years ago, and we are a bad community and we can’t appreciate
Part of it I think is simply believing the systems wouldn’t be necessary.
For myself, I play Overwatch because I find it fun. I don’t need a progression system.
Yet, for some reason a slew of people all over the gaming industry apparently can’t fathom playing a game without getting rewards for it.
Personally, I think the BP each season is enough, but people want more and more. Even seeing some people call out for higher than 200 BP levels.
I agree that it could be a reasonable thing to think, but like removing the core part of the game (earning skins), is just pure greed. It’s not “maybe players don’t need it” for sure. It’s simply $_$
It depends. People play CS go and get 0 skins, like at all. Only spending dollars will get them something. But this was the initial establishment. For OW players, 6 years people got used to having rewards, so I understand their frustration when it was cut off.
I think people want a real battle pass. The OW one is a microtransaction bundle designed to look like a battle pass.
The issue is not with the devs, but with the ABK execs.
They are the ones forcing the devs to implement these horrible monetisation schemes and rush everything out. This is the reason many systems were removed with OW2 because they didn’t have the time and resources to ready them for the updated engine.
I really hope the next time I see a dev/streamer interview on t has nothing to do with matchmaking. I e already heard them talk about it for a total of like 4-5 hours. I get how it works please talk about something new.
It’s a “battle” pass. You need to battle for it, you need to be able to unlock it, or prepare to unlock it for the next season. It’s like a market standard for pretty much any other competitive game. But Overwatch one is a dollar pass.
If you buy a battle pass and then do nothing, do you get the items you supposedly paid for? No, you have to grind for them.
It just seems like you’re inventing your own definition of battle pass to suit your argument. Certainly doesn’t match any of the definitions I’ve heard before.
wut. I already said, it’s a market standard. I am not inventing it, I am referring to 99% other existing ones. You are the one who is refusing to agree with common sense.
The issue is(and I’m technically a part of the issue) people are buying the battle pass regardless. Frankly I’m okay paying $10 for the battle pass and find it worth it. But you won’t get them to change if people keep buying it.
