This event sucks

That’s true, I’m never against new things or change either, but I see others using it as a reason to put down the base game. Which thinking about it, is probably just a minor pet peeve of mine when I hear someone say “X sucks cause they don’t have/do Y” etc. lol

I think it’s because there hasn’t been anything new for such a long time.
I remember when the new Archives event came out, I was set for quite some time.
But since there hasn’t been anything new…

I get the argument and I don’t think people are whiners or anything like that but at the other spectrum I think, “but I don’t want them to change the base game though”. I got it for what it is, a quick and easy team vs team hero game and no limits selection. I lost no-limits due to competitive added and the crowds asking to balance around it, so I tolerated it since. The previous wasn’t perfect but the new also came with its drawbacks. Not everyone is really satisfied since they’re forced to play certain characters or can’t play something taken and changes that came out of it etc.

Now people want different modes that few will play or campaigns in which most will spend 5-10 hours on to complete and then never touch again, which has happened so far. It’s the same thing with other games, like the current generation of players in fighting games I’ve played: ask for modes and more content but never play much and barely joining or engaging with the community when it comes to the actual base modes, and still the games fall off the radar relatively fast despite the content.

I wish people could just enjoy the base version without expecting a free game added on top of their dozens if not hundreds of hours of play. The incentive should be to play the game itself as it should be fun in itself. I get it if there are like small things that bother people like balance things at different levels. But it’s a whole other thing if people think this game could’ve been something else or wasn’t quite what they wanted. Why do they have to beseech developers to shape it into something else when others might enjoy it for what it is? There’s nothing wrong with looking for something else. Idk, I’m ranting here and have a bias view but its something at the back of my mind against these thoughts.

Additions keep the game fresh, which every major shooter has done to some point, adding to the base experience while not replacing the core gameplay (which may be tweaked around a bit though). Take a look at how Counter-Strike and TF2 turned out with the addition of new modes. Doing that keeps the player numbers up so those who enjoy various modes can have reasonable queue times.

Not all games are yearly dumps like CoD.

It’s like they want to ignore Roadhog, or something.
So many people wanted some sort of Summer skin for the Winter event, and nothing was given for him ):

Something to go beaching with Beachrat would have been perfect, though I do like the walrus skin.

A giant pig innertube.

[Chiana-21849]

Same event, new skins. The more times we do it, the less it feels like an event and more like a staple thing.

Much as I like Chinese culture and the new skins. I am bored xD

[Ghaghzull-1888]

CTF comp is just get a tank, a lucio and use Lucio’s speed boost to cap the flag. its really unbalance. Another fail event on Jeff part.

[LilApricot-1308]

Yeah, It’s disappointing.

[anon38228486]

Same. I like this event because I feel relaxed, there’s nothing I really crave.

So therefore… I can save my coins! Yay!

[Toga-11321]

Update: I’ve now gotten THREE non event legendary skins from loot boxes. After weeks of getting almost nothing but duplicates.

And have I gotten a single new event skin? Nnnnope.

Feels bad.

[Younguns-1619]

this game would be dead without cosmetics. its the only new thing that ever comes to the game

[LOLdragon-1334]

there’s nothing here that makes people stay and play the game

Pandering to China’s totalitarian regime will pay off in the long run. Same thing with omitting any mention of democracy in the game’s lore.

[Dio-1579]

I love how they changed the name of the post it was Can we tell jeff that this event sucks but it was shortened to this event sucks lol

[sourmoth-1880]

pve, pve, even if it’s old stuff we need pve, it’s not that hard Blizz.

[tiffac-11658]

Agreed!

Every event should have a PVE. Even rehash Junkentien can get you out of a rut. Especially, when your having an awful losing streak.

[sourmoth-1880]

I am already done with the new capture the flag thing after 1 day. But I’d be ready to put a week of playing into the archive event in Rialto or King’s Row if they suddenly re-activated that mode. They were so fun and a great break from normal gameplay

[WashableBomb-1130]

Opinion is implied.

there’s nothing here that makes people stay and play the game

[Neopets-11146]

Do you know what an opinion is?

[Aisling-1652]

Yeah I’m not going to grind this event tbh, most of the skins just aren’t very good. Not to mention I’ve been getting hosed for like the last 3 events, just terrible terrible drops, and when something did drop, non-event.

Not even worth logging in for the events that don’t have a decent pve event.

[ChivasUK-1987]

OP did more than me, I couldn’t even log on.

You think? I haven’t played Overwatch since Christmas Eve.

[Bui-1491]

That’s unlucky, I got 2 legendary from the first free box lol (3 or 4 skins so far)
