Re-Releasing Previous War Chest Augments and Emoticons for Purchase: A Suggestion

Thanks for the information, appreciate it.

Since the offers for the Skin Bundles seem to be permanent, so far, I’ll grab them when this thread makes it effect, hopefully. I’d rather not to get the Skin Bundles if I’ll never get the Augments that go along with them.

My cousin loves Tyrador Skins very much, but he isn’t feeling like giving me a hand with the thread, go figure.

I hope so. Obviously, I’m referring to them with their current -50% price reduction.

Since I’m not much into Streaming or StarCraft YouTubers, except Lowko, I cannot really tell if they’d take any interest on this thread. The closest the thread was to be related to any StarCraft Media Influencer, was to appear on Lowko’s recent video about the StarCraft 2 Forums. He didn’t checked the thread, but we were lucky enough to briefly appear there.

Maybe if he did another video about the StarCraft 2 Forums, or any other Content Creator for that case, there’s a chance to appear on a YouTube video or Twitch stream at some point. I don’t have high hopes for that happening though.

Hey TORMENT, thanks for your replies.

I wish could say something in return now, but sadly, I’m once more up to my ears in college work, so please, I hope you could wait until Tuesday or Monday night for me to reply. Thanks for understading.

Have a nice day.

Hey dude, I’m finally able to reply after a hard weekend and plenty of work.

I feel a little down for not having played the game earlier, so I could grab a few Terran War Chests. But thinking about it really well, I guess I’m kind of glad for not having done so, since I ended up stopping using my previous gaming nicknames. I decided to stay permanently with Dragunblader late-2019, and I really like my nickname. The problem is that I can no longer get the Augments I could if I played the game when I wasn’t Dragunblader yet, haha.

I’m currently just using the Covert Operative Ghost Skin, as it matches perfectly with the default models for Terran. If previous War Chest Augments were released, I’d get the Augments, Console, Announcers and Skins I already mentioned some comments above.

If Purifier and Primal Building Skins were to be released the way I mentioned some comments above, something extremely unlikely, I’d purchase their related Augments, Consoles, Announcers, and Skins, so I can play with all the three Races the way I want.

I cannot tell if the company checks the forums, either regularly or seldomly, but if they did, have in mind we have one of the most recent popular threads in the forums, something I did not expect when I created it, and I’m really glad it turned out like this, because it raises the chances of what it’s proposed here to be considered for a future Update. As always, I’m crossing my fingers.

And yes, what you mention is true, it’s an unpleasant reminder for all of us who couldn’t grab the contents for several important reasons. I’d dare to say it’s mostly filler content, just to point out the game had and has plenty of content, so people think it’s important.

I also hope what I type here and what others have to say here to be of help for others, or to encourage them to leave their opinion, without having fear of anything.

If I wasn’t the creator of this thread, and saw another one which is about the same suggestion, I’d participate, and I did, in a couple of them. Sadly, the threads didn’t get enough attention, or no one bothered to answer back. I don’t think it’s being selfish to ask for a feature or to leave a suggestion, it’s just that you’re participating, hopefully in a constructive and thoughtful way, and ask for opinions. There’s nothing wrong with that at all.

I wish the Augments were released in Bundles, as Skins are. Let’s say, purchasing a Bundle with all the Augments from BlizzCon War Chest 2017, and so. I don’t think they’d gift them to those who purchased the Skins, when they could profit from selling these Augment-Exclusive Bundles. I know many people already got the Augments they wanted, but I believe there’s a great number of players who couldn’t, and they would be the target costumers.

Also, I think Augments should be sold separately, so, if you purchased the one(s) you wanted, but later want to get the rest, you get a discount, the same way it happens when you purchase Skins individually. Will have to update the thread to add these suggestions, or replace what I wrote in the original thread.

Have a nice day.

İm ready for pay a price (blizzard balance i mean).

i had a selfish idea this time if let me buy a redeem code for war chest 4 protoss chest for same discount of war chest i will purchase it.

… still i have no idea to they are locked to sales all time but maybe same redeem code ways or actual war chest items opened to sales for short time i will not miss that chance or at least im trying don’t miss it.

if i earn i wanted cosmetics i will give a special thanks.

Hey TORMENT, thanks for replying once more.

How is that paying for something is related to the game’s balance? You mean if previous War Chest Augments were released for purchase as bundles and/or separately, that would be part of an Update addressing balance issues as its main point? Sorry, but I couldn’t get what you truly said there.

I wouldn’t go that far and say previous War Chest Augments were obtainable via redeem codes, but I do understand is an idea you had.

I know it’s a pity for many players that we’re unable to acquire previous War Chest Augments, and also many which weren’t part of them, but were obtainable by other means, for example, Skins tied to the purchase of a BlizzCon ticket, or those given during special ocassions, but the best we can do, is just to keep nurturing the thread, encouraging others to participate, to like the comments, and to pass the word.

It may not be instantly rewarding in the sense of having said Augments available for purchase in the short term, but rather as a dedicated effort to encourage people at the company to do something good about them.

Have a nice day.

Last weeks i check other forum issues something like that people mostly interests skins but one of blizzard support issues said.

Banners, decals and consoles exclusive to war chest

War chests are seasonal not always purchasable

but im confused again when read this time i was wondered about consoles isn’t opened to sales?

as i said i found only skin based forums from reddit and checked blizzard support issues but only one issue about other war chest stuff inculiding banners but not much focused it seems…

People doing last times since october 15 update blaming Protoss mostly and im don’t understand about blaming protoss they just stopped only making war chest
cosmetics and coop commanders .

Also İ saw World of Warcraft dreanor legion and battle for azeroth’s digital deluxe items sales separately for 15 euro/dollar each but in StarCraft 2 War chest related items (none consoles and skins) need war chest or a achivement

Example: Tal’darim decal and Seat of the Highlord banner says complete to unlock this achivement: Purchase Katowice War chest 2019

So no more War chests but still there are appear in collection right?

Most of digital deluxe items doesn’t separately sales but this WoW digital deluxe items can be sold separately but in StarCraft 2 all locked previous War chest items still locked and doesn’t open in sales after war chest ends.

İf this WoW digital deluxe items can be purchased separately then previous war chest items can be sold like each war chest 15 or 20 euro/dollar

Example: All war chest 1 items (non skins and consoles) can be purchased in a bundle and other items that during their seasons. This items can only purchased with bundle not separately like this way or similar ways.

Also people doesn’t interest any cosmetics? why they are stop reply or checking this forums today i expected more than 2 or 2.2 k views and 325 replies. İ know it was sad but true

İ think i was going far i guess missing pieces gives me a pain and sadness especially i saw from other peoples equipped.

İ wish me and other players that missed war chest or new players to get all previous war chest items that they are wanted ones.

İ really want this is happens and i want earn my wanted items.

Hey again TORMENT.

I guess the problem many posters of threads related to previous War Chest Augments deal with is that the vast majority of forum readers and participants simply do not care about it, and pretty much about any other topic irrelevant to Race Balance.

I do understand that Race Balance is a very important topic here, because it seems to greatly affect how all matches end, both casually and professionally, but, at to which point is that relevant to discuss about (and ranting about, let’s be honest) ceaselessly?

I’m not a long-time user of this forum, nor I have the experience of others in the game, but I think that, by just having a look at the forum’s topics, it is clearly evidenced that things have gotten way too much out of control. I don’t mind much people discussing about Race Balance, but they should always keep it civil, and thoughtfully and politely presenting suggestions, changes, and so on.

I also think many posters, participants, and readers should also allow themselves to have small breaks from it, allowing other types of thoughtful and civil threads to have some attention too. They’d realize there are some pretty interesting topics out there, which present good ideas, and that they’re not related to Race Balance.

I understand Race Balance is important, but shouldn’t other game-related topics also have some attention, so they can have a spotlight and hopefully end in a positive change from the people at the company too?

Also, have in mind not all people are very much concerned about Race Balance, as long as they’re having fun (casual players). These kind of players play the game with friends, family, or even strangers, and they’re just having a good time, and enjoy when new contents are released, since it refreshes the game for some time. Sadly, no new paid contents will be released.

Do not underestimate them in numbers, remember it was left clear there’s a great deal of them when the infamous news of October 15 were released. Just because they don’t participate in the forums, it doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

Anyway, just my two cents about that aspect.

And yes, War Chests are seasonal contents, and the Augments inside them, so far, are tied to them. However, have in mind that, eventually, Skins made it out for permanent sale, despite they were initially tied to their respective War Chests, and the same happened with some Consoles (Special Forces Console, Simulant Console, Forged Console, Tyrador Console, Cerberus Console, and Ihan-rii Console).

That’s why I think it’d be the logical choice to now release previous War Chest Augments for permanent sale, as it happened with Skins and Consoles, so that many players can finally complete their collections or get the Augments they always wanted.

A few details about what’s been mentioned above: I mentioned that some Consoles were only released for purchase, and that were initially tied to their respective War Chests, but it seems, at some point, Consoles for the Purifiers, Primal, and Mira’s Marauders were added for purchase, despite they weren’t released when the Skins of the factions above were offered for purchase in their respective War Chests. I assume this was done because they don’t have Building Skins, and since the factions which have a related Console have got them, it may explain this, and maybe, I’m not sure, it wasn’t planned from the beginning that the Purifiers, Primal, and Mira’s Marauders were not getting Building Skins, since their Consoles were released separately.

Also, I noticed at the in-game store that some Sprays and Decals which belonged to some War Chests aren’t there, despite there are other Sprays and Decals from other War Chests which are, indeed, there, albeit unavailable.

I’m a little concerned that, if previous War Chest Augments were released for purchased independently and/or in bundles, only those shown at the in-game store are only made available, despite there are others which also were in War Chests, but aren’t shown in-game, as I mentioned before.

The Sprays missing from the Augments tab are those from the BlizzCon 2017 War Chest: Ghost Spray, Rattlesnake Spray, Black Ops Spray, Claws Spray, Overlord Spray, Abathur Spray, Nexus Spray, Corrupted Protoss Spray. Also, GLHF Zerg Spray (from the BlizzCon 2018 War Chest) is missing.

The missing Decals in the game’s Augments tab are those from BlizzCon 2017 War Chest: Ghost Decal, Claws Decal, and Corrupted Protoss Decal.

I strongly suggest the people at the company, if they’re releasing previous War Chest Augments for purchase in the future, please, to not forget about the missing Augments I mentioned. I think all players, at this point, without getting new contents (remember the sad news of October 15), should have access (after having paid, of course) to all previous War Chest Augments, and maybe even those which weren’t part of them, but were given at special ocassions (something possible, having in mind a few of them were later put at the in-game store, albeit not available to purchase them yet), for the reasons I listed back in earlier comments.

I will do my best to add the above information related to Sprays and Decals to the thread, as I consider it be to be extremely important, in mid-January, as my college vacations start since then.

I do understand, TORMENT, that the vast majority isn’t focused very much on previous War Chest Augments, since that doesn’t affect in the slightest the Race Balance topic, and also, because they are very dedicated fans of the game (which I celebrate), and made sure they didn’t miss those contents (again, good for them, but sadly, this couldn’t be the case for many other players).

If in World of WarCraft, previous cosmetics can be obtained individually for purchase, then, it may be also good for StarCraft 2 to receive the same treatment too, and I’d also encourage Augments to be sold in bundles, to save a little money. I already mentioned previous War Chest Augments should be offered separately and in bundles, so there’s more flexibility for us, the players, to purchase what we want, and what we don’t.

I’d suggest not to be extremely optimistic about this thread getting plenty of new Views and Likes in little time. I’m saying so because I constantly monitor the number of both new Views and Likes, and it’s a slow but constant growth. Do not worry, from my part, I’ll do my best to keep it alive, and I hope many of our friends here, as well as our real life friends and family (if they also play the game) will also contribute to it, either by commenting and/or liking it.

Don’t feel down, I understand it is sad to not have the Augments we wanted (and still want), and seeing others with them, despite it’s something good, and I, personally, feel good for them, it doesn’t help with our situation, and that of many other players, but hey, that’s why this thread is for, to try to make it real sometime in the future.

Cheer up! And have a great day everyone.

:grin:

TL;DR: I believe there are too many Race Balance discussions (and rants as well), and most of them have gone out of control. I also believe other types of threads, those not related to Race Balance specifically, should also get some attention. It was also evidenced after the October 15 news that there are many more people (casual players mostly) that are not interested on Race Balance, and, indeed, they do exist, and care about new contents, despite they don’t participate in the forums.

The company should add missing War Chest Augments to the game, so, if it’s planned to release for purchase previous War Chest Augments, they’re also included, since I’m afraid they may be overlooked for not being displayed in-game.

Finally, those who feel down for not having the Augments they wanted (and still want), I encourage them to just keep participating, or start doing so. Each View and Like will always be of great help.

Okay, so I came to notice that my last reply is a tad longer than my others, and that a TL;DR is needed, so people most likely will want to reply, or maybe just get the gist of each paragraph easier. However, this TL;DR will have to wait until tomorrow, since, as you can guess, I’m quite busy with college work.

By the way, the thread isn’t far from reaching 2.K Views, and that’s great, let’s hope it gets even more popular with time. I guess, as a kind of celebration, it will get pampered when my college vacations arrive.

Have all a nice day.

Update: TL;DR was added to the original comment.

Hey again TORMENT, as usual, it’s very good to see you replying.

I agree, the game would be a lot better for many players if previous War Chest Augments were released for purchase. It’s simple to do, since there’s no need to create new contents, but just to re-release already made material.

If you don’t feel like keep participating in the thread, I should encourage not to do so, since this is the only means to have a chance of getting previous War Chest Augments. I understand it’s very hard to be patient for something to change for good, but remember, good things always take time.

Each Comment, Like, and View is what drives it higher each day. Stay strong, and remember, without you, the thread would’ve been probably dead long before. I hope I can count with you, remember the thread is also yours, as is also for the rest of our friends who visit it and of those who participate.

I will do my best to keep the thread alive, and I encourage the people who already participated to be more active, so the thread grows higher and nourishes from the feedback.

I will also have an eye on any future Updates, and hope to discuss them here, if they’re related to what was presented on this thread.

Have a great day.

Dead without me? This forum dead or alive i sense they are doesn’t read our forum or check but even 2k views our forum still doesn’t appear popular/top page or im just wrong. İ guess creators forget consoles are also exclusive to war chests but remember they are opened to sales why other items still locked example War chest 4 has forged console tal’darim decal and seat of the highlord banner they released all previous war chest consoles not other twitch (except nerazim and dominon engineer consoles) consoles and 20th anniversary consoles. even latest war chest 6 consoles opened to sales. in support issues they are exclusive but also including consoles on their words they are mistaken on about console yet last patch and previous patches i was getting disappointed and im ready to payment.

Remember this too: On augments word in bellow it says: Equip portraits sprays and other items to personalize your identity.

in your mind maybe im not disappointed on next patch. Maybe opening all previous war chests to sales on near christmas. We will see (especially me if they are really opened to sales i will not miss it with all costs).

Hey brother, thanks for replying.

What I meant is that this thread (not the forums) is keeping alive thanks to your replies, and I really should thank you for that, since it gives it more Views, and, sometimes, a few Likes and Comments. However, I should encourage other of our friends to also be more active and participate with a Comment regularly, so we can reply, and make the number of Comments to rise.

Likes and Visits happen because of the constant participation of at least two users (in this case, me and you). I hope Leviathan and AntyCZ can help us with this. I should remind everyone that the more we participate here, the higher the chances for us to be noticed, and the suggestion to become a feature.

I know Consoles were tied to War Chest previously, but, at some point, they became available for independent purchase, which happened as well with Skins before that, if I’m not wrong. As I mentioned before, the logical thing to happen would be now, to offer that remaining contents of War Chests: Augments.

I know the game is not on its best state currently, but I think by doing something simple like releasing for purchase previous War Chest Augments, could make many players to try the game again, since it’d mean those players who want to enjoy the game visually to the fullest (read as having all matching Augments, Skins, Announcers, and Consoles), will play it, even competitively, since now they have got all what they wanted, but couldn’t get. I admit this is my personal case too.

By the way, I cannot understand why you are quoting the description for Augments. I’m not saying it in a mean way, I’m just curious about it.

I think it’s good to expect good news in future Patches, but, as I mentioned before, I’d advise not to be too expectant of amazing news in the short term. I’ts better just to be very patient, keep participating on the thread, and keep hoping. Maybe there’s something great for Christmas, don’t know what, but let’s hope it’s something related to previous War Chest Augments (and also those given on special ocassions, which could mean an added profit if offered).

Have a nice day all.
