Yeah uh...no.Can we keep the loot box sutff out of this topic please? There are plenty of topics to discuss that in.
Yeah uh...no.
The economy for what amounts to 90% of the game is fair game. The economy is vile and predatory, it needs to be discussed.
And this is the main thread for the game itself. All on the table.
Season Passes directly give you what you pay for. Are much better.Excellent OT title. Been busy lately and kind of disappointed by the loot creates.
What's worse, loot crates or season passes?

Luckily for you someone did the leg work. More than likely 95% of the credits you earn will be from match complete. So expect a ton of people AFK farming.
I thought the same. Also the "dozens of us" gif haha. I couldn't care less about this loot box stuff if it gives us free maps/content as a resultEvery time I hear about a boycott in a video game I'm reminded of this image
I'm not saying don't go for it, but don't expect anything to come of it.

challenges are front-loaded do-once thingies that totally net 32,400.I would rather the place be about getting the truth of things, not recycling bullshit for days.
The '40 hours of gameplay to unlock a hero' thing is a BS number made up by someone who decided - for some reason - to ignore the credits earned through challenges and daily lootbox rewards. It's not indicative of what you'll actually experience in the game, and doesn't apply to every hero anyway - just the two most expensive ones.
I'm not saying this method of unlocking heroes is the best, or even good. I'm sure there's better ways to have solved it. What I'm saying is that we need to stop with the 'sky is falling' bullshit over intentionally misleading numbers.
These loot crates are a direct result of people complaining about season passes and "splintering the community".
Just means season passes shouldn't include maps.These loot crates are a direct result of people complaining about season passes and "splintering the community".

It makes it very difficult for people like us who want do what we want and discuss something besides the loot crates, when people are just coming in here to complain about them and drown the discussion rather than visit the other topics on that specific subject.
Thank you!
But what I am discussing is progression. Progression in this game is part of the game.
"How are you guys spending your credits? Saving for heroes, or buying Trooper packs?"
"How can I gain more credits per match?"
"What's your favorite perk for Assault so far?"
I feel like those questions should fit here.
The lootboxes and progression system ruin the game. That's relevant discussion for the OT.

It's not nonsense, though. There's nothing stopping DICE from tweaking the numbers to allow for more credits/challenges/crates. For all intents and purposes, the game isn't even officially out yet. I consider EA Early Access to be a demo whose progress can carry over into the final product.The underlined has been pointed out as nonsense over and over in this thread already. The math was already done on challenges, doing every single one gives you only half of whats needed for a hero, and to make it worse to do all challenges requires heroes that are locked already, so you still dont even get half needed till you've spent a ton of credits.
Daily crates is not going to make much difference
Daily/Weekly and Double XP/Credit events are common in today's games, you've mentioned. Factor that in and DICE's ability to move the slider on credits/challenges at will and the outrage over "40 hours" starts to feel a bit thin.I feel it worth noting that the DLC plans in the OP detail added "Weekend", "Daily", and "Faction" challenges coming to the game. Time will tell, but signs are there that we'll have more ways to gain extra credits besides just the regular slog.
That's a good point! I didn't think anything of it until you said that.Has there been any discussion as to why EA removed the ability to play as non-humans from the game? I need my aliens, darn it! I never played as a human character in the first bf and can't figure out why the option isn't there for the Rebels/Resistance.

What's more important if you ask me is to show the other drooling publishers that this shit doesn't fly.And your point being? The reason we are upset and making a fuss, is to force them to make changes.
I don't see the point of trying to downplay outrage when it is the outrage is whats needed to fix things. Yes they can fix it, but they will only do so if our voices are heard, if we just sit back and accept it, it just lets EA screw us over
With an OT title like this and lack of moderation, who is going to buy this game and feel welcome to discuss it here. Shouldn't the loot boxes discussion be in the other open threads?

Thanks to review copies having radically cheaper hero unlock values myself and others were under the impression that heroes would be cheaper on release and were inflated for EA Access to slow progress. Now that we know that is not true and that those prices are there for launch, that's the line for me. It's absolutely ridiculous that Vader and Luke among others would take ~40 hours to even play as in a fucking STAR WARS game.
Yeah, it's really a fucking shame.Love the OT title, SG-17. Hate that my hype for this title died this morning as soon as I fired up the old internet tubes.

I have a question..
If, say blizzard, did the exact same method EA/DICE is doing in terms of loot crates, would everyone still cry fowl or would they still give Overwatch the same praise they are getting today?
I wonder if the negativity that is happening now is because of everyone hatred/disklike of EA than the actual game. If that's the case, then this loot talk should be taken to another thread.
Sure, I suck in this game (even though I'm good at TF2) and will complain about the good players I face..but I'm still trying to get better and I have no issues with the loot crates.
If your seriously wondering if Blizzard would be given a pass on having pay to win elements in Overwatch you can look no further than the Diablo 3 real money auction house controversy for proof.I have a question..
