Overwatch Team Discussing Possible Changes to Loot Boxes After Fan Outcry

Fans are not happy that there's no new permanent Overwatch content, nor are they happy about the cost of skins.

Dupes are what stopping me from buying loot boxes.

If the item you got a dupe of was coin equivalent of the actual item then I would be buying tons of boxes.

But the cash value just isn't right

The gambling is what stops me. I don't want to pay real money for a small chance at getting what I want, I'd rather pay money to get the exact item I want.

Mr_Writer852954d ago

Fair enough but if you get coins equal to the amount needed to buy the item you get a dupe of even if you get 2/3 bad boxes you'd be able to buy what you want.

Even if the boxes you bought had a different formula to those you get for free.

Say for example you have a 1/100 chance of getting skin A in a free box its boosted to a 25/100 in a paid box.

Your chances of dupes could be higher and lower as well, like higher chance with free lower with paid.

I think that would sway people to buy.

Its designed so that you dont get everything, like the other guy said its to make the skins more like an exotic, if we all had them they wouldnt be desirable. Like with destiny, once they gave everything away it takes away those YEESSS moments. also I dont feel they are forcing us to do anything, some people just think they are entitled to everything by puting in minimal effort. Buying loot boxes is one of the gaming sins in my book, these things wouldnt be as popular if people weren't being forced lol to buy them, the game plays the same if you have all the skins or none of the skins. Its not the developers that have the problems its the gamers that need a hanzo main skin to feel good about themselves. I just let my gameplay do the taking not the skins I own.

Some of the new skins you can't get with credits. That pisses me off a lot.

Is that the ones from previous events, yeah I think u should still be able to buy them too.

When Overwatch was good and fun, now who the hell cares. Blizzard is just shit and doesn't care about it's employees. OW2 just needs to go away.
