[Vulcano's assistant]

they should've given everyone BUT Zarya a Summer Games outfit.

Ayy

 

[benzopil]

sony and microsoft say ayy lmao

They don't. Blizzard didn't need testing on PTR and could send this update to Sony and Microsoft one week ago.

 

[Cels]

You get one free lootbox when you start the game.

and probably one summer lootbox every levelup for the duration of the event. but i am not 100% sure on that, i haven't leveled up since the patch hit

 

[bidguy]

can you earn those lootboxes ingame ?

 

[guybrushfreeman]

It says the loot boxes are going to be gone after the 22nd. They could just add the items to general release stuff and simply do away with the 1-Summer-Games-item-guaranteed Summer Games loot box.

Ah I understand, yes that might be possible. Thanks for pointing that out.

 

[LiK]

I adore the red Zarya skin. NEED

 

[Trickster]

They don't. Blizzard didn't need testing on PTR and could send this update to Sony and Microsoft one week ago.

Weren't they already selling lootboxes on the psn store? Someone was complaining about them being sold before they could be used in the game

 

[Tevos]

Those skins are pretty lame to be honest. Was expecting everyone to get at least one.

Aside from the 3 legendaries, the others seem like an extremely cheaply made reskin for filler.

Not even close to being worth the purchase imo.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Only loot box drops, only for a limited time? Lmao

Fire up Overwatch and dive in, because Summer Games is live today on PS4. We’ll see you in Rio!

So good! Can't wait to try this when I get home.

Every time you earn a Loot Box (regardless of the mode you’re playing) or purchase one during the event, you’ll receive at least one item from the Summer Games collection. These items cannot be purchased with credits, and they’re heading back into the vault on August 22. So, if you’ve got your eye on that high-diving Roadhog icon, there’s no time to lose.

Whelp...

All mah coins are worthless!

 

[J4g3r]

I... want it.

 

[cakely]

OH SHIT SON

NEW 3v3 BRAWL

Ok now I'm stoked.

 

[Plum]

.

God fucking dammit Blizzard. This is some proper bullshit right here.

 

[LiK]

If I don't get that Zarya skin, I'll be pissed. Might just buy a few boxes for the best Zarya skin.

 

[Fersis]

All lootboxes having olympic items kind of improves the situation.
Is the game mode live? Im at work lol ... and by lol i mean #babyrage

The zarya skin is soooo sick >_<

 

[Revolutionary]

Yay my free box was total garbage

 

[kuppy]

McCree American skin yo.
This update is sweet. Hope rng will be on my side.

 

[FantasyFreak07]

Oh sweet, the free loot box gave me Lucio's legendary soccer skin.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2016/08/02/overwatch-celebrate-summer-games-with-lucioball/

the ITEMS themselves are heading back into the vault on 8/22

so that puts a damper on your theory

 

[Diprosalic]

so they made something that looks exactly like but isn't rocket league during an event that's feels exactly like but isn't the Summer Olympics.

pretty cool.

 

[Plum]

Yay my free box was total garbage

Same. Lucio's voice line.

Looks like the items count in the Hero Gallery total as well.

Great work Blizzard. You've made your $40 shooter worse than a F2P game.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

are ALL of the new skins summer loot box exclusive? even the non legendaries?

 

[Sealtest]

Legendary out of my summer box, Ended up being an Ana skin. Wasn't the Horus skin I really want but i'm okay with that.

 

[| Praxis |]

What have you done to the music Blizzard? Terrible carnival drums badly layered over the top... Nasty

 

[QuantumSquid]

are ALL of the new skins summer loot box exclusive? even the non legendaries?

Seems that way.

 

[Odrion]

In my free summer games loot box I got a legendary.

It was for Steambot Bastion.

What the fuck? So you will also get non-summer games skins items in these too?

 

[Tovarisc]

are ALL of the new skins summer loot box exclusive? even the non legendaries?

Yeah, absolutely everything added in this patch is loot box exclusive.

 

[Zackat]

are ALL of the new skins summer loot box exclusive? even the non legendaries?

of course.

 

[guybrushfreeman]

If I don't get that Zarya skin, I'll be pissed. Might just buy a few boxes for the best Zarya skin.

You won't get it. Would you enjoy the money you spent even if you don't get what you want? No one should be buying these boxes with the hopes of getting a specific item.

 

[CountAntonius]

If you agree that it's shitty then why defend it?

Because it's cosmetic items and the larger amount of money this system makes means more funds going towards development. I may be used to it coming from games that have some form of this for years but cosmetics are a luxury and if it goes towards funding free updates I am okay with it.

 

[IvanJ]

What the fuck?

Each loot box has one summer item. Other three are regular items.

There's the quote. There's no doubt then.

pretty cool.

I mean the game looks exactly like but isn't TF2 so whatever right?

I really do not think these items should count for the hero gallery if they aren't permanently available. What a strange decision...

 

[Ragnorok64]

Zarya finally gets a good alt costume and it's a super long shot to actually get your hands on it.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Ps4 updating.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

own goals play of the game are going to be a thing

 

[crabhammer]

so do we only get summer lootboxes now for leveling? I wish I was closer to a prestige so I could get those first 20 fast levels again lol

 

[Cels]

More like it disproves it. Ah well, there goes hope.
