[The Last Wizard]

Am I really gonna subject myself to annoying as teammates again just for these items:,(

Yup-_-

 

[Snkfanatic]

Fuck Blizzard, fuck this whale hunting tactic and fuck you if you encourage this shit.

Nice tantrum.

 

[X-Frame]

Wait is the console update accompanied by an actual balance change/fix patch too?

 

[Kiro]

I'm at work. Do you get one free lootbox with this patch?

 

[Muzicfreq]

Wooooooow... Yay nothing but sprays

 

[spazimoose]

Not a big fan of what Activision Blizzard is doing with Overwatch, Destiny, or Call of Duty. The micro transaction future is a bleak one, but I guess it's not an outright apocalypse... yet. Everyone getting excited after all the complainants is pretty funny though.

So this is how gaming dies, with thunderous applause.

 

[matrixman92]

Reapers voice line for this is "Its in the refrigerator". Is that a reference to something? Reapers stuff overall is lame as hell

[Gipsy Danger]

So how many skins are in this update?

 

[Pixel Fist]

...but the people going "fuck you" for people who are gonna buy them is going too far. Way too toxic, come on now.

Unfortunately that's the gaming community way, hate on the people who are enjoying something they aren't.

No one is allowed to like things!

 

[TheCongressman1]

Everyone getting excited after all the complainants is pretty funny though.

People still like to get stuff. If I get something cool, that's nice, but I still won't like this system they have going. Definitely not going to start buying boxes now because of it.

 

[Wanderer5]

Well got the D.Va on bicycle player icon. Sure I take it. Too bad she didn't get a skin for it, but guess that one less skin to worry about lol.

Is it really only one summer item per box, or can you get more in a box?

 

[ThirtyFive]

What sport theme could she have?

High jump?

 

[Fix-It Felix. Jr.]

Lucioball is a lot of fun. Maybe I should try getting into Rocket League.

I'm at work. Do you get one free lootbox with this patch?

Yes. You also get an Olympics player icon.

 

[Courage]

You bought the packs didn't you

Bought 5 but those 2 came in the same one.

I just stare blankly as people support it. Confuses me greatly. I've been in a constant state of "seriously" since the first time an MMO added microtransactions alongside of monthly subscriptions and people still bought them

 

[Tenki]

What did Pharah got?

A victory pose, a voice line and a spray.

 

[LiK]

Bought 5 but those 2 came in the same one.

I have hope!

 

[Novel Mike]

Huh looks like the changed the amount of people on each row on the Hero Gallery, with Ana it was an even amount on each now the bottom row has 2 empty spots, 2 new heroes coming at the same time maybe?

Also just want to mention: It's really fucking stupid this stuff is for a limited time and there is no way to outright purchase them.

 

[Ricerocket]

Updating now, let's see what I get lol.

 

[Messi]

First box, silver silver blue silver.

Gg blizzard

 

[duckroll]

It's not clear from the announcement, but I have reason to believe that they'll be doing 3 weekly brawls for the Summer Games. Lucio, Tracer, and Zarya each have 2 legendary skins themed to a sport. A Tracer racing mode would be rad.

Here's the breakdown on the more instresting new content...

Legendary skins (two each), variants on a sport theme:
Lucio
Tracer
Zarya

Epic skin (one each), country related:
Dva
Genji
McCree
Mercy
Torb
Widowmaker

Emotes:
Lucio
Bastion
Symmetra

Heroic Intros:
Lucio
Tracer
Junkrat

Victory Poses (posing with medal):
Mei
Pharah
Reaper
Roadhog
Torb
Widowmaker
Winston
Zenyatta

Victory Pose (Golf):
Soldier 76

Ana and Hanzo have nothing.

Honestly it's in their best interest to release them after the event.

 

[mollipen]

This Zarya skin really is her best. Hair is such an improvement. Pretty damn glad I lucked out and got that one because frankly I wasn't a fan of her original look at all

I mean, I love this skin, but her original hair is still far and away the best.

What did Pharah got?

Screwed. And not in the nice Pharmercy way.

 

[jello44]

I'd love to get that Track and Field Tracer.

 

[matrixman92]

sucks that Reaper and several other characters basically got nothing

 

[Obliterator]

I mean, I love this skin, but her original hair is still far and away the best.

To each their own. I wasn't a fan of her entire look

 

[JCH!]

Any of you notice you can now see the premades i game? Ni e addition!

 

[The Last Wizard]

Screwed. And not in the nice Pharmercy way.

:O

Excuse me while I head back the artwork thread>

A racing mode would be fun with unlimited jumps. I guess Zarya could be hitting marks with her secondary shot.

 

[Cheat Code]

Got a legendary in my free box. It was 500 coins that I cant use to buy the new skins.

And Lucioball sucks.

Nice tantrum.

Always nice to see a whale in person. Didn't even have to go on a cruise.

 

[Satch]

i am DISGUSTED

i got 3 vanilla items (a green torb skin and 2 sprays) and soldier 76 golf pose

KEEP IT

 

[Char Aznable]

we rocket league now

Some of the stuff they added is legit cool. How they go about having you unlock them is bullshit, not paying penny for any of this content.

 

[Omega Kirby]

Lucioball best mode. Best char + best sport.


Though the skins can't be unlocked from boxes?

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

i am DISGUSTED

i got 3 vanilla items (a green torb skin and 2 sprays) and soldier 76 golf pose

KEEP IT

Way better than what I got. Calm down.

 

[matrixman92]

i got a player icon of the china flag

why game....why....

 

[Permanently A]

3 boxes in no new skins

I'm scared

 

[GusZamboni]

for a second i thought that all the sprays would be skins and got crazy about the table tennis Mei ... what a crap event

 

[Dimitri LH]

 

[matrixman92]

do a hard reset. Its been up for awhile now

 

[Sou Da]

i am DISGUSTED

i got 3 vanilla items (a green torb skin and 2 sprays) and soldier 76 golf pose

KEEP IT

Put the strike commander Morrison skin care on it, he's so happy.

 

[The Last Wizard]

2 blues and 2 whites

 

[BossRush]

Uggggghhh I want most of the skins

 

[Son Of D]

Okay in this update I've noticed the team tip now says "No healers" instead of "No Support Heroes".

Nice touch to stop people thinking that we don't need a Mercy/Ana/Lucio/Zenyatta because we have a Symmetra.

 

[Ricerocket]

bullcrap.

Got the usual 1 blue crate.

 

[deoee]

Level up Box got me this <3

 

[Hedge]

Roadhog in a speedo? I like this world we live in.

 

[Glass]

What does the ultimate do in Lucioball?

 

[Nori Chan]

DVA Korean Skin
Tracer Track Spray
Reaper Victory Pose
Soldier Spray

all new


yay

 

[Nokagi]

Got DVA's skin from the second box so least I won't go away empty handed!
