What are your thoughts to the changes coming up to the Mythic Shops, with the more mythic skins but no adjustments being made to Mythic Prisms? OW still not letting you make up all 1000 coins?

[@oskarox06]

i dont rly look forward to the season itself, news after news i lose hope of something postivie actually happening, like, ill say it, the ashe mythic is the third worst mythic in the game, the only saving grace of it is the weapon and effects, and the fact you just listed what they are planning to do to the mythic shop and do nothing about the battle pass, on top of the fact they put the worst skins of this season into the battlepass and let the best ones into the shop is even worse... i just dont rly wanna play this game cuz when its like 20 dollars for you, its 80 for me, i cant spend 80 bucks everytime a cool skin comes out

@@giuseppevaccaro7521 Going as far as to even defend the idea of monetizing it regardless makes you look like silly, it does not matter whether its a weapon "inspect" or they want to spin the narrative and say its an "Idle animation" these things shouldn't be monetized to begin with. No other game has ever gone this way to find new ways to steal money from your pockets without ever investing that money back into the game properly ever. Its a joke. Stop defending this garbage thing.

Sadly I don’t think they will improve the shop, battlepass or prisms anytime soon because it’s working, like this season day one almost every game I had with a mercy had the mythic skin even before that every game a minimum of 3 people own a shop or battlepass skin. First time I really noticed it was with the Lilith Moira bundle controversy that bundle was way overpriced and people complained about it yet almost every Moira I saw that season had it. They need to fix the monetization but it’s kinda tough to change if they are making bank the way it is. I almost grantee day one the first game i play of season 11 my tank will have the mythic hammer and my dps will have the Ashe mythic

[@lucresign]

The debate is about skins cosmetics which don’t really affect gameplay if anything you can still play without having them, what’s actually concerning is the lack of quality in the future which is already starting to appear once here and there every season and if it stays that way its only going to be more and more frequent to have like 80% recolors recycled bs also the scummy thing is promising alot and delivering basically none but then the budget has been drastically cut by promising not delivering to older ow1 players and welcome ow2 players that are unaware of the original promise but happy with a free game now they do need to make money ik but that’s just the worse moral way to do it without even showing gratitude to their original players from ow1 crazy how games come to be now a days instead of being a method to have fun it has become a scam deceiving money grab somehow ppl get convinced like if ow2 shutsdown all gone imagine that hope never the case but looks it might soon

[@justalex9101]

One of the devs I believed said that it’s not a weapon inspect but just a “flourish” But if you ask me for a community that’s been starved of a weapon inspect that’s been promised for YEARS having something like a flourish be paywalled is hilariously tone deaf imo This honestly would be fine if weapon skins were actually in the game but since this is the closest thing we have it just comes across as tone deaf and very greedy

[@IronMan-jj2fd]

Technically it's not exactly a weapon inspect it seems. Even if it was, u cn only inspect ur mythic weapon only. Meaning other weapons frm other rein skins won't have any inspects. It's exclusive to the mythic weapon. So it's not the traditional weapon inspect. They also said it works by spinning ur hammer, so it's not bound to a button on ur keyboard or something.

[@kellywilson137]

You will never get a Weapon Inspect because their diverse cast of characters multiplys the work needed to do it. If everyone is running around with a M4 rifle like CS:GO its easy. Diversity is working against them here, you gonna need unique animations for all characters and future characters. It's not impossible I've seen Gacha games do bespoke Animations for every character, its just expensive.

You could play classic Reaper or you could play a new sexy big titties reaper with weapon inspect and improved particle effects.[Purchase] What you gonna choose?

Don't get me wrong, the Rein Mythic weapon skin looks cool, but as soon as they released WEAPON skins entirely, I thought it was stupid. Because weapon skins already change... WITH ACTUAL SKINS. Yes, the mythic will have cool visual effects, but that still doesn't explain why it couldnt have been that way with a full mythic skin.

why not just put a lower prism price on it? like wtf? paying the same price for things that are completely different is dumb. Mythic weapon skins should at maximum cost 20 prism

[@sirdragonmoon7092]

They are probably going to give extra mythic coins in a future season to make it a big event and say they have added something new. They don't correct stuff on the season with the problem, they wait till later to make sure that the changes get pushed as a big moment for overwatch. Also all mythic skins have special effects on the weapons, so buying the rein one is basically paying for an unfinishe mythic

[@lucresign]

for what its worth that means you can get 2 mythics in one bp if you include the prisms which is alot for what you pay, and we all want that but its not good business so either they would’ve sacrificed the old mythics return and brought new mythic weapons as for the currency or just kept it the old way and forced us to buy prisms to get mythic weapons in second case is inconvenient and in first case not good business 🤷🏼‍♂️

Maybe I would rather a versatile weapon skin over the trash concept of mythic versions of the battle pass theme rather than mythic versions of the in lore characters, which is how original legendaries were. Turned my beloved sniper grandma into a robot and the robot into a bug. Bravo!

Everything you said is valid. I thought that because I’ve been collecting each mythic as they come, that I wouldn’t ever need to touch mythic prisms in the shop. I also like playing both characters and now I have to either make a choice to forgo one of them or shell out even more money. And the choice will feel crappy either way. And also is this going to be the norm going forward? Does this mean Rein won’t get a proper mythic skin any time soon? What does this say for other characters in the game that don’t get a lot of cosmetic love like Mercy does? Like Zarya or Brig? Will we be just getting their weapons before they get skins? I have so many questions and none of this feels good. This is a complete failure on Blizzard’s part.

[@oliverm6758]

The biggest problem with ow2 is hero locked cosmetics. Skins I understand, but what do you mean we have like 100 different versions of the “swagger” emote and they all have to be unlocked separately? I’m willing to bet why ow2’s battlepass is struggling is because not only do people have to decide if they like the content or not, they have to see if whatever content in there applies to the heroes they like. There is nothing for JQ, brig, ana, ram, or zen in this battlepass. The only skin that interests me is the reaper skin and even that’s ok. Combine with the fact that it’s worth it to save up credits for when good passes come through because you can’t make your credits back, and of course sales numbers will be down. Another thing overwatch doesn’t understand is giving people more credits like games like fortnite do. Giving players premium currency to spend outside of the battlepass introduces a large portion of the player base to the in game shop. Most people, once they make their first purchase are willing to spend more money.

[@mateuszkrytyk5711]

Brig had a skin in the last bp

[@tau-5794]

Fortnite's model would actually work pretty well for Overwatch's BP. Keep the 600 coins in the free track, then in the premium track have 400-600 more coins to pay for the full cost of a battlepass. Allows people to purchase the BP once and get every subsequent pass with consistent play, and free players to get the BP every other season.

You should really make back the gold you spend on thr battlepass.

@@AbbyOW2 well I will hope for the best like I did with ow2 😅 (and then I will start seeing the same signs I saw in overwatch 2 repeating in rivals and lose faith in the Genre😵)

This is SO bad but I also don’t give a shit about mythic weapon skins so I’m still only focused on the main skin so it doesn’t matter too much to me

its sad that he is like the only content creator that is legit upset about this :(

[@Xdxdxdmoneu]

Thank you for talking about Blizzard giving away paid skins for free. I bought that punk kiriko skin on Xbox and then they give the skin away free for Xbox players. I have bought a lot of skins and I am concerned lol

[@Xdxdxdmoneu]

WHAT KIND OF PAID SHOP IS THAT?????? IT WILL BE FREE LATER JUST SPEND 10-20 DOLLARS PLEASE

[@zerohcrows]

overwatch is obviously struggling financially based on their decisions and other things coming out about the game, comparing it to other games that have made stupid amounts of money is a bit disingenuous. Fortnite and Apex can do what they do because they had a lot of initial capital to be generous, they did not start off as generous though. Realistically what sucks is that OW1 was so stupidly generous and it was hard to make money. Now they're in a lose-lose position and OW2 was meant to set a better precedent. The skin prices are based off spending habits, they could sell things cheaper but only if they know the quantity of sales would offset the price reduction and then you have to compare that to the cost to make the cosmetic. Finding the right number is hard af but it isn't like they haven't tested lower prices.

[@mateuszkrytyk5711]

Nah these people have mental problems "YOU MADE A NEW THING THAT I WANT BUT IT COSTS MONEY YOU ARE BAD" honestly I don't fucking understand these people If you want it and you can afford it, buy it, if you can't, don't buy it Is overwatch community full of mentally ill people that cannot control their spendings and lust over pretty pixels ?

[@racmanov]

And you all expected things to change after bobby left. Whole company is roten along with incompetent devs. And afc they are moneatazing it. They are bleeding og players who would pay and are left with f2p players. Ow is dying again but now devs and execs cant blame bobby

[@KnyteMan]

These devs don't deserve to be employed. Hope they lose their jobs

[@raffyarceus99]

This season is gonna be so boring, not gonna buy the bp for sure

[@Cameron.ae08]

Trillion dollar company now btw. Weren't almost all expectations from the community that Blizzard would likely ease off the predatory practices after they were purchased? Something like: Now that they are not so key to "Blizzard", team 4 will not be pressured as badly b/c it is so different when owned by a trillion dollar company? And I don't want to hear about how they finally took out heroes from the battlepass after 2 years. That should have never been a f****** option. So happy Elden ring DLC drops the same day, I hope blizzard has the worst financial season to date. They suck ass.

[@AbbyOW2]

Its not gonna be the worst, they got the lifeguard skins ready for a certain crowd to pay and they also did a season which its themes are very popular over seas, if anything, I do think mirrorwatch underperformed in a lot of ways.

[@Cameron.ae08]

@@AbbyOW2 yea I don’t think it will be, I simply hope it is. They have been rewarded for awful practices and behavior for way too long, b/c people shill out so much money for them. It just sucks as a consumer in an absolutely ruined economy

Very masculine Abby

[@mateuszkrytyk5711]

You are all weird "Wee wee i see new things and i want 2 for the price of 1" DO YOU EVEN HEAR YOURSELF You now have more to choose from for the same price and it is still not enough DON'T WANT IT DON'T BUY IT You are now spending less If you do not want the colors you can pay less - You now have cureency - You can choose what you want and buy past mythics - You pay less for the mythics if you dont want colors AND IT IS STILL NOT ENOUGH ???

[@I_Dont_Believe_In_Salad]

If you know what "Milking" is you won't saying the nonsense you keep saying on this channel

[@metazeen]

I think ow2 gets alot of "doomer" hate but the shop is a shit show. As a ow1 enjoyer idk how I'm supposed to get excited about all these re colors (most of them are ugly too) and old skins being offered up for twitch drops. I look at games like R6 that are CONSTANTLY pumping out new cosmetics, OW step up your shit

[@BeyondAIR15]

Whales gonna whale.

[@giuseppevaccaro7521]

It's not a controversy, they are cosmetics with 0 impact in the gameplay, you want them? You pay, the gameplay will be the same. Also, that is NOT A WEAPON INSPECT, stop spreading misinformation on a topic you clearly do not understand

[@I_Dont_Believe_In_Salad]

I almost agree with you until the "the skin have zero impact in the gameplay" Yes, genius. People knows that, they just angry that Blizzard is milking them. Stupid.

[@giuseppevaccaro7521]

@@I_Dont_Believe_In_Salad milking them? How? Just don't buy them and go on playing, no one is forced to buy it and the game plays the same, also, most skin it could be argued gives you disadvantages while play because they can make you stand out more, like the jjonak zen skin that it's a wet dream for snipers.

[@MichaelJones-rz5sw]

TLDW; more bitching. It's not a hard choice skin or a weapon. At the end of the day, it s all COSMETIC.

[@fastlikeabearfitness5422]

Just uninstall and stop playing. They'll have to pivot to something other than making skins all day.

[@assassith]

If you pay money for anything in this game, you deserve to be scammed. You are literally paying for them to keep greedy and manipulative systems in the game, reinforcing these horrendous marketing ploys. Also, the "mythic tier" of the weapon skins is kind of really annoying because they hyped up the "new weapon skins" to be the alternative to the default ones that come with skins (so that you could equip it on a skin you didn't like the default weapons on). If I had known they were going to release a higher quality gun skins, I wouldn't have wasted my hard earned coins (that took my 8+ months to earn through challenges) on the garbage hard-light skin. They should at least update the existing skins to have kill animations too, like a clutter of blue pixels dispersing upon elim.
