They`ve got new progression system(ripped off from other games, cod in particular). You receive loot bags with only cosmetic items as devs announced.

But few months down the road they add items with damage modifications making it unbalanced game. In fact, generating more profit off of crates than the actual game.

Same happened with Cod Black ops 3 and AW. The supply drops are big deal there.

Thoughts?

I highly doubt that Blizzard would go full retard mode on Overwatch.

They're also mostly focusing (apparently) on making the game competition-play-friendly (we'll see if it's also going to be fun for casual players). If they implement any form of real pay-to-win elements later on it will drastically (and negatively) affect that competitive play scene and will inevitably split the players base between the "F2P" casuals and the "P2W" elites, essentially destroying online play over time. If anything they will follow the TF2 'model', just keep releasing cosmetics. Maybe eventually we'll see new actual weapons, or new functions or "powers" or "specials" for existing weapons, but they'd be available for everyone (doesn't mean that such changes over time would make the game any better, or fun, but at least it wouldn't be actual P2W per se).

If only there was like maybe, an existing thread on this game to ask this in. Then again you probably couldn't have the retarded title to post it under.

Or maybe they could talk about how stupid it is. They're just as free to express their disdain as you are to create a duplicate topic and spout baseless FUD.

It goes both ways.

I fully supported my evidence. Someone does not know how to read or the meaning of it. This thread correlates to a different topic not gameplay discussion. So, plz, dont even bother.

You didn't support jack. It's a game that's not released, has had a small number of closed or semi-open betas, and that's it.

You have no evidence. It's all speculation.

And if it's about the game, it goes in the thread dedicated to that game. This is a redundant topic.

All the talent they had went elsewhere a long time ago, which was made abundantly clear with the release of Diablo 3 and everything since.

Firstly, your prediction is conjecture and there is no evidence. Secondly, those kids or "little once" as you call them can at least construct a readable sentence.

COD games come out on a yearly basis and Activision tries to pimp every penny out of them before they reach a quick death. Overwatch has been in development (as Titan) for many years and has likely cost Blizzard a ridiculous amount of money to develop. I doubt they will prematurely kill their game for a few quick bucks since they don't have "Overwatch 18: Now With a Few New Maps" on the backburner. The only way I'd see them doing that is if the game flops, they can't fix it, and it doesn't make sense for them to keep working on it - then they may go P2W as a last resort.

more importantly, the company has had games out for years that they could have easily sold in game boost for and have yet to do so making this summation for an as yet not released game that much more retarded.

1)Not sure what was unclear in my first post?

2) Activision is in control of Blizzard finances.

3)There is no concrete evidence of Titan converting into overwatch. One was mmo another is fps. So, meanwhile u assume my evidence has no proof, while your statement is a fact. Does not work like that. No one knows how exactly Overwatch has been derived and developed. Plus, how it will kill the game if COD is making more on supply drops than the actual game. Did not read the 1 paragraph or what?

They haven't done it yet in HotS or Hearthstone. Despite how people feel about Hearthstone the only difference between free and pay is how quickly you obtain something - to me that's fine.

If you thought they weren't going to add cosmetic stuff or "levels" to the game though then you're just out of touch. It is nothing more than a logical addition to the game - not some sea change. People playing games these days absolutely crave that stuff. 'Progression' has been inextricably linked to 'fun' in the Age of Achievements (TM). If Blizzard didn't add it, despite how meaningless it is, it would almost certainly be derided as a missing "feature".

At this point, I'd just call this a troll topic and encourage everyone to stop feeding.

But it's fun when you can universally bash the idiot troll. I mean he states "no concrete evidence"; disregarding that the "former" team is almost the sole staffers of the "new" team, you also have them saying art and gameplay elements were used from titan into overwatch.

So please continue beating the troll.

Blizzard's track record lately has not been stellar, although D3 has gotten way better since release.
