can anyone confirm to me if those 10 lootboxes from the origins edition upgrade offer are just normal lootboxes or for the event?

 

[Psychoward]

When you win a round every character that your team played is locked for the rest of the game.

Y tho

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

We dont really know how they will handle skins from events since we havent had a repeat event yet. We all assume that during the next haloween or xmas event that the old skins will be put into the loot boxes, but then again, we all assumed these anniversary skins wouldnt be timed exclusive either.

They have also talked a lot about making skins feel important. They dont want everyone running around in the same skins. So these skins might never be obtainable again, no one really knows at this point.

They've said previous event skins would be available again next year along with new skins.

 

[Baleoce]

I will officially be in a huff if I finish this event without that Lucio skin.

 

[Feichaw]

I need that D.Va skin.

 

[benicillin]

They've said previous event skins would be available again next year along with new skins.

I wonder if summer games will be back or if that was a one-off.

Or I have to wait until the next summer olympics.

 

[Ithil]

The free lootbox they give with the patch immediately gives me the Kamen Rider Genji skin. Excellent.

 

[Saucycarpdog]

Are there any rare skins for the rest of the characters?

 

[Darryl M R]

Yeah, sounds like he goes nuts on a trumpet when you're speedboosting and it's more clam and soothing for healing.

Happy to do it. Love this game so much.

Nope.

 

[TatteredHat]

Honestly, for an anniversary event I was expecting more free stuff.

 

[kareem01899]

Symmetra looks like she's auditioning to be an angel in Bayonetta 3! I need this skin!

 

[The Last Wizard]

Lucio's new skin have new jazz inspired healing/speed songs

They shouldn't have done this, as cool as it is it just makes it suck if you can't get the skin. Then buying them are too damn expensive when you barely get any coins from dupes.

 

[Gai Murakumo]

That Lucio skin is awesome.

 

[Incitemaybe]

New D.Va skin with her selfie highlight intro is anachronistic awesomeness 👾

 

[RiderKairuu]

That Genji skin is fucking amazing!

 

[Darryl M R]

Y tho

Sounds like a terrible move. I never ran into a team where their composition was so OP that me switching my own character didn't help my team.

 

[I-hate-u]

So you want them to not make cool skins because it'll make people who don't get them feel bad?

 

[A.J.]

In for Sentai Genji, Jetstream Hanzo, and Hare Hare Yuki Mei

 

[RandomExpletive]

O shit these are some sick skins

Goodbye week

 

[EmCeeGramr]

First two boxes were both three grays and a blue, and out of 8 items I got 3 dupes of old sprays.

This isn't the first skin to have some themed stuff with it.

 

[kulapik]

I wish we had some maps for 6v6 Arena.

Overall, happy with the update. I like Arena quite a bit, I wish there was a competitive ladder for it.

Server browser mah man

 

[Pilgrimzero]

What do the emote dances cost?

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

They didn't call it Summer Olympics so I assume it's an event every Summer.

 

[Obliterator]

Yeah I'm buying 50 boxes 100%

 

[killertofu]

Will they ever release a Mac version????

 

[PSqueak]

Soon the skins will turn the heroes into unrecognizable mess. I stared at Lucio skin for solid 20 seconds trying to figure out what hero it is.

At first i missed the picture of the Lucio Skin in the OP, but in the video it couldn't be clearer that it is Lucio, come on.

 

[Nocturnowl]

*opens first loot box, there's a purple but its a non event dupe*
*event item is a new Genji voice line*
"I am not impressed"

Indeed Genji, I am not.

lol, too perfect.

 

[AnkhWeasel]

I just beat a level 500-and-something in 1v1 (I'm like 240) and am here to say that I will never be as lucky as that again. Was a great game though, included a Widow-vs-Widow draw.

 

[Option-]

Welp, looks like I'm redownloading.

Only for the skins?

 

[CMojicaAce]

Fuck. If it wasn't for the Symmetra skin I'd waste all my coins on the dance emotes.

 

[KaYotiX]

Skins aren't that good.... Least for me and the chars I play as.

 

[Demoskinos]

Why are people complaining about no thematic or lore focus for these skins? Like, THAT IS THE POINT. The designers just got to do wacky fun skins with little to no restrictions.

 

[Doffen]

How often do these chests drop by playing?

 

[Wanderer5]

Well got Hanzo's skin, and I see the 3v3 is a bit different.

 

[imBask]

How often do these chests drop by playing?

Once per level, so every 20k (?) exp

 

[El_Chino]

No new Reaper skin? No new highlight intros?

 

[Pilgrimzero]

How often do these chests drop by playing?

Depends on how much you win/lose

 

[Clipse]

No highlight intros or victory poses this time?

 

[EndMerit]

Got Hanzo's skin on the free box, 3 boxes later got Genji's skin. So that's cool and all even though I don't play either hero.

 

[gwiz210]

That D.Va skin is everything.

What does lvl have to do with anything

I'm cackling!

As many as you get normal chest.

 

[Baleoce]

First two boxes were both three grays and a blue, and out of 8 items I got 3 dupes of old sprays.

That's been my track record for about 15-20 levels worth of boxes now.

 

[Wamb0wneD]

Fuck my life. I spent 20 bucks on every event but this looks more like 60...

 

[SDBurton]

And here I thought I wouldn't be throwing down money this time.

I will get that D.Va and Genji skin. Whatever it takes.

 

[Sai-kun]

lmfaoooo

what kind of dumb logic is this
