Blizzard Entertainment took another preparatory step to launch the e -sports league Overwatch: She added hundreds of look for the characters to the game. The catch is that they do not fall out of the boxes – they are offered to purchase mainly for real money.
Especially for Virtual Merchendais on Overwatch League, developers launched a separate section in the main menu of the game. In total, 12 teams are participating in the league at the moment. The appearance of all groups added to all the heroes Overwatch – It turns out 312 skins.
Overwatch League skins are purchased for the “league tokens” – a separate new currency. To get the league tokens, you need to fork out for a certain amount: the prices vary from 365 rubles per 100 tokens to 7,399 rubles for 2,600 tokens. One skin costs 100 tokens – as mathematics prompts, all 312 new looks will have to spend more than 88,000 rubles. Blizzard warns that on the consoles the cost may differ.
Note that the developers offer to purchase Overwatch League skins as a sign of supporting their favorite team – some of the proceeds are transferred to the selected team. But graffiti and command badges are available to all users for free.
However, there are alternative ways to obtain tokens. 100 will be thrown to you just if you go to Overwatch Until February 9. Another 100 will be given for subscription to the newsletter Overwatch League (only the mail needs to indicate the one on which your Battle account is registered.Net). A certain number of tokens will be given for viewing direct broadcasts of the league on Twitch – before that you need to tie your Twitch and Battle profiles.Net.
By the way, about Twitch. Blizzard is not going to show Overwatch League matches there just like that. As reported by Sports Business Daily, Twitch I acquired exclusive rights to broadcast the league for at least $ 90 million. The contract will last two years and applies to all countries with the exception of China. Twitch will show all the matches held within the framework of Overwatch League, and its own site Activision Blizzard called MLG.TV – only half.
Officially Blizzard And Twitch They refused to comment on the deal. Analysts suggest that some other obligations could also include $ 90 million.
Together with the skins Overwatch League, another patch was also added. Among its main features are free victorious poses for bastion and sombras, shaved whiskey on the New Year’s guise of Handzo, a lot of corrections for gameplay for a fist of death and other changes.
The forms shown back in November Blizzard With the Blizzard Entertainment Card, have not yet appeared. Matches of the first stage of Overwatch League will begin on the night of January 10 to 11 at 03:00 in Moscow. The competition schedule is available as in Overwatch, and on the official website of the league. On Russian -language broadcasts Overwatch League Blizzard says nothing so far.

90 percent of them https://fivecascasino.co.uk/withdrawal/ are such bad taste that you can just go nuts. Of these "312" maximum 3-4 normal. The rest of some Chinese toys with toxic flowers.
The game is near the Blizard, the platform for payment by the nearbyzardovskaya, the league is organized by Blizard. Why Plizard suddenly should arrange charity and give all 100 % payment?
I’ll tell you even more, if you didn’t get into the top 500 for some season, then Achivka for it, you will not get an animated spray. Never. This "content" is closed to you. I’m silent about the skins for BlizzCon. You can forget about them too. And this is absolutely normal. Overvotch has not become less for you just from the fact that you did not get a skin from Boston Uprising. This is the same game.
Even if you throw the holidays, events remain in Overwatch. It’s stupid to just take and throw a huge free update at the same time or next to the event. Firstly, the information water is blurred: instead of two lumbers, one will turn out one. Secondly, the load on the production process increases-say, bugs will have to be caught simultaneously in several places. Thirdly, the stream of updates is better to keep stable and even, and not steep (albeit huge pieces). So users will have better a feeling of constant development of the game, so they will remain with the game for a longer period.
In general, there are plenty of reasons.
OW is updated, including on consoles, where additional time is required for certification. To release updates at different times on different platforms is harmful for several reasons. For example, you can ruin the relationship with Sony or Microsoft. Players are upset. It becomes more difficult to advertise updates: instead of one advertising campaign, you need to prepare different for different platforms, and in parallel it also be echoed that the advertised renewing is, say, on the pitch, but it will appear on consoles later.
Therefore, updates are better to produce at the same time on all three platforms. And this also adds the time necessary for the release of the addition. In Khots, they can scribble up the updates with a machine -gun burst, because it comes out only on one platform, and his own, dear, nearly, nearby. And in OW you have to dance along with two third parties – and if one of them, for example, refuses to release the new Christmas, because the certification department goes to rest, then the rest of the two platforms will also have to wait.
Hence the difference between the updates of the Hots and the Over.
These are only assumptions, of course, but in the nearby Zard in any case, not fools are sitting. If they decide to do it, and not otherwise, then they had a good reason for this. Even if I do not know this reason or do not understand.
In Batle, Donat has a good effect on the gameplay so much, but they just made retrokesters close, moreover, they give half the profit to the teams. There is a difference.
what kind of nonsense I read right now?
– What is the problem of ordinary players who want to come home and relax? You start a quick game and relax.
– In Overwatch they do not add anything? Seriously? And even I understand that in such a game as Overwatch it is very difficult to find a balance so that everyone would be in equal terms.
– Nobody plays for new heroes? Probably only Moyra comes across in every game and Oris in a bunch with Bastion.
-Well, what, and write about Lutboxes in Overwatch, which does not affect the gameplay, too
This is a "pleasant bonus" for team fans who want to support them financially. And 50% of the revenue goes just to the teams.
In what time? They immediately said that the map with the nearby skins will appear in early 2018, without specifying the exact day or even a month.
I understand that players do not like it for so long, but close-ups are just trying to sit on several chairs: on Blizzcon something to show and shove the update in the schedule between the two New Year’s events, and let their employees stay with their families on Christmas. From here it turns out such a large delay – too much happens after the November BlizzCon.
you are really dumb or bot? Once again, for you and the user from below, if the lootboxes do not affect the balance, but are only customization in the form of skins and all kinds of icons- I do not care. But if, as in Battlfron 2 lutboxes directly affect the balance, then for me it is not permissible and I will not buy this game.
You see the difference between the donate for gameplay elements and the Donat on alternative coloring? I see.
Dude, if you are offered to buy candy wrappers, then maybe you just won’t buy them? I don’t want to buy candy wrappers, I don’t care. I do not buy. Well, who does not take money from me. I, like everyone, play the same modes, with the same heroes, with the same set of abilities. Dude, this is a wound. This is a demand. Who wants to buy, he can buy. I am not losing anything from the fact that he bought it. I’m not losing anything because I didn’t buy it. Yes, I and you will not get anything if we buy the same. So we will not buy, since again we don’t miss anything. And someone if he believes that this will give him something, let him buy.
And now the juice. What if I want too, and they are paid. That is, they force me to spend, rob me? You bring it to this? And it turns out, without buying, I lose. And now. How you lose more when they are, but you didn’t buy. Or when they are not at all? In the second case, you even lose the opportunity. And so you are not so for free to give them to you, you were not even required to add them to the game. They were added because they were planned to be sold, but not at first they decided, they promised that they would add and made paid.
The game was, is and will be. The one promised to me, the one for which I paid. If you are not specifically afraid of the skins themselves, but the fact that it will be normal. Then yes, this will not just be, but already there is. But the bottom line is that there is nothing terrible in this.
What? No need to compare the overlair with buttfront 2. In the over, all these lootboxes are reduced only to one customization, which does not affect the gameplay in any way.
The game is still positioned as 12+, the advertising campaign was large, even on TV we had advertising, many adults are clearly known about this game. And trailers are made in the Pixar cartoons style, which will clearly promp the parents on just such a gift to their children.
Moreover, blizards pour so many updates into the game need extra money for improvement + they tear off a piece on other projects. For the same diablo 3 is alive and still swarming ..
Do not cry about the minuses for starters
-And I do not care whether there are lootboxes in the game, if they do not affect the balance, I like someone to spend money on skins-health.
– If you, who plays 1 game per day and then not everyone does not see new heroes, then this does not mean that no one plays for them
– I play quite often and I have never come across when one team has only beginners, and the other one Old players.
And I do not protect the game, I write obvious things that you do not see. Great 2010? Play games 2010 and there will be no problems.
