Heroes of the Storm 2.0

[Frozen Death Knight]

the fact that you don't have a problem with it doesn't negate the fact that there is a problem.

Don't throw around the word fact when it is not a fact. It is a matter of opinion. I don't think loot boxes are a problem, but I can understand some of the reasoning behind why some do.

[Endus]

yea i forgot shards. i only have 60 shards left out of my total 160 shards i got from the boxes. i wish we had the ability to buy the shards or something outside of the boxes.

Maybe even just a guarantee of X shards per box, so buying boxes guarantees a certain amount.

Oh piss off. "Shit sandwich, to me."

Is that better? Let's play more semantic games Endus. Its what you love to do. And yes, because I don't want it, it does make it shit. I'm sure Blizzard will pat you on the head for your obedient defense.

That's not "better". A "shit sandwich" is something NOBODY could want. Instead, this is a "ham and cheese sandwich", when you're vegan, or something. YOU might not want it, but that doesn't make it "shit", it just means you're not the intended customer.

[Frozen Death Knight]

uhm no. i own the sentinel lunara skin. the new dark sentinel lunara skin which is a white and orange color variation of the sentinel skin which is a PAID SKIN did not unlock for me and needs to be crafted or won in a lotterybox.(yep i'm gonna start calling them that.) because it doesn't fit with the warden skins at all in looks. also the ranger general sylvanas paid skin which has a new GHOSTLANDS general sylvanas skin did NOT unlock and also requires it to be crafted or won in a lotterybox.

You never paid for that skin tint in the first place. Your original purchase was 3 skin tints, not 4. At no point has there been any indication that you would get more than 3 tints for a skin in the old system. Also, are you seriously going to complain about a skin tint not unlocking that costs 100 shards? That is such a ridiculously small grind.

Are you seriously still doing this?

Lol alright endus.

I think 2.0 was underwhelming but not offensive or like "WTF"

I'd say 2.0 is flawed but the player response was just as bad. People hyped themselves up for the cinematic and while the quality was good, people presumed it was something and got excited at the thought and when it wasn't...dream shattered.

[McNeil]

I came back for this game and got to unlock a ton of boxes, to bad that I only got like a few new heroes though. Atleast one of them was Gul'dan. All these voice soundtracks seems like pointless filler.. what are you even supposed to do with them? I guess the new emoji's are a nice touch, no idea what to do with the banners though. Despite this supposedly huge update it doesn't attract me as much to play this game some more unless some friends feel like playing.

Voice lines are for when you taunt ingame. Banners are placed when you capture merc camps and objectives, and destroy forts and keeps.

This excuse makes no sense to me. Its not like people were inventing things to be hyped about. They literally repeatedly teased that image at the end with the claw marks for the next hero, when it wasn't involved in it whatsoever except the old character was in the trailer.

It'd be like them saying that all of Hanamura's trailer is a tease for a new hero, and then they announce like Mephisto and the same kind of trees are in his cinematic. Completely and totally unrelated to the actual character.

They kinda were. A lot of characters do clawmarks. Blizzard just like any trailer used one small part without any context.

No. False. Wrong. Whenever they've teased a character before, it was for the actual character, not a moment in the cinematic that they're revealed in.

So 2.0 seems to have really messed up Matchmaking. Apparently Abathur is counted as a Support when it makes teams, so the enemy team can end up with a healer....and yours ends up with Abby in place of a support. Regenerative Microbes can only do so much!

[badzerath]

So the gameplay is still shit they just revamped the progression system and need to bribe people to try it.


"2.0" sounds a lot like the original

Who was the enemy support? Aba is counted as a "half-support" for QM rules alongside Tassadar, Tyrande, and Medivh. Never mind the fact that Abathur and Medivh cannot possibly keep up with Tass or Tyrande, but shrug, quick match.

And still no surrender option

They are advertising the game, just like any other company would. Isn't that what a good free to play model should do by giving incentive for new players to try the game out?

Quick Match is a mess (that's why I stick to draft in HL) and until they create a more robust rule system where Heroes are matched against each other on their actual role rather than their set label (Support, Assassin, Warrior, and Specialist), you will be getting those strange matches. I would just recommend doing draft unless you are leveling Heroes specifically. Or just simply join a group, since that usually works when wanting to get team comps that are more standard.

Just logged in. I had...

- 5 Loot Boxes
- 30 Epic Boxes
- 3 Veteran Boxes

Got Lucio, Brightwing, a few skins, and 1695 shards. Cool!

Does anyone know if you get a price reduction on the mega bundles if you already own some of the heroes contained in them? Trying to get the maximum out of my 1100 gems.

This patch officially killed the game. They tried, and they failed. On to better things it is.

[Jtbrig7390]

So the problems I have with HOTS are still there.

1) Barely any XP if you lose.
2) No surrender option.
3) Balancing teams in QP is a joke.

Now it has Overwatch's shit leveling system. At lease I got (up to) 20 heroes for free I guess.

Huh? What's all the complaining about? So far seems like it's an improvement upon the previous progression system.

They put the Eternal Conflict menu music back into the game! Nice!

Why is that?
