Should I not play until the game is updated to get the most crates?

When have we ever been this active

>Open beta
>Cannot find link anywhere ingame or on website

>the amount of loot crates lost
>even hero specific crates with a guaranteed epic item
>not to mention the shards to directly buy skins

how about you find it in the fucking app that you use to start the game in the first place

Were you planning on getting heroes to 10? If not, I don't think there's a point to waiting.

>having to create a new thread in less than 4 hours
lmao ded gam

prime evil diablo is scary

no unlisted gold discounts

so what the fuck am i supposed to do with my gold if they remove the gold purchase for masterskins?
i already have all heroes.

>9999
to what end

>app
still the battle.net launcher for some. since there are people who probably haven't played in ages.

They're pretty blatantly telling you to just start a smurf to inflate their player numbers

Reroll your crates, 1500 per crate.

Friendly reminder that degeneracy pays off, pic related.
There are 2 sides of the loot crate arguments regarding "verteran" rewards.
If you went all out and got 500 hero level, this is a pathetic recompense.
Or since the scaling was changed and the max hero level isn't capped at 20 anymore, it doesn't matter past the point that new players are able to quickly accumulate loot boxes and POTENTIALLY gain more than your veteran player if there was a race going on.
In the end, none of this actually matters because it's cosmetics and Blizzard doesn't care about anyone's whining. Nearly everyone in here got boned but if you take a gay ass communist perspective on it, you should be happy you are getting crates in the first place.
I'm interested to see what other people's take is on this. You can talk about the other aspects in this patch and how it relates to the declining state of this shitty gaming industry but only your wallet and time dedication will change that.
The core gameplay of the game isn't changing. Whether or not that's for the better I can't tell. New heroes and maps will keep the game going for a while and this new bullshit Overwatch loot crate system will have everyone looking forward to the next shiny shiny.

>all this content
>prime evil diablo

ugh what a great use

So, Cassia and Genju, heh.

WHO THE FUCK IS THE THIRD!

Yes, I guess I'll have to request a full XP reset actually. At least any stimpak buyers are getting fucked in the ass by their double xp which is just hilarious.

Maiev

Id rather them not add all this garbage into the game
The fact blizzard is shitting on me for having well over half the cast level 9+ just makes it sting a bit more

Do you get to keep Cassia if you buy her with gems when she comes out to Live?

Squeaky gear gets the oil. I think on the Reddit QA tomorrow, that everyone should moan if you happen to have a reddit account

kael'tu zad

a kael skin ofc

Common
Every Player Level that does not award a
Rare or Epic Loot Chest
Rare
Every 5 Player Levels
Epic
Every 25 Player Levels
Hero-Specific
Every 10 Player Levels

Wait...

Ok, do I spend all my gold on heroes or master skins right now?

I'd say masters, but that's only if shit you already unlocked has a low chance of being in a chest

I hate you shallow disgusting cunts.
hots threads always last for days and now we full one every hour just because loot and shit is coming in? You never post here anymore and now you cane back only because they added new shit into the game? FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE, you are a fucking disgrace to all of the loyal gamers and posters here who stuck around through shitty heroes and one new skin per month for years
i hope you die from ass cancer you faggot FOTM fuckers who will leave here a week from now because you adhd riddled autists have a zero attention span.

>tfw losing 600 crates
I wouldn't.

...

Here's all the new skins in 2.0. (I think.)

You have to understand, that Silly Alarak's siren call is irresistible

>Femdiablo

>sylvanas one is just covered midriff
wtf?

>people post more when there's more to discuss, film at 11

>rerolling increase the chances to get good stuff
fucking grubby rerolled an epic skin for a legendayr skin

D.Va, Kel'Thuzad, Stukov or Mengsk

gloves, boots, and bow are different as well.

Chen's just adds a hat.

Current Legion model for Sylvanas.

how long will it take prime evil diablo sfm porn to happen

>that diablo
BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP

I'm fairly sure that shit already exists

but Diablo is a dude

don't be gay mang

Hopefully soon.

I want to see her PURIFIED.

any news on when they will fix probius fantasy of being a builder instead of a burst mage hero?

So when are they going to add Omnic Probius?

She's not currently a dude.

>can't unlock master skins with gold no more
Is gold absolutely useless now?

It matches what Metzen wants for Sylvanas because he's a fucking idiot.

Diablo as an entity is male.

His avatar's sex don't change though.

I'm chill. I've been arguing with reactionists online a lot.

I don't even know why. I'm excited.

Metzen doesn't work at Blizzard anymore, desu.

Anyone have pictures of all the mounts? (Preferably mechanical ones?)

So what happens to the faggots that spent $100+ on this game? Kek

Mounts are the same, at least mechanical.

Horses got a bunch of alternates (these are all the alternates + a brown horse like those but with a saddle).

There's a new beast mount, with spikes. That seems to be the only new mount so far.

>mfw over 6000 games played since closed beta, over 600 account level atm which means over 1200 after 2.0 drops and thousands of void bawxes
>mfw I have no face for this shit
Fucking jews.

I might as well buy all the heroes once I open all my boxes.

...

Legit always wanted Chen's hat. Gives me good vibes from the Pandaren cinematic trailer.

Why do leaves fall? It is in their nature.

Which face does she make when she sees your ?

Will I get shit retroactively.

Like am I going to get a shitton of chest and jewels on my old account once this shit hits live?

check you priviledge, nephalem

>Diablo as an entity is masculine

ftfy, he's a demon not a human with genitals so he cant be male.

>literally everything but femablo is shit

>tfw nephalem

I can tell you that you'll be losing one loot crate per total hero level above 70, a hero specific crate for your high level heroes and all of the crafting shards.

>Male voice
>Male body structure
>Male face (prior to possessing Leah)
>Refereed to as a "He"
>He's not a dude lmao

He doesn't, but the effects of his desires were still felt in WoW, and this new skin is supposed to be a reflection of her WoW look.

that's a monkey

Also all the gems except 1k for acc lvl 5. No gems per 25 levels retroactively.

What I don't fully understand is how color variations of skins/mounts will work in the new thing. Is it like overshit where they're all completely separate skins and stuff? You have to unlock them individually now? What this about master skins?

No genitals no dude, sorry tranny-lover.

Masculinity/Femininity are not traits particular to a gender.

Fucking blizzjews

Reminder to shave off 64 counts from your total hero level, because hero level 1 isn't worth shit.

That's a pity.

Yes.
They will give you all the tints of the heroes you already own, though, same with masters and mounts.

Okay, so my account level is currently 481 and I just did the math and I would get 76 loot chests (77 if I gain some more levels by the time 2.0 drops)

Question is, should I bitch and moan for those extra 7?

Fine no genitals.

Then he's not a girl either, ergo he can't be fucked whatsoever.

What now?

Yes you have to unlock every tint separately.
Master skins are the same (they even cost the same amoun of shards pet tint).

it's just a new skin to unlock in loot chests. her base skin is still the same with the belly.

>What I don't fully understand is how color variations of skins/mounts will work in the new thing. Is it like overshit where they're all completely separate skins and stuff? You have to unlock them individually now?
Yes to all of this.
>What this about master skins?
Any tints and master skins you have currently unlocked will automatically unlock all three variations on live.


People may continuously bitch about "lost boxes" but I'm honestly overjoyed at the option to get legendary skins without paying a cent.

WILL SOMEONE POST THE FEMDIABLO LEWDS ALREADY
GIMME THAT SHINY BUTTHOLE

I think it's about the same now that the exp requirements per level are lower.

This makes me want to quit playing, doing the daily quests isn't worth more than these rewards, is it?

>Butcher announcer literally only says "Fresh meat" over and over and chuckles

t.bronze

If I buy something in the 2.0 PTR will I keep it when the game goes live?

What do you mean extra 7? Don't you mean extra 300 common crates, 60 rares and a hero specific crate per every level 9 hero?

Nope

Not even with real money?

is the anub on the featured page (scroll down) not new?

Real money purchases are disabled on PTR.

tfw every game will be a costume party from now on

No they're not.

>Tauren totems
>F.tauren portait

Fuck's sake when are we getting an actual tauren hero? ETC is at best a mascot for the fanbase.

I forgot that they don't copy your live account to the PTR. I was ready to open a bunch of loot chest and be said when my good stuff was stuck on PTR ;_;

Announcer tier list:

Would use:
>Diablo
>Abathur
>Brightwing
>Gazlowe
>Muradin

Honorable mentions:
>Tassadar
>Zeratul
>Arthas
>Falstad
>ETC
>Illidan
>Li Li
>Rehgar
>Nazeebo

Would be good if actually had their original voice:
>Anub

wat:
Murky
Butcher
Stitches

Shit:
>Tychus
>Valla
>Sonya
>Malfurion
>Sgt. Hammer

rest are shit.

so redpill me on the 2.0 jewery.
how are we veterans getting fucked over now?

I was doing that based off the cash-in numbers here:
us.battle.net/heroes/en/heroes20/progression/#cashing-in

Instead of getting a chest for each hero level (1:1)

we have to go by pic related to get our chests
