Nullum Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 @JoeW A bit off-topic, would their be bundles of the other collections e.g Survivor, Triumphant, GoH, and rose skins you're all willing to put like the Forge Skins?

I hope so. I have had the worst luck with Elegants, and I'm on console so I can't just buy or trade skins. Selling sets officially or either selling a pack of say twenty random gifts would be optimal.

Money doesn't grow on trees. Some people might want to actually support the developers by purchasing cosmetics. Cosmetics don't change the flow of the game. It doesn't make anything imbalanced gameplay wise. They're just skins. More money = better resources to add updates/alternative features within the game = everyone is happy.

More money = better resources to add updates/alternative features within the game = everyone is happy. Except it usually doesn't work that way. I could go on for literal hours about "lootboxes", I would rather buy Shank, MotN, and ONI, a dozen times to support the devs. I am perfectly fine with them selling collections of skins. More power to them. But implementing a literal gambling feature? No way. My purchase history in Overwatch (and my immense hatred for it currently) is enough to show that this is a bad idea. Game Informer put out a fairly nice article about this concept and to quote/paraphrase, "Lootboxes turn a fantastic game into a mediocre one, almost instantly." Klei is one of my favorite studios because they are honest, hardworking, and won't pull a Bethesda to make a quick buck.

I agree, the gambling aspect is bad and it'd be best to implement purchasable collections. The whole loot box system would be a slippery slope to take.

JoeW Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 There is a decent chance things will explode the moment we flip the switch. So, I think it's more of a fingers crossed thing than anything else. What I could really use from all of our forum regulars is help managing all the new posters who come in asking questions and trying to get help with any issues that arise. Show them what our community is all about, be kind, polite and helpful. I am going to be opening a new forum section and taking notes of helpful users. I will hand out some item codes to helpful users once the official event starts. So if you see somebody asking a question that's already been answered, point them to the answer. If you see somebody being rude, or breaking the rules, don't respond, just report. Give us your bug reports and be clear and direct with your information so we can track it down and figure it out.
