Someone on here the other day called it payware, and that’s what it is. It’s not pay-to-play or pay-to-win, because OW2 and D4 aren’t fun to play, and there is no ending. You pay to work, then if you are interested enough to pay for cosmetics, you pay for those too. My wife and I are three levels from 100, and are dreading completing the last few levels. It feels like a part-time job, it’s miserable. We really enjoyed the last few seasons of D3. I don’t see myself continuing to play any Blizzard game after D4 season 1.
Man, same. I used a blood necro build for season 1 all the way to level 90 before realizing it wasn’t viable any more and had to switch to blood/shadow, only to see the patch for season 2 buffs op and blood builds. What a slap in the face. I’m not going to play the same build two seasons in a row now that it’s going to be a viable build. Some builds are just not viable for an entire season run, and it sucks. Greater rifts were much funner than nightmare dungeons. Leaderboards were fun for those that wanted to keep going after doing everything. D4 needs serious work. I’m done putting in my time while Blizzard sorts it out.
I played about 80 hours of OW1 and now I’m up to 140 hours in total since Ow2 came out. Couldn’t care less about cosmetics I just like to play a few matches of quick play when I’m having some beers. Still fun to me.
Glad you are enjoying it. I played several hundred hours in OW1, and I don’t find OW2 nearly as fun. There are other games I can play that I enjoy more. I do wish there was another game that I could play for 20-40 minutes to fill that late night short-gaming-session craving.
I gotta admit, I do prefer the old 6v6 of OW1 but OW2 is still fun IMO but I’m a filthy casual. Overwatch is my only FPS game, other than that I much prefer single player games. I’m also a bit salty that I bought into OW1 about a year before OW2 came out and now I don’t even have a choice between the two which really sucks.
If you guys are dreading it… why not just stop playing if you guys aren’t playing with anybody else?
If a game isn’t fun, I don’t see why people would go play the game and think “I should reach this part of the game” or “I have to complete this grind”. Like I played a shitload of GTAO solo and once I realized I was basically starting to get bored and grinding out money and rep was basically becoming a second job, I dropped the game completely and moved on. Nothing is worth wasting your time on something like that imo, not even getting that sick digital cosmetic nobody will care about nor reaching an arbitrary level that won’t mean shit once the next season rolls out.

I’ve played Diablo since d1 came out. D4 has some promise but the end game suuucks. I’m so done with Blizzard.

I disagree that OW2 is not fun to play. People playing only for skins or rewards have the wrong idea entirely.
I’m just mad that I bought OW1 and they forced me to OW2.
Agreed. I wish they would go back to 6v6. I can see why they wouldn’t want to have two separate queues. Queue times are long enough already.
Fair enough. out of curiosity, did you play much OW1?

Yeah, I had several hundred hours in it. I prefer 6v6, but OW2 still scratches a similar itch even if it’s not exactly the way I want to play.
