6k coins into dance emotes. Blizzard should have put them into normal loot pool instead of the event, but if they do that now retroactively I'll be pissed.

Didn't get any of the skins I wanted the most. Hanzo in particular is very cool. Not that I've played him, but with his recent buff I might want to.

 

[KanameYuuki]

Event is coming to an end and all I've gotten so far is:

Hanzo Skin
Lucio Skin
Orisa dance emote
Junkrat dance emote
Winstown dance emote
Reaper dance emote

I haven't even got sprays that I, for once, actually wanted some of them, it just those golden icons over and over again, the worst part is that I had better luck on this event one than uprising, there all I got was Torb skins.

I'm glad I had like 4k coins before this event so I'll be able to buy D.Va's legendary skin and some dance emotes, its even more depressing that after playing non stop, all the coins I made is just 1.2k since grays and blues are worth nothing.

Cosmetics are really important to me, I'm a collector type of player and I just don't like PvP games at all but I love what Blizzard has created, if there is no fix of the loot issue then I guess I'll just sell my OW copy, Stormblood soon to be released and why would I play a game where I can't get any of their items, and just to make it clear, Me and a bunch of other people aren't asking to get everything every time, but have more fair chances, I'm just plain sick and tiredthat every single new item has been limited time ones.

 

[Maximo]

Don't think I have played less of Overwatch during any event then the Anniversary event even with the double exp weekend, just soured on the shitty drop rates and how flat the event felt.

 

[spindashing]

When does this event end? Midnight?

 

[KanameYuuki]

When does this event end? Midnight?

PSN events section mentions it ends on Tuesday 2pm GMT-5 buuuuuuuuuut try to buy / get everything you want by Monday.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

But i am not sure about 2nd buy. Soldier, Pharah or Lucio. Help me GAF!!!

Soldiers skin is the best there, but he is such a scrubby character. I DESPISE his no-skill ultimate. Lucios looks pretty good. Pharah's sucks. Hard.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Scrubby? Soldier is top tier. A good Soldier can wipe out half a team.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Scrubby? Soldier is top tier. A good Soldier can wipe out half a team.

When I say "scrubby", I mean he is too easy to use.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Soldier's ultimate is only scrubby against scrubby players.

Higher tier your positioning have to be top notch to get anything out of it. And also hope that their DVa don't make meka up.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

When I say "scrubby", I mean he is too easy to use.

So many characters have strong defenses to counter Soldier. It takes some good timing and positing to use him.

 

[Roubjon]

I gave up grinding and ended up purchasing Tracer and D.Va's legendaries, as well as the rest of the Dance Emotes I wanted.

What an awesome yet shitty event at the same time :/

 

[Einchy]

I finally got a skin and it's the Bastion one.

Oh well, maybe next year.

 

[xxx shiv xxx]

If I buy a pack of anniversary loot boxes on psn but can't open them til Tuesday or Wednesday will they still contain the anniversary items?

 

[Roubjon]

If I buy a pack of anniversary loot boxes on psn but can't open them til Tuesday or Wednesday will they still contain the anniversary items?

Yeah they will!

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

If I buy a pack of anniversary loot boxes in psn but can't open them til Tuesday or Wednesday will they still contain the anniversary items?

They should. When you go to your loot box it gives you the option to switch to regular loot boxes.

 

[karasu]

Wait this doesn't end at 12am does it!

 

[xxx shiv xxx]

Cool, thanks guys.

 

[GraveRobberX]

They should come out and say all these Anniversary things are here to stay

Just add them into the fucking Loot pool

So fucking frustrated, I mean even with double xp, the boxes drop didn't change at all, I think they % got worse cause come on, no way these many dupes are coming this fast

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

I think Soldiers ultimate is too powerful. Its not hard to get caught out in the open, even at significant range. I hate the way it auto-kills.

 

[BigEmil]

After grinding from day 1 of event endlessly, I finally got my 2nd event skin and its a crappy Soldier skin, my 1st one is Bastion, RIP Lucio skin I wanted you but I can't have you with event ending tomorrow :'(

 

[karasu]

I have all but three of the skins and I'll probably just drop the 3000 for Lucio's.

 

[Whales]

thanks for bumping this, I just remembered to buy the Sentai skin now

Got pmuch everything I wanted except the cruiser... but not gonna drop 3k on that, especially considering id rather have the officer skin for dva..

 

[David___]

I have all but three of the skins and I'll probably just drop the 3000 for Lucio's.

I think I need 4 more. I have like 10k coins stockpiled so I can get 3 of them if I want. Only really want the Lucio skin though
When does it end tomorrow?

 

[Celcius]

Wait this doesn't end at 12am does it!

Doubt it, probably tomorrow once the weekly arcade rewards reset.

 

[PAULINK]

The cruiser has new voice lines though

 

[Whales]

The cruiser has new voice lines though

Yeah, it hurts.

Blame the lootboxes for giving me Soldier's skin 4 times in a row though :/

Yes please... Its a anniversary celebration you should let us all enjoy this

Not a anniversary celebration day for Blizzard HQ to dance in big money flowing to them via lootbox microtransaction money for limited time shit

 

[Whales]

I dont get why they just dont keep every skin buyable for 3k after every event

Yeah, remove them from the lootboxes, but at least let the people save up to get them.

It's really just scummy tbh

 

[thecosmicfly]

Oh man, I didn't know it was possible to get two dupes of the same item in the same loot box. Pretty apt that it was Zen's voice line "How disappointing." C'mon Blizzard.

Well, on the plus side I'm now at 6 anniversary skins. Most I've received from an event ever.

 

[EYEL1NER]

I feel the same way, with it being an "Anniversary" event and all. Celebrating a year that the game has been out and thanking people for the support for the first year, and it's just another timed exclusive event? If they had said "Thanks a bunch, here's a bunch of new content being added to the game for you to get" seems like a better and more special Anniversary celebration than yet another "Here's some new content that you better try to get quick or you'll forever be bummed and regret it."

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Got two separate 24 Loot Box sets throughout the week, and some individual ones thanks to this double XP event.

Somehow, I got Hanzo's event skin... twice? Three times? It's actually pretty frustrating.

I got a few dance emotes; main one was Mei.

Had enough creds for D.Va's Crusier skin, got Lucio, Bastion, and Zarya's as well.

I got enough for one more and I'm choosing between Genji, Mei, and Symmetra's.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

I only need 990 coins before I can buy the Genji skin. Unless I get really lucky with the loot boxes. (doubt it. )

 

[AlexFlame116]

Welp, I got all the skins now. Had to spend coins to get the last four. I have all but 5 or 6 of the dance emotes. I might be able to scrounge up enough coins for one more emote if I'm really lucky.

But for who? Sombra or Orisa?

 

[Psychoward]

cross posting from the OW OT

I'm still up to only one event skin, haven't even gotten 1.5k coins since the event started and haven't even had a purple drop this entire weekend. So that's nice.


trash

the only thing this double xp event did for me is reinforce that the current system is awful

 

[Sp3eD]

Got all the dances and skins I wanted in the boxes. Been a fun event and I have 16,000 credits for the next one.

 

[Gaspard]

Got most of what I wanted. All that's left is Sentai Genji, Cruiser D.Va, Mei Dance, and Pharah dance.

Progress since this:

Got my Pharah dance (yay!)

Also got Cyber Soldier, Graffiti Tracer, Jazzy Lucio, and a few cute dances. If anything i'll buy the rest if tomorrow's rolls go flat.

 

[Psychoward]

Got a purple, it was a dupe dance emote.

I give up

 

[MrPanic]

Grinded so many levels with this double xp event, but I definitely got a lot out of it. Got the skins of Bastion, DVa, Genji, Lucio, Pharah, Tracer and Zarya. Gonna use my credits to get Sym's skin and two more dances and have about 7000 left for the next event.

 

[TheOGB]

I went from barely touching this game during Year of the Rooster, to getting back into it during Uprising, to getting every event item for the Anniversary lmao

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Well, the skins I got from leveling up are:

Soldier: 76 (Unlocked with credits)
Tracer
Genji
Bastion
Lucio

I think I'm done with this event. This is also the first event where I didn't buy any loot boxes.

Sucks that I'm not gonna get D.Va and Zarya's skin but oh well. Officer D.Va is better.

 

[feel]

Spent credits on tracer skin, to round up my desired haul feom this event, won't be able to grind boxes tomorrow morning. Has been fun, bring on a darker menu background.

Got a purple, it was a dupe dance emote.

I give up

I thought there was a system in place specifically for Dance emotes to prevent duplicates, I got around 20 of them this event without repeats.

 

[Jaraghan]

Had to cave. Bought 50 boxes, but now I've got every item I wanted That Sombra dance is fantastic.

 

[Moonkid]

Bought Pharahs' skin and that's it. Got just over a 1k of coins which puts me in a comfortable position for the next event.

 

[Dekutulla]

got bedouin pharah, which, like, ok I guess. I already have mechaqueen so I'm probably never using it.

gonna buy the lucio skin and some of the good dances before the event ends, probably. pretty huge bummer coming off of my incredible luck during uprising, but it is what it is, I guess. I'm just glad I finally got something that wasn't a dupe during this xp weekend

 

[StaffyManasse]

I got a skin I will never want to use (Soldier), another on a character I hardly use (Genji) and used my last coins to buy the only thing I cared for (DVa).

 

[Berserking Guts]

If this event has taught me anything, it's that I won't ever spend a dime on blizzards loot boxes ever again. The whole thing just left a bad taste in my mouth that none of the other events have. I'm glad I didn't drop any money on this event cuz I have a feeling they lowered the drop rate considerably this time.

 

[Cnoodles]

Sorry for all the bad luck you guys are having. I have only played for 2 days for this event and only opened 18 boxes and have already got soldiers, zarya, and lucio, with genji dancing emote.

 

[TheSaddestSort]

Only anniversary skin I've gotten so far is Hanzo's ... who I never play. So it goes I guess.

 

[Mendrox]

Did 51 level ups in the past few days, also bought 48 lootboxes (2x 20€) and got:

Skins:

Lucio
Zarya
Soldier
Mei
Symmetra

Dance Emotes:

Dva
Genji
Ana
Widowmaker

Now I have only 4500 coins and I need my Dva legendary skin, but I also want Hanzo or Genjis ;_;

 

[hesido]

I just cant....

And yes, I already had the skin.

Wow, the least they could do would be to avoid duplicates within a box.
