I can now get a bunch duplicates in this game just like in overwatch! finally! that's what I always wanted!

>>172438567
Why did they not make her a hybrid like Varian?
Ranged Assassin - Bowazon
Melee Assassin - Spearzon

So I should immediately stop trying to level my heroes, yes?

>>172438696
Novazon.

Plus fuck hybrids.

>>172438637
in about 2 weeks

end of april

>>172438637
Launch Event info supposedly launches in mid April, but then again it seems like the Update would roll in with Cassia which should be in a week or two by their default schedule.

>>172438784
I guess. Get them close to leveling and then stop playing them. Do we know which levels give you loot boxes?

sooo...Master skin are useless in 2.0


what stuff will really be rare besides Shop exclusives?

someone said they previewed new battleground? anyone got anything on it?

>>172438784
no, cause you will get more epic loot pass the 100 level account, so the more heroes you level up the more loot you are going to get

>>172438646
You can buy stuff with money still. I ain't stopping ya.

>>172438784
Eh. Feel free to level them if they are level 11 or higher. That's the cap. You could probably do 7, since all the numbers are lower.

>>172438846
Every level is a common box.
Level 10th character level is a Character Box
Every 20th level (or 25th, two sources are conflicting there) give epic boxes.

>>172438846
Apparently each and every level gives a box (like in Overwatch), but certain milestones like 20, 40 etc give you rare and epic lootboxes. But from what I understood, those are tied to your overall hero level and not the individual hero level.

Well with that 70 loot box limit they better fucking prioritize the character boxes.

>>172438854
The only items they said won't be obtainable by everyone are the event exclusive items.

btw you will still can buy heroes with gold

>>172439090
I'm inclined to believe that character boxes are awarded separately here.

>>172439053
The level advancement has been flatlined to eternity so it doesn't really change anything. Like Overwatch you'll just get boxes at a consistent rate.

>>172439040
Just root her.

I'm sure she will be undertuned. Especially with her range. I'll admit, Valkerie looks insane.

But she'll Valk in Guld, he'll survive, cast Horrify, walk away.

One of the people on the reddits who was at the summit said that boxes cap around 70 or something.

Cashing In

While new players will earn their first few Loot Chests quickly as they rise through the early levels, we haven’t forgotten about those of you who have been throwing down in the Nexus for a while.

Whether you’ve only played a handful of games, or you’re a die-hard veteran of the Nexus, you’re going to get free loot immediately upon logging in to Heroes of the Storm after patch day. Depending on your overall Account Level after installing the patch, we’re going to award you with a wealth of Loot Chests:

ACCOUNT LEVEL REWARDS
Completed at least 1 Heroes match 5 Common Loot Chests
Every 10 Account Levels +1 Common Loot Chest (35 Maximum)
Every 25 Account Levels +1 Rare Loot Chest (20 Maximum)
Every 100 Account Levels +1 Epic Loot Chest (10 Maximum)
Additionally, because we’ve reduced the amount of XP needed to progress through later levels, those of you who already have lots of high-level Heroes will now level up—and unlock corresponding rewards—far more frequently than before.

>>172439192
Plus the pillars in the graph were much smaller, so the overall amount of XP needed seems to have been drastically reduced. This kinda makes me wonder wether or not a level 8 hero will be 10 after the update and therefore give me a master skin.

>>172439193
You mean the only way to kill her is with the 5 heroes that have roots? Because 90% of the time abilities only slow, which doesn't remove her passive and when they do it's for 1.5 seconds at most which won't be enough to kill her. Even worse we aren't even considering the talents.

>>172438261
>D2 amazon
Meh, i understand that they want to add stuff from the older games, but why they wont add shit like mephisto, duriel etc etc. Where its stated that only old PLAYABLE characters should be avaible? Why not add stuff you were never able to play as before?
EXPLAIN

>>172439286
So you can potentially lose crates if you're ranked too high? Someone do the math, I'm scared to play now.

>implying

>With the arrival of the new progression system, we’ve also overhauled the rewards that you can earn by leveling up your individual Heroes. One of the most significant changes we’re making is that Skin Variations, Mount Variations, and Master Skins, are no longer unlockable through Hero Progression. Instead, they are now individual items that you can receive in Loot Chests or pick up in the Shop.

>>172439976
Free tints.

>70 lootbox cap for veteran players
So what happens with the lootboxes one of the video talked about that would have hero specific loot in them?
There are also 3 different qualities of lootboxes, I think I saw it being normal lootbox for 15? levels and epic lootbox for 25 levels so, what quality lootboxes will you get if you have progressed past the 70 lootbox cap?

Also what the fuck is happening with the current skin color variations you unlock by leveling heroes, or the master skins?

>>172440213
Yes, we know. But even if you haven't already reached the levels to unlock tints for skins/heroes /mounts you currently own, the game will give them to you anyway.

if you get them by unlocking heroes and leveling them then they will have to give them out for free to =palyers who are already leveled to prevent a MASSIVE a MASSSSSSSIVE account dump because 80% of players would just create a new account because of this

It said on the site this is taking effect next patch. So next week or what?

It seems you don't retroactively get Character Boxes.
Earlier in the thread someone explained how the retroactive boxes work.
For new boxes you get common every 1 level, rare every 5, character every 10, epic every 25.

If you already have a skin, you get all the tints for free.
Otherwise you have to buy tints individually.
Master skins are just common skins now.

>Daiblo 2

Ah, it doesn't seem that the star is new it's just the alternative colors now have names.

But that skin at the bottom is new.

>People are reportedly gonna be maxed out at (x) crates for their hard work of leveling up heroes.
>Blizzard "design philosophy" on loot crates is sketchy at best for a free to play model.
>All those hours of grinding exponential experience curves basically wasted with rng rewards.
>Only play Li Li since alpha, still have all those heroes to level up and grind for crates and get them at an easier rate then others.
It's such a little thing but it's another case of Blizzard fucking over avid players through what is essentially a timegated system to normalize things.
More options for the player is nice though. Before it was just real money for anything cosmetic.
Really the only important things about 2.0 is new heroes, a map, announcers, less grind to 10 and above, a new frontend to manage your autism collection, and cosmetics through rng with a possible bump in price for real money transactions... right?
That's still quite a bit but banners and shit can go fuck right off.

Apparently there are sales that everyone gets except Mexico.
Thanks a lot Trump.

>>172442043
There's already a 70 loot box cap you can get when the patch hits for old players. It's not a far leap of logic to assume you won't get any of the other rewards for your player levels either

You probably get the rewards that are at set levels but all the extra you get every 5/15/25 levels will be lost

No we are bitching because if you've been playing the game they are limiting to the amount of boxes you get for the time you've spent. Meanwhile people who begin the day this shit hits will level faster and get more loot boxes because of it.

I'd almost prefer they put everything back to zero for the update honestly and just leave us the skins we've bought with gold or money.

I'll level up heroes again if I get free shit for it.

>>172442291
Seems like they're not, since they specifically mention them having a cap of 35.

>>172442223
>>Player Level 400
>35 Common (MAX)
>20 Rare (MAX)
Wait, what? 400/25 = 16. How would 400 cap out the rares?
You started adding extra rares at 200 and up?

>>172442226

>>172442291
No, they limited the reward to 70. Which means we are getting fucked out of a lot of boxes. For instance each level in the new system is a common box. I am level 585 and yet only get 35 common boxes.

>>172442614
I'm saying, your calculation should not reach 20 rares by level 400. Level 400 should only give you 16 rares. 16 x 25 = 400.
You'd need level 500 to cap out the rares. 500/25 = 20.

>>172442616
You still have the gold and all the skins and heroes, man.

so the only purpose for heroes 2.0 is to get the overwatch normies to come play? Because it sure seems like established players are getting the shit end of the stick here.

>>172442616
No they expect you to say thanks for giving us free shit, even though you are fucking us out of a lot of free shit we should be getting.

You realize that leveling at level 999 and leveling at level 11 are going to be the same speed, right? You're just getting an extra 35+ boxes that people at level 11 are not getting.

They are making gold even more useless it sounds like.

>>172443051
Gems: can be bought with cash. you will also get gems by account progression. used to buy heroes and loot boxes.

Gold: you will still get it the same way as before but you can only buy heroes and loot box rerolls with it(you can't unlock master skins by gold anymore. they will drop in loot boxes)
However, please note that if you’ve already purchased a Skin or Mount using gold or real money before the patch arrives, you’ll permanently receive the base version and both of its variations on patch day —whether or not you had previously unlocked those variations.

Shards: duplicates from loot boxes will convert to Shards and are used to buy/craft all the cosmetic stuff(skins, emojis, voicepacks,...)

Someone should do the math on how many loot boxes of what types you get as a new account from leveling all heroes to level 10

>>172443517
>missing heroes
c'mon now, anon

>>172443370
That's 10 levels of acceleration for new players. Everything past 10 is flatlined.
You're not leveling heroes after the rework, ya git. It all becomes account level.

>>172443454
You're not even hitting the full 75 boxes at level 585. You're only getting 70.
>Meanwhile if someone started playing the day it came out when they hit lvl 585 they would have 585 common loot boxes, plus the epic and rare loot boxes they would get.
And by the time someone gets there you're going to be level 1170, you FUCKING BUFFOON. Because you will level up at the EXACT SAME RATE and the rewards ARE PERFECTLY LINEAR. Meanning now you have JUST AS MUCH BOXES AS THEY DO, only you also have THE EXTRA YOU GOT FROM THE REWARDS
>I'm not even counting the fact that I'm going to be given retroactive xp meaning my lvl is going to go up but I'll still have no loot boxes to show for those levels.

There will still be hero levels seperate from account levels. Hero level will be quick from 1 to 10 and then flatline. Player level will just be all your hero levels added together. Also, hero levels give you one epic box every 10 levels that is specific to that hero

Now think of how many easy loot boxes and hero specific loot boxes you are missing out on if your whole roster is above level 10 when the new patch hits

>>172443819

Lvl heroes is going to be faster, and you'll get retroactive xp based on that. Meaning that Li-Ming you have on the cusp of 9 will be given more xp because of the faster rate you level meaning those levels she got will no longer give you loot boxes.

I can tell you are not fucking comprehending this, because by the time they reach level 70, you will be level 655 and have 70 extra loot boxes too. Therefore, you will match them. Is this that hard to comprehend?

>>172443984

You really don't get this, do you? How can you get more common and rares by waiting? Your level progression can't be accelerated in any way right now other than leveling characters, and when the revamp hits, it will be flatlined and be the same speed regardless of what level you are.

>>172444338
No I won't, because the first lvls are easier to get than later levels. It's not a flat line. Meaning it's going to take me longer to level than people just starting.

Again: you are clearly not comprehending something here. Your starting point is essentially meaningless because all levels are evenly spaced with no end. What level you start at will not change how difficult it is to level, or what rewards you are going to get in the future. It only changes what rewards you get immediately upon the revamp.

But those rewards would be exactly these loot boxes that are getting limited. New account leveling Chromie to level 10 will get 7 common loot boxes, 2 rare loot boxes and 1 hero specific loot box. Leveling Chromie to 10 on a new account will take less time than getting ~5 levels on a Chromie past level 10

http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/blog/20638783/heroes-of-the-storm-20-open-beta-notes-march-29-2017-3-29-2017 patch fags

>>172444825
That's up to 10. On every hero. You get lvls based on your heroes levels. Meaning it takes a lot less time to level a hero from 1 to 5 than 10-15.

Every hero in the game for me is above lvl 5. Most of them are between 8-12. Not only that but the game is going to give me retroactive levels based on the new system meaning I'm going to go up even more on profile fucking me out of even more levels. Which would have each given me crates, but they won't because I already hit the lvl 70 max.

If I stop playing right now until the update goes live, maybe I won't go up as much meaning those levels will still be there to get.

Your account level is 500 something. Whether it not it goes up doesn't matter, because there is no cap and the distance between each level is even. You will not "lose out" on anything, because whether you start at 520 or 570, adding 50 levels onto that total will be equally difficult and equally rewarding. How is this hard to process?
>I won't go up as much meaning those levels will still be there to get
THERE IS NO CAP, THE ENTIRE POINT IS THAT THERE IS NO CAP

>>172445080
As a result, Heroes who were above level 5 in the previous system will gain one or more Hero levels.
Example: Heroes who were level 10 should adjust to approximately Level 15 in the new progression system. A former level 20 Hero will convert to about level 55.

Yes but will we get the character loot box?

I love hots, and the new stuff looks great.
But is anyone else getting a "last ditch effort" kinda feel from this?

I'm afraid (activision)Blizzard is like "Make this game profitable and huge, NOW, or we pull the plug" and this is what they came up with.

Scary to think about.

>>172445543
HOLY SHIT

>>172445543
PLEASE tell me you can also disable autoattack PLEASE

>>172445302
The only rewards you get for leveling heroes are the hero specific loot boxes and 500 gold every 5 levels. I seriously doubt they are giving this since they already said loot boxes are getting capped. This also still means you are getting fucked for having leveled past all the easy levels on heroes in terms of player level increases

>>172445579
NO BUT THOSE LEVELS I'M GOING UP ARE LOOT BOXES I COULD HAVE GOTTEN BUT NOW I WON'T BECAUSE I ALREADY HIT THE MAX FOR COMMON LOOT BOXES.

So we get Genji and D2 Assassin.

I think the third either has to be a highly sought WC hero (such as Maiev or Kel'Thuzad) or a Retro.

Anything else wouldn't make sense.

However, if it were somehow a diablo hero it would be Aidan or Malthael.

wat

>>172445756
They didn't comment we don't really know. The loot boxes that are capped are linked to account level.
>>172445787
WHAT ARE YOU NOT GETTING HERE?
It doesn't matter AT ALL if you're level 501 or 599. Those "98 levels" are ephemeral nothingness, because the leveling process at 599 is just as difficult and just as rewarding at 501, WITHOUT END.
You're not missing out on any boxes, because the path to your next loot box is JUST AS LONG no matter WHERE YOU START.

People on PTR, see what level live heroes get pushed to just below level 10 on PTR. Also make sure you take into account how much exp past whatever level it was on live

>>172446016
The pirate skin, it said legendary.

Quick, which one gives more rewards?

Players will earn additional rewards upon reaching the following levels:

Player level 5: 1,000 Gems
This Gem reward will be granted retroactively to existing players who reached level 5 in the previous progression system.

blizzard gives you 10 bucks for free now shut up with your veteran player's privilege

you're not comprehending this isn't true. lower levels are still easier. stop posting.

>>172446063
I did check for myself.

SHIT UPDATE

>>172446034
>the path to your next loot box is JUST AS LONG no matter WHERE YOU START.
Except when you have under level 10 heroes, then it's quicker when you level those heroes

>>172446034
Yeah but lvl 502 is easier to get than lvl 602. Meaning if I don't play now I lvl faster, meaning I get loot boxes faster meaning I get more because I'm lvl faster.

Lvling is not like in Overwatch where it's the same xp from lvl 22 to lvl 100.

Only from 1 to 10. Everything beyond that is flat.

>>172446223
yeah you fucking retard that means you get account levels faster. fuck you.

>>172446223
Now count the amount of heroes in the game and see how many easy levels you can get off of leveling every hero from 1 to 10

>>172446110
it doesn't matter

>>172446212
>Yeah but lvl 502 is easier to get than lvl 602.
NO IT ISN'T
>Lvling is not like in Overwatch where it's the same xp from lvl 22 to lvl 100.
IT IS EXACTLY LIKE OVERWATCH WHERE IT'S THE SAME XP FROM LEVEL 22 TO LEVEL 100
THE ENTIRE FUCKING DESIGN IS LIFTED FROM OVERWATCH

>>172446063
Just checked. It's there. Go to the site. open the source and ctrl+f genji.

>>172446387
Yeah but if I level a hero it's going to take me longer to level that hero because he's going to be a higher level than he is right now. Meaning it will be harder to level that hero.

>>172446284
Account levels are where you get the tiers of loot box rewards. Did you miss that?

>>172446059
This, we need level cut offs. What live level/exp is level 9/19/29/39/49 on the new system?
