PSA:Stop spreading misinformation

NSFW

Blizzard is most likely not going to charge for heroes past the first 21, and they have stated that they want everyone to have access to every hero. It is an advertisement for a product, and of course they are going to fucking announce the amount of player characters available on launch. There is NOTHING to indicate Blizz plans on charging for heroes. What we do know: There will be skins There might be different hero color schemes available Blizzard does not want to charge for heroes and that is not their plan

You're causing a fuss over a possible misinterpretation of and advertisement.

they specifically said so far instead of just "all heroes", that's what's throwing people off.

Yup, i'm really worried about that.. They worded it like you get 21 heroes and BUY the rest of them...

EntoraOP•

No, they worded it like "21 heroes" because on release there will be 21 fucking heroes.

Anadia2Anadia#2356•

Yes and after that what? they could've said you get ALL heroes,this just means they want to sell heroes or just testing the community reaction

They might just want to advertise that their game has 21 heroes. There's nothing in that wording that says future heroes will require payment.

You are making a mistake

Yes SO FAR There is 21 heroes, for fucks sake.

SildeeSildee#2807•

no, they said you'll get all the heroes in the game so far, not 21 heroes so far.

2
SuBw00FeR37•

...yes, you just re-worded exactly what I said. so far in the game there are 21 heroes, you will get the 21 heroes so far (that are made)

Stop fucking putting words into blizzards mouth.

Until they announce a payment model, stop insisting the heros will be free. Every post i've seen on here has stated "there MIGHT be a paywall", in reality you're the one spreading misinformation by asserting that they WILL be free.

Stop spreading misinformation .

Dude BOTH sides are wrong. No one should be stating facts like "Blizzard is forcing us to PAY for new heroes!" or "Blizzard is making them free!" We do NOT know the answer and none of the "clues" we have give any definitive answers. I'm tired of people reading "21 characters" as "21 characters? Means we have to PAY for more?!?!" even though there's nothing in there to hint at that!

Personally IDC. I'd love free new characters! Who wouldn't?! I'd be "ok" with paying for them since all the fighting games I play force players to do that as long as we can try them for free like in HotS/LoL and as long as they're cheap like 1-5 bucks. But if they need the money to create these characters then so be it. Not gonna cry like a 2 year old about it. If I were running a business I wouldn't pretend the world is sunshine and rainbows andsell everything for just enough to break even, I'd make a profit. And you guys would too.

MIGHT be a paywall

You literally just agreed with him.

TheSameDamnGuy•

I've never stated that we were going to have to pay for new characters, I've only stated that the wording leaves that open. This guy is the one insisting we will not have to.

sbooyahTracer•

Stating anything other than 'We don't know' is incorrect.

Will heroes be free or cost money? Will there be ANY heroes after 21? Will any new maps be added before release? Game modes?

We don't know.

EntoraOP•

It is most likely not going to be an F2P game unless it flops after release.

I gurantee you with 99.999 percent certainty that they will be free based on Blizzards comments so far.

The payment model is very easy to piece together, especially after the origin and collectors edition announcements

TheSameDamnGuy•

Wow, can you tell me next weeks lotto numbers too? I didn't know you were clairvoyant.

I'm not asking for the game to be f2p, i'm asking for the game to be a reasonable b2p model.

Stop white knighting blizzard and use your brain, please.

EntoraOP•

Stop fucking making shit up then. I base myself upon the official information which so far is they don't plan on it.

I'm not basing my opinion off of nothing and if you'd like to support your argument with actual data, developer statements, etc, then feel free buddy.

TheSameDamnGuy•

Dude, you literally just said "I can guarantee you 99.999%.", you don't get to come at me with "official information".

The guy literally said THE FIRST 21 heros are included with the purchase of the game, meaning the latter heros are not. Weather they will be free or buy to access, is yet to be seen.

You don't get to say "i really feel like, deep down in my heart, they will be free" and have me take you seriously. Either show me the statement where they say they're free, or shut the fuck up.

Only official information you got is that for 40$ You get all heroes that are already in game(which is 21 heroes for free). Why would someone announce You get all 21 heroes for free and not mentioning most important thing "and all future heroes will be free"... That simple sentence would make even more people buy game,so why would they skip it?

So, it means new heroes may be free if they decide so(which they clearly didn't decide because they would point it out instantly!) ,may be buy to play etc. Maybe even blizzard didn't decide yet what to do so they made a cliffhanger, so once they decide whats best for them they will announce it, we'll see,someone on blizzcon will for sure ask about this on question panel..

Fnarley•

If all future heroes are included for free FM that is a colossal selling point and they would be frankly idiotic not to announce that fact. Either it's undecided or its unlockable content (cash or in game method)

No one is spreading misinformation. Take a moment to stop gargling on blizzards dick and actually listen and read to what has been said.

It's very clearly worded $40 is for 21 heroes and however many maps will be at launch. With additional info saying that no heroes are planned initially after release.

Just use your brain and see what is going on. It's their way of saying additional heroes and maps released after launch will have to be purchased without saying it.

And if it's not, they should have done some damage control and said something before the fire got out of control. Considering nothing has been said on it, we can pretty much assume without doubt that new heroes and maps will be behind some sort of paywall.

The way i see it the only reason for them not to say you get all heroes instead of the ones available so fat it´s that either their business model its not clear yet (pretty rare considering pre-orders are already up) or they are going to be selling them later on. I really wish they are going to be free, but i can only hope.

VirylHanzo•

Seems the hype-train has derailed and there's bodies and salt everywhere.

I'm just gonna wait until they elaborate before jumping to conclusions about it. They stated they preferred to keep all heroes available for free, but that could've easily been changed since then.

JackandGingerCat•

PSA: Don't spread misinformation. You provided no real information that should lead anyone to believe you over others. Your reasons are just as logical as anyone else speculating about the nature of the pay model. You are arguing as if what you reason is true. Don't spread misinformation.

Dear god this threads make me hate people, everyone needs to chill and wait for things to come, the game isn't going to be released till next June, alot can and will probably change

spreading misinformation

No one knows the truth, and no one claims to. There are lots of people concerned about possible future charging for heroes because of the wording of the announcements, but we're still waiting to find out the truth.

mixmasterswitchGenji•

I just think its funny how much people want to hate this game. We dont know how the future heroes will be, why assume you are going to hate it?

urosh92Reaper•

Tbh there is also nothing to indicate that blizz doesn't plan on charging for heroes,which they could easily announce now on blizzcon saying simply "You get all 21 heroes unlocked AND all heroes we add later on" ... 40$+skins+ possibly additional heroes(or at least early access to additional heroes)... Total Sellout and they won't see a penny from me,but who cares,they are big company and they can afford to lose some of their player base for bigger profit...

EntoraOP•

They said they don't plan on it on atleast two occassions, one of which with Ellohime on stream.

There is nothing to indicate they do.

Oh hey guys, there is nothing to indicate China is going to nuke us into oblivion111!!!! gEt in the bunker

Any recordings of those statements? That'd help shut people up.

aeriess•

We actually DON'T know if Blizzard doesn't want to charge us for heroes anymore because of how sketchy they're putting their words at BLIZZCON. THEIR convention. You're standing behind a company that can't even say the words "ingame currency or FOR SURE no hero paywall" but have their preorder system all ready to go right at the beginning.

Ya for sure people may be overreacting but the signs are pointing to disaster.
