I know it's petty, but the only thing that bugs me about the aqua dva skin is that it counts against the hero gallery completion. I had everything else and now i will never be able to make it 100% complete again.

@kram._. Nah, she's my main character and I accumulated everything for dva through loot boxes and credits during OW1. Only bought like 1 shop skin for her in OW2.
“free if you bought the battle pass” that phrase burned my brain
Time limited exclusive skins are fine, if they come back again in the future. But ones limited in availability like the Dva Aqua Tokki for only 300 people, nah Blizzard needs to stop that crap.
I had no idea that’s how the gentle monster Aqua skin was sold. I thought it had just not been released yet.

The Aqua skin kinda only went to A listers and some of them had nothing to do with the game eh
The one coin Bastion Skin released on December 2022. (End of 4th Quarter) Overwatch 2 released on October 2022. (Beginning of 4th Quarter). People were boycotting the shop, but Blizzard needed to artificially boost shop sales to impress investors. Showing that somehow OW2 still had a successful release. And thus, Gingerbread Bastion was born.

"Why are you running, Hanzo?"
I think all cosmetics should be earnable, without purchase, but also purchasable if you want to support the game. (Weekly challenge coins in OW2 should be 600/w not 60/w) And I do not think skin should be locked behind time or event exclusivity. (I missed out on the Bastion Lego skin because I was away for work during the event.) Sure, those skins should be special, but they should be rotated back into other events. A Blizzcon skin for example should come around for purchase or earnable for the next Blizzcon. Giving those who went a year to show off but not locking people out of maybe 1 skin that basically costs $300. A person who can drop $300 on /the game may play 20hrs a month whereas another might not be able to afford $30 but plays 200hrs a month. Why should the guy devoting his time not be able to access the cool skins? The game only exists so long as people are playing it.

I did wonder whatever happened to the cyan version of the dva skin; I did not know until now that this is how this skin got distributed 😅
6:27 This just reminded me about the Jester Sombra skin thats in the shop for everyone to buy... So much for rewarding OG Overwatch players with a unique skin that the OW2 players didn't get... until now.
2:52 chat 🤣
The Medic skin was re-distributed as twitch drops at one point since I ended up getting the skin, the conductor skin as well. Pink Mercy is much more rare as a skin that benefited charity it will never return.

Anyone else notice Doom fly across the screen at 5:38
So basically unless you are Overwatch content creator or HYBE you aren’t getting that DVA skin
With the widow skin there was also a glitch that gave it out to people in ow2. I am one of those. I have noire widow and I didn't start playing till 2019
You know it’s a little funny how I didn’t buy the bastion skin I didn’t want there to be one less coin
Nothing will ever beat the cancer awareness mercy skin. Genuinely criminal to say the money is going towards the cancer foundation and when the foundation saids hey it’s okay to make it free to not only say not but then never show the skin in game ever again. That is the scummiest thing to do. Especially when there’s players who wanna support the cause or going through it themselves and want the skin to cheer themselves up wit their comfort character
Overwatch 2 is kinda being dumb, I feel like if their gonna bring back a rare skin they should give the og owners a re-color so they can separate ogs and non ogs who have the skin, for example fortnite does this a lot.
I been playing since 2016 and have every single Blizzcon, weekly challenge, and time-exclusive skin. I personally don’t care if they bring them back, you can’t sell/trade them anyways so there is no monetary value and I have more pressing things in my life to worry about than virtual cosmetics.
Wait WHAT?! I saw the aqua skin in the hero menu when I was considering the Fuschia skin, and literally didn't buy it as I was expecting the aqua one to go up for sale soon and I massively preferred it. I think the aqua one looks great - I had no idea it'd never be put on the store. Wild.
To answer the controversy question excluding Noire and Medic Brig. That's why ppl care about what other people do with their money cause it tells the seller that "This is okay do this. Idc how much you charge". Hence the abysmal prices. A side note: imo opinion the WoW skins of Genji and Symmetry are THE rariest skins of the 7 yrs I've played this game. I only met 2 players who have Genji's Wow skin and only 1 who has Symmetra's wow skin.
That Gingerbread Bastion skin came out in my first few days of playing so I didn't know how to get the gold coins, I still feel bad that I missed out, it's an alright skin

Ive just been watching the gameplay and someone just said "i cant take this shit anymore" i started laughing so hard
Yo, the somersaulting Doom at 5:37 😂😂😂
i remember when ow1 in it last month had every single skin purchasable, and i think that was another trick to make people spending their credits for old skins so they wont have credits for new skins in ow2
small correction for semantics, gentle monster fuschia was a tweak of EDM. there are more tweaks to the texture than just the colors and the mesh was also tweaked. still bs, but...
i just played back from stopping playing ow2 since the release of illari, but for some reason some of my owned skins from ow1 was locked and i had to purchase it again
I played with nightraven today on a team. Kind of cool to see familiar names in youtube videos
Exclusive skins are cool, but the sheer number of them behind paywalls discourages me to even go for them :\
coming back to this and marking the moment when last week they dropped the dva skin in the shop xD
i didn't buy gingerbread bastion precisely cus of the "1 coin off" issue. also the fact the odd number would bug me for years
5:36 whoever that was got sent flying XD
Lol the way dooms body did a cartwheel in the air😂 5:40
I won glasses and dva gentle aqua skin, but my mother dropped and broke the frame in the first minutes after opening... I still cant forget this 😭😭😭
What about the illidan genji skin? I've never seen it out in the wild

The mercy skin should only be obtainable for donating to the breast cancer charity. To just make it earnable would be in poor taste, but I do think they should do a second round for charity and to give other players a chance to donate that would be amazing!

Bro I missed out on the bastion skin cause I was really busy all of December 😢
5:35 BRO WAS FLYIN
Long story short, Blizzard love money more than their fans.
also another widow skin was kerigra skin for widow maker which game in an event and then got put in shop
5:37 WHAT WAS THAT DEATH RAGDOLL PHYSICS 😂😂😂😂😂
5:46 I also bought the skin around January of 2022 for 60 bucks, and thank God I did because I absolutely LOVE the skin and just a few months later it was 200 dollars.
this made me wonder if i bought a noire widow code can you still claim them in ow2 (specifically on pc for my case) ??????????
i remember they gave us 10 coins when they released the gingerbread skin for bastion... idk if my memory is bad tho
I bought Overwatch 1 at GameStop for $50 2-3 years after the game came out and it had the Noire Widowmaker code in it.
the way you say kiriko makes me want to break my own legs
the way the gentle monster skin was a recolor is why i didnt get it
lol "ki reek o", I've only ever heard it "keereeko"
Wait I had no idea that’s the only way to get that dva skin. I hope they release it in the future because I really want it
As of February 2024, Gentle Monster Aqua DVa is in the shop
bruh that aqua skin is just adorable.. praying they go back and make her accesible later on
hate how I had the noire widowmaker skin, only on my brothers playstation 4...
If the bastion skin makes your coins an odd number why dont they do weekly mission’s to get 30 coins for the odd number to go
I’m upset I can’t get the Lego bastion skin anymore :(
i am 99% sure it was free for a short period but they had to price it because it broke the store, because i did not put any money into ow2 at that point and have the skin
Just gonna say the gentle monster skin is really confusing, because some of the people who got the glasses and codes are people who don’t even play overwatch, like why not make it a giveaway or make it something where it’s not exclusive to popular people?
Guess what DVA Gentle Tokki Aqua is in the shop. Not so rare now.
i will say i am guilty of pretending to be an og with the noire widow skin. i started playing ow in 2018 on xbox, i also had a switch but never used it when it came out on the switch i pre ordered it just to get the skin then ow2 comes around and now i have it on all platforms.
At lest the earth charm was free haven’t seen anything else free in a while
Rip when I bought the witch kiriko skin as soon as it came out 💀😂
Hell was is disappointing when they gave demon hunter sombra to everyone. FOR FREE. Back then I pretty much bought the virtual blizzcon ticket solely to get that incredible skin for my main. Didn't make it better when they released a recolour for it that ended up being less common than the actual "OG"-skin.
i dont even play bastion and bought the skin and BRUH MY COINS ARE SO UGLY NOW AND IT BASICALLY 10 COINS SINCE I CANT USE MY NINE COINS
My noira window skin got remove on Xbox one.😢
*Sits happily on my pink mercy skin*
I would have been fine the skin costing 10 coins
I don’t think there’s a problem with limited edition stuff s as long as everything’s that was Limited edition stays it. As in, i think it’s great that streamers got special skins but how come the skins that were limited edition in overwatch one (event weekly challenge skins) are just sold regularly when other stuff is never coming back? same with like the ESports skins like Zen’s and stuff. It made sense to come back at the end of OVW1 but not necessarily in OVW2. And even then I don’t have a giant problem with that as long as no other Esports or Overwatch League skins are locked and trapped behind not being able to buy them.
I think aqua diva skin came in tbe shop recently
Personally, I think there should never be exclusive skins what they should do it just you can get get the skin earlier then every body elce but it should be released into the shop and return every so often so everyone has the chance to get it same with the battle pass after a few seasons you should be able to pic what one you want so of you missed season 1 you can buy it but say like with skins from overwatch 1 that you can't get in overwatch 2 they should be released in overwatch 2 for the people who didn't or couldn't play overwatch 1
Timed and event exclusive items is why I quit collecting Pokemon, Funko and trading cards
You can earn small amount of coins with the weekly challenges for free, you didnt have to put money to have the gingerbread bastion skin
i didn't buy the gingerbread bastion because i knew it would screw up my coin count lmfao
and then the dva aqua monster skin just came out in the shop LOLLL
Remember the peak days when you "won" or earned skins? Jeff Warned us, and look what happened. lol
I personally say exclusive skins is a stupid marketing design as at some point people who join the game much later will learn of them and learn that if they would've found this game earlier, they maybe could've gotten that skin. Sometimes, depending on the reasoning, they can work, but only with specific reasoning, and the ones that don't fit the criteria should be available at some point or another.
How common is Blizzard Bastion? Anybody knows? I dead ass seen him only once.
I had the widow maker in my old account but it got hacked 💔💔
What? No pink Mercy? Only reason I didn't buy that Bastion skin is because I would have hated for my coins to be an odd number for the rest of times. Like actually hated it. And I don't even use my coins, but that would have driven me crazy.
Watching this when the new moira skin is locked behind a $40 bundle...
Imagine buying cosmetic items with real money
5:36 doom is so funny XD
not getting the lego bastion was the worst mistake of my life
1:28 or the shop doesn’t allow free skin input.
For me I don't really care if they bring back old skins, I don't feel like gatekeeping because I happen to have the Snow Angel for Mercy. It's just pixels on a screen and anyone with enough money can go buy an account from an account seller. Exclusivity is a lie
I want my pink mercy skin.
Yohh bts & Eilish🤩💜 but yess the glasses look kinda sweet, SKIN..recolored one so.. 50-50 thoughts on me... Coming from Dva main
Somewhere along the line I must’ve spent 2 coins cause I’m at 807 currently
I really wish gingerbread bastion was 5 or even just 10 coins
Yes exclusive skins should be a thing. I have a bunch of rare skins over the years like pink mercy and all the owl special skins like alien zarya. Honestly overwatch should have a trade market system like csgo/rocket league. Being able to trade your cosmetics and other stuff would be awesome. Cause the only way to get skins that will never return is to buy an account which is technically against terms of service. I highly doubt blizzard would notice or care though.

I would absolutely love it if Blizzard added a trade system. I mean, I got this last Season’s Battle Pass just for the Lifeweaver victory pose but now I have a bunch of skins I don’t like/want. Before, I would say it would never happen, but maybe now that it’s F2P, there is a small chance of a trading system being implemented. Small chance though.
Doom fist jumpscare 5:30
My opinion is that these are just cosmetic items with not in game advantage. So i dont value any of the skins at all, even the rare ones. I save my coins and buy one from time to time. But it isnt a priority to seek these in my opinion.
