Compensation for returning to mainland China: 9 full-level mythical skins and 966 personalized items will be given away for free

Never forget the 966. I’m so pumped for the Chinese players. This is such a cool gesture. I always wondered what would happen since they’re missing so many items. I really hope this makes the game massive in China because it’s such an insane offer.

Out of curiosity, can these accounts interact with NA? Does this include store sold skins? Can these accounts somehow flood a hole in the Overwatch account market? I’m just curious how this works out and if this means we’ll see an influx of Chinese smurf accounts in the NA region.

They get all season pass skin and I saw there they still complaining the rewards

God dam, Blizzard hit the big Red Button and is making it rain in China.

Meanwhile they make everyone else pay like $20 for a single recolour…

I’m happy for them but at the same time…fuck you too blizzard I guess ?

I know, people are all like “well you could play, they couldn’t, that’s why” but still, that much content ? Considering how highly priced it is ? We ALL know that if other servers got down for X months they wouldn’t give a shit. Heck they care so little they barely fix existing skins.

I’m just mad that they’re considering all this virtual stuff super mega precious all year round, with fake shitty discounts and all, as if each one of them was crafted from the most precious and expensive materials (which is not, they don’t even give a shit like the omnic skins they made don’t even have a robot voice filter… even if they’re overpriced at 19€), but for Chinese players it’s suddenly all free, worthless and just a bunch of pixels they can duplicate indefinitely. I’d like to see a timeline where Blizzard even starts to fix bugged skins before giving us ones for free, and where cool skins are not overpriced. Cause 19€ for a fucking skin is ludicrous, especially when it’s just a recolour of an existing one.

Also, I’ve yet to see a way to unlock stuff from past battle passes. Even though I was playing OW back then, I absolutely didn’t understand how the BP worked because it was a stupid awful mess. Now I’m stuck, I can’t get the stuff I want. Oh, that’s right : that’s none of blizzard’s problems, despite being the very reason I didn’t use the battle pass (before they reworked it). But I guess only Chinese players are worth the effort of unlocking past battle pass stuff, huh.

Long story short : happy for Chinese players, mad at blizzard again

Can I get this skins if i create new Chinese account?

Meanwhile, Blizzard shows middle finger to rest of the world.

Im out of the loop…what is this and whats it for?

I really really hope The Chengdu Hunters come back, I lived in Chengdu for 3 years and I’d be excited to support the ‘home team’ as it were

Just as an FWI, “mainland China” is language used by the CCP and Pro-Chinese Imperialists who claim ownership over Taiwan. They call it “mainland” to mean “China but not Taiwan”. This makes no sense since Taiwan is inarguably an independent country and not a region of China. It’s not “Mainland” China, it’s just China.

whats mainland china

is there an offland china

this is cool

Blizzard…? Give…? Free…? What dimension is this?!

I mean I’m happy for them and all, but like holy fuck.

I’m confused, what happened?

Edit: thank you. Not sure why I’m being downvoted, there’s literally no context to this for an NA player. I greatly appreciate all the responses.

Why was it removed? Or should I just Google an article?

Happened els where they best they could do is a spray

Never coming back to Overwatch after this, giving away all this shit for free when people actually spent money on it, actually more disrespectful than cancelling the PVE imo

anybody has chinese VPN? spare some for us

i mean we teied alot for that pass(es) no way bro i cant handle this

For the people asking if they can also receive these, no you can’t. China is an excellent source of whales for MTX farming incase you were deluding yourself that anyone at Blizz still cares about the game.

You’re playing what is now a basic, one-of-many, whale farm FPS and you deserve it.

Unless you’ve managed to play and spend no money at all, in which case the company literally couldn’t care less about your existence lol.
