While that was supposed to be the case with obsidian and cosmic skins that didn't happen. One can only hope that they follow through on making gold skins for all the champions instead of abandoning the concept for a different form of mastery skin.

The Obsidian and Cosmic skins are such a half ass job tho,theyre not even nice skins + they charge 200 crystals for them !?

Noone buys them with crystals. Gold is the way

The gold guns were all moved to level 50 rewards, with the plan to create skins to go with them.

This is both an incentive to play more, level up your Champions and (potentially) even spend gold levelling them up as a gold sink.

The idea of a levelling gold sink is fine, but initially (and still?) people felt it diminished others achievement of hours spent levelling a Champ. Secondly, it helps to 'prove' someone having skills (or that they should have skill), in a Champ. Lastly, the issue of people buying levels, and then not having a clue how to play them, really gets frustrating for players (me included).


Sadly, I can't see the reason that Obsidian and Cosmic skins can't be created for the remaining Champions that don't have them, including the new Champions. It's another, special recolour, that I enjoy using on Champion (either mixed with a coloured gun or obs/cosmic gun and some other skin). Is it really that much extra work to create them?

The frustrating part of the lack of Obs. and Cosmic skins and the work on the Gold skins is that level 50 really is a fairly tricky achievement except for perhaps a few Champions...or even just one for some players.

The idea of levelling up all the Champions I use to 50 (about 4-6 usual, 8-10 somewhat) makes me balk at the thought. I've only gotten Damba to 47ish and that has been mainly focusing on him.

Buying champion levels should not be allowed.

Also, Level 144 Maeves are a scary thought...

Probs not.
Unless they make you pay with crystals only like with voices. Then probabaly all charactres will have that.

They said they would in the last stream. Specifically this. I don't get how/why people make up stuff like this.

Why? Level doesn't mean anything in this game, since you can buy levels with gold, they only show that a player has a lot of gold. Not skill.

well you dont have to implying that everyone with high level champs are all bought
Sincerly a Maeve level 144 with 460 hours and 57 minutes only on her

Yeah I believe that some people actually get all their levels without gold, but it's really rare. Most people buy them so I'm just basing my opinion on the majority of the people

They say many things.
Same as they said about the mastery skins. What happened to those? Can you Mr. ImHiReZFanboi answer that? I guess no. But yeah keep believing everythign they say. Lol.

I meant real-effort levels.

Case in point.

I feel like thses gold champion skins will be just as double-edged as ob and cosmic ones if you get what I mean. it'll look good one some, but absolutely garbage on others. and of course, like its predecessor, gold skins might not even reach all of the champs.

I don't think it will looke like garbage on any of them, I think they will just be seen as recolors. Now if the mastery skins gave them new outfits to make them truly makes them look more formidable that would actually be what I consider a mastery skin. Take for example the heroes of the Storm mastery skins before they went coocoo and changed them to be gold purchases. It just made them look like they truly mastered what they are good at. I would much prefer that over a palette swap.

From what I've seen since OB67, they have pretty much followed through with what they've said. Given that, and the fact that all the Champ have golden weapons, it seems to be fairly clear that the plan for Gold skins will be very much in the making.

You assuming "probs not" is supposed to confirm what? That it's more likely they will NOT create those skins? To create the lure of having people use their gold to spend on levelling Champs to 50? Funny, I see it just the opposite.


But far from being a fanboi (as I don't care either way what Hi-Rez does as a business), what information leads you to believe that it is MORE likely they will NOT create those skins? On a business level, a) it makes sense for them to do it and b) they've open stated that is the plan, linked to moving all the gold weapons to mastery level 50 (which theyve done).


You just sound like someone ranting on a soapbox, without any real information to base it on. Yes, some of the previous skins they made as part of a legacy plan may have been derailed (probably due to the current heavy workload of skins they have to work on...such as GOLD SKINS).

I can't guarantee they will make the skins, but nor can you guarantee they won't. However, the current history of Hi-Rez developement leads me to believe this is one of the things they will be focusing on delivering.
