You need to get all 10 scrolls for a character to unlock it. You get scrolls if you log in the max days in a row, also one person at random gets a scroll per map. Scrolls do not duplicate per character, so if you get a scroll for character X it's always the next one. But if that character already has all scrolls you get shards.

What this means is the more characters there are in the game the harder it is to the get the skins. Also the scrolls used to be hidden in jars and pots around the map, the things you can destroy. They removed this because people would rush all the poo poo at the beginning and it was generally a poo poo show. But it also means that those who did that in the start of things generally have more of them.

Generally if you play 8 maps a day the odds are you will get one scroll. And if you just log in every day you'll see one off and on.

They removed lore scrolls from the daily rewards I think.

Pretty much. The pot mechanic was dumb and now that they are awarded randomly I only get one after like 20 games. Just to read a stupid paragraph and get a skin I’ll never use.

The in-game economy is getting worse and worse each patch. First they removed shards and now you only get 10 measly shards when you get a duplicate and now they removed scrolls and replaced everything with generic poo poo. Assuming this was done for f2p folks to make it less of a steep hill climb to get new heroes.


Edit: did anyone else get the Quakecon skin for the HMG?

if you watch the dev streams they sometimes trot out their albino "monetization manager" and he looks exactly like you'd imagine an albino monetization manager would look except his face is also erupting in thousands of greasy pus-filled boils.

syncerror is the least irritating person on those streams but he always has the facial expression of an infamous chomo who's just been transferred to gen-pop.

i got two plasmaguns (lol dupes) from free crates as well as pretty much every skin/vanity i wanted. as far as i'm concerned the monetization system is good as hell. praise be to albino nurgle.

if you already have the champs pack and just do your dailies/accidentally knock out the occasional rune challenge you'll be opening something like 300 backpacks, 40 chests and like 15 reliquaries a month, all without spending a single penny.

compare this system to tf2 where you get a crate every 2 hours-ish but it costs $5.99 for a key to open it.

I just found out they did the same promotion with the Bethesda keynote at E3, but I definitely watched that on a Twitch linked account and didn't get anything. I really hope I don't have to make and link an ESO account just to get the three reliquaries lmao.

I got plenty of bitching tonight about deathknight OP. Not because of point blank high damage shots (which many characters have an IK ability that works better), not about the fire burn... but about midair direct hits with the fireballs. Most hiliarious bitching was on the map where everyone just spammed rockets and I got multiple midairs with the ability.

How does the damage counter on the scoreboard work? One game I got the 5k damage medal and scoreboard only showed 3,5k damage. Then some other game I didnt feel like I was doing too well and got 5k on the scoreboard. Maybe it was a different medal with a 5000 on it? I have no idea.

I've wondered this myself, my best guess is maybe the scoreboard shows you damage for your favourite/most used weapon in the match, and the "epic match" medals is your overall damage? Or it doesn't include ability damage?

Was that your first match? The 5k medal is cumulative for the day, isn't it?

Or you mean like the medals the awards... I was thinking of the daily. Hmm, maybe its a bug.
