    In a previous event, I came home at 11pm UK time on the Tuesday and it was still live.

    It's basically whenever they drop the patch on Tuesday.

    Yeah it's never been consistent. I usually get on Monday after the arcade reset, get my 3 bonus boxes, and call it.

    I buy the small things I want ahead of time though.

    The only skins I didn't get this time were the Lucio ones. Which I am ok with since I don't really play him.

    I really don't like the Mercy and DVa changes. I feel like all they did was bend to the will of DPS players.

    Mercy's rez was fine where it was and kept firefights intense after the rez. If anything the rez could have had a little bit longer charge time and/or a smaller AOE. Valkyrie now makes her OP


    Making DVa's defense matrix burn up twice as fast only makes Pharah better since you can't defend against her rockets or Missile rain very effectively. If they wanted to balance it they should have have it burn 25% faster instead of 50%. The missiles are nice but she feels more like a beefy DPS than the tank she once was.

    Then again I may be bitter because I main Dva and backup Mercy and Bastion

    Oh yeah I forgot that the event probably won't end until after the box reset tonight. I guess I haven't gotten my last box then.

    Now I will probably play mercy since most of the fights I saw her she hid behind the whole group or was glued to Pharah so it was hard to kill her and ta da Ult time when it was nearly a wipe for the enemy

    well, Lucioball is going away shortly, so I guess that takes care of that

    So uh

    The arcade reset on console, but lucio ball is still up?

    I bought like twenty boxes this morning to get the grillmaster, does this mean I can still get sexy mcgee and complete my set of legendaries for the summer???

    I... think I might have gotten every item from the event (I did buy 10 loot boxes though) but I ended up having to buy the soldier skin at the end

    last few loot boxes were all duplicates...it's just like old times!

    End on
    I wish that someway, somehow, that I could save every one of us

    I played very little this event, and the only summer skin I got from a box was a Tracer... and I never play her.

    I could buy the Mercy or Junkrat, but then I wonder if they'll get something new for Xmas.

    Oh well.

    I was 75 gold away from 3000, popped my last box, and it's LEGENDARY...CURRENCY

    So I guess it worked out

    Legendary Currency feels FUCKING TERRRRIIIIBLLLLLLE.

    I would be delighted if they got rid of it altogether, even if it means buying skins slower.

    I am really excited for the Mercy changes, even if they tone down her new ult a bit

    I find current Mercy really stressful to play because I never know if I should be using my ult to rez a single teammate so that I can start charging a new one, or sit on it until there's a chance for a multiple rez, and then half the time I die first or second and then I'm sitting on the rez even longer so I finally decide that even one rez before I die is better than nothing, at which point I might as well have used it when I first got it charged and aaaaaaagh

    so yeah, being able to single-rez on a cooldown will be much easier on my head, and her new ult sounds way less situational and more proactive than reactive

    I may even make my first gold weapon be Mercy's

    I grinded way late last night, 6 or 7 boxes. I got a legendary in the 3rd to last box.

    Old Lucio summer skin. Couldn't even tell you which one cause meh.

    I think having mercy's ultimate be a heal-monster transform that still requires very active play is cool, but i don't think it needs to interact with her pistol at all

    Mercy on mystery heroes is even more stressful because if you die that's it, unless you have another mercy with her ult ready. This should definitely help on that front.

    Also you are dead be cause she got you, so I think that voids your argument.

    She's going to be significantly broken in mystery because no one normally has the cognizance to play with her old ult properly.

    I'd even be fine with the unlimited clip part, but the flying, huge damage, huge fire rate increase, bottomless clip all together are too much.

    Someone upthread suggested making it a choice ult like Symmetra. I like Angel of Mercy vs Angel of Death as an idea, though I think I would just end up disappointed that no one ever picks Angel of Mercy when the team needs it.

    Also fun in mystery heroes:
    "Okay, my ult is up, but is there anybody who'd rather not be rezzed?"
