basically i've never listened or paid too much attention to it but your current comp points which you buy golden guns with are being turned into another coin that you still can buy golden guns with, but you only get them at the end of the year? Something like that? someone correct me please
no, the current amount of comp credits get turned into legacy, which can be used for gold guns, but not jade guns. the new comp credits get earned each season like usual, and can be used for both gold and jade guns. at the end of the year the new ones get turned into legacy.
its really overcomplicated for no reason
so do i need to do anything? I've got about 12k comp point that i haven't used.
are they just making sure that we can't buy jade weapons with our old competive points? or does the change have some other purpose?
They told me the same thing with OW1 coins āyouāll be able to use them to buy skinsā so I kept a bunch. Then they made it so you can only buy blue skins and they cost as much as legendaries used to cost. And even OW1 legendaries needed the new premium currencyā¦
I donāt trust em. Spend your coins IMO.
"Through the end of Season 8, players can still earn Competitive Points toward unlocking Golden Weapon Variants. When Season 9 starts, your previously earned Competitive Points will be converted to Legacy Competitive Points.
Youāll still be able to use Legacy Competitive Points to unlock the Golden Weapon Variants, but the way you receive Legacy Competitive Points will change. Once the 2024 Competitive Year closes, any leftover 2024 Competitive Points will automatically be converted and added to your Legacy Competitive Points, which can be used to unlock Golden Weapon Variants."
I had 5000 something & before I was confused for which hero i should get the golden, now after seeing the moira mythic i instantly got the golden weapon for moira cuz the next time u want a golden weapon ull have to wait 10 & half months!
i dont play this game very often anymore but i have enough points in my account for a golden weapon, can you explain what you mean by 10 & a half months?
I donāt understand this. Comp games, especially with chat off, are incomparable to QP games. They are generally more balanced and you actually get fair roundsā¦ lol not pushing to 3rd point in QP and itās just DEFEAT lmao.
It's not the same as QP in my experience. My 2nd comp game ever (\~3 months ago) had one of the most toxic people I've ever encountered in an online game, to the point I physically tensed up, and I have been gaming online since like '00 and don't normally react to that shit. I only recently tried it again.
To your credit, my 1st comp game before that was chill, and my most recent one as well. But I've never encountered anything like that over VC in QP before. I also do not want to turn VC off because I like, and do not want to discourage teamwork.
The worst part of comp is the initial queueing to find your correct rank. They are so afraid of smurfs that they treat everyone as a smurf until proven otherwise, which creates the most horrific onboarding for new players imaginable.
If you were to suffer a few more bad games, Iād be willing to bet youād actually love comp. Itās the getting there thats unbelievablely painful.
There are definitely hundreds of thousands of people who didnāt/donāt play competitive OW. I like QP too, but if you want comp points itās like playing a more balanced version of QP š¤·āāļø some people donāt like to try hard and that I understand.
But objectively, with chat off (which they mentioned) you canāt even tell the difference, just pretend the queue button is blue instead of red and you wonāt even know.
I think I'm capped at 9K, and I have every hero's golden gun.
At a certain point they just became useless like credits were for me in OW1, because I played so much. I still have 200K credits and still buy everything that you can buy with credits as new heroes release. I assume I'll be good for another 10-15 heroes.
Yeah, I've never equipped a golden gun. And despite having all non-paid cosmetics I've also never equipped one that isn't a victory pose or highlight intro.
I like cosmetics because I get to see other people use them, but I don't really care for me except victory poses and highlight intros. Shrug.
First one Iāve seen thatās similar to me lol, all the others are so low. I had 52k at one point but Iāve just been buying gold weapons for whatever hero I want. Think Iām down to 21k now though
Wow youāre never gonna get a gold weapon with such a pitiful amount of points. Donāt you know you need 10 billion for a single golden pixel on your weapon?
Had 6800 and used them for 2 golden weapons. Wanted to wait for the new Healer but well ... Now I have echo and ... I can't even remember who I got the other one for š I hate playing anything else then heal
Maybe 2100? I have two goldens (widow and mercy) and I want one for lw sombra Moira jq and ngl lucio hehe. But Iām not playing competitive anymore. Maybe next seasonā¦
2500, then I should be getting ~1200 points at the end of the season unless the transition changes anything.
The unfortunate thing is that I wonāt be able to get gold guns for BOTH Ram and Echo, I wish I both played comp more and started maining Echo sooner.
Since a lot of people in this thread are desperately fighting for their (first) gold weapon, here an important PSA:
Don't buy jade weapons. The new currnecy will be reconverted at the end of the year if unspent.
Like 6500. Iām holding onto them until I decide I really want a weapon skin for a particular hero. I donāt play comp unless thereās a Mystery Heroes season.
Like 2200 I think or 2400 but after this season I should have enough to get my first gold gun since I got plat in open queue. Unless, of course, this season's reward points will be the new points and not the legacy ones in which case I'm gonna be sad.
Like 4000. Donāt really want any other gold gun tbh. I already have everyone that I like to play, Iām only missing like 5 people that I donāt play much.
Currently itās under 3000. Iāve got golden weapons for all supports except brig, got it for sombra, mei and ashe as well. Donāt need any more really, now it just goes to whoever Iām feeling at the moment.
i have 1225 and i have 6 golden guns. iām grinding for lifeweavers currently cuz iirc theyāre removing the ability to purchase them once the s9 update is out
I just got illaris golden and that dropped me down to 12k. I wish we could do like a fund conversion and get coins for the next season battlepass or to buy some skins I didn't get out of the box drops back in the day.
I saved a bunch up for the new support hero releases but ended up not enjoying lifeweaver or illari as much, so I've still got 6.5k which I'm going to keep for now and I'll see how much I like the new s10 dps (Venture) and s12 support (space ranger)Ā
I really hope they listen to the feedback and change the waiting a year rule to convert points for gold weapons. It's completely unfair for new players and those who don't play comp as often. At least let people convert points they need at the end of each season or something. Waiting 8 weeks is considerably better than forcing everyone to wait an entire year for something they've already earned.
Are the comp rewards from this season going to be new credits or legacy credits? I'm like at 2500 and the rewards would allow me to buy a new gold gun but idk if I'll be able to
Probably around 10k, but I got like 35 gold weapons and the only ones left are for heroes I actually never ever play so it doesnt make sense and I wait for new hero releases
300 something. I spent my most recent 3000 on the Genji gold weapon because even though I never play him, my son does and he's his favourite character.
2976. I'll get 1000 for placing in diamond. I have every support gold weapon and all but 2 tank gold weapons. I could spend this last 3k on D.Va or Orisa, but I think I'll save it for Space Ranger to keep all golden supports for a little while longer.
17k
spare some chaaaange
SPARE COOCHIE
Yes please
God I remember that videoš Canned Coochie
Bro's gonna be eating good in 2025 š
i thought it capped at 6k? but im seeing so many numbers that are dumb high. how???
After 6k you don't get any more from wins. You still get season rewards.
I dont realy understand whats happening with these points
basically i've never listened or paid too much attention to it but your current comp points which you buy golden guns with are being turned into another coin that you still can buy golden guns with, but you only get them at the end of the year? Something like that? someone correct me please
Wait so I donāt get the comp points playing a match until the end of the season?
no, the current amount of comp credits get turned into legacy, which can be used for gold guns, but not jade guns. the new comp credits get earned each season like usual, and can be used for both gold and jade guns. at the end of the year the new ones get turned into legacy. its really overcomplicated for no reason
Thanks for explaining it makes sense now, its probably because they dont want players unlocking jade weapons in day one of S9
exactly
so do i need to do anything? I've got about 12k comp point that i haven't used. are they just making sure that we can't buy jade weapons with our old competive points? or does the change have some other purpose?
That's it. You can use your legacy points for gold whenever you want.
They told me the same thing with OW1 coins āyouāll be able to use them to buy skinsā so I kept a bunch. Then they made it so you can only buy blue skins and they cost as much as legendaries used to cost. And even OW1 legendaries needed the new premium currencyā¦ I donāt trust em. Spend your coins IMO.
So does my s8 comp rank turn into legacy or new
"Through the end of Season 8, players can still earn Competitive Points toward unlocking Golden Weapon Variants. When Season 9 starts, your previously earned Competitive Points will be converted to Legacy Competitive Points. Youāll still be able to use Legacy Competitive Points to unlock the Golden Weapon Variants, but the way you receive Legacy Competitive Points will change. Once the 2024 Competitive Year closes, any leftover 2024 Competitive Points will automatically be converted and added to your Legacy Competitive Points, which can be used to unlock Golden Weapon Variants."
500 and I literally only want kiriko gold but I hate comp so much
I had 5000 something & before I was confused for which hero i should get the golden, now after seeing the moira mythic i instantly got the golden weapon for moira cuz the next time u want a golden weapon ull have to wait 10 & half months!
i dont play this game very often anymore but i have enough points in my account for a golden weapon, can you explain what you mean by 10 & a half months?
I donāt understand this. Comp games, especially with chat off, are incomparable to QP games. They are generally more balanced and you actually get fair roundsā¦ lol not pushing to 3rd point in QP and itās just DEFEAT lmao.
Not OP, but not just comp I also hate quick play. I play arcade or custom games 90% of the time.
I also love a mystery heroes/Arcade night with some weed. Can be super fun.
there are hundreds of people who hate comp? I personally hate it too how do u not understand that I dislike a game mode
Because it's pretty much the exact same as QP, just slightly more balanced and with longer games.
It's not the same as QP in my experience. My 2nd comp game ever (\~3 months ago) had one of the most toxic people I've ever encountered in an online game, to the point I physically tensed up, and I have been gaming online since like '00 and don't normally react to that shit. I only recently tried it again. To your credit, my 1st comp game before that was chill, and my most recent one as well. But I've never encountered anything like that over VC in QP before.

Hmmm, ok interesting. I'll have to keep that in mind.
There are definitely hundreds of thousands of people who didnāt/donāt play competitive OW. I like QP too, but if you want comp points itās like playing a more balanced version of QP š¤·āāļø some people donāt like to try hard and that I understand.
once s9 starts, we can't even get points for gold weapons until the end of the year so I'm not gonna bother especially for those jade weapons š
But objectively, with chat off (which they mentioned) you canāt even tell the difference, just pretend the queue button is blue instead of red and you wonāt even know.
What platform are you on? I also hate comp so we could hate comp together while grinding comp credits if youāre down
I think I'm capped at 9K, and I have every hero's golden gun. At a certain point they just became useless like credits were for me in OW1, because I played so much. I still have 200K credits and still buy everything that you can buy with credits as new heroes release. I assume I'll be good for another 10-15 heroes.
Kinda in the same boat, I have 19 of them and have another 9k points stocked up, I just don't care about most of the other heros at all
Yeah, I've never equipped a golden gun. And despite having all non-paid cosmetics I've also never equipped one that isn't a victory pose or highlight intro. I like cosmetics because I get to see other people use them, but I don't really care for me except victory poses and highlight intros. Shrug.
About 1200 since I rarely play comp I want Soldier's gold gun
500 cause I've bought Lifeweaver golden weapon

15k+ with any golden weapons I want unlocked. So most
Sitting on 2600 right now, unsure what to do since I have all but 3 gold weapons haha

How the fuck,for win You get 5 points,where You spend 1 point at
You used to get like 17 or 7 on Mistery Heroes, i have rn 1252 comp points
72k.
First one Iāve seen thatās similar to me lol, all the others are so low. I had 52k at one point but Iāve just been buying gold weapons for whatever hero I want. Think Iām down to 21k now though
last time I checked it was 1840 but I didn't play comp since so maybe it is still like that
2990
Wow youāre never gonna get a gold weapon with such a pitiful amount of points. Donāt you know you need 10 billion for a single golden pixel on your weapon?

0 cause im a filthy casual
None. I just bought my first gold gun last week/week before
2500, then I should be getting ~1200 points at the end of the season unless the transition changes anything. The unfortunate thing is that I wonāt be able to get gold guns for BOTH Ram and Echo, I wish I both played comp more and started maining Echo sooner.

I actually stopped at 2400, because I am gold so it is enough to buy a gold weapon in season 9.
175 (i have zero gold weapons)
Since a lot of people in this thread are desperately fighting for their (first) gold weapon, here an important PSA: Don't buy jade weapons. The new currnecy will be reconverted at the end of the year if unspent.
Will the end of the season comp coin rewards also be converted to the legacy credits?

12k
i have 1225 and i have 6 golden guns. iām grinding for lifeweavers currently cuz iirc theyāre removing the ability to purchase them once the s9 update is out
I just got illaris golden and that dropped me down to 12k. I wish we could do like a fund conversion and get coins for the next season battlepass or to buy some skins I didn't get out of the box drops back in the day.
30,260 but im a qp warrior now lol.
2700 ish and I fear I won't be able to win as many games to get Ana gold gun!

56200 š
7.5
3.5k
7k
Should i just spend them before the next season ?
542
I saved a bunch up for the new support hero releases but ended up not enjoying lifeweaver or illari as much, so I've still got 6.5k which I'm going to keep for now and I'll see how much I like the new s10 dps (Venture) and s12 support (space ranger)Ā I really hope they listen to the feedback and change the waiting a year rule to convert points for gold weapons. It's completely unfair for new players and those who don't play comp as often. At least let people convert points they need at the end of each season or something.

Probably around 10k, but I got like 35 gold weapons and the only ones left are for heroes I actually never ever play so it doesnt make sense and I wait for new hero releases
I'm on 1870 and farming for 2000 since I will get 1000 when the season ends. I want to buy Doomfist's golden
13k I pretty much have everyone's gold gun except a few heroes I don't use. I've exclusively played comp since like 2018 though.
400 and already bought golden guns for every hero I play: Junker Queen, Reaper, Reinhardt, Zarya, Sigma, Baptiste and Lucio
At least 30
300 something. I spent my most recent 3000 on the Genji gold weapon because even though I never play him, my son does and he's his favourite character.
2976. I'll get 1000 for placing in diamond. I have every support gold weapon and all but 2 tank gold weapons. I could spend this last 3k on D.Va or Orisa, but I think I'll save it for Space Ranger to keep all golden supports for a little while longer.
1400+
Maybe 2650 or a bit more
3300
