As i launched Overwatch 2 for the first time i was notified that “All your unopended Lootboxes from Overwatch 1 were opened for you”
" 2 Lootboxes have been opened"
I had way beyond 1000 unopened Lootboxes in my Overwatch 1 Account
How to proceed?
Did you play OW1 just before the end?
For the last month or so, they were auto opening boxes. So chances are they were opened for you, you just missed the pop up message.
Yes i was playing, i also was checking my boxcount everytime i logged into the Game wondering about how the would transition to OW2. I wasnt aware Blzzard planned to just shutdown the OW 1 Client.
A few month ago i thought about selling my Account so i counted all of my unlocked content. Its not more now as far as i can tell (only checked for 4 ow1 heroes).
Plus we know for a fact that a lootbox also comes with a chance of getting what nowadays is called “legacy credit” to spend on more cosmetics. The increase in legacy credit om my Account is also not consistent with opening 5 variations of of 12?? lootboxes.
Only think I can think is they just opened them for you and the message was bugged.
You’ll have everything that was in them, and the credits, so that should be ok.
That is probably because there was a lot of duplicate items in them.
I’m glad you didn’t do the sell, as that is against guidelines and the buyer could have gotten into a lot of trouble later.
Also, as blizzard stated that they would be opening all the lootboxes for you i’m not sure why you wondered about them moving over. You couldn’t even buy lootboxes for at least a month before the transition, that in itself is a pretty good warning.
