So far I’m enjoying it! It has a soft progression limiter where you get cursed in such a way that monsters get increasingly more damaging every encounter… this goes away after you run into this person a few times.

My only concern is that I’ll feel the need to replay it once all of the content is there… which I guess isn’t too bad!

Ah yeah I could see that. My family got into it for a few months and was a lot of fun. I did have pretty good experiences with randos though.

Maybe give FFXIV a try! There’s a pretty expanded free portion that lets you play through a large portion of the game. I enjoyed the gameplay and there’s something resembling a story.

Gotcha! Thanks for the clarification!

I just recently started playing OW2 again after several years. I was able to unlock all of the heroes just by playing. I didn’t pay anything. My kids also have unlocked the vast majority without paying anything.

Is the only difference here that you won’t have to get to level 30 or whatever on the free tier battle pass?

Only the cellular iPads have the eSIM. The standard WiFi ones do not. Since iOS covers both of these devices, older models, and folks who choose not to have a carrier despite having the ability to do so, I don’t believe this would be a partial solution at best.

Interesting thought! This wouldn’t work for iPads and iPhones with no sim (but use WiFi) though

I’m really interested to see how they’re going to region lock this. Will it be where the device was sold? Does that comply with EU regulations? Will it be geographical location? If I move to the US, will it lock the side loaded apps? If I grab a VPN can I side load things?

Until I realized where I was, I was pretty hyped for whatever insane festival this would have been.
