Details about Overwatch 2: new balance, transfer of luteboxes, guilds ...

Developers Overwatch 2 answered users' questions Reddit. We have selected some interesting ones: 

• All the in-game currencies you earn from Overwatch will move to the second part. But luteboxes will not be transferred - before starting the sequel, all unopened boxes will be automatically opened, and their contents will go to your inventory
• The main thing OW2 will become a new currency, and not all things in the game can be purchased with funds imported from OW1.
• After the release in early access, the new shooter will "replace the current service" - apparently, support for the first part will be discontinued.
• In the second game, Symmetry's abilities will be adjusted - in particular, the creation of teleports will take less time, and the shells will fly faster when using the alternative firing mode. So, Blizzard wants to increase Symmetry's mobility and fit it into a five by five format.
• IN Overwatch 2 the authors have abandoned the unpopular "Assault" mode in the community, but maps for it will still be available in user battles. They are not going to adapt them to other regimes yet - if they do, only in the distant future and after thorough tests with the participation of the community.

• The developers do not intend to reset the MMR of players, but will introduce a new system under which the rating will be reduced if the user does not play for some time.
• In matches c OW2 player levels will not be displayed, but this figure will remain in their profiles.
• Blizzard will update old biographies of characters and add fresh ones.
• IN OW2 implement cross-progress with the ability to transfer their skins from the original from any platform.
• For PvP first Overwatch about 1,200 lines were recorded, which the heroes exchange before the fight. IN OW2 a small number of old phrases and more than 1800 new ones are used.
• At the start of OW2 three new fighters will be available. According to Blizzard, this is all that the studio will have time to cook - it does not have a "secret storage" where it hides ready-made characters for the coming seasons. There are fewer beginners than the community would like, because initially the team's efforts were divided between PvP and PvE. To gain speed, Blizzard more than tripled the team Overwatch 2 and restructured. Now the hero is almost ready for the second season, and three more, including two support fighters, are in various stages of testing.
• IN OW2 want to add more social systems. One of the priorities for developers is the guild system, but the details and timing of its emergence are currently unknown.

Overwatch 2 will be released in early access on October 4, and the next beta test will launch on June 28.
