Hey, how is the main Overwatch page? The stub message is still there and I'm trying to add some meat to it, my question is, is the page presentable enough to remove the stub message.

Update: Do we have a page about "Loot Boxes", some games like Overwatch, now have them and I know they're different from the typical microtransactions.

First question, technical yes, but may want to wait till you put the rest up.

Second question, no, we could likely use that page.

Thanks, I'll put it, the stub template, back. There's still a lot of pages to add, like "Supplementary Materials" and I'm trying to currently work on the "Character Page."

Please note, I don't have the game on me, so even though I managed to add most of the stuff. - Most of the stuff will be focus on the lore. I won't be able to give it a complete shake and there's Battle.net client to think about.

Hey, there's characters from the Overwatch's version of Scream Fortress, but after reading the comics, the characters from the Junkenstein have different personalities from the actual characters, like Mercy is an evil witch, Junkrat is a mad scientist genius, etc. Do I create pages for the Junkenstein guys or do I merge them with the actual characters profiles?

Tropify the Loot Box entry, but good for a start.

The Overwatch page need a tad bit of cleanup, but looks good from where I'm sitting.

Anything else that the Loot Box entry needs before I plop it in the Trope Workshop? I know that the Supplimantal Material and the Character pages needs work, but is there anything that I am missing.

Guess I can remove the "This page needs more trope entries." now.

The Loot Box stuff can be moved to the Workshop, but do make sure to provide some examples for different media when you do.

Jade Shauni (talkcontribs)

So, it's ready to go. But I have to put a list of games, do you want me to go alphabetically with no genre or put genre? Also, I might need some help with adding examples though.

GethN7 (talkcontribs)

Whichever would look neater.

Good start. Make sure the markup for the workshop page matches our manual of astyle when you move that over, and wiki link all the games and try to give examples of their loot box mechanics.

Okay, besides the clean up. Please note I only played very few games in this list, but when I put it in the workshop please feel free to get rid of a game(s), if we never played it in our lives, or add to how the loot boxes are obtained.

Need help with some of the research when I post it in the workshop.

GethN7 (talkcontribs)

Well, I don;t play too many games with lootbox mechanics (save Girls Frontline), so I'll add what little knowledge I can.

Jade Shauni (talkcontribs)

Thanks, GethN7, I can only glean so much from their wikis.
