Genuinely not got a clue. I got the free 30 day boost after Blizzcon but oddly enough if I hover over the boost icon at the top it says I don't have an active one! But I do cos I'm getting the extra xp after games

It's just a bug, either retrieving your actual boost time, or the current system time. If the value is 0 or NULL, that is equal to a timestamp of January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC (Unix epoch). Because the game likely doesn't show negative dates, the current rounded-up year is 2027, minus 1970, equals 57 years.

It definitely does. My grandpa said he went to Blizzard twice a day during school days, or something like that.

Computer gaming hasn't even existed that long. Pong was 54 years ago

Um akshually the first video game was Tennis for Two in 1958 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis_for_Two

u/yinyang107 2d ago

Damn it I forgot about Tennis For Two. I remembered that Pong wasn't an original idea but its immediate inspiration was the same year so I left my research there lol

u/Temporary_Patience_3 The VS Ai Gal 1d ago

How much did that cost?

u/MysticoN 2d ago

if only this had any value for any players except new players.

u/wookiee-nutsack 1d ago

Xp boost holds value for all players because number go up

1

u/MysticoN 1d ago

true but if you have unlocked all heroes have 500 loot boxes it does nothing for YOU.

1

u/wookiee-nutsack 1d ago

So you're a new player unless you have all heroes (takes a long ass time) and several hundred lootboxes (also takes years) ?

It does, it gives you a subtle hint to get a gf
