6v6 sounds dumb. It means they are going to try to aim for lots of cooperation, like Dota. It's better to turn it into a party like TF2, 8v8, 12v12. The most fun I had with TF2 was 16v16. At times a clusterfuck but the game felt more alive that way.
Whether 6v6 is better than 12v12 depends on the exact mechanics of the game of which people can't say much yet. But, yeah. Blizzard.No deathmatch, objective based
Im liking this idea
Pretty sure TF2 had no deathmatch initially.
anyone who likes big team battles in FPS just come off to me as people who suck at the genre and like the increased odds of scoring kills that comes with a larger player count.
Beta begins today
I got in!!
but I'm not gonna play it

Watch a good bit of it on Twitch. Seems incredibly simple (Too simple of an objective game imo) but it does look really fun with all the team fighting.
Apparently he slagged off WoW for a while, even though it's his main game as far as I know. So on the one hand he knows where his bread is buttered, on the other he doesn't, as proven by this sour grapes video.

My issue is they need to be more clear up front about what their future business model will be and I have a feeling they are not going to be.
I'm not going to buy a $60 dollar game and then later buy another $60 dollar pack to keep up with the new heroes. I'm not going to buy a premium priced game and then get looped into a never ending string of moba style DLC I need to purchase to keep up with the scene. That is one of my problems with Destiny (among others)

Isnt ut kind of the same with any shooter now?
I get your point though, kind of what makes me not commit to one shooter anymore. By the time id start to get the hang of it id have to buy dlc
I'm just assuming it's going to be like Destiny with $20 content packs every few months and $40 expansions once a year. If the game if fun and the community is big enough of PC, I don't mind paying that.
that'll be the same people who predict wow going f2p every year, eventually they'll be right in 5 years and say "told you so!" :doge

If you are playing with a co-ordinated team this is one of the most fun games in years.
If you are playing with randoms its the most frustrating game in years.
I know that could describe a lot of shooters but its really really the rule here.

This game fun. Mei is my waifu(http://i.imgur.com/ggoWQND.jpg)
I love playing Lucio : )
I just skirt around spamming shots while buffing health and spamming the AMP
It's kinda hard to tell when your heals are actually healing. Medic's medigun in TF2 had a nice sound and feedback to let you know you were healing. I played some Zenyatta and could barely tell whether I was healing or not.That used to be a big issue with Lucio but they added the little number in the middle of the screen to show how many people are in your AOE.
2 Fort is a trash map,
This game is really stupid.

Widowmaker is another good Bastion counter
Genji is the counter to bastion. He can reflect his bullets and kill him or dash behind him and kill him. So when you play better people you see that happen. But newcomers struggle with Genji as he is a harder character to play.
Didn't read Mei's hero abilities obviously because last night I found out she could freaking shoot ice crystals.... :lol My game went from great wall of china to killing fools. Also if you jump onto enemies and use Mei's recharge it does damage if you land on someone. I don't like when you're on a control point and use her recharge that it doesn't count. Anyways I got several play of the games last night which was awesome.
I can't wait for this to release. We should get some games going on!
for peeps playing on consoles, how hard is it to heal with Mercy with a pad?
Bastion players quickly figured out that if you put your back to the wall while in sentry mode,
I'm pretty sure you can only hear the enemy's High Noon / Ultimate

I had a Bastion on my team and before the capture point was open and people started approaching, we were in a corner and I was Mercy, healing him. We were both sitting there and I was just watching incredulously as he mowed down the entire team when they were unaware he was shooting from behind. :lol

It's so refreshing to finish a game in Overwatch and have people talking about plays they made as a team instead of ego stroking about how they went off that game.
Are we talking about the same game? No one is talking about how they're working as a team. Only when the team screws up do they bother mentioning the team. Everyone is playing for kills. Even the PotG is solely focused on kills.
Overwatch is awfully schizophrenic.
?? There is a way to look at your individual stats.well shit, thanks
Theres entire menus for it on the home screen (Career Profile), and if you press "back" (or whatever equivilant on PC) you can see your own individual stats at the bottom of the screen.

reaper get nerfed yet
D.Va - OBVIOUS, lower the radius of that ult... holy moly
:gurl Just hide behind an object dude. Even Mei's ice wall blocks it.
the audio on his ultreaper get nerfed yet
What's to nerf?
My changes I'd like to see:
McCree - The current elephant in the room. Maybe less damage when fanning the hammer, considering the usual combo of flash - fan - roll - fan can destroy tanks.
Torbjorn - When Torbjorn dies, his turret should die too, or maybe "deteriorate" since theres nobody to bang it with a hammer.
Bastion - lower Ammo when in turret mode, or longer reload time. Slower turn speed? 100 bullets????
Zenyatta - Could use some more health, can currently get bodyshotted by Widow. At least be able to survive that, hes PLENTY squishy as is. I'd love to play this guy more but he's just TOO squishy for me, even more than a Mercy!
D.Va - OBVIOUS, lower the radius of that ult... holy moly
Symettra - For a "support" character she has no form of healing like all the rest. What? Mark her a Defense char like Torbjorn and buff her accordingly then. I like playing Symmetra on some maps but once you place the turrets you feel immediately useless. You are too squishy for fighting and all you can mostly do is spam Orbs and hide in a corner waiting for someone to tag with your gun. Maybe there should be a way to set up "healing" turrets and "attack" turrets?
Winston - No immediate issues, but maybe his shield could use a slight uptick in health. I think this was nerfed in the beta because of the double/triple winston effect. Shield still feels useless when I see it used (I've never played Winston yet). Maybe its not being used correctly.
Mei's healing cocoon does not guard against it though.
it kinda does :gurl :ufup
I hate when I think I've sidestepped Hanzo's ultimate and I'm watching the dragon pass by and just die out of nowhere
-nobody- likes skill based matchmaking in a casual game mode. A lot of games do this lately, too.
Once the competitive game mode comes out, I'm sure all the tryhards will flock there and the ceiling will lower just a tad.
Also do people actually try to accomplish the objective of various maps or is it just kill matches.
McCree is pretty straightforward. What we're looking at right now is his fan the hammer damage. We're going to reduce it. The goal there is to make it so that McCree can still use his combo that we love, which is the flashbang and fan the hammer on somebody like Tracer. McCree should absolutely kill that Tracer. We want McCree to be a counter to people like Tracer, Genji and Reaper. What we're not crazy about, right now, is the way in which McCree can absolutely shred tanks. It's a little too easy, so we want to bring the fan the hammer damage down, so he's still killing the squishies and the medium strength heroes, but he's less effective against the tanks. If he times everything perfectly and gets every single shot off, he's got a shot against a tank, but it's not the instant 'I win' button that it is right now.
With D. Va, we're still in exploration mode. There's a couple of directions we could take her and it's still unclear which direction we'll go. Obviously her damage has come into question from a lot of people. You have to be really close to do effective damage with D. Va and we might look at that. We might also look at her survivability. A lot of time, D. Va can get herself into situations where she's a tank and it feels like she should be there, but then she gets knocked out of that mech so quickly. We probably won't do a bunch of buffs to her damage and her survivability; we'll probably pick one direction or the other, but right now, we've been exploring both.
We've tried high-damage D. Va with lower survivability. She's almost more of a skirmisher. We've tried other directions, like not buffing her damage, but buffing her survivability. I think the D. Va buffs will take a little bit longer for us to get to, but the McCree balance changes should come sooner. D. Va's not in a horrible place, we just feel like she could be in a slightly better place, whereas McCree is causing a lot of concern in the community and we want to make sure they know we're responsive.
Whats the outrage with the microtransactions? It's just skins and sprays.
Seriously if you can't handle not having such crap then seek help.
So much outrage a company came up with a business model that will ensure they make money and provide long term support without splitting the player base with paid DLC map packs etc.
I sometimes wonder what all these outraged people do for work.

Kind of regret getting this on PC now that I have a PS4 again.
I play solo all the time with no mic and my win ratio is better than most of my friends on Live. I haven't been on that many shitty teams. And I'm usually one of the last people to choose who to play as because I try to pick a character to complement the rest of my team or to fill a role that it doesn't have.
dumb shit.
Its not that I "refuse" to play them - its that I cant
Do I want to be that scumbag who picks Widow or Hanzo when its not necessary? Or do I play the team and run Lucio or Zarya

was this on console or PC??
Torbjorn's getting the HAWT nerf on console. 30% reduction in turret damage.
it's been obvious from the very beginning the problem was that the turret does a lock-on far too fast
the damage was fine
i swear blizzard is braindead
how fucking obvious is it that the 'nerf' should have been a slowdown in the lock-on, and basically make it behave like a sentry in TF2
the damage was never that big to begin with, now it gets nerfed
absolutely embarrassing

Blizzards changes so far have been excellent. Not the fastest but they've made the correct adjustments so far.
Skill rank changes from 1-100 to 1-5000 to better differentiate player skill.
(Re)introducing Skill Rating Tiers. I.E your Golds, Plats, etc.
Competitive point gains and gold gun costs multiplied by 10. Also applies to your current point bank.
Coin toss is go away, all sudden death is going away.
Big changes to how Assault works, especially the bonus time format.
Time bank system is going to be applied on Payload maps, there is possibility of tie but should be extremely rare.
Both team will have some comp points with a tie, just not as much as a win (keep in mind a win awards 10 CPs now).
Subsequent "assemble your team" time after the first round is reduced.
Skill rating difference between players when teaming up is significantly reduced, now 500 within the 1-5000 scale, equivalent to 10 in the 1-100 scale.
Diamond, Master and Grandmaster division players' skill rating will now decay, if you don't play the game for 7 days, your SR will drop 50 ratings every 24 hours. Bottom floor is Diamond, won't drop below that.
Top 500 now requires 50 matches minimum.
Is that true? I placed at 54 and figured it was ass

As you can see in the Error-Level Analysis image, the detailed, opaque areas of the character appear to have the same error level as other detailed, opaque parts of the image, such as Junkrat's gun, the HUD, etc. The translucent parts of the character appear to have the same error level as the background behind it. This seems to indicate that this is an original, unedited screenshot taken directly from the game.
It would be easy enough for Blizzard to implement: make it a random event with an extremely low probability; across millions of players, it would still happen enough to be seen by someone.
I hope it isn't real, that's a hideous character design...
Shadiness aside, anyone try Paladins? Thinking I might give it a try since Hi-Rez is pretty legit (Tribes: Ascend was dope).

What exactly is fun about the mode?I liked Junkenstein the most, but I still like Mei's Snowball Offensive. It's fun to play with friends, and a nice break from the other modes. It's way less fun playing with randoms though.
When are Blizzard going to allow achievements in every other mode in the game? There are like 20 game modes at this point, why can I only unlock them in Quick Play or Comp?Just got this in the snowball offensive though.I guess it counts as "quick play" since it isn't in the Arcade.
And good job, that one is a bitchIt was just pure luck in my case. I didn't bother with the achievement since it sounded horribly difficult. But I saw someone with their back against me (probably reloading/waiting) and just thought "I wonder how hard it would be to hit them from here". They were reloading in the middle of the map, so the line of sight was pretty straight forward.
All I did was go to the side and kobe a shot to the upper floor from below, since someone usually tries to set up there.If you stay behind the others a bit and aim for the ones who wasted their shots on your teammates (RIP), it's probably possible. You can wall behind them and stuff, especially inside the building on the sides.
I got the "go 3-0" achievement as well. Idk how you are supposed to get "4 shots without missing" unless you play passive as fuck, along with "hit 3 people while they are sucking up snow"

Wow just played with full headphones for the first time, that's definitely the way to play this gameBeen using speakers? How did you survive enemy footsteps?
No, everything on the internet is serious. :-*How did you survive enemy footsteps?
joke post? enemy footsteps in this game are comically loud as fuck
Any personal/general Reinhardt tips to give? I feel like being decent with him would be very essential for most situations and maps.
Maybe that's why it's been hard to get into him, I always play solo since I don't know too many people who play when I do. I usually stick with D.Va, because it works regardless, ESPECIALLY when someone is actually healing me. So I guess Rein is squishy when no one pays attention to him? Oh well.. I'm just trying to decently learn 2ish heroes from each role so I have more options to feel comfortable with.
It definitely helps when you know what abilities all the heroes have (or at least an idea of what to watch out for, especially when you hear their Ultimate voice line), and what they look like, even in different skins. It helps even more when you know how to play them, but it takes a looooot of time and effort that way. OW was extremely confusing for me at first (I'm an MMORPG person), and I never understood what was happening in all the gifs and POTG videos people posted online in the beginning.
OW is a lot of fun in Quick Play though. Bonus to you for living in Asia, because the NA server can be quite toxic. I went there before to play with NA friends, but the attitude was terrible a lot of the time. So I just stick with Asia, plus the ping is nice!
There are a lot of cheaters in Asia OW, but I can't say it's game-ruining? It's not like every match I play have them. Sometimes it's hard to tell if the cheaters are on your own team, or if you're just playing with someone good. At least Blizzard Korea recently banned over 10k people. Whether they'll all come back or not, we'll see. It's probably veeery different for comp though. I played some season 2, and it was very hard to communicate with people.It definitely helps when you know what abilities all the heroes have (or at least an idea of what to watch out for, especially when you hear their Ultimate voice line), and what they look like, even in different skins.

OW is a lot of fun in Quick Play though. Bonus to you for living in Asia, because the NA server can be quite toxic. I went there before to play with NA friends, but the attitude was terrible a lot of the time. So I just stick with Asia, plus the ping is nice!
weird, all I hear about is exodus to NA servers because of rampant korean hackers
Haven't seen anything that's clearly hacking on xbl. There was an exploit that let Mei go out of the map on the 3v3 map but I think they fixed it and suspended folks who used itStill happening on PS4 and it drives me up the wall (no pun intended :doge)
I wanted to grind some boxes on arcade last night but shit man, 3v3 is dumb, capture the flag is dumb, total mayhem is alright but I feel like I win every time just by spamming healing with Lucio and bumping people off the payload
finally sat down and played this for real thanks to the free weekend and god DAMN this is the most fun ive had with an fps since Wolfenstein Enemy Territory. just amazing!Welcome to Lootwatch. :lol
Ugh, yet another KotH. Give us more escort maps! :maf

First person to reply to this post gets a code for a golden Overwatch chest.Hi! ..they come as codes, or are you trolling? I wanted the Prime deal but it's not available in my country.
If any of you are on Twitch Prime, free with Amazon Prime, there's a mess of lootboxes as the giveaway right now.
No Terry Crews though? Sad panda.
Have they fixed earning achievements in Arcade yet?No, but they added the arcade stats to the career profile. Why do you want it? Seems easy to abuse.
That and I can pick what character I want to get the achievement on without hurting the team by picking a shitty character in Quick or Comp (Widow, Hanzo, etc)Meh, it's just QP. Which achievement are you aiming to get? I doubt anyone will die of 1 bad game, and I doubt you'd ruin a whole game to get it.

Does this game still cost 80 bucks on pc? Is there a trial I can use? If not can someone let me use their blizzard account so I can dl the game and try it on my pc? Because playing the console version sounds :dogeI have a second account I was gonna smurf on but don't care for. My friendlist is empty too so you can borrow it in peace (if I manage to remove my real name from the account you can just have it).

Wrote you a PM but can't remember if I sent it or not. I checked the account and unfortunately there's some sensitive info in the billing history that I can't seem to delete, so I wouldn't feel comfortable lending it out. If it was just my name I wouldn't care, but a part of my CC info is there too since I used that to buy the game.Does this game still cost 80 bucks on pc? Is there a trial I can use?

Thanks! I really just want to try Overwatch! It'd be appreciated!

Anyway it's only $40, but maybe someone else can help you out with the testing. Maybe try the PTR? Dunno if that'll work without an account though.
Resurrect 4 players at once with Mercy in Quick or Competitive Play.
Only played one round each to get the loot boxes but DM and TDM were pretty fun I thought
ETA: I'm really enjoying the lowered frequency of repeats in loot boxes

The annoying mercy team rez is gone.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40hln85PONYI am looking for a real life or internet girlfriend because I recently broke up with my other girlfriend because some guy on facebook kinda convinced me he was a girl.

Just fucking kill me
Hey all,
Thanks for all of the discussions here on the game. We've been reading as much as we can and appreciate all of the passion.
Sorry we haven't posted as much as we usually do lately. We've been working really hard on some pretty awesome stuff for Blizzcon and we're super excited to share it all with you next week!
I know some of you have concerns about some issues in the game so I wanted to just take a quick minute and tell you what our current focus is internally.
We've been discussing the state of the Mercy rework a lot and listening to all of the feedback. Overall, we feel like the new direction for Mercy is much better for both Mercy and non-Mercy players. But we do feel like she's too dominant right now. In particular, we feel like the resurrect ability is changing the tone of the game to a degree which is simply too powerful. As such, we're experimenting with different toned-down versions of the ability. After all, resurrect is no longer an ultimate and is now an on-cooldown ability so it needs to be less powerful. I know that you're going to want more details but we're nearing a point with internal iteration where we feel comfortable putting something on the PTR soon. We'd rather have you play the changes than theorycraft them.
Another topic that we've been focused on a lot lately is Competitive Play. We don't have immediate changes to discuss right now but we're closely studying issues and perceived problems with the system with an eye toward improvement. Along with that, we talk a lot about matchmaking within the competitive system. We have some plans that should improve some issues that players are seeing -- especially at the high end of the skill rating spectrum. We have long and short term plans for Competitive that should hopefully improve the experience over time. We're hoping that we can get more of these changes in at a faster pace rather than waiting for major milestones. Some of the matchmaking work we want to do is strictly done on our servers which means that we don't have to wait for a big patch to go out. Again, I know you want more specific details but game development is a process and we're actively discussing and iterating on ideas and systems right now.
The third big focus that's being discussed is toxicity. A lot of what we do here we cannot and will not discuss publicly. The more players understand about how these systems work, the more they will be able to game them. There have been a lot of improvements in this area and the number of actioned players continues to rise. The more we restore your faith in our systems, the more we hope you use them (talking about reporting here specifically). We're also hoping to have player feedback in the game when someone you reported was actioned by the end of the year. The email pilot program has gone well so far and we keep trying to expand that until we get the in-game system up and running. Please keep using the reporting system. I swear to you, it does work and we're really focused on improving it. But we need your help.
Obviously, there is a lot more going on besides the three topics I brought up. But I think those three things are some of the issues the community as a whole is most concerned about and therefore I think those should be my team's top priorities. We have a ton of cool, fun stuff coming -- some of which will be announced at Blizzcon. And we're also really proud of some of the work we just completed to make spectating esports better. World Cup should be pretty cool and will teach us a lot for when it comes to improving spectating in the future.
We really appreciate all of the passion you've shown for the game. We're lucky to have players like you.
All the best,
ow team
