The largest beta ever will lead to the longest server delays ever.

Shadow 05-18-2016 05:54 PM

It is the curse of a Blizzard game of course. Always expect long log in times on launch day. Thankfully I have to work that day so they can work the kinks out while I'm serving planes. And if it still sucks, I got Far Harbor to bide my time with.

drave 05-18-2016 06:09 PM

Far fucking Harbor.

Been playing FO4 again recently in preparation.

Some guy did a technical breakdown for the art of this:

Interesting for those who like that kinda stuff!

#BROKEN Hasney 05-19-2016 10:54 AM

There might be a new hero unveiled on monday. The French launch events announced it, then claimed it was a typo... So maybe?

Kalyx triaD 05-19-2016 11:46 AM

Hell of a typo. What does 'new hero' even rhyme with.

I mean, that's pretty damn clear.

It seems like it's going to be a support sniper, which sounds like a hell of a thing, called Sombra.

They've done this before with characters like D.Va was on posters in the game before being announced.

Reaper also has a voice line asking where Sombra is when you need her. Then there was some hints on the Gamespot video talking about the development of the game, with a new sniper scope and even showing her on the character select screen under support, despite using a sniper rifle. Now they're teasing a new map, and we can probably see her.

Looks like there will be new shit for the final version after all.

Kalyx triaD 05-19-2016 12:57 PM

More. More. MORE.

VSG 05-19-2016 02:15 PM

Could be released in the upcoming animated short w/Soldier 76

alvarado52 05-21-2016 03:11 PM

Aaaand Gamefly just shipped out Overwatch to me, so no need to worry about day 1 purchase. I'll probably hold onto this rental for awhile until I stumble upon a good deal.

Fignuts 05-21-2016 08:08 PM

What system are youse guys getting this for? Maybe we can get a tpww crew goin

Shadow 05-21-2016 09:52 PM

PC master race here.

PS4 initially, but switching to PC once I move and have a decent desk.

Kalyx triaD 05-23-2016 11:34 AM

Xbox One. Should be on after 12am EST.

The game's community is currently trying to persuade Blizzard to officially include a fan made character into the game.

Whole thing started after Blizzard made their own fan art of a character created by a child which later caused a big boom in popularity within the community itself.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/shanehickey">@shanehickey</a> Our artists were so inspired by this that they created their own fan art!

Since then, Overwatch fans have been making their own detailed breakdowns of Birst, as well as hammering Blizzard with requests to put her into the game for real.

Shadow 05-24-2016 04:19 PM

Why the fuck not? There's like 2 real healers in the game though I think they might want to tweak her weapons a bit as she's basically doing Mercy's thing.

Cool King 05-24-2016 04:53 PM

I have no interest in Overwatch at all, but I do want to mention this amusing story.

Apparently there were "Overwatch Launch Celebrations" at cinemas around a few countries, with the one here in Scotland taking place last night, with tickets costing around £13 and a promise of "a behind-the-scenes look at the game’s lore and storytelling efforts" and "some pretty sweet swag".

It turns out that the videos that were shown were the same videos that are already on YouTube and the "pretty sweet swag" was a plastic cup.

alvarado52 05-24-2016 05:46 PM

lololololol

Shadow 05-24-2016 07:41 PM

Niiiiice.

Fignuts 05-24-2016 08:06 PM

Pretty much always vote for the healer at the end, since they never get play of the game. Medics desrve their props somehow.

Kalyx triaD 05-24-2016 11:02 PM

What happens when they win? More XP?

I vote for myself or somebody who really bust their ass. Numbers don't always reveal that.

Kalyx triaD 05-25-2016 03:43 AM

Me, khuntry and Figgy rocked it.

Fignuts 05-25-2016 04:13 AM

Last game was super intense.

Was pretty on with widow maker tonight.

#BROKEN Hasney 05-25-2016 04:15 AM

Fucking wrecked shit with Genji tonight.

drave 05-27-2016 06:57 AM

Possibly picking this up next Friday - Xbone

Fignuts 05-29-2016 03:38 AM

Just played against an entire team of mcreadys.

This is why you don't do that.

After I did it a second time, they ragequit.

Fignuts 05-29-2016 03:46 AM

Also had a clutch save with bastion. The payload was halfway on the platform, so I snuck in a corner, turret mode, and wrecked all of them since they were bunched up. Teamates got there a couple seconds later and pushed the payload out. Ended up winning after that.

Some great games with kalyx tonight.

Kalyx triaD 05-29-2016 11:11 AM

Yeah wild stuff. Pretty sure we were playing with my 8yo nephew now.

Fignuts 05-29-2016 12:13 PM

We need to do a custom game so we can confirm that widowmaker's poison one shots turrets

Nark Order 05-29-2016 12:56 PM

They should tweak their play of the game algorithm. Bastion is the easiest class to play and gets play of the game like 60% of the time

Kalyx triaD 05-29-2016 06:25 PM

They just need to lessen what constitutes POTG. Right now it's basically multikills.

Then again, a computer can never really understand where the tide has turned.

Fignuts 05-29-2016 06:29 PM

I think Mercy can get it if she ressurects several people at once.

#BROKEN Hasney 05-30-2016 04:29 AM

You can also get it by stuffing ults.

Honestly wish Lucio could get it for his ultimate. I've saved so many teams from ultimates by breaking it down."Justice rains fro-" "Oh let's break it down" and everyone survives.

And my personal favourite moment just for how pissed that guy probably was afterwards.

Fignuts 05-30-2016 05:25 AM

I don't think I've played another game where I want to hear the other team's mics as much as I do in overwatch.

drave 05-30-2016 08:07 AM

Miss playing the beta already watching your videos :(

alvarado52 05-30-2016 02:16 PM

Made the ultimate sacrifice last night as Reinhardt and tackled a self-destructing D.Va bot that was in the middle of our entire team defending the objective.
