A sneaky French healer.
my sense of enjoyment from overwatch lore left so long ago I dont even care about these kinds of things anymore anyone else like this?
At this point I'm just happy with whatever new thing they give us. It is really a shame. Also, turns out there's hidden stuff in the letter: https://i.imgur.com/4l28EMX.png
Think they'll ever acknowledge more about how Sombra is a traitor? That story earlier heavily implied that she was feeding 76 info.
Interesting interview with french streamers alphacast & the overwatch lead character designer: https://medium.com/@ltgaila345/transcript-english-translation-of-alphacasts-interview-with-a-lead-character-artist-on-overwatch-73c6a4ddfdef There will be a skin associated with Paris apparently, they talk about the growth of the team, how map making tools for community like in WC3 are being delayed, and HOW CHU IS CURRENTLY WRITING A NOVEL for the game
Oh for goodness sake. Taking all bets for how many retcons there will be. Wagers start at 5 bucks.
I can sum up the story for you SOodier 76 has the big gay
Hah-do gay.
But the big plot twist at the end will be Soldier 76 revealing that he is bi-sexual.
The big twist is Soldier 76 will reveal she was straight all along.
Like for real, did you guys read Bastet? We made fun of Chu for retconning shit randomly on twitter, but the dude writes like a teenager. Regardless of the content in the short story, it felt like it was a high-school level creative writing piece, not something written professionally by a grown man.
Yes, and now I feel immense pity for the man instead of scorn.
Someone probably mentioned it already but it's weird, borderlining on dumb, that Ana has two personas she goes by as she secretly fights for justice in Egypt, Shrike and Bastet.
That's because games seem to let any old schmuck be writers for them. It's a universal problem.

Speaking of lore and such I got seriously distracted by how the gardener drones on the Paris map have the EU flag on their license plates... https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/211035/1d3f8bcc-b020-4e30-81a6-a9ca1e76f8e8/paveikslas.png ...while the regular hovercars seem to have their plates issued by XCOM's ADVENT. Looking at other European maps, Eichenwalde's car plates seem to have fallen off over the years and Rialto seems to be a car-free zone altogether. King's Row's plates obviously went all Global Britain.
My friend after telling her about this new hero: "*Gasp* do you think it's related to the new Paris map?" Oh I don't know.
Him trying to gaslight players was incredibly immature
He is definitely not a talented writers. Don't they have a writing team at blizzard? Why do we always blame him anyway?
Mister Chu isn't just any writer person, but the Senior Story Designer behind Overwatch. He is THE creator of Overwatch story wise and therefore leads the team of writers and has the final say on everything when it comes to story and lore. So if anyone deserves blame, it's him, not the other writers just doing their job. Also the bitterness doesn't come from making a mistake in the lore (making mistakes is only human after all) but the horrible way they handled it by going the highroad and saying that the players just understood it wrong by saying that it was a "common misconception".
Isn't Mark Metzen behind the vast majority of Overwatch? But anyway, thanks for the explanation. I see.
The theory that baptiste may be a voodoo-inspired healer is sick and I'd give anything for a baron samedi character http://cooldown.fr/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/smite_baron_samedi.jpg "Free your souls, to the other side!" DO IT BLIZZARD
Evil omnic do it you fucking cowards
I looked it up and the Omnic on the Talon Council is French in origin. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/129/0fd8e064-899a-4a30-900e-f6eff3a1ae7b/Maximilien[1].png Maximilien Doubt it's him though
I am a bit curious, would you all prefer another "hard" healer who can heal at a high rate continuously (ana/mercy/moira) or a more mixed healer (zenyatta/lucio/brigitte) who can only heal at lower rates or in spurts?
I do not care about what type of healer it is, unless it's something braindead like Mercy or Brigitte with a skill ceiling touching the skill floor.
I'd prefer one that has more mechanics than just healing, even mercy has her damage boost so she's not just healing all the time. So you have ways of contributing other than pumping heal juice into your rein's asshole.
