[QUOTE=V12US;50336678]Knowing how badly Blizzard fucks up its game launches and seeing as how Overwatch is online only, I wouldn't expect to actually be able to play the game until Friday next week anyway.[/QUOTE]
Starcraft 2 had an alright launch iirc.
[QUOTE=Crimor;50336705]the WoW release was pretty fucked if I remember right :v:[/QUOTE]
In my experience every single recent Blizzard release was completely fucked. They're never prepared properly for the amount of people who are going to come in and play.
Most recently this was my experience with their Warlords of Draenor launch: I took this screenshot in my Garrison - a 'solo hub for the player' where only invited people could come in.

Hopefully it will be funny as well, if the Overwatch servers lag at launch
If the servers could handle the free open beta they'll be fine on launch day.
One thing I really like about Overwatch over TF2 is that rare and decent items don't feel impossible to gain - like the loot crate system is consistent and gives you something to work for, whereas TF2'S drops are completely random
I could play hundreds of hours in TF2 and not a get a single hat but many people who played for a few days were showing off legendary skins they found

It seems you´re almost guaranteed a legendary skin every 10 levels, and you're not limited to a few amount of drop chances a week.
TF2 does let you craft two items to get a random item instead, which is something I wouldn't mind seeing with the legendary skins, but you know.

Im hoping they also don't do something what Valve did and tone down the drop rates of certain items. For example nowadays it's so rare to unbox a Knife, when compared to like a year ago. I see why they would do it, even after playing Overwatch for 3-4 days I got a legendary skin and a dozen legendary emotes/poses/POTG animations. I imagine it would sort of make the imaginary 'progression system via cosmetic unlocks' feel a bit lack luster if after two weeks I already have everything I've ever wanted.
All depends how lucky you are. I started getting duplicates on my 3-4th crate. :v:
so i noticed overwatch site got updated
they had fancy transparent icons for each character's face and their ult
so the next logical conclusion was to make a shitton of avatars for gold members of every overwatch characters icon and their ult (or equivalent power if it didn't look good in the layout), with their role on top
so for some stupid reason i created 42 avatars out of sheer "eh fuck it"
used the overwatch refrence guides for each heroes color
minimalist practice that took like 3 hrs straight enjoy
go nuts with them, confuse everyone on facepunch by having similar avatars, woop.

Thanks for the avatar, man
-snip, now that I think of it the current system is honestly just refreshing-
[QUOTE=Frosty_Avo;50336808]I kinda hope they tone down the drop rates a bit. Legendaries would be a much cooler thing to see and other, less rare skins would see a lot more use. They shouldn't be as rare as CSGO knives though.[/QUOTE]
imo only change really that i think should happen is more currency drops
i played like 30+ levels in overwatch and only got like 500 coins
The crate system is fine as it is. There is no trading system so Blizzard has no need to add fake rarity to this game to make things more expensive.
There should be more chances to get coins however.

I got to level 41 in the beta and only got about 600 total
Less boxes that are 3 sprays + a profile icon and more currency pls
Does anyone have an animated version of that Mercy and Pharah reaction image by Splashbrush?

So much porn out before the game even is
Not that I'm complaining, but blizzard must be proud about what they've done
[QUOTE=Grandzeit;50336542]TF2 killed itself for me after loving it dearly for 3000 hours.
Eventually you just kinda get bored of it, have to take a break and come back later. But you can't keep doing that forever.[/QUOTE]
3000 hours.
You know how long of playtime that is? Well worth the price if you ask me.

[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;50336604]Exactly, so I think ultimately we will see some manner of PvE gamemode implemented that furthers the story and gives Talon a purpose. I see three possibilities there in: TF2's Mann vs. Machine style, Killing Floor style, or Rainbow Six Terrorist Hunt style.[/QUOTE]
Something along the lines of Rainbow Six Siege's disarm bombs modes would be pretty good. There would be enough dudes to shoot, but also a large focus on objective based gameplay. Not to mention that it would turn into a mini horde game mode (like Mann vs Machine) if and when you start securing.
