Overwatch - The world needs heroes, and Blizzard needs a TF2 game! - Games

[QUOTE=mickers;50142403]i feel like the balance has got worse since last beta weekend, bastion can do 360 now?!?, any all of my games seem to be a stomp fest, u either win really hard or lose really badly[/QUOTE] Yeah I played a little bit last week, before this beta weekend, and they removed Bastion's shield and allowed him to turn 360, and also gave him more health. I think it's terrible honestly, but it might just be a knee-jerk reaction. I dunno, but I don't really wanna bother getting used to it, I don't like it.

[QUOTE=Streecer;50141864][t]https://i.imgur.com/ket4oeb.png[/t] Not sure how accurate this is, but there's a huge poll on reddit showing the distribution of invites, looks like eu got shafted[/QUOTE] Looks like it is based on this survey: [url]https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/4evwbv/answer_this_google_doc_form_when_you_know_if_you/[/url]

Damn lucio is god tier, went from the biggest losing streak in the planet to stomping every game

So I made a distribution overview based on the current data from the survey since the image was older and only based on around 5k people. [t]http://i.imgur.com/zrdG9dN.png[/t] Now with 17k responses.

Anybody knows how this happened and how I can remove it from my screen? [t]http://puu.sh/okpyU/c07095e056.jpg[/t] Tried restarting the game but that's not working.

Pretty sure at the bottom of the controls list there's a keyboard shortcut to toggle it on and off

I really hope Blizzard does something about stacking multiple of the same character, Fighting more than one bastion is bullshit.

i have really mixed feelings on that. on one hand, i hate being limited to one of each character because it leads to insta-picking and people hogging their favorite. on the other hand, two bastions can completely steamroll. i dont know how to solve both of these problems at the same time.

Find the netgraph keybind in the settings menu.

Why is europe so specifically getting shafted? Does blizzard have something against us?

People that play Mei should have their beta revoked What the fuck do you even do against the ice gun there is literally no defense for being instantly frozen and stuck for 10 seconds

I mean, I know it sounds so weird but I just want to be allowed to play the game I payed you money for!

Blizzard has shafted EU for a long time now, ever since WoW at least we have been "second class" for them.

[QUOTE=Nemisis116;50142918]People that play Mei should have their beta revoked What the fuck do you even do against the ice gun there is literally no defense for being instantly frozen and stuck for 10 seconds[/QUOTE] either it should take way more hits to freeze someone like that, or make the weapon not a beam so its not so incredibly easy to hit people, or something like that

[QUOTE=nask;50143020]Blizzard has shafted EU for a long time now, ever since WoW at least we have been "second class" for them.[/QUOTE] eu got shafted so much in hearthstone that at one point they gave them 3 free cardpacks as an apology for shafting them :V

His balancing may be questionable, but man I love Bastion.

[QUOTE=Skyward;50143080]His balancing may be questionable, but man I love Bastion.[/QUOTE] He's mad fun, probably my favorite hero. Even if they gave him the nerf hammer, I feel like I'd still enjoy turning into a turret around odd corners to eliminate people,

[QUOTE=Skyward;50143080]His balancing may be questionable, but man I love Bastion.[/QUOTE] Is Bastion really OP? I haven't played the game but from what I've heard it's just a matter of knowing how to counter him. Again haven't played the game, but would using Reinhardt's shield to block his bullets, or his pin to knock him off point, or Widowmaker picking him off at a distance help at all?

Bastion dishes out insane DPS and if you can't spot him before he spots you, chances are that you are going to die by the time you try to react. He's already been nerfed once from what I hear. But he's still a good defensive powerhouse.

I really hope that Pharah gets a skin with real wings

[QUOTE=mickers;50142403]i feel like the balance has got worse since last beta weekend, bastion can do 360 now?!?, any all of my games seem to be a stomp fest, u either win really hard or lose really badly[/QUOTE] I noticed that too. It's pretty ridiculous considering Bastion's DPS. A friend of mine set up as Bastion and I healed him behind cover as Mercy, toggling between health and damage when necessary. He got a 15 kill streak before finally going down and it was play of the game.

[QUOTE=Zeos;50143701]I really hope that Pharah gets a skin with real wings[/QUOTE] Isn't she Egyptian? They should make her a skin of the goddess Isis or something. She has wings.

[QUOTE=Masamune;50142381]How are you saving currency? I'm not getting any at all.[/QUOTE] Every level up you get loot crates. Sometimes you get something called "currency" which are like coins. You get about 50 I think when you get the currency. I just kept hold onto it until I had enough for an animation. The currency is used to unlock specific skins, animations, etc that you want from the hero gallery.

You can get different amount of currency depending on the drop's rarity. I got 150 from a purple drop in one box earlier.

[QUOTE=Skyward;50143913]You can get different amount of currency depending on the drop's rarity. I got 150 from a purple drop in one box earlier.[/QUOTE] really dislike that, would rather have just a small amount of currency earned per match, dont want a grind inside a lottery.

Are we actually going to keep any of the items we unlock in the beta when the real game comes out?

[QUOTE=mickers;50144173]really dislike that, would rather have just a small amount of currency earned per match, dont want a grind inside a lottery.[/QUOTE] Yeah. Maybe not even per match, but per level. Just something a little more consistent. I would also liked to see something like Heroes of the Storm's challenges. Each day you get a new challenge that earns you a bit of currency, and you can have up to three active challenges at a time. At least you level fairly quickly so getting boxes isn't too much of a slog. Though that could be boosted for beta purposes.
