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

I'm hearing that the flagging should be starting/ending in a hour.

I hope I get to try this weekend at least, it's the one thing that's keeping me from pre-ordering.

[QUOTE=Rummy.SM;49146433]I'm hearing that the flagging should be starting/ending in a hour.[/QUOTE] permanent flags or weekend flags?

[QUOTE=Vmonkey;49146556]permanent flags or weekend flags?[/QUOTE] Pretty sure it's just the weekend test. I imagine though that if you get a weekend tag, anytime they do a weekend event you'll be in it.

They will be testing various stuff including specific hardware and specific regions during them. To the point where beta testers might not get into a beta test weekend.

one thing i watched on stream is that reinhardt could charge an exploding D Va mechsuit, might be useful in a time crunch anybody else know of any interactions like that?

Charging the suit would be a super cool clutch play, but it isn't particularly useful.

but it seems in character for rein, niche play but still fun imo

WHAT!. i got into the weekend test, god i hope this doesnt get disabled after the weekend. I still have the prepurchase option in my account management on battlenet website, but on the client i can install it.

At this point, these players will also no longer be able to create new threads or reply to existing topics in our beta forums.[/URL] I mean, it was kinda clear.

I am jealous. :(

I got in as a regular tester, and I've gotta say, it really is quite fun. It's definitely something I would pay for Its nice that there are multiple different characters for each role, and every character feels unique. I feel like there are a lot of imbalances at the moment, but that could also be me sucking. As for the people bitching about it not being f2p, I can't really say much. I personally feel that it's worth paying for, but I also remember being a teenager/broke 20 year old and bitching about paid games. Granted, at 23 with two jobs I'm not much better off, but I can afford a game or two, and I understand the need for charging for the effort and time put into video games.

checked this thread, realized they were giving out beta invites, checked battle.net, downloading game <3

[QUOTE=Ricenchicken;49148037]checked this thread, realized they were giving out beta invites, checked battle.net, downloading game <3[/QUOTE] I did the same except the last part is killing myself instead

[QUOTE=Killer monkey;49148060]I did the same except the last part is killing myself instead[/QUOTE] Presumably they are still sending out keys. You'll know when they stop because they'll mention the wave being over on their Twitter account.

Is the origins edition a limited time offer?

[QUOTE=Skyward;49148238]Is the origins edition a limited time offer?[/QUOTE] Most likely, if their other games are of any measure.

Well, thought they were giving out betas later. Went to go check and i still didn't get in, hope everyone that did has fun.

i keep starting up and closing battle.net every once in a while in hopes that i get to play this weekend so far i'm fucked.

My hopes and dreams. Slowly vanishing

is everyone supposed to get it at once or is it delayed over the day?

[QUOTE=Vmonkey;49148432]is everyone supposed to get it at once or is it delayed over the day?[/QUOTE] It's delayed like the others. The PlayOverwatch Twitter will tweet when all of the invites have gone out.

Just checked at the last second and I guess I finally got flagged, make sure you restart your client once or twice just to be sure.
