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

[QUOTE=usaokay;49758255]Zarya best girl.[/QUOTE] Mei all the way ...Man I really wanna play this game

I'm baffled pre-orders don't even get access. That would fix the problem of no one finding matches in the Americas and Europe like... instantly.

Blizzard could easily make Beta Access exclusive to Origins Edition and they'd probably make more money and be thanked for it. I don't know whether it's admirable or foolish that they haven't done it already.

He'll probably complain and request a refund, not looking at the game again since it had "False hype" or some other shit. Just a few days ago I saw someone on the reddit complain how he didn't get access even though he pre-purchased the game

[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;49758682]pardon what is a flanking class, and how is mcree not a flanking class if that demarcation exists [editline]17th February 2016[/editline] you play mcree in the exact same way you play reaper - you wait in corridors or round corners until someone wanders round and you instakill them unless you're attacking in which case you wander round corners until you run into someone and then you instakill them if you try and fight out in the open with mcree, you're basically a worse soldier 76 but when you fight in close quarters you're better than reaper (you would have been right before new year, where mcree was so retardly broken he could beat widowmakers at long range and everyone played him as a fucking ridiculous jack of all trades) [editline]17th February 2016[/editline] his ult is pretty bad tho so there's that[/QUOTE] Mcree is a close range class (even though he shouldnt be) hes good at killing up close. A flacking class is a class like TF2s spy. Very easy to get them around maps and behind the other teams front line.

I can almost guarantee it.

I wonder how much loot boxes will cost (in real cash) when the game comes out. I want to hope they'll be fairly cheap because the game isn't F2P, but they still sell $25.00 mounts in WoW, and that's sub-based and has premium expansions, sooo...

I hope they end up selling in-game currency or the cosmetics directly instead of just the random loot boxes. I'd be more willing to buy the skins I want rather than paying a little less to gamble.

i've been compiling some of the best* suggestions i've seen from the overwatch feedback forums [img]http://i.imgur.com/bzk7dFr.png[/img]

These are the people playing the Beta. aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

When the game is finally released I'm going to have a hard time deciding between the Djinn and Ra skins for Zenyatta. Fuck, all of his skins even.

I like the idea of a minimap if it were limited to one character as a passive.

O beta invite, where art thou?

[QUOTE=Qaus;49768163]I like the idea of a minimap if it were limited to one character as a passive.[/QUOTE] Once you know the maps you're playing on well enough it'd be pretty much useless, wouldn't it? Unless enemies are supposed to show up on it, which is basically just widowmaker's ult but less convenient.

My overwatch updated... it got my hopes up but nope still no beta.

People who pick mercy in king of the hill doesn't deserve their beta key.

[QUOTE=Crimor;49770259]People who pick mercy in king of the hill doesn't deserve their beta key.[/QUOTE] Are you implying she's bad in KoTH?

[B]Unless enemies are supposed to show up on it, which is basically just widowmaker's ult but less convenient.[/B][/QUOTE] this is exactly the idea i had actually. like a much weaker version of widowmaker's ult, but constantly going and in the corner of the screen. CoD mechanics too, players shouldn't show up unless they're shooting. it's not for the sake of making maps easier to navigate, but enemy locations. [editline]18th February 2016[/editline] would probably be a good mechanic when combined with invisibility (which surprisingly isn't in the game at the moment)

[QUOTE=Keychain;49770288]Are you implying she's bad in KoTH?[/QUOTE] If there's only one support? Yes, she utterly pales compared to the aoe healing of lucio and the debuffing of zenyatta.

[QUOTE=Crimor;49770621]If there's only one support? Yes, she utterly pales compared to the aoe healing of lucio and the debuffing of zenyatta.[/QUOTE] Ehh situational but I see your point. Her revive can pretty much turn the entire tide of the game tho

So can keeping everyone alive in the first place :v:

I'm not in the beta, but I can at least sleep soundly knowing that the existing beta invites are not going to waste..... [t]http://i.imgur.com/gH0o659.jpg[/t]

I wanted to share an interesting series of events I experienced a few days ago. In school, I checked my e-mail to find out that I had been accepted into the Overwatch closed beta. In my elation, I looked over to my right to see my classmate checking his email with an expression much like my own, while talking excitedly with a friend of his - turns out, he had just been accepted into the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. Wow. GG. ...Well, I'm still excited for MY exclusive opportunity. Even if literal seconds after, I was reminded that it's still just a video game.

[QUOTE=Eeshton;49774852]At this point I'd rather get into Overwatch than college...[/QUOTE] Well on one side, you've got an experience that it seems like everyone wants in on, but ends up being uselsess in the grand scheme of things, that you can probably do without in your lifetime. And the other is Overwatch.

Oh of course I don't get into the Overwatch beta, but accidentally get into the Smite PS4 beta eight times

They let me into the Gigantic beta a few days ago, but alas no Win10.
