Kai Tave posted:I swear that way back last year they datamined out voicelines that suggested such a mode was coming down the pipe, multiple characters talking about upgrading their gear, Winston had a voiceline about "leveling up" or spending experience because he's a huge nerd, etc. Nothing's come of it so far but it seems they at least laid some preliminary groundwork for it. Might just be lines for a gamemode or some kind gear system that got scrapped and it's easier to just leave the unused voice lines in the game than it is to remove it funnily enough. There's also voice lines for the annoucer to go up to rounds like 18-20+ so hurrah for that

They originally had plans for a leveling system and ammo pickups that both got scrapped for not fitting their "is it fun philosophy". I hope they never add leveling up or upgrades in anyway because the fun is that everyone is on even footing.

I had a mei on my team for expert Uprising last night and thought she was trolling at first but it actually kinda worked. I wouldn't call her a great pick but she was able to freeze the shield guys and bastions so that the rest of the team could wipe them and her ult is a good stall tactic. Bastion is amazing except for two things: his ult is pretty useless and you can get killed real quick in turret mode if you get unlucky and draw a bunch of aggro.

exquisite tea posted:E: If Blizzard had a rotation of 5-6 co-op maps going on in the Arcade I'd probably spend more time there than in PvP. I always assumed the Junkstien brawl was the testbed/hint of bigger pve stuff to come, and when this first started getting rumoured/leaked I was figuring we'd see that payoff - a somewhat more proper pve thing, so I was a bit disappointed to find out it was a singular pve level. That said, it's pretty darn fun and the positive reception to CTF got that turned into a permanent arcade fixture with multiple maps, so who knows, maybe we'll see something similar here. I really like that they gave us an all heroes mode too. Orisa is way more fun in this mode then Rein.

Everyone here seems to like the PvE mode but I didn't really enjoy it. I played on normal, it was very boring, and I kept hoping it would just end. I guess I'll try on one of the harder levels but I don't have a desire to get a group together to actually try so ehhhh.

I played on hard and thought it was a little too easy so normal is probably not the ideal experience. It's repetitive and I wish the beginning moved a bit faster since it's piss easy on any difficulty until you hit the payload. But I do find it entertaining to experiment with different comps.

If you find expert to be a "mild challenge" you seem to be getting far more coordinated teams than me.

I guess so? I haven't really had any problems with the pubbies it matches me up with yet, though it seems like every second game one of the pubbies has a horror story about a previous widow + sym + hanzo attempt. Guess I'm just lucky lol edit: oh also I'm talking about the all heroes version when I call it a mild challenge, it's fairly beefy with the default four.

Expert isn't too bad except for the very end of getting the payload charged up which can be pretty rough and fighting the Orisas at the end. Twice now I've made it to the last two Orisas but they just stand behind their shields dropping ults while infinitely spawning tank bastions absolutely decimate anyone that goes out to try and damage them. That seems to be the real brick wall.

The problem isn't difficulty, AI just isn't interesting to play against. You can't juke it or surprise it or do anything of the things that make playing against human beings rewarding.

I mean, I get where you're coming from but the popularity of horde modes in gaming over the past 10 or so years indicate that a lot of people do find fighting AI rewarding.

I wish they hadn't built the PvE thing around a team with Torbjörn in it, maybe then it wouldn't revolve around repeatedly sitting in place for minutes until a timer ticks over.

Guess I'm just lucky lol I've had three different teams wipe on the Orisas on NORMAL. Okay, one time it was kinda sorta my fault too because I tried doing a cheeky teleport to kill a Bastion, but I was bored, okay. The other two times people rushed into the payload area and imploded while I just stood there going "how".

It'd be cool if you could edit the PvE event to have custom rules in the server browser. Being able to set up a forced character selection/playstyle with certain difficulties (enemies move faster but have less health, waves spawn faster but defense is only 1 minute instead of 4).

I'm still trying to decide if Pharah is viable or not. Her splash damage is nice but the problem is if you try to take to the air at all you end up getting wiped really fast. That said, she's a real asset at the very end because she can safely snipe the Bastions and can use the covered room above the final arena to shoot down at the Orisas.

The key to Symm is place turrets around ult so robots walk into a deathtrap, then follow Rein around all game complimenting his huge splash damage.

I'm wondering if any of the skins from older holiday loot boxes will ever become available again. This halloween will they have new halloween skins and stuff along with the old ones or are the old ones never going to be available again?

First off tips for doing the new mode on Legendary : https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/64wigm/a_guide_for_the_uprising_in_legendary_mode/ Playing the new mode as Symmetra : 1) Her alt-fire goes through bots' shields, aim it at their arm to break the shield quickly. 2) Her alt-fire hits detonators multiple times similar to Winston's gun. 3) After each objective her shield gen gets refunded so you can move it as the team moves. 4) Regular bots and shield bots will ignore turrets IF they are shooting at players. If you place the turrets in locations where the bots will encounter players first (IE : Above the doorways in the cathedral) they'll ignore the turrets while being burned down. This also goes for the shield gen, bots will usually (not always) attack players before the shield gen. If you can put it behind the team behind an object then it will stay up really well. 5) Slicers and Detonators will ignore turrets entirely and focus on the cart. When defending the cart while it charges and also when escorting it the sym turrets are fantastic for murdering the poo poo out of the Slicers. 6) Bastions and Orisas are horrible to a Sym since they're more dangerous the closer you get, rely on teammates for them. They DO tend to target turrets before players unlike the other bots.

They need a pve mode that's aerial combat. Pharah, Mercy, jet mode Bastion and aerial mech D.Va against swarms of flying robots, titanic walkers and boss ships.

Do you get anything for higher difficulties or earning more stars on matches beyond challenge and/or satisfaction? Rewards or achievements or something? Right now I'm just happy to shoot dumb robots on Normal.

I know you get achievements for doing each difficulty in the limited hero mode but not sure about all hero mode.

Tried hard mode all heroes and we were doing good until we reached the payload and just got overwhelmed at the last wave. No matter how often I revive the others, they would drop like flies.

Rirse posted:Tried hard mode all heroes and we were doing good until we reached the payload and just got overwhelmed at the last wave. No matter how often I revive the others, they would drop like flies. Having a barrier is critical. Most of the enemy types don't do enough damage to be a huge threat but once Bastions start showing up they can kill you dead before you can react. Rein or Orisa is pretty much mandatory to give you some breathing room.

Rirse posted:Dunno, I played DVA in that mode and did extremely well as her. Her damage output isn't the best, but she great at quickly taking down the small drones and absorbing any of Bastion or other heavy bot attacks while the team takes them down. I'd say bastion / torn, dva, Ana and mercy could clean house Not having to reload is big too

I opened up 27 boxes, got the blue Torb skin and the McCree skin, along with a duplicate legendary Mercy and Torb and the legendary pile of gold. Not too bad. Really wanted Trucker Hat Torb but that seems like a pretty decent legendary rate
