I'm the plan to put everyone in cryosleep instead of leaving one guy awake during the relatively brief storm

Looking forward to the Bastion short sequel of Bastion refusing to go to bed and all of Torb's other kids decide they can refuse too and Ganymede is making nests in the wardrobe and everything is just a mess!

But at least it shows some potential to improve, as Bastion, Somba, and now Mei's shorts have been considerably better than the dreck that came before them.

Been seeing a lot of McCree at my current rank. Think people have figured out McCree shits on Doomfist.

I enjoyed it. I already liked Mei's character though, so I'm biased. Seeing her origin at Ecopoint: Antarctica was fun. I'll agree the voice acting in all the OW shorts could be better, but they're serviceable enough imo. From a technical/visual standpoint, I thought this one was by far the best. I particularly enjoyed the time-lapse of Mei building out the freeze gun, and the shot of her looking up at the polar lights.

I think its Doomfist and his ult buff that really spiked him. Seen way more game changing High Noons than I was used to.. Doomfist still fun to play even if there is a Cowboy walking around.

Off-meta characters should get dick sprays as incentive for players to pick them up.

It was actually terrible and I felt nothing while watching it. I cared more about bastion having PTSD than I did about a genius scientist forgetting that she needed power, or acting like a loving robot is dead because it had to charge its battery.

Oh i'm perfectly happy, i'm a young dude who's actually bought property and I live with my wonderful girlfriend and soon to be wife (as soon as I can afford the weddind). I'm about to get a new job with a company paying me a ton more money thats literally a 10 minute walk down the road from where I live and i'm very happy with life in general. The short was just poo poo, dude.

I just totally realized that Lucioball is the future sport that Lucio got his gear from, and presumably the sport itself is real and in universe. So Lucio's the equivalent of a dude with a cricket bat.

Been thinking on this for a while and I'd like to see an arcade mode that just has all the characters reverted to their launch states. Be curious to see how something like that would play out. Edit: Except for a couple charcters who needed some quality of life changes i.e.: Zenyatta and D.Va.

I think officially his gun is like a weird pirate radio thing from him and symmetra beating each other up in the favelas and lucioball isn't canon.

Perhaps a silly question, but as someone who's been playing for just a few months and has 4k credits to their name, is buying cheap stuff (ex: voice lines) in conjunction with the loot box changes, actually a good idea? I was thinking clearing out a ton of voice lines would then improve my chances at better stuff if duplicates are in fact decreased in drop %. Or is there a particular to the loot system that would make doing it a bad idea / useless, such as just seeing an increase in currency?

if i understand the new system correctly collecting all the drops of a color won't improve your chances of getting better colors, it's just that from that point on is when you start seeing duplicates. so that 3 greys and a blue box will still be 3 greys and a blue, you'll just get cash from the duplicates instead. so technically you'll see an increase in the amount of better stuff you can get by virtue of being able to collect blizzbux more quickly? but the lootboxes themselves won't have an improved drop rate.

Cowcaster is correct. I don't know yet whether having every vanilla item will make 100% event commons drop until you have them all. I'd assume not tbh, I assume that rarity and event vs non-event is determined, then the specific item.

I was thinking clearing out a ton of voice lines would then improve my chances at better stuff if duplicates are in fact decreased in drop %. Seems like the system has 2, sometimes 3 steps for each loot box item: 1 (optional). Roll if it's a seasonal item 2. Roll rarity 3. Roll from the list of eligible items to get the result This is done when you earn/purchase a loot box, not when you open it. Only seasonal loot boxes do 1 (and at least one item from the seasonal boxes is guaranteed to be seasonal). The eligible list then is composed of every item of that rarity and season (or not season) that you do not have; if the eligible list is empty, instead the eligible list just has every item of that rarity and season. tl;dr rarity rolled separately means there isn't a benefit to going on a cheap-stuff buying spree

Well I liked the Mei cinematic anyways. I've been playing a ton of Mcree in Mayhem since Doomfist is so broken there. He can juggle people nonstop to the point where they can't even do anything about it. Sombra is pretty good too if you can hide and hack him. If he goes after her though it's all over.

No Wave posted:Cowcaster is correct. I think it increases the chances by a lot. Muselk opened like 100 boxes as per usual, and since he already has basically nearly every item, the first 10 or so boxes were 4x event item.
