Considering the change to 1 tank, adding two tanks this year and only one support feels very Funny

I like the charms and mythic skin stuff. They quickly mentioned that there's not gonna be loot boxes anymore but didn't really elaborate how the monetization is gonna work without those

Her cinematic and origin story short were kinda boring, but I like her design. Hopefully she's fun to play.

I think it's okay if a character is racist against sentient robots, a thing that doesn't exist in real life. I think I would be racist against robots

Is it racist if the thing isn’t even the same species, let alone anywhere on the family tree of living, biological beings?

humans are dating omnics in the setting so it's pretty clear Blizzard thinks of them as people. but again I said it was funny, because it is

This is the best part of the Junker Queen: https://twitter.com/volskatya/status/1537498659457228801 Hammond apparently just being part of the crew is great Which I think is a retcon because I believe they originally said Hammond fought in the robot battles without revealing himself but I much prefer the above. Also it makes it kind of seem like he based his mohawk look off of her Macaluso fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Jun 16, 2022 |

So the PvE mode has been stuck in dev hell for so long they are giving up all pretense of charging for it? Probably the only way to get me to try it honestly. In principle I like that they're removing lootboxes, but seeing as basically all of my many skins came out of free lootboxes I am concerned that they're just not going to allow people to get skins unless they are regularly pumping money into battle passes and the shop. Very feasibly a downgrade for the average player.

Wait, so the PvE segment of Overwatch 2, that was the original reason for launching it as a sequel and not just an expansion, won't be out until 2023? After OW2 launches? What?

mutata posted:Edit: We still don't know what the "shop" is or how it works, either. It's fairly obvious they took a long hard look at Apex Legends and since they basically 1:1 cloned gun charms, weapon inspect animations and mythic skins (they are even called the same in Apex), I expect the store model being mirrored pretty similarly, which could mean up to $18 for a premium skin. However, considering that they apparently cut out lootboxes completely as a means to obtain free cosmetics and are boasting about 30+ new skins per battle pass season, they will be more affordably priced, maybe somewhere between ... $6.99-12.99? They'll probably dial that in over time and start higher. Edit: Breaking down what the Watchpoint pack is giving you for $40 and attaching an estimated value to its contents - immediatey Beta access // $0 // whatever your perceiced value is, but you can sign up for free - premium battle pass for season 1 // $10, if Apex pricing is any indication - 2000 Overwatch bucks // no idea, but let's stick with what Apex established, 1 unit = 1 cent, so $20 - an exclusive Overwatch player icon // $0 - free Legendary Overwatch 1 edition // obsolete with the launch of OW2, except for 5 free legendary and epic skins each. Probably on sale quite often for $10 - 2 legendary skins // basically thrown in for free if you add up all the other items, so it's hard to gauge what value they're planning to attach to them

charms have been in cod (the other shooter act/blizz owns) long before apex was a thing. they are also called mythic skins in cod. maybe i didnt catch it, but i hope it's not like cod where you're forced to buy a bundle to get a skin you want Think Less fucked around with this message at 03:37 on Jun 17, 2022 |
