Investigating a little further it seems the deal with the prepaid thing is dependent on what kind of prepaid phone arrangement your phone is under. Prepaid phone plans that require signing a contract and providing identification seem to be accepted, but if you've got the type of prepaid phone arrangement common for burner phones where you just get a number and top it up without having to do that stuff then you're out of luck. That said, I have seen one report from someone attempting to add a phone number unsuccessfully but being able to successfully do it a few days later with the same number, so maybe this is just a temporary fuckup on Blizzard's part. It all is very badly communicated either way.

I was able to clear my alt with a prepaid chip. Went to 7/11, bought a chip, walked home and slotted it into a spare phone and did the verification immediately after activating the 4g network. Not in US though, for what it's worth, but if you got a prepaid SIM you might as well give it a whirl. E: Telcel (regular carrier) and Diri (MVNO), both prepaid with no contracts, for reference Ignis fucked around with this message at 14:56 on Oct 3, 2022 |

I wish Team Fortress 2 wasn't poo poo. I used to love playing it until it went downhill (more like, off the cliff) around the Mann-conomy update.

Kiriko is the first hero on the battle pass. [edit] Macaluso posted:Wait what's this founders pack stuff, I thought you got Kiriko for free just for owning OW1 Players who owned OW1 before OW2's launch and log into the game before the first season battle pass ends claim the founder's pack automatically and get instant access to Kiriko. Anyone who creates an OW2 account at or post-launch will have to either grind out the free BP track to unlock Kiriko or pay for her outright for instant access. [edit2] To be more specific, you have to have owned Overwatch before June 23rd of this year and login to Overwatch 2 before December (end of season one battle pass) to claim the founders pack/insta-unlock Kiriko.

So assuming you don't grind out a new character with a BP, what happens after it's done? Does the character move behind some other unlock system, do you just never get them, or do they just sort of unlock automatically after some time?

"Players who already have Overwatch will have Kiriko unlocked for free when Overwatch 2 launches in early access on Oct. 4 as long as they log in before the first nine-week season is up. "

They're locked behind an as-yet-undisclosed system but I would absolutely bet that you can also pay real cash/OW funbux to unlock them as well.

Friend borrowed me his Orange box on Xbox 360 and it had Team Fortress 2 in it. On my first game I got spawn-camped hard by Heavy and Doctor. "Maybe online shooters just aren't for me..." That was in 2007 Overwatch 1 was my first online shooter after that.

Thanks! Good that there will be some way, although I assume it will be tedious enough to encourage you to buy them.

There are maybe like 2 or 3 weapons in the game that are slightly better than stock and outside of that stock kits are the optimal loadout. If you're upset that a f2p game has cosmetics in 2022 idk what to tell you but lmao

Yeah, curious how rough the grind be on the free battle pass. $10 for the premium battle pass/insta-unlock the newest hero doesn't seem too bad tbh, but I'll only shell out the cash for heroes I really want. Maybe. The beauty of playing with no chat/voice muted is you don't have to hear or read any complaints about you not being able to switch to the new hero lol.

we're in the early stages of processing the death of a family member nobody ever really liked having around a whole lot due to them being irritating and frustrating to deal with but who was a part of our lives for long enough that now, in their sudden absence, we find ourselves forgetting the bad times and reminiscing on the good

I loved OW1 so much for like months but at lot of little things killed my interest. My external drive with all my saved POTGs died. Their hero releases slowed down well before covid. They stopped doing cinematics. They changed the rules in how much competitive currency you get for the season where I was to get my first golden gun so I ended up missing it by a small amount of points (still sitting at that same number like 5 years later so we'll see how it carries over). My queue partner quit playing and I went over to Smite for a while. We're both going to come back so we'll see if it grabs us again but we were mostly looking forward to the coop PvE so of course that has been delayed. Some important questions. Will five player games mean individuals have more pressure and responsibility? Can Blizzard capitalize if this takes off again? Any chance they have a tv series in the works after seeing how well Arcane did? Do they have the lore sorted out any better than the ugly mess it was? Does someone have the "Blizzard: War is hell. Overwatch fans: This is the mommy, this is the daddy, and this is the baby. They're going to McDonalds" fanart?

Individuals will have more agency, it's up to you to decide if that means more pressure I guess

If it says "Pre-release content downloaded.", you should be ok Otherwise click Options button next to Play button and "Check for Updates" EDIT: If you are on console, there is no pre-download.

You’re not the only one who keeps trying to hold that line of thought up and to be blunt I hope you’re just Overwatch posting and not actually dull enough to think that either FPS all play the same or that people wanting less MMO design in a shooter are begging for it to be turned into Valorant. There is no legitimacy to that line of thought, it is flatly stupid on its face, which also makes it good Overwatch posting so idk
