Hugoon Chavez posted:Also, make sure your settings don't place a bandwidth cap for pre-release downloads, it did for me and I downloaded about 10% of the game at 100kbps before I realized what the problem was. Thanks for this, I was wondering why my speeds were so low. Also, I am cautiously excited about jumping back in to OW. The OW1 beta and launch were some of the most fun I've had gaming but I fell out of the game years ago.

That Seagull video is great. Three years and the main feature for this game is nowhere to be seen.

I'm no pro or anything but for ball it feels like playing a dive comp. If you've played with any combo of DVA/Winston/Ball it's similar. With Roadhog you still have good health and damage mitigation while healing and your hook is a real threat with less barriers so you can still make space for your team.

Jack B Nimble posted:Can anyone who played in the beta speak to what it's like being the sole tank if you were previously the off tank? Say, RoadHog and Wrecking Ball? Roadhog is still bleh just like he was in OW1, but now he has a billion HP now and isn't an ult battery for the other team due to the tank passive. But just like OW1 he'll pick apart uncoordinated pub teams because he still 1 shots people and it's way easier to hit hooks with fewer shields ruining your fun. Ball is strong, there's some good videos of Yeatle playing him on YouTube. I think the biggest mental hurdle tanks* will need to get over in OW2 is that there's an expectation that everyone, including supports, have more agency/responsibility for their own survival now. It's totally fine as Ball to just get completely behind the enemy to grab some health packs then head back to the fight sometimes, you don't need to babysit your team. It's not "there's only 1 tank now so that tank MUST play defensive to protect their backline", it's "tanks as they were are largely gone with exception of 1-2 characters and your choice of tank determines how you approach the game" *other roles will also have to get over this mental hurdle, particularly supports, and not freak out when the tanks they're used to suddenly aren't just playing as mobile shield dispensers.

I think this could end up screwing Blizzard over as there won’t be a big release moment for it. But hey, I could be completely wrong.

OW2 seems to be designed around the idea of Tanks not having to give a poo poo about their teammates anymore, so it's all good. According to the stats from the beta, if you play Hog or Ball then your teammates will die A LOT more often but your win rate will actually not suffer from it.

I would like to just pay Blizzard $15-$20 a month to play a fun PVE game where me and my friends fight bad robots without having to grind out specific steps to access content. It's a shame it will never happen.

Regarding PvE I really hope the success of Destiny has convinced Blizzard to basically try again with Titan, because what I really want from PvE is actually custom characters and an open world. Yes, that's extremely different from Overwatch and I'm basically hoping for an entirely different game. Still, Destiny with OW aesthetic and design is one of the few things modern Blizzard could do that would be genuinely compelling.

I would actually love that. Especially if the experience contributed to the same pool as PvP and there was a chapter every season. I personally play for competitive PvP, but some of the most fun things I've done in OW are unlocking the hardest PvE achievements.

headcase posted:...but some of the most fun things I've done in OW are unlocking the hardest PvE achievements.  I got all the cheevos for Uprising and Retribution. Beating those on the hardest difficulty (with pubbies no less!) in Story Mode was easily the most fun I've had playing Overwatch tbh. Never got around to Storm Rising though; I stopped playing consistently around that time.

I found Retribution the most fun PVE mission, Storm Rising feels really short, and Uprising has that bit where the bomb is powering up that draaaaaaaaaaaags. OW2 PVE has the potential to be extremely fun.

Every odd season is supposed to have a hero, so my guess is that the PvE will be tied to the battlepass during even seasons. Having characters locked behind battlepass means that releasing a battlepass without one will always give the impression that it is worth less than the others, so they must have something planned for those. Obviously pvp maps have to be free for everyone, so that only leaves PvE modes unless they add an extra mythic skin and think that'll be enough. Chances are they have a few plans and will wait to see the reception to the game and it's monetization before settling on exactly how they'll monetize what's supposed to be their next big thing.

He now has an improved melee that does more damage and knockbacks people and it is loving hilarious. Hugoon Chavez fucked around with this message at 17:53 on Oct 4, 2022 |

To be honest, Storm Rising was much easier. I think they consciously toned it down from Uprising. Still very fun though. The uprising 80% one was so crazy with a rotating crew of pubbies.
