Glad I drunk purchased the Watchpoint pack months ago so I could play Overwatch 1, because they didn’t give me poo poo for OW2. Guess I won’t play until they fix that.

oh I got confused when they literally said it was for account/ownership poo poo my bad quote:3 p.m. - 4 p.m. PDT: Servers will be down while we’re rolling out a fix to address some bugs related to account merge, login, and the First Time User Experience. Players won’t be able to access the servers during this time.

No worries. The account merge thing messed people's ability to log in and play the game. Not everyone and not for every region. And some Ow1 veterans accounts were treated as brand new accounts and had to do FTUO.

It is pretty loving hilarious that after all this time of prepping the game to be f2p they didn't actually fill it with anything new and just hope a ton of new players come into it and buy the old stuff. and that's only half of the joke, the  battlepass is the punchline.I don't know if it's funny or sad that the actual game is way way better now but everything surrounding it is such a mess that Blizz is getting roasted universally.

Bottom Liner posted:Literally every role feels better now in a miracle of design that I can't make sense of given how much of a mess this all looked to be for the last however many years. I did not think 1 tank would ever work and it would be a complete mess. Tanks feel powerful, DPS feel more impactful and have various niche roles that all feel important, and healers are maybe the highest skill ceiling in the game but not punishing to play. i played a few more matches today and it does feel better than old overwatch. i guess my main issue is just how they removed the tank barrier stuff but never tuned down overall damage/healing alongside it. add in overwatch's peculiarities like the lack of strafing momentum and how impactful headshots are to damage, and the end result is that you either instagib people or you never kill them because all your damage gets healed away as they A-D strafe. it'd be interesting to see how the game would play with slightly larger health pools, though that would probably make a bunch of DPS heroes even more hard to deal with. and honestly it'd be cool to see them try the game without the silly A-D strafing poo poo 6 years after release but lol i doubt it edit: well to be honest i think i dislike how healers can generally continue healing forever instead of it being a limited resource (like how moira works) but that's basically overwatch at its core so i doubt it can be changed Minorkos fucked around with this message at 08:55 on Oct 7, 2022 |

It would take a pretty generous interpretation of the word “sequel” to consider this one. It kept my load outs, key maps and video settings! The game is still fun, it’s still very much overwatch but the 5 a side setup does make it feel a bit more sparse. The progression system is plainly less interesting for someone who plays sporadically and can’t commit to a season-long battle pass. I don’t really understand why OW1, a game I paid for, got replaced by OW2. It was relatively seamless for me. It just feels weird. It’s like a huge mega patch that implies a lot of future costs for the whole cast of heroes. What was previously free - new heroes - now costs. And no one really asked me if I was on board with that. I’m not mad in the slightest, I just don’t really have a frame of reference for this type of change. I liked OW and it’s sad to know that is just … gone.

They wanted to milk people for more money so they made it f2p and to get more publicity did the minimum amount of things they could to call it Overwatch 2.

In terms of 'free stuff' the loot box system was better too. I'm not sad to see it go, but the replacement is a step back in that regard at least.

Capped this silly sequence from a comp match last night where I solo ult the enemy JQ after she caught 3 of us with her ult because gently caress it lmao. It ends up being 3v4 in favor of the enemy team, and I almost die but my Ana lights me up with a clutch nano and we secure the last kills. Push is pretty fun imo, especially as JQ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3TN6ZwMWH0&hd=1

 It would cost you 12000$ to buy all cosmetics in OW2 and vast VAST majority of them are just OW1 cosmetics. 12000 is a way larger number than 60.

Jack Trades posted:I'd MUCH rather they made OW2 subscribtion-based to fund it. I was really hoping switching to a battle pass system would provide for this. I didn’t realize they would then also make everything else so loving expensive. So now there’s three classes: free, buying BP as subscription, and whales. It really bugs me that this is how they want to treat the game going forward. I wonder how Halloween is going to go with all of those cosmetics. If there’s no way to earn holiday skins people might riot. Jack Trades posted:
This exact image was posted this before and as I asked then I ask again now: how much is this after the battlepass is taken into account? Extra questions: considering lootboxes were on average 10 boxes per legendary skin, how much would this be in lootboxes? Or how much in time spent earning lootboxes? OW2 is more expensive but I need a comparison point. Someone buying every skin in the game piecemeal is not a realistic comparison for anyone to present. Fake Edit: Reddit is reporting that controller settings could be what’s causing some of the mouse aiming issues.

RPATDO_LAMD posted:they already described how every new hero they release from now on is going to be unlocked through battlepass grinding (or instantly with realmoney) Absolutely lmao. I had all the new heroes unlocked from the start (without spending money on the game other than the initial ow1 purchase at its launch, which from what I read online might be a bug but gift horse) so I was hoping they would do the sensible thing and just have grossly overpriced cosmetics and not lock their landscape changing heroes behind a big pay wall. Nope. Looking forward to every new hero being grossly overpowered for a month to drive purchases before getting patched down to normal levels. Al-Saqr posted:Yeah sadly I think I never actually owned OW1 I played it during a free weekend early in its life. I genuinely don’t see why they need my phone number when they have my details in the battle net account. It's supposed to be an anti cheating thing, to make it harder to  your way back into the game if you get banned. They could have hired more mods but it's easier to just gently caress over everyone on a prepaid phone plan, they're not whales anyways or they would be on a normal plan.

Super scrub played a few more games of Mercy, forgot how much I like flying around the battlefield healing everyone. Still haven't figured out the right mix for using the damage boost, but it probably doesn't help that I'm only playing open queue games where it's 90% dmg dealers and not balanced in the slightest Still getting kicked out of the game/server for unlocking achievements, but that's what I get for being a god gamer

I feel like I am sucking way more than I did before - I feel like I can never do enough damage because there’s sooo much healing going on. I did, however, try Echo for the first time and good lord she can annihilate dps and support characters so quickly, so I’m gonna stick with her for a bit

I am a sick, broken human being, but I enjoy the battlepass progression and daily challenges. It's nice having little goals to optimize and prioritize. I also really don't care about missing skins. It is just a side quest. My only complaint is with the idea of a premium battle pass that costs money. Something about it makes me feel like my daily efforts are sub-optimal if I don't spend that subscription. Oh no, they are in my head

Reaper was already nerfed before in OW1, but he feels even weaker now somehow. The boomier shotgun sound effect does not match up with how little damage he does now.

well why not posted:It would take a pretty generous interpretation of the word “sequel” to consider this one.

Depends on how you're using him I guess. With the tank changes his damage is a lot slower but his regen is still high enough to 1v1 and win, and he still can do plenty of damage on the backline. With everyone open and softer now with the removal of shields it's easier to get stuck in to the fight.

I think he is pretty strong with one caveat. Armor counters him really hard. I noticed he was getting picked a lot in OWL and he is great at back assassination with a get out of jail free card, and self sustain. He also fine shooting at meaty tanks, but don't bother shooting the yellow stuff. Oh yeah and his ult is really only countered by DVA now.

I was playing him in death match and: 1) he seemed to be able to 1v1 any other character up close 2) his shadow glide thingy comes off cooldown very quickly and is great for getting close, escaping, snd even just gaining a little advantage mid fight I may have just been in a scrub tier death match but he seemed good to me, with the caveat that you needed to arrive within shotgun range fully healed.

He's strong but he's also cursed with the thing where none of his abilities do damage, just his guns, so if your aim is off you just suck and die. No homing sticky grenade or remote bomb or aoe dot+slow field or whatever to tack on damage, just shotgun

New Kiriko menu music tune has the exact same Generic Trap Beat as The Worst Fortnite Song and it fills me with an impotent rage that it is on purpose, that it is a finely crafted marketing decision to be as legally distinct from, but similar to, Fortnite in any way they can. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-QJM7mwPME&t=85s for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXwrMsBfSVg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbFhkuvgAM8
