Blizzard,

Whoever came up with this sheer fisting of a patch can go gently caress themselves. Do me a favor so I don't waste my team's time on this kind of jackass poo poo-fest again, send me an email at brigole@bittysteal.net when you decide to:

B) Implement a balance patch that wasn't designed by a cowboy chained to a cubicle
B.)Get a Quality Assurance Department
C) Actually beta test the loving thing and
D) Patch it live. And please for god's sake -- do it in the order I laid out for you. Don't worry, I won't charge you a consulting fee on that one. And for good luck you might as well
E) Pull your heads out of your asses.

While you're at it rename the game to RentseekerWatch since you've used up you're alotted false advertising karma on user rug-pull of PvE. Fix the comms reverb bug. Fix Kirko teleport. Rethink your time-sink bullshit. Buff that motherfucking Lifeweaver (I suggest you let whoever designed Ana one do this since that dude apparently laid off the crack the rest of you were smoking). Fix the matchmaking. Fix matchmaking queues. (just guessing it's hosed up considering your track record). Don't have the resources to fix this stuff? Move the ENTIRE Diablo 4 team over to fixing Overwatch AND DO IT NOW. If you don't fix/remove Cassidy nade, you jackassess will be the only ones playing the Overwatch: Invasion.

Edit:for whatever reason I thought it was canon that it had SO MANY spelling/grammer errors, but the archive.org copy of the OG rant is clean. I guess the subreddit must have/had a filter that bans the OG copypasta

Do we know if the PvE is going to be purchasable with the arcade "premium" coins?

That sounds like a sensible policy the Overwatch team would be cool with but Blizzard corporate would veto with extreme prejudice. It would give players who have close to $15 worth of premium coins incentive to forego Season 5 items and grind out a few more weeks of coins instead of dropping an additional $15 on the Invasion Bundle. That means ActiBlizz number might go up slightly slower than it otherwise would. Shareholders no like.

The amount of time &consistency to play to accrue that many weekly challenge coins, you'd think they would like to reward the loyalty of the types of players who played consistently enough to do that.

Gotta have a loyal player-base there, for whatever reason would the whales buy the shop poo poo if no one is playing.

They've been reducing what you can get with free currency on other games like HS - no way in hell they'll let you get anything decent in OW for free.

"1 v 1 torb only, Kings Row, no E (***), for the map!"

That situation actually happened today.

Saudi Arabia - Turkey. Just a quick explainer,. Saudis steamrolled on attack, finishing with 4:15 in the bank. Saudi Arabia also completed in OT thanks to a Saudi C9. So, with 4:15 in their timebank, Saudis decided their best strategy was to challenge Turkey to a 1v1, Torbjorn, Hammer only, No using the E ability. If Turkey won, Saudi would draw the map (by not touching the point).

*** Of course, the saudi player was the first torb to break the No E (the other player pressed E in response) , and won the 1v1 and then took the point while everyone was calling cheating in match chat. *laughs*

they can do all they want to his numbers, it's extraordinarily difficult to find value in his utility and said value pales in comparison to speed or anti or damage boost

I've put a ton of hours into Lifeweaver purely because everyone said how terrible he is. He does take effort, but drat he's fun as hell. Having lock on healing on console is huge, he has my highest healing per 10 minutes by nearly 1k. You have to pay attention to when enemy tanks have ult, but you can seriously gently caress them up by throwing a pedal at the perfect time. He can also escape situations where you should die by using the jump when pedal gets to its max height along with dash. The reduction in weapon spread does help, I found it way easier to take people out. If you're smart, you can make it work really well. I get that other supports can do more with less effort, but it isn't as fun for me.

This is, sadly, more important to me than bettering myself.

We now have confirmation that the three story missions playable at past Blizzcons are the only thing coming to the table for now.


Kotaku posted:

Overwatch 2’s long-awaited story missions start rolling out next month on August 10, but from the sound of it, the three levels that launch in the first wave will be the only ones that launch in 2023.

News of this comes from executive producer Jared Neuss, who said on a stream with Twitch streamer and ex-San Francisco Shock player Emongg that fans shouldn’t expect new story missions in the next two seasons following the initial August 10 launch. Overwatch 2 seasons are nine weeks long, and season 6, the one that begins on August 15 just after the missions launch, will last until approximately mid-October. So if we shouldn’t expect any new story missions in seasons 7 or 8, then it sounds like whatever story content is coming after the first batch won’t be out until 2024.

I don't know what to do,
I'm going to lose my mind

So many questions. Why even announce this before the three missions come out. If I was still playing, this to me would be another reason to not spend the money on the missions. I’m assuming these missions will end on a cliffhanger. You’re gunna be waiting at least four months to get the follow up.

If they knew there were only three missions ready this year, why didn’t they stick one in each of the upcoming battle passes to make them look like better value?

Didn't you mean to ask about flowers?
That'll be $15 for a single map of generic robot enemy waves and some ambiguous, noncommittal dialogue between characters for a story that never updates, loyal Overwatch player. We will consider doing it again in half a year.

with this announcement especially, the story missions are feeling like an attempt to cash out on work already completed rather than building a solid foundation for the future, so a wildly overpriced $15 bundle makes more sense than sticking it into a battle pass most people already invested in the game are going to be buying as it is

it's a strategy that craters any remaining faith in your ability to produce PVE content in a timely manner for the few remaining people who were willing to accept the story mission compromise, but if you just want immediate cash with no concern for future consequences then it's the play to make
