toadee posted:Yo I hate to break this to you man but only chronically online people think this way. I know lots of people who play OW, casually but regularly. In a rotation of games with friends. Most peoples reaction to the PvE news was indifference or mild disappointment. They all just keep playing, and having fun. People don't buy cosmetics expecting that to fund some amazing future product, they buy them because they go "oh, I play a lot of Kiriko, and that Kiriko skin looks awsome!". To most people $15-20 is perfectly normal and acceptable for a skin. If a game bothers you this much maybe you should just move on? Lots of us out here just play the game regularly and have fun doing it. When I get tired of it, I play other games for a bit, then I come back when I feel like playing it again. That's how like 99% of people interact with Overwatch. Yo I hate to break this to you but this is survivor bias in action, OW2 numbers are a pale shadow of what OW once was and you're just hanging it with people who kept playing.

Not saying your experiences aren't valid, just that they're definitely not common, much less universal.

With all respect I'm pretty tired of pearl-clutching over these tragic exploited consumers who apparently need Sarah McLaughlin to show up next to a picture of battle dot net user 'îSÙÇKF€€T to help them with their helpless addiction to buying kpop skins. Welcome to capitalism!

At its height? Sure, but OW1 was more or less dead before the OW2 launch. Talkin 15-20 min queue times for QP on high traffic game days.

OOoo we're at the "personal responsibility/I'm tired of hearing about this"-point in the convo, following on from classics like how actually 20$ for a skin is perfectly reasonable even if 60 is a bit much, industry standard really, anyway it keeps the lights on, anyway it doesn't bother me. Wonder where it's going to go from here!LazyMaybe posted:the frog has been fully loving boiled and it is loving it KazigluBey fucked around with this message at 02:00 on Nov 3, 2023 |

I want to play the fun shooty game and i don't know why we are talking about kpop skins. If I have been boiled, then it is a simmering pot of people who demanded fewer CCs, tanks, healing, 2CP, and other things that made OW interesting compared to other games. headcase fucked around with this message at 03:20 on Nov 3, 2023 |

It's funny because this is probably why the Roadhog rework that was originally supposed to go out earlier this week was delayed; not because of technical reasons, but because it would steal Mauga's thunder

I guess I'm just trying to be courteous but I also have to keep in mind everyone in this thread are jaded goons who probably wouldn't care? But eh, it's only a few extra characters to type and an extra tap or mouseover to see, I'd rather just err on the side of using spoiler tags

Gravitas Shortfall posted:5CP Hanamura, lol The worst parts of 2CP, was that there was only 2. If you lose fight one, you have to give everything or its a more or less an L. If the team somehow really bum rushed you, you would feel like the game is already over. Having more points was the most common suggestion from the community on how to improve 2CP, ala hybrid.

Looking at the girl on the right and releasing a pack of snarling hounds labeled internet fan artists. My innate "kill people with a drill" is pretty interested in the dude on the left tho.

I could see them reusing the animation rigs for simplicity's sake, but I hope they'll differentiate the outlines better than they did with Ashe.

d0grent posted:Mauga's existence is such a gently caress you to Reinhardt In the couple of games I played against him today, he's not really a shield shredder. His miniguns are only effective with the guaranteed crit modifier, so brig and rein shields feel effective at dealing with him.

You definitely could use it to react to sleep if you have it up. That said the better move in his case is probably to just charge at Ana as soon as it's up.

He's currently playable in QP and training mode (until the 5th I believe). Tank queue times are... longer than usual. Looks like Space Kiriko and a geologist hero who can maybe create temporary tunnels that work like Sym TPs?
