I’ve been waiting for Lifeweaver’s “sigh!” voiceline to show up in the shop for weeks now, and every day it’s just more poo poo that’s purchasable at any time from the heroes customization screen anyway

I think so. I get "In" at the start and "S" at the end but that's it.

So despite the season being named after Venture, they debut with just a few color swaps of their default skin and zero legendary skins? And nothing in the BP or shop either?

Rawrbomb posted:I have a feeling they've got something lined up for Pride for them, but not 100%. They only got the standard skin variations, which is mostly normal? I don't remember if Journ/Queen/RAM/LW had any decent alt skins at launch either. Probably at least one tho. Queen still doesn't have any decent skins that you can purchase with non-premium credits.

Hi, I'm new to Overwatch. I got some free stuff with Game Pass perks and I saw I could get coins for free so I started playing and I really enjoy it. I am curiouse why people are mad that they can receive very minor punishments for quitting games early now.

yeah new map/mode is great, nonstop action the capture points are really small though and pretty quick to capture (which instantly gives you 1 point) so certain abilities are definitely stronger here like minefield

New hero is pretty rear end tbh. Highly team and comp dependent in a game that is moving away from teaching players about such things. And the changes that they made between the playtest and now actually nerfed their burst potential by moving damage into DOTs so they can't even assassinate as reliably. Not saying that they can't work, just that in a quick play/casual paradigm they might be fun with movement etc but they feel pretty goddamn ineffective. E: conversely the new map/mode is decent if not exactly amazing, at least at first look. It's very straightforward - just brawl, brawl, brawl. And a single team fight seems to be enough to determine most points. So I was initially concerned that it was going to be a drawn out painful mode like Flashpoint can be but it's actually shorter in most cases than any of the existing modes. Matches what they were suggesting about going for quicker matches that are less impactful - probably their answer to crappy balancing, it doesn't matter if the match is a blowout if all 5 caps happen in 5 minutes and go next.

And the changes that they made between the playtest and now actually nerfed their burst potential by moving damage into DOTs so they can't even assassinate as reliably. I've found that venture comes in two flavors, oppressive as hell, or ineffective. Not enough data to say why they work sometimes and others don't. You absolutely have to have some command on the kit and know how to use it to your advantage. They have a fairly limited range in general. They may not going to play well vs a widow across the map. I find that they're a lot of fun to play, and can get a lot of value. SadisTech posted:E: conversely the new map/mode is decent if not exactly amazing, at least at first look.

Cap time feels super fast in the new mode, interested to play it in role queue. New mode is otherwise fun, lots of verticallity and tight spaces are a nice difference. Also the music is pure nostalgia. Jezza of OZPOS posted:anyone noticing any issues with immediate crashes on login? just had it crash 3 times in a row on startup

dogstile posted:Probably because its a new season and people are crashing, which is ticking their "you can only leave x amount of games in a season before permaban" system. There is a large group of people, streamers included, who don't think there should be any penalties for leaving Quick Play / Arcade games. "Its just quickplay", is normally the language used. That's some horse poo poo though, because leavers kinda ruin games. At the very least that match is now in a much worse state of fun for everyone involved. 9 other people time was wasted, because someone left. Developers in past streams have mentioned that before the changes there were people leaving 90% of their QP games. Flats spouting poo poo like "so his friends sign on and he cant quit the current game to go play with them". No flats, they shouldn't quit the game, they should FINISH WHAT THEY STARTED, and then bail. QP isn't, and shouldn't be comp, but if you're playing a team based game you should be trying at least trying to help your team / win the game. If you want no consequences, go play death match or some arcade modes that are not team focused. If you leave often enough to get a penalty, you're leaving a fair amount of games. Its an AVERAGE over your last 20 games played. Rawrbomb fucked around with this message at 14:54 on Apr 17, 2024 |

quick play usually feeds another player back in in like 10-15 seconds though

Now you have a brand new player to the middle of the game who has no clue what's going on. They also have to player has to load in, select a character, and join the game. Then make it to the team, assuming they didn't just wipe. The loss of a player in a match, kills the game quality, period.

Don't forget a backfill has no ult charge so they're absolutely hosed if they're joining mid match. Sucks having to play defensively because you don't know the opposing team's ult progress and then being unable to counter-ult because you never had time to build it.

Someone said a while back in the thread that if you leave in the first 5 seconds without moving your hero it doesn't penalize you, but that doesn't seem to be true in my experience. I don't mind mid-match leaving penalties AT ALL, I just want to be able to skip the really terrible new maps.

Pretty sure you have to leave during the SETUP phase, which is not available in all game modes? Or at least a lot shorter in some vs others. I believe its before the doors open to start the match.
