Wheeee posted:their tank redesign is so terrible i have to hope they'll fix it, but i already know i'll be let down Yeah I loved OW1 more than I cared to admit and this new format and the character redesigns somehow feel like they’ve taken something out of it? One tank makes the whole thing weirdly unbalanced (not on mechanics, but on feel). OW1 felt like it was about pushing tanks forward while the team keeps the line and allows for pushing forward. OW2 feels like it’s about support/dps buzzing around the one tank like a swarm of bees, trying to deal as much damage as possible. Idk, it feels like it’s meant to be faster but really it just feels more chaotic.

DrBox posted:Not exactly. The options sounded like they could take the game down for a day to scale up fast, or scale up slower while not impacting the servers and just keeping a reasonable queue in place. I'm not a big server architecture guy so I could not say if this explanation rings true. If only they had completely taken down Overwatch for a full day where they could have scaled up fast. If only!!

hello internet posted:Regardless of anyone’s opinion on the business model that Blizzard went with, this game will still make them an assload of money. People say f2p with cosmetics only is the proper way to do it and then bitch that they have to spend money to unlock cosmetics quickly like they aren’t going to be playing this for years??? This is true but OW1 actually gave you a lot of ways to get free loot boxes (leveling up, winning 3 arcade games, playing flex role sometimes) and now there’s *no* way to get cosmetics beyond grinding 60 gold per week. You can get a legendary skin after 8 months. The juxtaposition between the two systems just sucks.

Bottom Liner posted:You know you can just play games because the gameplay is good instead of grinding meaningless cosmetics you can’t even see. You know that, right? How much is Blizzard paying you to white knight every even slightly negative comment against them, m8? Or do you just love the taste of boots?

PantsBandit posted:Ok well I'm at least one person saying ow2 is 1000% better than late- stage Overwatch 1 and it's largely because of removing barriers and stuns. I think you’re one of the only ones, really. Seems everybody else rightfully sees this game as an unequivocal step down from OW1. The same miserable experience with less tools for everyone.

Do real people irl open with their sexuality? Feels like tokenizing them by making the first descriptor of their personality be (telling, not showing) PLANT-BASED PANSEXUAL

It’s an interesting phenomenon in that I don’t think I’ve seen anyone really defending Blizzard’s actions. Every person who played this game is pretty much on the same page of gently caress this, gently caress you, and gently caress any more empty promises you make.

Pvt. Parts posted:Some of y'all are pretty intense. I'll understand being disappointed, but I'll never understand being bitter over something like this. You are not owed anything, especially when it comes to video gaming, which at the end of the day is just entertainment. They took away a game I spent $40 on, forever. A chunk of us are literally owed something, ignoring your pro-corporation, anti-consumer stance here.

Pvt. Parts posted:I thought PvE was always supposed to be additional paid content, as in DLC. So you haven't paid for anything yet? People calling me a Blizzard dickrider just show that they feel entitled to the creative output of others. Touch grass. The PvE was the *specific* justification for shutting down OW1. They explicitly said “We are taking away the game you spent $40 for but in exchange you will get this new mode and such for free.” Then it turns out to be a total bait-and-switch.

AndNowMax posted:Yeah, they did. One of the maps has you defending a ferry while civilians evacuate, and then you go through the city and eventually pick up survivors to escort to the end. There are a ton of scripted events and the maps are surprisingly large and have a ton of added parts, not just repurposed Kings Row or Rialto. plz stop giving money to this lovely company tia

Lord Packinham posted:I found fun in OW1 as you said in almost its entire life except I stopped playing when they announced OW2. I never had fun with OW2, tanking is ok sometimes but it’s just a worse experience pretty much across the board. They took away a game I paid money for and gave me a worse game in every way with 100% more microtransactions. Blizzard is loving trash.

If they want to make an arena shooter.. why not just make an arena shooter? Why do this to a game that people already liked to play? OW players aren’t magically gonna become CoD-folk?

I see big changes for season 9 and a big rework of the competitive league and I see a game that has a lot of people playing it still. The layoffs are of course insane corporate nonsense, but it's also what literally always happens with a giant company buys another giant company. Your username suits you lol

Everyone that has a lower mechanical demand for precision aiming, has a whole host of different issues to content with, ontop of still requiring the manual dexterity to aim in general. There are no heros in this game where you press button and win without any thoughts. You can tell at a glance who’s still spending money on this game lmao

Gravitas Shortfall posted:It's a small change but it does seem they're walking back some of the worst of the monetisation with the changes to the battlepass next season. if they dropped skin prices in general that would also help, but that seems unlikely if they're having issues with player retention. No one wants to pay money for skins in a game where you don’t see your own skin about 99% of the time. Furthermore, every attempt by these poo poo sticks to get money out of (anyone) after they literally took away a game I payed money for is laughable. Yes I’m still steamed I spent $40 on OW1 and Blizzard was allowed to destroy that game, utterly, and give me basically nothing in exchange. Rawrbomb posted:Like, are any of you actively playing the game? Its more popular than its ever been, maybe just not with the friends you used to play with. Does anyone actually believe this ?? Lmao

I think the “new” info there is the game isn’t secretly making a boatload of money. It’s legitimately way behind World of Warcraft. It’s outright struggling and could go into maintenance mode at any point.
