Does MSI overlays not work in this game? I'm trying to look at my fps and it doesn't show up in game. The game is playing really smooth....feels like the upward 60's. Just curious.

There game has an in game performance layout thing. Bit small but it shows FPS, GPU temp, ping and one or two other things. I can max it on a 970 and get solid 60fps.
 
no scoreboard muting on console? some people never stfu

edit: pause. SOCIAL. mute player lol missed it first time around.


Roadhog is fun as hell
 
So PS4 players can boot the game up now, but we can't matchmake...
Just do the second training mission, you can use all the characters and play against dummies.

After playing with the dummies and using a couple of characters I can definitely see myself playing this game for a long time. I like how every character feels unique to themselves in personality and fighting style. Though I definitely see this being a 'pc' game but it's still great on consoles, hoping it'll get love from the playerbase and blizzard cause I'm sold already.
 
Ha, they wiped my character level and all my unlocks but didn't reset my accrued credits. Had about 750 left from the closed beta and so went ahead and bought a few epic skins (wight Reaper so good).
 
Game has been flawless for me so far but the two friends I'm queued with have problems of not respawning for minutes after death sometimes. I don't know if it's a latency thing or what but very frustrating to be down two people for that long.

PC, by the way.

Edit: They both have the same ISP in the same general location and one's internet went out so I'm going to say it's an ISP problem. So far so good then!
 
Am I seeing this correctly or does the game default to supersampling if your system can handle it? I've never seen a game do that before!
 
Is there any way to save our highlights? There's one I really want to keep.

There's a highlight tab on the main menu.

I'm not sure how long they save but I assume you can just record it with Shadowplay.

Edit: Last 5 highlights it looks like
 
NO BUILDERS! NO SNIPERS!

Which fucking classes are those, Blizzard? COME ON! If you're going to bitch at us for team building, the least you could do is color code or something to let us know. "Assault, Defense, Tank, Support" doesn't give us much to go on when you bitch at us for different things.
 
Is Blizzard planning on allowing us to save replay files? With a freecam and/or camera placement and editing? Because that would be great.
 
So this is a bit of a silly question considering it's still in beta, but is there no report function currently built in? Because i'm questioning the match I just had where the Widow player had 99% scoped accuracy, and only landed headshots. Was quite a feat to see. Of course everyone "commended" her at the end.
 
Played around 5 games, I think my team won every one. I love playing as Reinhardt, but it often feels like tanks get little recognition in the post-game voting screen. I had some pretty badass saves/killing sprees but "play of the game" is always a damage dealer going off.
 
How can it have proper matchmaking on day one of open beta?

Seriously. If you think it's this bad now. I can't wait for release.

Only time I see Reinhardt make Play of the Game is when it's a 3-4 player stun and he kills 3+ guys.

Yeah, play of the game seems to be reserved for big multi-kill moments.

Yeah. They could highlight missing classes or something with a glow or something, to say "hey, maybe use one of these?" instead of saying Sniper or Builder when they are like, subsets of a type and you only separate by type.

never seen someone so salty over that tag before

NO SNIPERS > chick with sniper rifle
NO BUILDER > dwarf with turret

and it doesn't really truly matter if you actually have all roles or not in your team, it's just a recommendation. it's not bitching at you buddy, take a chill pill
 
I'm curious, MN said on twitter pre-loads for the beta on XB1 were up but every time I go to the download on the marketplace it just says bundle only, any idea what's up?
 
This is unbelievably fun.

this game is awesome
It's amazing, nothing short of. I'm gonna be in this for a long time especially since classes are about to let out for the summer.

Trying combos with certain characters in firing range was fun and I've already got a group I really like. This is what treyarch was trying to do with specialists in blops 3 and failed at, blizzard completely nails it.
