Overwatch Sombra ARG - No one is ready for Sombra [Up2: New Model Leaks]

Guys, all I ask is that you wait until today's patch or whatever goes live. If there isn't a patch today, or nothing at all happens, then feel free to complain.

I can and will complain about it right now. Because it really isn't difficult for Blizzard to issue some sort of official statement that there'll be something coming to PTR or post a reveal blog or something.

After about 2 months of waiting for this bullshit countdown to end, I expect something more substantial than a cryptic line about Bastion. Especially from a big corporation like Blizzard.

Calling this leading-on an "ARG" is disingenuous as well.

It doesn't matter if something comes later today. You can't have a countdown lead to a second month-long countdown that then has nothing to show for the wait the moment it's done.
 
Anyone up for talking about what was revealed or we gonna keep moping

Everyone is too busy trying to call it shit to look over what we actually got.

One last time, this is everything I was able to pull myself:

The source code for amomentincrime has: <!-- v1.4.0.2.324?? --> ( the ?? is stating that the last two numbers are not the important ones)

Current Build is: 1.4.0.2.323

No use trying to poke around in game until the next patch (should be today's) goes live. Don't believe random rumors on the internet about glitches/websites and the like, at least not until we hit the specified version :p.


Also, the PTR is currently at 1.4.1, so it has been updated, yet is just not live

It doesn't matter if something comes later today. You can't have a countdown lead to a second month-long countdown that then has nothing to show for the wait the moment it's done.

As you can see above, what we got wasn't nothing. Might not be what we wanted, but it's not nothing.
 
Good point

The bastion shit might be interesting to delve into as much as we can
Maybe they hid something in the recent short, which could be a reason why he had the most recent short
The commented out HTML basically tells us that if something is hidden it's in a future update for the game anyway.

The countdown was for nothing. More waiting.
 
The ARG was fucking pointless because she was always going to be announced Blizzcon. Now, all they've done is guarantee that everyone is gonna be fucked off and not care about Blizzcon.

lolno

the same people who swore off the ARG when this shit started...and yet again here they are mad as fuck again. They won't stay away. Salt or not.

didn't they say we'd learn more about sombra in the bastion video ages ago?
 
Should I buy this game on PC or wait until I get a PS4?
PC, it's the main platform for this game anwyay and its cheaper. 40$ otherwise 60$ on console.

The only thing you believe about your post is that she will be announced at Blizzcon.

Personal preference. Consoles are getting all the same updates as PC and there should be a healthy player base on PS4 for a long while. Just get whichever you think you'll prefer or which has more of your friends playing.
 
The ARG was more than just a countdown though.

Not really.
Every single "clue" had absolutely no substance. It was basically a clue in Ana's video leading to "Now that I got your attention, wait for my next clue", which lead to "Wait for my next clue", which lead to "Wait for my next clue", which led to the forum countdown, which led to the amomentincrime countdown, which lead to absolutely nothing.
 
Pc is the better version so buy that one.

Thank you!

I don't see why people wouldn't care about a new character because the ARG went on for too long. Seems ridiculous to me.
 
and what do you think the word "comprometida" is being conjugated from? It's the same word. "Unidade" is a feminine noun, so then "comprometer" is "comprometida" no matter what meaning it takes

Comprometida isn't a verb being conjugated it is an adjective and is used when a female would be describe being engaged to her fiance.

Where are your friends playing, that's the only answer. This game is fun solo but it's so much more fun with people you can gel with.

It's great on PS4. As a shooter it's obviously going to play better on kb/m but there's absolutely nothing wrong with the PS4 version, matchmaking is super quick, they recently updated the analog stick aiming and it feels a lot better, the population isn't going anywhere anytime soon because this game has been a phenomenon everywhere on every platform. It's part of gaming culture now.

In short like I said, go where the friends are.
 
didn't they say we'd learn more about sombra in the bastion video ages ago?

No they didn't. That was just an out of context remark from a map designer who basically said "there might or might not be anything about Sombra at Gamescom", which the community interpreted as "there's definitely 100% going to be something about Sombra at Gamescom".
 
Comprometida isn't a verb being conjugated it is an adjective and is used when a female would be describe being engaged to her fiance.

The same can be said about comprometido. Comprometida IS a verb, I don't know where you're getting the insane idea that "comprometida" and "comprometido" are 100% different words.

Do you actually... know any spanish? Because, you know, I do, I speak another very similar latin-based language everyday in my life.
 
Comprometida isn't a verb being conjugated it is an adjective and is used when a female would be describe being engaged to her fiance.

It is an adjective, but it isn't only used for engagements, can also mean the exact same thing as comprometido. For fucks sake, I'm a native Spanish speaker, IT IS CORRECT.

Edit: In Spanish, the participle of a verb, like comprometido, can be used as adjectives, and are gendered in both cases, verb and adjective.
 
Because we know basically everything about her, not to mention this game is in dire need to a new character.

I would actually say the exact opposite. All we know about her is that she might(!) have some stealth mechanic, and what she might look like (if that leak was real).

We don't know anything about her kit, role, class, gameplay, whatever. Barely anything about her lore.
 
As you can see above, what we got wasn't nothing. Might not be what we wanted, but it's not nothing.

No, that absolutely is nothing. Countdown to way longer countdown can't end in more cryptic ARG nonsense. You can't do that, unless you have zero understanding of the expectations your fans will have.

If they wanted to put more stupid ARG clues out there, they should have done that before, or during the latest countdown to keep people interested along the way.
 
the thing that pisses me off about this the most isn't that they're taking so long with this countdown, it's the precedent that this is going to be how long the gaps are in between new content

the game is full priced (on console), they said from the start all post-launch content would be free, they're a huge company with tons of resources, make bank on micro-transactions for the game and so far it's almost the end of the year and all they have to show for it is 1 new hero and 1 new map.
