Who would ever buy loot crates?

Spoiler

I said as I paid $40 within the first three hours of playing

.

Got some decent stuff at least and about 1700 gold.

>picks hero before anyone else
>everyone is picking their hero

It's okay. Stand firm. Keep your guy. Worst thing that could possibly happen is everyone picks the hero you picked. And even then, it'll be okay. It'll just be a funny round.

Was it reaper?

My Origins Edition just arrived from Amazon UK - it's crazy, wasn't expecting a box this big. Totally makes up for the fact I haven't even got to play it yet, I was even on holiday during the open beta...

How come this is a problem, exactly?

 

[TatteredHat]

When you're losing and you see your team, in an attempt to change the tide of battle, just swap between every Offensive (and only Offensive) hero available.

It hurts.

I can't imagine all copies will, because the coin/badge were an Amazon UK pre-order exclusive.

I nearly went with this version but I wanted the digital copy last night, it looks nice.

Hah, stopped a Hanzo ult with D.va's Defense Matrix. Didn't know you could do that.

 

[Visualante2]

That Conan bit was great. Still not going to watch Game of Thrones though.

I had no idea it would last long enough, or do you mean the arrow before it becomes a dragon?

 

[Frimaire]

Did you block the initial arrow or the actual dragon?

 

[TatteredHat]

Did you block the initial arrow or the actual dragon?

Has to be the arrow, you can't block the actual dragon.

 

[deoee]

Ryu Ga Waka Teki Go Fuck Myself *Winkyface

Can't Genji reflect even it?

 

[Tabby]

Did you block the initial arrow or the actual dragon?

I blocked the initial arrow. I also killed a Reaper that just started his ult as well. 2 ults denied in a few seconds, feels good.

Can't Genji reflect even it?

He can reflect if it's the initial arrow.

 

[Twookie]

Did you block the initial arrow or the actual dragon?

has to be the initial arrow, you can also reflect that arrow with genji

you can also reflect/destroy zarya's ult if you manage do use your ability before it activates fully

From OP.

thanks, added myself to the PS4 list!

any other old folk want to add me for some casual OW fun feel free PSN: cool_calm_jon

 

[Tecnniqe]

Genji reflects everything from here to the moon.

 

[lucebuce12]

Genji reflects everything from here to the moon.

Except Winston's lightning, symmetra's stuff and Zarya's stuff

SO FUCKING WEIRD THAT HE JUST DEFLECTS MY JUNKRAT GRENADES.

 

[marrec]

Genji reflects everything from here to the moon.

But not the dragon, just the arrow.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Well, I bought the game for PS4 and I'm already regretting not going PC. Not that it is bad on PS4, it just feels so much smoother to play with a kb/m.

 

[ElephantShell]

This game with 2 or more friends is literally impossible to stop playing.

I'm like "I got 10 minutes before I have to leave for work hmmmm"

 

[lucebuce12]

How the hell is Mei balanced?

I can understand her offense and her ability to fuck up positioning being so damn good.

But why in the hell does she also have the option to just go invulnerable for like 4 seconds and heal herself up?

Also Reaper:
Why is he allowed to pick up health kits when he's in his ghost/floaty form?

Also Mercy:
Why does she even have highlight intros? You're never ever ever going to see a Mercy highlight ever.

 

[rakkadakka]

Genji reflects everything from here to the moon.

Not Symmetra turrets amongst other things.

Love those lilttle guys.

Feels great watching either Genji or Hanzo try to go all fucking Anime and just get blown up.

NOPE.

The one thing that I enjoy about coop matches at the very least, I can play any hero I want (which is usually 76) and still just have some good ol' fashioned fun. I can't force myself to stubbornly stick to one hero, even if I do happen to select them first or just feel really good with them, as I do want balance out a team comp which usually means playing Lucio or more shockingly, Torb at the moment.

 

[spiritfox]

Just the arrow.

 

[jediyoshi]

Watching streamers you follow that normally play other genres hop onto Overwatch is the best.

 

[Ambitious]

So, it sounds like this game is pretty good, eh?
As I'm getting really tired of Battlefront, I'm now looking for a new go-to game, something I can play for like an hour late in the evening when I don't feel like playing anything with a story. Unfortunately, I missed the beta, but what from I heard so far, the game might be right up my alley. Gonna watch a few gameplay videos.

If someone picks the same hero as me I usually switch to Reintheardt or Symmetra, in a team where people pick same heroes there's no defense/support - general rule.

Gotta get in on the gold rush!

I know Lirik couldn't stop talking about OW after the beta closed down. Quite cool to see multiple streamers go together and play a few rounds of OW constantly.

 

[phant0m]

Just luck of the draw. I have opened 12 loot boxes. I have gotten 5 skins, 1 being an epic skin. I also like getting the victory poses and whatnot. I like this system a lot.

I got 2 skins on my 2nd box and a victory pose on the 4th

 

[Shifty]

I've been having average luck with loot boxes. Got two legendaries during the beta, but the best I've managed to score so far in the release version is an epic (that's the name of blue things in Blizzard land, right?)

Hah, stopped a Hanzo ult with D.va's Defense Matrix. Didn't know you could do that.

Whattttt

D.va is now my favourite.

 

[MMaRsu]

GOING TO PICK UP THE GAME NOW ADD ME ON PS4 MMARSU OWWWW YEAH BABY LETS DO THIS

HYPE HYPE

Also dont forget on PS4 we have a community you can join, see all the parties and games going on right then and there.

Its called Overwatch Gaf Squad. Feel free to join! Anyones welcome in the community

 

[ChuckNyce]

Also Mercy:
Why does she even have highlight intros? You're never ever ever going to see a Mercy highlight ever.

Heh, I saw two Mercy POTGs last night actually, both for her rez ult.

 

[Sir Blaming]

I appreciate winston now. He's that guy who is useful when your aim is super shit, or you are just damn tired.

 

[Newtype-001]

Going to pick up the game now(ﾉ≧∀&#8806ﾉ

 

[Maffis]

First lootbox I opened and I got a young Genji skin. Noice.

 

[Padinn]

Any solutions to random disconnects? Last night I kept getting kicked to login screen every 2nd match

 

[Magnus]

You jerks and your epic/legendary skins in your first few loot boxes. ;(

(Grats)

Right? Don't worry man, you're not the only one with disappointing luck.

 

[Orcastar]

Also Mercy:

I got POTG several times playing as Mercy in the beta.

 

[Lren]

Yeah, that's usually the case. 76 and Hanzo are my preferences but I prefer to think of the team as a whole versus myself. Got a few friends hopping on tonight after work so will be using that chance to play a bit more of what I want. Not to say I don't love playing Lucio or Torb, far from it, but when it becomes the -only- characters I play because of the lack of defense or support, it becomes just a bit tiring.

 

[Sesuadra]

I had bad luck in the beta >> but you'll get besser stuff too.

 

[Mupod]

(Grats)

I never play D-Va, and my friend only plays D-Va (we usually queue together). Her Junker skin is his most wanted thing. Of course I pull one of those in my second box. If the beta was any indication I won't find anything else for another 30 levels.

 

[Hasney]

Try this Destiny trick (I assume you're talking about PS4) - run the game on your main account and log in > switch to the US account > buy from the US store.

Might work, going to try it myself after I get home.

Didn't work. I assume it's like FIFA Points where it's a server side unlock.
