Me too, I got Ifrit Zenyatta, joker Junkrat, Vikram Zarya, all white McCree, alien logo Lucio and more skins and I am sitting at 1850 gold, feel like buying that awesome Hanzo wolf skin.

Pretty much. So much fun. I like people like you.
This and Rocket League. I could lose 20 times in a row and still have tons of fun.
I don't get paid to win rofl why stress out?

You can select both language for both text and spoken language separately from the battlnet launcher. (options -> game settings)

Game is finally downloaded. Now only about 20 more hours until it finishes installing!
Why was that update 10gb 😂😂😂
Anyway I'm loving what I played last night. Movement speed is definitely an adjustment from playing modern FPS but classes would be broken if everyone could sprint/move fast.
I was doing surprisingly well with Genji
I think the absolute best part is how assists and kills are lumped together as eliminations. It helps keep the player motivated to do the objective over raising a KD

I was so on the fence on this one. I have been playing everything on PS4 recently but a ton of my friends and GAF/Twitter buddies were buying this for PC so I tried the beta. Meh, didn't really click with me but one thing stood out, the character designs. My roommate loved the beta and I enjoyed watching him play at least, so I figured I would leave it at that.
Fast forward to yesterday when I started looking at the game again, buying into the hype, watching the animated shorts. Later on that night I watched some videos on beta impressions and then bought the Origins edition and booted it up. I had a utter blast with this game, I am only scratching the surface but I so far Pharah is my favorite and tonight after work I plan to spend some time in single player messing with different classes so I have a few options to help my team out. Especially want to learn a healer class, more than likely Mercy.
This game man, it's just fun. Even when I am losing it's just fun. The colors, the characters, the voices, everything...it's just so polished.
I was shocked it pushed everything to Ultra on my old 660 TI and it still looks and runs great. Bumped a few things up to Epic and it's still running great. So good.

Agreed, losing doesn't feel terrible, just helps me realize what I did wrong and how to approach the same situation differently in the future.

Well Blizzard games aren't technical marvels so it's not that surprising.
And here I am with my HD5850, running it at the lowest settings, and being around 45-60fps.

I'll most certainly go with Mercy of my teams needs support. It's fun and she can seriously turn the tides of a match.

I'm pleasantly surprised at the quality of the (amazon excl.) Origins edition! I was expecting to get the coin/badge just separately next to the game, not as a rather swish looking boxed set!
And yes, that is a Master Chief figure sitting on a miniature toilet

Does anyone have Lucio tips? Only support I feel like I am contributing when I play them is Mercy and the medidating dude.

I feel this way too even though I know I'm helping. I wish there was more visual feedback for when you're healing as the other healers.
Dat shiny plotSo much "Lore" and "plot"
I bought 60 loot boxes and I got about four or five legendary skins in total. Not even mad, because I got B.VA and Thunderbird & Raindancer Pharah
God damn this game is fun, although I'm done with buying loot crates for now.

keep the player count that you are healing/boosting as high as possible since he's AOE
don't be afraid to use E (faster heal/boost) frequently as you don't know when the damage will come
Push back is quite useful especially against genji ult and roadhog combo, but in general it can always disorientate the enemies
The deepest of lore.So much "Lore" and "plot"

Ping ponging between Junkrat and Lucio in most games. Love them both equally.
Make sure the you have a line of sight to the majority of your team. You don't need to be looking at them, but there needs to be no obstructions between you and any teammate you want to heal/speed up. The icon in the middle of the screen will tell you how many teammates you're currently buffing. I tend to stick to healing and just use the speed boost when leaving the spawn point or if I need to get out of a firefight. If you stick near your team, boost the healing during a skirmish, and use the ult around your team when the enemies are making a big push you'll be a good Lucio.
My friend spent...a lot of money on loot boxes. He's the type to gleefully pay to win in any F2P game but I don't get why I'd mess with the only progression mechanic this game has.
Outside of our party leaders randomly being disconnected for an hour-ish, and the 15 or so minute start delay, the game ran great for me all night. Blizzard and other game companies catch shit for weeks or years after the fact when a game launch goes poorly - I doubt they'll get the proportionate amount of praise for a smooth launch of this scale. But something needs to be said.

Lucio is great as a "transporter" of sorts, getting people from spawn to fight super quick. Any time a bunch of people wipe I'll run back to the spawn point to meet them and speed boost the team back; it's like playing Symmetra except Lucio can do this every 10 seconds.

My first ever play of the game was with her.
Used my ult right as 4 of my teamates went down at capture point B. Revived all 4 and even got a double kill. It was pretty fucking awesome.
So much "Lore" and "plot"
That costume and 'over the shoulder' pose are so shiny I feel like I could read the future...yeah...it's bright that's for sure, nice and interesting loots sir.
Meanwhile here:
Got some disconnects during the night, things should be better now I hope.

lmao playing Torbjörn, placing a level 3 turret on the floating conveyor platforms and letting it ghost ride through their base.

So
On PS4:
Any fix/workaround for constant error LC-202? Beta worked great but retail
Hasn't launched a game
Yet.

I obviously haven't even looked at this thread much since I was able to play the game, but have people noticed any major changes to the game? I haven't seen patch notes.
One thing is the kill feed is turned on by default. My friends were all commenting on it and didn't believe me when I said it'd been in the game for a while. So obviously they patched *something*.
I swear there's new posters on Hanamura. Most of them featuring a girl with sunglasses.

I'm surprised how many characters I'm starting to find comfortable. I really don't mind switching between characters depending on team composition. Really I enjoy it and it gives me a chance to play characters I wouldn't normally choose (otherwise it would just be lucio and d.va all day)
