I'm noticing frame drops while playing today... Yesterday I couldn't play because of work, but the day before it was fine and I didn't change anything.
Anyone with the same problem?

Any tips to playing Widowmaker?

I just got a legendary skin for her so I want to rock it for a bit, but I can't hit shit with her.

Learn to hit.

didnt even have to spend money

Prob my fav skin from the beta... i need to get that back! Love how the hook becomes an anchor and his shotgun looks like pirate flint locks.

I'm shit at sniping. Always have been. Always will be.

I like her as a character in concept, but I know I'll never be good with her. Unfortunate about the skin, but that's one of the things that makes the game fun. There are different characters for just about every play style. I doubt everyone is good at all of them.

Does anyone have tips for how to get better at playing an FPS? They're not usually my thing but this is a great game and I play with friends on PC. I use mouse and keyboard, but I die SO MUCH I do okay with Torbjorn and Bastion but shooting is tough.

Other than get good with aiming... Probably nothing else.

 

[Rizzi]

I have no idea how to be effective at D.Va. I always feel like I'm not really accomplishing very much with her.

Which is impossible in pubs.

it's possible. i was playing with randoms and everyone was using their abilities and healing and buffing and we destroyed the other team. it was pretty fun.

Unfortunately. Unless you wanna be that guy

She's the character that requires the most sheer fps skill IMO. I turned my scoped sensitivity up, and I found that it's helped me a bit.

 

[Lazulic]

also loving torb. a headshot with his primary fire does huge damage

 

[mbpm1]

If you get good people it can be done, but yeah, if you have lone wolf Reaper squad good luck.

 

[SoundPulse]

I hate it when my team hits an obstacle they can't overcome by just throwing themselves at it (Bastion watching a choke with a Reinhardt covering) so they swap to their 'don't-give-a-shit' classes and we end up with an awful team comp.

I don't think I've enjoyed a match on Numbani yet.

If you have a problem with aiming stick with characters that dont rely on accuracy. unfortunately that leaves out all the offensive characters.

Reinhardt
Bastion
Mercy
Mei
Symettra
Winston

Yea, I've been seeing some as well, not sure if that's due to the drivers I just installed (the latest nVidia) or what.

Also: the fucking game starts in windowed mode ALL the time now...apparently a known bug, but holy fuck is it annoying.

Go to settings and adjust the sensitivity while zoomed in to your liking. I personally use 45 while zoomed in and feels more responsive and quicker to get my shots in. Try that out in the practice range until you feel what's good.

 

[khaaan]

Is there a way to save/export your game/potg? I know on the menu it saves your highlights but I didn't see a way to save them somewhere. I haven't checked the game directory to see if it stores them there.

No

 

[pigeon]

sooooooo tired of these turrets.

just played a game that went like this:

round 1: team wins because bastion and another turret are hidden in a corner at the capture point

round 2: we win because we get our turret in the corner at the capture point

round 3: they get up to 99 percent because we can't eliminate their turret in the corner at the capture point. we manage to knock it down, put our turret in the corner and win! from 0 vs 99% we come back and win 100% vs 99%

I mean... when the game boils down to "how the fuck do we get the turret out of there" that's a problem.

I gotta say, I've seen a lot of enemy teams have a problem with my turrets, but I've yet to see an enemy turret that we had a problem with. The turret does terrible DPS and it's very vulnerable.

When I see Torb I switch to D.Va or Winston. They can generally just walk up and kill a turret. If you don't want to play a tank, Junkrat is also great at demolishing turrets. I'm not a big fan of switching to a sniper because a good Torb will put the turret in a spot that's occluded.

Other things to keep in mind about Torb are just knowing where he'll put the turret (he wants a spot that overlooks the point or choke, but is still around a corner or in a hallway) and keeping in mind that he and his turret both get hugely healed when he ults and you probably just need to run. Keep in mind that he can ult to heal his turret from anywhere on the map.

Does anyone have both ps4 and pc copies? Does your stuff and levels cross over if you link battlenet?

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Are the Origin skins exclusive to the Origins version of the game or can I unlock them later?

 

[Hik0boshi]

I tried to rollback the drivers but it was the same... The CPU is also working at a lower temp, around 5ºC less.
It's like the game isn't pushing the PC like before (don't really know how to explain).

 

[mbpm1]

So everyone who's uploaded a POTG to youtube has done it through a secondary source?

 

[DrArchon]

I'm fairly certain you can't unlock them later.

What sort of sensitivity do you play with? I found that turning it down helped my aim a whole lot, used to be really twitchy when I played with it turned up.

 

[Listonosh]

Seeing this makes me happy I play on PS4. I hate the toxicity of players in games like this.

 

[super-famicom]

I only have the PS4 version, but nothing crosses over. Linking to battlenet just unlocks the digital extras for WoW, Hearthstone, etc.

The usual: Always look both ways before crossing a street, dont go rushing in blindly, try to get as much cover as possible while shooting, always hace a plan B for escaping, try to move as much as possible sideways as you shoot, learn the maps, the strong and weaks of every character, dont jump much, play in team, help your teammates as much as you can... These are the ones on top of my head

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

I love this game. Got knocked in to the giant hole on that Ilios map by Winston whilst I was playing Lucio. I managed to wallride and jump my way out, hahaha.

haven't heard many speak during pub games either on PC.

They are exclusive to the Origins edition.

It's very rare that anyone speaks in public chat on PS4 unless you play COD. The you can be sure to hear some dumb teenager.

 

[SmartWaffles]

Console recording, Nvidia Shadow Play, or Windows 10 Record That.

 

[Kintaro]

In a big company HR meeting and all i can think about is how i am going to enlighten people with Zenyatta.

All right thank you for your help!

 

[khaaan]

No

Aw, that's a shame. Does everyone just happen to own capture devices then? There seem to be a whole lot of potg gifs out there.

Edit: I guess smartwaffles just answered my question. I've found Win10 recording to be a bit finicky and haven't had much luck with it.

 

[mineskiller]

Having Lucio,Mercy, and Reinhardt during offense escort missions is a must imo. Lucio speed boost and aoe healing. While mercy is healing tank(like Reinhardt)/crit hurt teammates and using her ult to revive teammates is crazy good. My bro and I was really carrying our team because of that.

 

[MyNameIsRye]

Console recording, Nvidia Shadow Play, or Windows 10 Record That.

There's no quick way to do it through console though right? You need to edit the 9 minute clip, or is there a better way?

 

[Xater]

Capturing on consoles is built in at this point and it's easy on PC as well. There probably dozens of programs that can help you with that.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Yeah, I've played with some great random teams. Of course I've also played with some terrible teams, like the last match I played.

 

[Xater]

On PS4 you start a new recording if you hold the share button. Hold it again after POTG is done and you have a smaller file to edit.

 

[Vestal]

In a big company HR meeting and all i can think about is how i am going to enlighten people with Zenyatta.

Zenyatta is quickly turning to my favorite character. Played right he is as much an offensive weapon as a defensive one. So awesome being on defense with him on a payload setting. I think I average 18 or so kills while doing over 7k healing with him.

 

[SmartWaffles]

On Xbox One and Windows you can set how long the clip you want, both Xbox One and PS4 have built in clip editing app which are easy to use.

Any tips to playing Widowmaker?

I just got a legendary skin for her so I want to rock it for a bit, but I can't hit shit with her.

custom settings for sensitivity both scoped and unscoped. anticipate movements, look for weak enemies, use your ult as soon as you get it, unless you just wiped the enemy team, then wait a couple seconds.

use poison mine at your flanking spots so enemies cant really sneak up on you as easily. play with headphones on. helps me better hear approaching footsteps and reaper teleports. also don't shoot genjis that are just staring at you, also don't piss off a winston unless you got your grapple hook up for a quick getaway.

That's funny! I am used to Destiny where it is Opt In to hear public team chat, so just assumed this was the same.

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

Would you guys say having a 144hz monitor would be helpful for this game?

If yes:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-24-led-hd-monitor-black/8767099.p?id=1218890757862&skuId=8767099

Is this Asus 144hz considered a good monitor? Overwatch just made me realize how shitty playing on a TV was lol... I think I'm finally gonna use a 144hz Monitor, and this is the only one I can buy without waiting for shipping.

Really tempted to just go to BestBuy after work and buy one.
