I see people complaining about the OT title, but are there any Game of Thrones fans who don't like it?

I think it's fine. I liked the Bastion one a bit more, but now a lot of focus is shifting on Mei so ¯_(&#12484_/¯

 

[Haines]

I hate titles that try to hard.

They should just be fun.

 

[Newtype-001]

I didnt get the title was meant to be a GoT reference.

 

[Ferrio]

I see people complaining about the OT title, but are there any Game of Thrones fans who don't like it?

Yes. The pun is crap, and the connection from GoT to Overwatch is tenuous at best.

 

[dengatron]

that feel when i'll get 2 blackhardt's tonight and theyanger will only get symmetra skins

 

[TheChillyAcademic]

Just a heads up that for access into the PS4 Community and such letting me know personally via PM is the easiest!

 

[Sesuadra]

So for people who played the beta on PC: what changes did you make to the keys that are used? Did you change anything for better/faster accessibility?

 

[Ghost is Bad]

Yes. The pun is crap, and the connection from GoT to Overwatch is tenuous at best.

thats not true

torbjorn and peter dinklage are totally connected.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Do we know if there were any balance changes from open beta to release?

I don't think so.

[A Sentient Keyboard]

The Bastion tweet OT title was much better, imo. And I watch Game of Thrones so my input is valuable and worth considering.

Dinklage wishes he could hold a luxurious beard.

So for people who played the beta on PC: what changes did you make to the keys that are used? Did you change anything for better/faster accessibility?

Melee to F, crouch to C. Just personal preference. Not a ton of keys used by the game, thankfully.

 

[Xeteh]

I got the reference, but I don't see how Overwatch relates to GoT at all. Personally I think it's one of the worst OT titles I've seen in a while. No offense to whoever came up with it.

The joke about Onlywatch was from earlier in the beta when they'd do invites and tons of people wouldn't get in, you couldn't play Overwatch you could Onlywatch etc.

I don't really care one way or the other about the title.

 

[peakish]

Wanting to add some people to play with but not gonna make people suffer to play with someone who doesn't have a mic

I guess what I'm asking is, does somebody know a good wireless mic to recommend? Not feeling like getting more wires on my desk.

The thing is, you are still on the opponent's screen for the same amount of time with low OR high tick rate so saying "I wouldn't of gotten hit if the tick rate is higher" is BS. With a low tick rate (frequency of position being updated by server) it would APPEAR you are behind cover when you get sniped. The higher the tick rate, the more likely where you are on your screen is where opponents perceive you to be.

But I didn't say that. I said it would appear to you that you were safe and wouldn't die. That is one of the issues, it leads to feelings of cheap deaths or ults not going off because while on your end you looked safe or you threw that tracer bomb/hit your rewind, to the server you didn't. If the tick rate was higher you wouldn't see that on your end, you wouldn't think you were safe or you wouldn't see your ult go off and then have it whiff because the server said no.

I'm asking an honest question. If you have an answer, give one. Don't mock.

But you get to have your snarky, mocking answers.

They're not supposed to relate to each other, it's just a play on words. I'm sorry some people don't like it, but I thought it was a fun title given the current GoT season, and enough people have said they like it in this thread that I'm happy with it.

There will be future OTs for different titles.

 

[Haines]

I see people saying a gameplay aspect t is counter picking heroes

So basically I just need to learn what heroes counter each other and try to switch on death to a hard counter of what dude is beating us up?

Also, I didn't even know "Onlywatch" was a thing until I googled it based on the OT title.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

I just hope I get another gold skin for widow

That's the only thing I'm really sad about losing from the beta

 

[Rats Off To Ya]

I see people complaining about the OT title, but are there any Game of Thrones fans who don't like it?

Eh. I don't hate it, but there were much better suggestions in the beta thread IMO.

 

[Mugenjin]

Tracer ultimate to RMB. I can't think of any other right now. If only we could check in game right now...

 

[TheCanisDirus]

The Bastion tweet OT title was much better, imo. And I watch Game of Thrones so my input is valuable and worth considering.

I'm a HUGE GOT fan and it took me a long time to make the connection. Personally it's a little too specific.


Should be...

Overwatch |OT| A dirty bag of ticks

 

[Crosseyes]

Lmao I'm so reminded of earlier how people were complaining about waifu talk and thinking wheres the more technical game or meta stuff? Congrats you got what you wanted lol, it devolved into people getting nasty about how good they are that those few milliseconds could've prevented their death like all the time!

Anyone know how loot boxes will come in the main game? Like open beta when it was one per level or will there be other free ways?

 

[Ferrio]

So for people who played the beta on PC: what changes did you make to the keys that are used? Did you change anything for better/faster accessibility?

ESDF, because WASD is crap. All abilities mapped to mouse keys.

It was beating a dead horse

Apology not accepted.

 

[jello44]

Not yet, but let's at least put the knives away while arguing about ticks, and maybe take it somewhere else to argue about dicks.

But ticks suck, those things can give you lyme disease.

 

[Dance Inferno]

Apology not accepted.

I wasn't apologizing for the title.

 

[Glass Shark]

So for people who played the beta on PC: what changes did you make to the keys that are used? Did you change anything for better/faster accessibility?

I have a mouse with six side buttons so I mapped the abilities to those. I'm not the fastest or most precise on WASD controls so it helped a lot.

 

[Gaz_RB]

What we really need to figure out is the dick rate.

Pharah E on RMB
Mercy stuff to toggle

 

[BackwardCap]

Won't be able to get on until well after midnight but hopefully I won't be left too far behind.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Those who preordered the digital PS4 version, have you gotten the extra stuff for the other Blizzard games yet? Are they just going to email us codes, or what?

 

[Xeteh]

Pharah E on RMB
Mercy stuff to toggle

I didn't care for Mercy's heal/buff on toggle but I did change her shift ability to prefer target instead of whoever I'm currently healing/buffing.

 

[Glass Shark]

Just remember, everyone: Jeff Kaplan said we should all be good to each other.

 

[Terrorblot]

Waiting until I get out of work at 10:30 is going to be TORTURE!

 

[RandomExpletive]

Jeez we're going insane and theres only 3.5 hours left... hang in there boys

 

[Zia]

Anyone know when review embargo's up?

 

[Shake Appeal]

Tracer ultimate to RMB.

Oh, this is smart. I like this.

 

[Line_HTX]

So, I didn't really look at anything nor tried it during Beta, and I'm wondering what is a good playstyle to try first just to familiarize with the mechanics quickly?

 

[Glass Shark]

Anyone know when review embargo's up?

There isn't one. Reviewers don't have early access to the game, they're going to be playing it at the same time as everyone else.

 

[Haly]

So, I didn't really look at anything nor tried it during Beta, and I'm wondering what is a good playstyle to try first just to familiarize with the mechanics quickly?

One for each type:

Soldier 76
Bastion
Reinhardt
Mercy

 

[Jarate]

Call of Duty Man AKA Soldier 76

Competitive mode won't be in at launch they are aiming for end of June and thanks to community feedback seasons will be around two and a half months with a two week break in between. They are also redoing sudden death.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

I have played shooters over the Internet for over 20 years. Have you ever tried to play the original Unreal Tournament across the Atlantic using a 56K modem? I have. Don't talk to me about "bullshit deaths" in 2016 with your 50ms RTTs and 0% packet loss.

I have actually, so what you're saying is we shouldn't expect a decent tick rate now because things were much worse in the past? Like we should just be grateful it's not the 90s anymore? I can't agree with that. 20 tick is too low and it needs to be improved.

 

[Illucio]

I CANNOT BELIEVE TODAY IS THE DAY

Well remember if you havent added yourself to the DOC yet to do so! And you PS4 players let me know!



I will do so!

Add me bro.
