Overwatch |OT| Born for Battle

 

[Tecnniqe]

The fact that I'm starting to see sunlight is probably an indication that I should stop. I've been going for literally 11 hours.

Goodnight everyone. I'm sure I'll see some of you in-game later today.

Sleep is for the weak. Grab another red bull.

 

[Kurumi]

Hiii OT! I finally bought the game today. Used my last dime. RIP. Really wanted a D.Va avatar on Gaf, but there are so many already!

Gonna use Boot Camp, but I'm waiting patiently for Mac version.. maybe it will never happen, but here's to hoping~
Also I guess I won't be able to play until in about 24 hours. :<


I... actually didn't play the Overwatch beta. Been way too busy with other things (cough.... useless D3 farming).

Welcome to the Overwatch madness.

 

[hydruxo]

Great OT can't wait to drive people absolutely crazy with Bastion.

You wouldn't have been able to play anyway. The servers go up on the 23rd 11pm GMT (9am sharp in Sydney).

All language. They are separate download on PC. All region are included on consoles.

Probably a console exclusive thing, I hope

 

[TheYanger]

The PC version has already been patching. Unless you mean you're hoping the console versions secretly got more stuff, in whcih case lol. The console versions are larger due to voices.

 

[Plum]

Still debating whether I should get this. On one hand, I haven't gotten into a MP shooter in years and this looks like I could get into it. On the other hand, I have no one to play with and rolling solo seems like it could get frustrating.

Doesn't help that I missed the beta. It's £38 or nothing right now.

No.

Red Bull is for the strong.

That is what I meant. Maybe the day 1 patch are voice stuff. The game isn't patching for me here (PC).

 

[Ayumi]

Welcome to the Overwatch madness.

Thank you!

What regions are there? I'm always stuck on where I should go, but have to think about potential lag. I doubt there will be many GAFers on SEA, for instance, and there are so few on AUS.

 

[Tecnniqe]

On PC you can select NA, EU and Asia.
It all transfer between severs too so you can switch whenever.

On console you can't select it as far as I know.

Also, great OT but terrible thread name...

I am also somewhat disappointed. I think we had better alternatives. Oh well, this will probably get an OT2 soon enough.

 

[TheYanger]

The PC version has patched a couple times just over the past week or two. If you've ever had the Bnet client open it already should be patched.

Version:
1.0.4.2.29293G.

Thank you!

Aus ahs always been part of the North American region in Blizz' other products, there are still actual SEA/Aus servers too though to ensure you are more likely to get matched with those nearby and keep pings low.

For example wow's US region also has the latin american servers and Oceanic servers, which are located in those areas.

Agreed.

Blizzard games don't transfer saves between server regions, do they?

Ah, right. In that case I am good to go.

Heroes of the Storm surely doesn't

 

[Tecnniqe]

Blizzard games don't transfer saves between server regions, do they?

On pc they did during beta. My progress was equal on all 3 regions. My friends list was not however.

Diablo 3 so not have region save share, so this is the first time for them I think.
Friends list is still region dependant for some reason.

I had all my stuff in the beta when I used the EU server for an hour.

You as well, no rest for the weary!

Peace through oversalt!

The beginning of the most wonderful end to us all. Onlywatch!!

Only something Saix would say.

 

[kami_sama]

How many people will buy the game in it's first week? I think 5 million, although it's higher than most people's expectations.

Don't you dare mention that monsters name! Just saying it is enough to drive one feral.

Ok this is new, I'm pretty sure my other games don't, this is one small step towards the right direction.

I think the X1 version patch was 3 point something gb.

I think that at the very least hundreds of people will buy this game. Exciting stuff.

 

[Skele7on]

Someone want to tell me why I cancelled my holiday tomorrow?

Off the rest of the week but damn gonna hate missing launch day....

 

[LordAmused]

So is it out yet on PC? The Battle.Net app only gives me the option to preorder.

Times are in OP

 

[sgtmofo]

For the 20%XP multiplier when playing with friends, do you need a full party or would just playing with a buddy be enough to get it?

 

[LordAmused]

Times are in OP

Thanks. I didn't think about reading the OP.

Spoiler

ALWAYS READ THE OP.
