I don't like playing on the PTR, because i just unlocked a new achievement for Hanzo since i didnt play him much on the normal servers. So now i have to do it again...

Also no exp or lootboxes carry over.

I like to see the new emotes and skins and maybe try the hero changes out for a few matches but that's about it.

Yeah, that's why I'm on Overwatch Haitus for a minute.

PTR is great, but I don't want to burn out on it by playing so much and not having progress save. I'll play when the new comp season is up and running.

The difference between comp and quick play is staggering to me.

Now how can rein's shield stay unbroken even with that many bastions? This unrealistic approach really takes me out of it.

Isn't his current Crusader armor in bad shape. Maybe that was 100% durability Crusader armor Rein in the flashback.

[Strider]

Been playing on PC since launch but picked up the game for ps4 today mostly to play with my brother who plays on ps4...

Gonna have to get in some gaf groups on ps4 too tho

 

[Squire]

wtf blizzard. I felt like Dragonblade didn't last long enough as it was.

Everyone who doesn't play Genji much disagrees, a good player could kill the entire team with his ult pre nerf.

Yep. All the Genji changes will do is seperate the wheat from the chuff.

Mercy after watching the Bastion short.

Which bears the question: WHY IS ZARYA'S ONLY GOOD SKIN NOT IN OVERWATCH

It is, the olympic one

 

[Dubz]

Just downloaded a patch on PS4 and now I can't play competitive. I am level 29, so it's not my level. What gives?

Competitive Season 1 ended yesterday, nothing to do with the patch.

Season 2 starts early September.

Hmm, must be a big.

Maybe contact Blizzard?

[Wyndstryker]

Just saw the Bastion short. When the flashback occurred the first thing that came to mind was "What if they were fighting all Genjis?"

 

[ramyeon]

That Reinhardt skin.

Glad I have 15000 coins in the bank.

Would be weird considering stacking isn't canon.

 

[killdatninja]

Before I spend my CP on Zarya's golden gun tonight...Is there any reason to save up the competitive points?

 

[twobear]

Well, this already exists in HOTS:

nice

hyped for this.

 

[Nori Chan]

We're getting a new Reinhardt Skin?

anything else besides those emotes

 

[ramyeon]

?

that's terrible

Agreed on both fronts.

Not sure what people see in that HoTS skin. It's so gaudy.

 

[Animator]

Is there any word on when we are getting the new map? Surprised its not on ptr yet.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Is there any word on when we are getting the new map? Surprised its not on ptr yet.

it will go live on the PTR after Gamescom and on the normal servers for everyone to play early september.

 

[Satch]

?

right? that skin is fucking hideous

 

[Animator]

Ooh when is Gamescom over, next week?

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Ooh when is Gamescom over, next week?

Yep but there is no specific date yet for the new map. Sometime after Gamescom but before September.

 

[Newtype-001]

So Hanzo seems pretty good know guys

[Astral]

How do I get good with Mei? I'm trash.

 

[Odrion]

?

that's terrible

You're terrible!

It is, the olympic one

The Olympic skin seems neat now since it's new and the Olympics are happening. But once all that is over you're going to look at that skin and realize the objective truth: gym cloths aren't cool

 

[Red Arremer]

?

that's terrible

Agreed. I kinda like the glowy hair/eyes, but that's where it ends lol. The gun is way too big.

We're getting a new Reinhardt Skin?

anything else besides those emotes

Yes, a set of legendaries, based on the armour from the new map that sits in the throne of the castle. One "clean" version and one that's overgrown.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

How do I get good with Mei? I'm trash.

I'm sure there are plenty of guides on youtube. I haven't watched one myself so i can't really recommend a link.

 

[Apathy]

If there is a Halloween event, it will be for Reaper, Junkrat, Widow, and Roadhog.

Widow will have a spider costume.
Junkrat will have a pumpkin head.
Reaper might get a costume of one of the four horsemen, maybe?
Roadhog.....I don't know.

Actually, the four horsemen thing makes sense. His default would be Death, he has a Plague skin, maybe he'd get a skin based on War? That could be cool.

I gotcha already, here, http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=205886041&postcount=16899

Well for sure the lost vikings would be used for torb
Jaina for mei
Patchwerk or The Butcher for Roadhohog
Grommash or Grom or Tychus or Arthas or Lich King for Rein
Sylvanas or Kerrigan for Widow
Nova for Tracer
Tosh or Cairne for Winston
Morales or Auriel for Mercy
Raynor or Tychus for Mcree
Tassadar or Zeratul for Zenyatta
Twin Emperors for Genji and Hanzo
Tyrael for Pharah
Khadgar for Soldier


The ones I have not come up with yet are bastion, d.va, junkrat (although leaning to some WoW goblins just due to explosives), lucio, reaper, sym, or zarya.

Obvious choice for D.Va might be her mech looking like a Thor and her just being a pilot.

 

[Poodlestrike]

How do I get good with Mei? I'm trash.

Embrace the reality that she (and thus, you) are cancerrrrrrr

Don't bother trying to win, or play effectively, simply be as obnoxious to the enemy team as you possibly can. Throw up walls CONSTANTLY, freeze people and make sure they see you before you execute them, etc. etc.

 

[ramyeon]

So Hanzo seems pretty good know guys
https://youtu.be/c5lp-2NCEJQ

That's Seagull though.

 

[Owzers]

I'm sure there are plenty of guides on youtube. I haven't watched one myself so i can't really recommend a link.

I tried to watch a video but it kept freezing.

Sorry sorry sorry sorry.

 

[Newtype-001]

That's Seagull though.

Seagull was always good with Hanzo

 

[Antiwhippy]

Yeah I don't get why people are freaking out over the HotS zarya skin.

 

[Data West]

I wonder if Overwatch is ever going to do legendary skins with different voices/effects.

Heroes of the Storm does it.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

[ramyeon]

Exactly?

 

[Anne]

Learn wall spots on the diff maps and use them to isolate people. That's all there is to it really. It turns out doing that consistently while maintaining your CDs is fucking hard.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I wonder if Overwatch is ever going to do legendary skins with different voices/effects.

Heroes of the Storm does it.

Hanzo and mercy already has them.

 

[Data West]

Hanzo and mercy already has them.

Just one voice line though. The HOTS skins change everything they say and their voice in all their dialogue.

 

[Veelk]

I've had nothing but duplicates for the last 5 boxes in a row. The random number generator is not merciful today.

 

[ramyeon]

Hanzo and mercy already has them.

Hanzo's voice line got changed back to default in the new PTR changes iirc.

 

[ZealousD]

If there's going to be a Warcraft skin for Reinhardt it would be Uther Lightbringer. He has a hammer, guys.

 

[Animator]

How do I get good with Mei? I'm trash.

Isolate people with the ice wall > freeze them > headshot > yayyyy emote

 

[dryuriev7777]

I've gotten Tracer's orange summer skin 7 times

I've gotten Tracer's flag summer skin 0 times

This event is garbage bullshit and I will forever hate this fucking timed exclusive money-grubbing cocketry

Spoiler

unless I get the skin, at which point this was good we all had fun GGEZ Blizzard

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I don't really care about Zarya since i don't play her much but i really really want Tracer's HOTS skin.

So badass.

 

[Baleoce]

Just had a session with my static. Played like 10 maps. About 7 of them were KotH. 4 of those KotHs were Lijiang Tower, with 2 Ilios and a Nepal.

 

[Data West]

Bastion has all that time to wander in the forest since he's not needed in any of Overwatch's modes :3
