Got 3 flag caps and then realized the achievement is just for winning the game 3-0 ;_;

 

[Dice]

fuck me. I spent $20 on lootboxes already. I got Mei's red skin, Reinhardt, Zen, Roadhog, and Symettra. I have 4k gold I can get my tracer/dva skin if I wanted to.

I spent $25 and mixed with boxes from leveling/arcade overall got...

Lunar skins: Winston, Zenyatta (YES!), Bastion (nice), Mercy (nice), Reinhardt
Non-Lunar: Junker D.Va (because she is junk now lolz), Sigrun Mercy (Yes!), Desert Winston, Harmonious Zenyatta
Eight color alts and like 1350 gold (wow) which helped me get Captain Amari and Devi skins.

Not a bad haul and since I got the game on sale I still haven't spent $60 on this game. I think I won't get spendy anymore because most of the standouts I wanted have been covered. I'd basically be buying a chance to get Safari Winston or Gambler McCree. Anything else can sit in hopes on the slow roll of natural leveling.

For the rest of the Lunar Event I'll try to do a level a day and all boxes from arcade each week and see if I get Luna Mei, which was tied with Sanzang Zen for my most-wanted.

yeah that's exactly what I'm gonna be doing now. Just trying to level a day.

 

[Bear Force One]

People not liking the new brawl? I feel the opposite. This is easily my favourite seasonal brawl yet.

So much fun!

One competent person getting all the points seems to be the way it's done most of the time. Depending on the level I use Pharah, Sombra, or Reinhardt, but I'll only go for 3 if my team's defense seems really solid. Haven't figured out how the Tracers pull it off but I've seen one get 3 points in 37 seconds.

 

[kuYuri]

Got 50 boxes.

Got Roadhog's event victory pose SEVEN FUCKING TIMES.

THREE WERE IN A ROW.

 

[Sakujou]

just purchased this game a while ago.

iam level 10, some are level 80, but we play together and i get smashed.
is there a way to avoid this?
ps4 here.

 

[Bear Force One]

I'm very much in the "Roadhog is anti-fun and bad for the game camp", absolutely hate him. I've had friends quit the game just because of him, getting hooked + one shot is just depressing and zaps the fun out of the game.

Don't get caught out of position.

Not really. Just keep playing in Quick Play and keep practicing.

You could also try and group up with other new guys here on GAF.

Nope. Welcome to OW. It only gets more unfair. I'm rank 96, but I've been going against people 100-500 since rank 30.

 

[Bear Force One]

Level is not a measure.of game.skill. It's just time.played.

 

[Sakujou]

it has been a while i played an fps so yeah.

other than that, i like the artstyle. unbelievable, who blizzard nailed this.

 

[Syntax]

This is true. Conventional wisdom would say that the more time played, the more skilled a player would be.

 

[Apathy]

This is true. Conventional wisdom would say that the more time played, the more skilled a player would be.

You'd think that, but look at the highest level person, someone level 2000+ now being gold rank

 

[Bear Force One]

This is true. Conventional wisdom would say that the more time played, the more skilled a player would be.

You'd think that but I run I to level 500s that are dumb as rocks.

 

[Niks]

3 duplicates and a spray!!

 

[FlutterPuffs]

I aalways use DVa as the perfect Bastion hard counter in casual match,aking. Just cant do any decent damage to him at all with the new patch.

The 400hp + 200armor nerf is bullshit. Id take a 300 + 300 nerf.

Anyway, I understand this really helps in competitive match making, but I really feel the drop is too much for plebs like me who just like to play the game casually. She needs a slight buff because right now she feels useless.

She's fine, she was never ment to be a bastion counter he is anti tank

Depending on his location, tracer, phara, both snipers, ana, junkrat, and reaper all counter him

They just brought dva in line with winston

 

[Chanser]

Bought 50, got Winston, Zenyatta, Reinhardt and Roadhog skins. Mercy, Hog and Tracer intros. Spent coin on a Mei skin.

 

[besada]

Haven't bought any, but from my winnings I've gotten D.Va's lucky bag pose three times in a row. Almost nothing in the way of skins except Mei's Chang'E skin.

Sad.

Weirdly, for some reason the most recent modifications to D.Va made me suddenly play her better. Just finished a game where I went 24 eliminations, which is super high for me with D.Va.

 

[Fix-It Felix. Jr.]

I can't get into CTF at all. I'd rather play Mei's Snowball Offense.

Try Junkrat. All the teams turtle up, giving him a giant barrel in which to shoot fish. And you can drop your trap and mine on your own flag and guard it from halfway across the map.

Seriously, though, it's got some problems. I've played five or six rounds and all but one were draws, and that one was a 3-0 rout.

 

[zoukka]

Of course CTF doesn't work perfectly, the game was never designed that way. It's a fun mode to fuck around and see which abilities are the most broken. The draws are definitely the biggest issue and that's because the maps weren't designed with CTF in mind either.

 

[LiK]

Shitty loot boxes all night. So many blues and whites. Dunno if I have shit luck or they changed the way it determines loot.

 

[jediyoshi]

ctf + market + winston
free caps

 

[Apathy]

after the one win i was done, it'll be the same next week. I've only really liked Junkenstein and luciball for the event stuff. The other 2 i have not enjoyed at all.

A diversion but way too many draws. See enough of that in comp

 

[hypernima]

Totally did this and didnt get the achievement, wtf is everyone doing right to get this?

 

[Sp3eD]

I wish they would hurry up and fix the d va glitch in elimination. Between this and the mei wall glitches, eliminaTion has been a steaming pile of shit for me me the last month.

It's sad because it is by far my favorite mode.

 

[TP]

It's bugged, had to do it several times before I got it and I don't recall seeing the popup when it finally registered.

 

[The Yo Tornado]

I feel like karma came to collect for this event. I got every single epic/legendary in the Christmas event except for Tracer's through boxes and coins, even though I didn't care for any of them except Mei's. Now in this one, I love all of the legendary outfits enough that I actually bought $10 worth of boxes for the first time, and out of the 16-17 boxes I've opened so far all I've gotten is Ana's nightmare worthy epic one. I have way less time to play than I did during that event, so it's going to be rough going the next couple of weeks.

Tried playing a few matches as Junk today, and actually found some success. Ended up getting a POTG in Lijiang Control Center because the entire attacking team was piled up on the stairs creeping towards our flag. Didn't have my ult, but the mine was enough to send them scattering. I also played as Lucio for one match, and was able to assist in a quick flag grab. He'd be a pretty helpful hero in the hands of the right player.

What I found to be the most frustrating today was that a lot of the teams I got matched with were defense heavy. There was one match in particular where we had a Widowmaker, Bastion, and Sym all camped out at our flag. Our D.Va was diving onto the enemy flag, while I (Junk) attempted to take some heat off her with some bombs. Match ended in a draw.

On an unrelated note, I haven't gotten a single skin yet. Just sprays and voicelines.

Its not karma something going on in term of "random" in this event. Who knows maybe china get more chance in loot some shit. I am lvl 34 all i get is duplicates

Brought her in line with Winston?

She's THAT bad now?!

Well, she definitely needs to be buffed then.

 

[Feep]

Played some games.

Opened loot box.

Got Mei Gold/Red skin.

EVENT COMPLETE

LOL if you think winston is bad, learn2monkey

 

[Oxn]

He has niche uses. But hes not botton of the barrel. Pun intended.

 

[breadtruck]

CTF is pretty bad in Overwatch. Either draws or blowouts. Both equal zero fun.

It just doesnt work, and I cringe at the hints by Overwatch social media suggesting it might be a mode that will stay.

I played it too many times until I finally got with a good enough team to win, so I could get the event loot box. I dont care to see it again.

 

[QisTopTier]

Yeah, ideally as more heroes get added more and more characters will get rotated around as counters.

Jeff's whole developer video is a pre-emptive apology/explanation for it being a broken mess.

Doomfist coming in to change up the meta!

 

[Hispanic! At the Disco]

Opened 52 loot boxes so far.

Event Skins: Winston, DVA(x2), and Mercy.

That's honestly sad. The RNG is just terrible.

 

[Elixist]

so everybody elses RNG has been shit? about 20 boxes for me only decent thing is Ana skin.

 

[thenexus6]

I have the worst loot box record of any human being on the planet my God.

 

[AlexBasch]

I just need two more wins to get the last box and I have lost the last ten or fifteen 3v3 matches.

COME ONNNNN.

 

[Link_enfant]

Which size is the PS4 recent patch supposed to be?
I'm a bit confused, yesterday it started to download and was about 12 Gb, mentioning 2.03 version. Download speed was kinda low, so I tried to pause it and resume it a few minutes later.
When resuming, it didn't start to download again, so I cancelled it completely and turned the console Off.
Today I turned it On to complete that download but it's patch 2.04 instead, and it's only bet ween 1 and 2 Gb.
Did I screw anything up? It feels like I prevented some data to be downloaded in the previous patch. I haven't tried to launch the game yet.

Could anyone enlighten me about that?

In like the 15 or so free boxes so far ive gotten Bastion and Winstons event skins.

They really must have changed something cause i remember getting tons of good shit during halloween.

 

[SargerusBR]

CTF is in? What a perfect timing for my vga to die on me ( .__.)

 

[AlexBasch]

Four fucking hours and a half.

Only one win in either elimination or CTF.

I gotta work. I hate this fucking game and my life.

Will be back in a few hours.
