Skull2185 I can get on around 8:15 EST tonight, I'll look you up.
Sweet! My buddy uses a LFG website for Destiny and I guess there's one for Overwatch now, so he's going to try and get us a team going. I'll try and save you a spot, though.
Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.
I'm curious what some of the symbols that pop up on the loading screen represent. Like a little refresh sign or a lightening bolt.
Is there a way to check how good your connection is? Last night was the first time I felt like there were a few moments of really noticeable lag in a match.
Had some good games last night. I probably need to try and branch out a bit more on characters. I tend to go for the ones that are relatively easy for me to play like Soldier, Torb, Mercy or Lucio. Maybe Roadhog.
I'm not the best shot so I usually avoid a lot of the characters. Next time I pug it up I'll try and mix it up. Play some stuff I'm not comfortable with.
Heck, I still haven't played Widowmaker, Genji or Zarya since launch because I still don't feel comfortable with some heroes which are easier.
Then again I've had some good moments with Hanzo and that's a bit harder than hitscan. When's a good moment to go Widowmaker? I may give that a go.
Thanks for linking the profile, I've been hoping that there would be something similar to the profile pages for WoW and Diablo 3.
Anyone else really starting to notice that low refresh rate?
The server tickrate? Yea it's really bad. I've gotten killed around corners a half second late sometimes.
Given how incredibly forgiving the netcode is for the shooter, the low tickrate means you get some real bullshit deaths sometimes.
The tick rate might have something to do with my surviving some situations that should have killed me e.g. Roadhog hooks me and I'm still able to Guardian Angel away (or the Roadhog just wasn't very good).

hook positions people in some ducked up places sometimes - like behind road hog or in the air...
Too bad I'm still terrible with her. I guess it would help if I practiced more. Man I love playing Zenyatta though. So squishy yet makes my enemies squishy as well.

I lose many a sure kill because the Hook pulls my target into some random position and they can react before I get the shotgun on target. Especially frustrating when it is a Tracer as she is always mashing Rewind so getting ti timed correctly is super important.

@akajaybay Shift-Ctrl-R for a small display that shows FPS and network latency. Shift-Ctrl-N for a dumb graph overlay which would be nice if you could make it not fill the entire play area.

Last night I used the voice emote to signal that high noon was ready, then ran up behind a shielding reinhart and starting ulting. The Reinhart then dropped his shield and ran away, then i was promptly sniped.
This ended up being the play of the game for the widowmaker.
I wish console Lucio had an always wall run toggle like Genji and Hanzo. I've swapped jump to left trigger which helps, but getting my parkour on is really tough on a controller.
Also new favorite thing, when on defense on Gibraltar hiding in the doorway to the house as Lucio then booping people towards the cliff.

At least you can rest easy knowing that the Reinhardt was publicly humiliated for doing that.

I don't trust Reinhardt anymore
He's betrayed me too many times
Trying to take down a sieged Bastion? Awesome, Reinhardt shield, I can just stand and send some rockets at Basti--oh yeah Reiny that's good work, I only needed that shield for about 0.16 seconds, it's fine, I'm fine being a puff of vapor

Equally frustrating is being on the other sid eof the equation
"Okay guys, get behind me, we can make a solid push against their entrenched position if you just lemme shield you!'
I push forward...and realize my ENTIRE TEAM is too buy fighting a single Tracer by our spawn to push up against the other *5* players further ahead.
It did win us the match, however. So no regrets! WINKYFACE!

He does. (On Xbox, anyway.)
In the normal character options? I didn't see it last night digging through the options for him on the bone.

There's a REALLY subtle dropdown on the top right when in "controls". Like, not even joking, it took me the entire beta plus a day or two of release to even see it.

The 20hrz tick rate is entirely too low. It's completely noticeable

Yeah I would play Reinhardt more but I feel like a lot of the time it just ends up being me with a shield while the rest of the team is running around solo as Genjis, Hanzos, and Mcrees nowhere near behind my shield.
Or worse standing there with a shield and a Mercy parked behind you healing. I'm not hurt, I'm not really doing much of anything except advancing on the enemies until this thing break or I try and toss some fire at them and die in the immediate barrage. When Reinhardt is working though it's pretty satisfying.
Funny story, back when we were expecting our first child, my wife started hanging out on a message board for other expecting moms, and has kept in touch with a lot of people she met there over the years. This kid's mom was one of them.

I'm not aware of any teases for a co-op thing, but I'd say some sort of horde mode seems a lot more likely than a campaign.

And....it just clicked that I must have had some poison running on me when I died. I died in a firefight, but the killcam was confusing.

Had a McCree griping because me and second Mei player kept blocking his ult with ice walls.
Tried to feel bad, but not real hard.

It's a viral marketing engine built into the goddamn game.
If McCree doesn't use his ult after he pops it, he gets a 50% recharge on it. It's a great zoning tool - makes the enemy team scramble like crazy.
Yeah, definitely wouldn't feel bad either.

10/10 would rain justice into a black hole again.

What?
Opening is at least 51% of the fun. Especially if its a crappy box. Just like Hearthstone.
LIES!
No, no. You must be disappointed with your single blue and 3 commons boxes slowly (all sprays), one at a time, to let the pain really sink in.

Nevermind. I see the mouse button prompts
