    Really.

    I don't think the legendary money's that bad. It's half a legendary skin of your choice. Rather then a random skin for a character that you already have a skin for or for a character that you don't play.

    Money is awesome. There are so many skins I don't care about, and a few that I care about a whole lot. I fully expect that I will only get the latter by spending credits.

    Amagawd new patch
    McCree

    Flashbang
    Stun duration increased by 0.2 seconds
    Recovery time (i.e. the time before McCree can shoot again) increased by 0.2 seconds


    Developer Comments: This change should help McCree better orient to his targets after stunning them with Flashbang, and give his teammates more opportunities to capitalize on its use.

    Roadhog

    Chain Hook
    Now pulls smaller targets closer than larger targets
    Whole Hog
    Decreased the movement speed penalty


    Developer comments: The change to Chain Hook should enable Roadhog to more reliably kill smaller heroes after a successful pull. Since Roadhog’s primary fire has such a wide spread, this allowed smaller heroes to avoid the majority of incoming damage from Roadhog after they were hooked. For Whole Hog, we feel the movement change helps the ability be more flexible while also making it less dangerous for Roadhog to use.

    That's too bad. I really wanted the fix for the spawning in the direction of the kill feed bug. Found that one super annoying.

    Oh my god you can rocket jump as Bastion with his ult.

    It's a tiny hop vertically, but it can clear small obstacles and propel you forward.

    Blargh. Blizzard really hates me. No access in the 2nd beta test weekend :bigfrown:

    I was under the impression that we wouldn't find out until tomorrow afternoon? So, maybe like 20 hours from now?

    Edit: Yeah, from the official link
    To help us get the most out of this testing phase, we will be flagging accounts for the Beta Test Weekend beginning in the afternoon Pacific Time on Thursday, April 14. Once flagged, we encourage all new recruits to download and install the beta client so you can be ready for action once the stress test officially begins.

    Right now, it's only 6pm on Wednesday the 13th Blizzard time(Pacific). :+1:

    Neat effect that was mentioned the other day on Reddit. When Tracer reloads, she doesn't actually reload her guns, she rewinds them back in time to when they were loaded again.

    Looks like the patch is coming back down.

    How are they getting the reflect skill to constantly be up? Are there options in custom games to have no cooldown on skills?

    Still awesome. There are so many cool gameplay touches in Overwatch I'm always amazed by what people are able to figure out.

    Custom Games let you tweak with stats, yes. Like altering damage numbers and health numbers; I'm sure you can finagle cooldowns with it too.

    Who's feeling lucky today?

    Not me! I got into the first stress test so I doubt I'll be that lucky again.

    I'd figure everyone who got into the first stress test aught to be automatically included into the second one. Seems like it'd be a bunch of work for no reason to de-flag people.

    Not so, I'm afraid:
    Q. If was selected for the last Beta Test Weekend, will that guarantee me access to this Beta Test Weekend?
    A. No. Being selected to participate in our previous Beta Test Weekend will not guarantee you access to this Beta Test Weekend. On the flip side, it won't prevent you from being selected, either, or otherwise affect your eligibility in any way.

  • LucascraftLucascraft Registered User regular
    There's probably no de-flagging to be done. It was probably a limited time account flag that was programmed to automatically fall off.

    Here's an interesting presentation from GDC on the animation in Overwatch. I didn't realize how much cartoony stretching was going on until the presenter slowed things down.

    Ayy Master 1 bby. Didn't expect it, since I can't aim for the life of me.
    Might try for Master 5 but with the stress test coming up, I think I'll take a break. Already queuing into organized streamers teams, which really sucks.

    I'm OK with not getting into the beta if only they'd compromise and at least change my Overwatch screen to finally goddamn acknowledge that I have, in fact, already pre-ordered this game
