Sambob Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Its a bit of a damp squib to be honest, new skins and three new maps just for the elimination mode. Its super spoiled of me but I was hoping for more. Having said that some of the skins are great and I've managed to grind all the way to 1700 in solo competitive which in proud of even though I know it's shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I can't play for a couple of days, when does it run out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craymen Edge Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 June 12th, I think. I'm off work next week so hopefully I'll get a chance to earn a few boxes. There are a couple of really great skins in this update. I have enough credits for 1 of them, or maybe a couple of the dance emotes. I don't play the 1v1 or 3v3 modes, but I might set up a custom game to have a look at the maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah like @Craymen Edge said it's June 12th (end of E3) so you got 3 weeks to grab stuff ? No skins I'm super hyped for as I don't 'main' them. Some of the dance emotes are bonkers ?

HandsomeDead Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Yeah, I kinda love a lot of the skins so I think I'll be playing this a lot over the next few weeks. I'm tempted to buy a few boxes like an idiot (it hasn't worked in the past) but I'll wait closer to the end. I've also still not qualified for season 4 so I want to do that, at least. I'm not that bothered where I place since I only need 150 purple bits for a golden gun. So yeah, I'm up for this at the mo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craymen Edge Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 The new Shrug victory pose for Reaper, combined with the White Mariachi skin. Just perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambob Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I think these skins last forever, rather than being limited to this event, don't take my word for it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 New map announced.. It will have a small low gravity section. I was getting Destiny vibes because it was on the moon. Then it clicked.. why isn't there low gravity on the moon in Destiny? I never realised it before, stupid game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 For anyone with Amazon Prime: You can link your account to your Twitch account to get 'Twitch prime' which gives you goodies every month (ranging in quality). How this pertains to OW, is that this month you can get a special 'Golden loot box' for Overwatch which gives you a guaranteed legendary item, you also get 5 loot boxes per month in August and September. Just a heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craymen Edge Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 The new map is out now (on PC, presumably on consoles too). I didn't play it last night, but I have played a couple of times on the test realm. It was fun, and had a lot of interesting details to find. There's a new playlist in Arcade for the map, and one which applies the low gravity physics to all the other maps, which is really stupid but quite fun.

Duck Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Huge changes coming to Mercy.. @Hendo She has a new ultimate.. Quote Mercy Resurrect (formerly Mercy’s Ultimate ability) Ability now targets a single player, instead of every player within a radius Radius reduced to 5 meters Ability cooldown is 30 seconds Mercy is no longer granted invulnerability while Resurrect is active Valkyrie (New Ultimate Ability) Valkyrie unleashes the full power of Mercy’s Valkyrie Suit, enhancing her weapons and abilities for 20 seconds: Caduceus Staff: Mercy’s healing and damage boost beams now affect all allies near the targeted teammate, and the staff’s effective range has been extended Caduceus Blaster: Granted infinite ammo, while simultaneously increasing damage and fire rate Guardian Angel: Increased range and movement speed Resurrect: Cooldown is instantly reset when Valkyrie is activated and reduced to 10s after the initial cast Hover: Mercy gains the ability to fly freely, at increased movement speed Regeneration (Passive): No longer interrupted when Mercy takes damage Developer Comments: While resurrecting downed allies is a core part of Mercy’s gameplay, the way her Ultimate functioned was causing a number of problems. It was frustrating to play against, and it incentivized Mercy players to hide away from important battles, instead of taking part in them. This version turns Resurrect into a single target ability. It’s still an important part of Mercy’s kit, but plays much better for both Mercy players and her enemies. Valkyrie, her new Ultimate, gives her the opportunity to make big game-making plays and opens a number of new options for her. D:Va/defense matrix got some big chances too.. https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/blog/21013135 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I couldn't read past the only resurrect one person bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Watched the video now. I'm warming to the idea but I'll be damned if he didn't look nervous as hell when describing all the changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craymen Edge Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I like the sound of this, and the D.Va changes. They're really going to mix things up. Apparently, Reinhardt is getting camera control while using his shield so you can see what's going on without spinning your shield around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 The only British Overwatch League team - London Spitfire - just won Stage 1 of the Overwatch League tour. Thought I'd share a vid of the finals highlights, pretty cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craymen Edge Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I shall have to give it a watch. I enjoyed a couple of week one matches but haven't watched any since. I still think it's dumb having teams named for cities where none of the people are based there. All 12 of those players live in Korea, none of the Spitfires have even been to London, apparently.
