Game is $40 on PC for all launch characters. $60 with some cosmetics. Also on PS4 and XBONE. Blizz refuses to discuss post launch content at this point.

New Heroes (Added to Beta this coming week):

http://us.battle.net/overwatch/en/heroes/dva/
http://us.battle.net/overwatch/en/heroes/genji/

Overwatch is a first person shooter made by Blizzard. The closed beta is live but you aren't invited.

Polygon edits their quote to make it more supportive to one side of an argument because that spreads around more than just putting the same thing that was already said before like how PCgamer did.

So, they say they want every player to have access to all the heroes at launch so they anyone can swap on the fly to any hero in the game, but everyone seems convinced that there are already 5-10 new optional heroes just waiting to go live for $10 apiece once the game launches, and that them not saying so is a grand conspiracy.

Let me just clarify everything for you blizzdrones.

Blizzard will charge for new heroes and maps in the future. The reasons for them not clarifying are pretty obvious, right now there is potential for the community hate to reach critical mass and just boycott the game all together.

So they will just do what they always do and slowly and quietly jew the pleb redditors dry. Oh and don't forget to preorder the game 6 months in advance to please the shareholders ;^)

The only reason they stick with 21 heroes is because they don't want to scare away new players with a big roster. They've been releasing art for alot more heroes, there's also achievements for 30 heroes. Everything pointing to the fact that they planned more then 21 heroes.

I honestly have no idea what role she serves, she can't heal and her defense matrix is by far the worst of all the tank shields. So she sucks at tank.

She has high mobility/health but does shit damage that also makes her move slow as fuck so she can't effectively assassinate/throw out a lot of damage.

Her ult is just area denial like Hanzos dragon except it leaves her with only 150hp and a pistol after using it.

These answers to the business model are actually so alarming that I feel considerably more wary about purchasing the game. How can a company this big be so lacking in foresight?

Blizzard should not be unfamiliar with multiplayer practices. Post launch content support is the lifeblood of games in the online multiplayer space, and it's the essential component to having regular and renewed interactions between the developer and the userbase. If Blizzard has no idea what they are doing after launch with their multiplayer game even on the most base level of how it will operate I'm sort of just blown away.

Yes, I read the statement. He said "selling maps" as if there would be an in-game store that sells individual maps in the same way for example if Valve sold Badlands in their in-game store. They will sell expansion packs.

Guns and equipment aren't really that big in the tf2 economy. Any gun that goes for anything is just a reskin of a much easier to get weapon.

It's not really hours.
Whenever I needed a weapon I just either asked someone in chat if they had an extra, which they usually did considering how common they are, or just popped on a trade server for around 2 minutes.

He didn't clarify anything, he just clarified there will be 21 heroes at launch and no hero store.

You can jew through xpacs though

Zen is a great support for mobile/roaming heroes. Just sticking a Harmony orb is nice when your Winston goes flying off somewhere. Plus he owns tanks.
>>
>>121655078
Xpacs in overwatch would just be heroes and maps.

So it's a DLC bundle.
>>
So how are the supports in this game? Do they actually do shit and stay active, or are they the boring job that nobody wants to do, like in almost every other game that has "support" tags?

Can they kill by themselves?
>>
>>121654725

>We will release the game with 21 heroes and there will not be a hero store when the game launches

the next day

>To clarify, some people think will release the game with 21 heroes and there will be a hero store when the game launches. This could not be further from the truth.

It clarifies nothing. It will be clarified when they explicitly state that players will not pay for additional content after release.

>>121655041
Getting weapons is piss easy. If the same format still holds up from a year back when i still played, you can trade 2 random weapons you have for 1 weapon you actually want. And you get like what, 8 weapons every week or something. Actually finding people to trade with is a mess though.

>>121655078
>Maps will be free
>Heroes will be DLC, if we ever add them
I dunno, seems pretty clear to me.
>>
>>121655041
Just use the market.

It's probably better in tf2 though because people are usually more attatched to a single class so they will be willing to pay a fair price and not lowball if they really want a certain hat for that class.
>>
>>121655175

yes, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are made with peanut butter, jelly, and bread. the question is how much will the dlc cost after the game is released. not what kind of dlc they will make.
>>
>>121655041
That time is long gone nowadays you can just buy every but the most recent sets for a few cents on the steammarket.

The supports are vital to winning and seem useful for the most part.
>>
>>121655251
Zenyatta is lethal on his own. Discord is really dangerous and his weapon is very strong. Mercy is all about support but does nothing on her own. Lucio is kinda in the middle of those two. Symmetra is weird. She has her turret nests and her charge shot is situationally really good, but her offense is awkward.

Incidentally Mercy is probably the strongest hero in the game.

The best business decision is giving beta to people who don't preorder all of Blizzard's shit anyway.

The only way I can see D.Va working is as some kind of flanking tank. Her mobility is insane and her weapon is decent enough at close range plus she has a ton of health.

I imagine she'd be quite the pain in the ass to deal with if she was behind enemy lines. Not to mention that Ult is probably the best area denial tool in the game.

But there's no way she can work as a classic tank like Reinhart or Winston.

This
She flies in where no tank/hero with such powerful dps normally would be

you mean CS:GO that didn't have viewers for two years until they put in hats and betting? damn shame a game only a month into beta doesn't have the same numbers. truly a dead game.
>>
>>121658661
No I think it's cool.

I thought it was shit until I realized you can activate your boost and ALLAHU ACKBAR it into the enemy team from long range.

And it's radius and damage is crazy good, it's the most "GTFO or die ult in the game."

Plus then I get to run around in waifu form and build up ult for another suit, it's fun as fuck.
>>
>>121658661
Not really. Her Mech and human ults are separate meters. It's possible to self-destruct and then immediately jump into a new mech.
>>
>>121658629
CS;GO and viewership weren't mentioned once in the conversation.

>>121658661
It feels awkward that she's suiciding and recalling mechs like it's nothing. but i don't have a distinct feeling that her ult doesn't fit her kit or anything.

>>121658652

to be honest, I think people are trying to be vengeful because they feel hurt and betrayed by blizzards constant bombardment of lies about every single thing.

I don't blame them, they are probably the loyal fanboys that feel like they got betrayed by not getting into beta, ontop of the preorder not giving beta.

Blizzard is horribly mishandling their PR on this shit and should probably replace the steve jobs wannabe guy.

You can boost straight up in the air, then drop the bomb on them.

dunno boss, you already have laser shotguns, point defense lasers and pseudo flight, what else would you be wanting? Missiles maybe?
>>
>>121659071
Time travel
Not even kidding

The device on her chest is there because without it she'd get lost in time and be unable to interact with the world
>>
>>121658990
And if you get a kill with the Ult you build up another mech instantly.
>>
>>121659071
She didn't fight in the Omnic Crisis.

>>121659217
She was in Overwatch, but only recent pre-dissolution OW, just like Winston.

>>121658652
>gay shit like map hacks

See all mobas and fps have these win conditions, the difference is there is counterplay and skill required.

I'm watching streams of guys like b4nny getting raped by some moron reaper pressing a button and there is no legitimate counterplay or potential for outskilling them.

but you're right, if blizzard puts money into they can have a little shitty scene like hots
>>
>>121659071
Most of the heroes didn't actually fight in the Omnic crisis. Just the ones who are visually old like Reinhardt and Torbjorn and Solder 76 actually participated. Most of them just grew up idolising Overwatch and joined what remains of it.
