Reaper edition

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.

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

why is everyone concerned about the tickrate?

I mean sure it's harder to hit someone, but you're also harder to hit, meaning people can play during each spawn longer, rather than getting insta raped the second they come out of their base like in battlefield and other shity camper games.

interpolation is drawing shit out of nothing

it's not a valid countermeasure alone

there's a reason every single high level cs player has these two commands in their autoexec:

cl_interp 0
cl_interp_ratio 1

because they want the interpolation to be as minimal as possible so they can see as close to what the server sees

I don't play CS, TF2, COD, or really any major multiplayer shooters but I had a lot of fun last weekend. I can definitely see what people are talking about with the lag compensation/20 ticker servers since I experienced it as well.

The only thing is, I have no idea what a "good" tick rate is since I don't have much experience in other games. So what is it? 25? 30? Just how low is 20?
>>
>>123292227
20 is pretty low.

For a 6v6 game it has no reason not being 64, that's what CS uses for public matchmaking.

Just a reminder to not buy Blizzard's "artistic choice" Kool-Aid.
tick rate should be, and always should be, AT LEAST the same as the average user's frame rate. Most people will probably be playing Overwatch at 60 FPS, which means there is no real reason to want 20 tick over 60. If the tick rate is at least the same as your frame rate, than you're seeing a much more accurate representation of the game.

The fairness argument is dumb, because everyone playing at 64 is just as fair as everyone playing at 20 (if not more). People getting 20 FPS in Overwatch will still be disadvantaged hugely anyways, it just means people playing at 60 FPS will have an inaccurate representation of the game on their screen.

In a perfect world every game would be 128 tick, but optimally Overwatch should just be 64. The ONLY reason Blizzard is doing any less, is to save money on servers.

>>123292769
Yeah. Most games match 64 tick because 60 FPS is kind of the modern standard on PC.
>>
>>123292530
I just really like their logo and Bastion and think it would look cool in that picture.

Surely they'll change the tick rate, right?

They changed max FOV after enough backlash.
>>
>>123293641
>They changed max FOV after enough backlash.

Maximum FoV is still less than classic "90".
>>
>>123293641

Depends, the FOV still isn't big enough and makes melee encounters really awkward.
>>
>>123293641
Leddit needs to whine more
>>
>>123293612
keep projecting, not a lot of people think they are bad at the game because of tickrate, only that tickrate is unfair.

Realistically, hitscan weapons should NEVER cause a kill trade. If I fire before you, then you should die and not kill me. However, a low tickrate enables both players to die at the same time. Did you win the firefight and shoot first, or did you shoot second? You don't know, it's impossible with a low tickrate.

It also goes to show that CSGO pros complain about tickrate as well, it's not just a shitty excuse for poor gameplay. It affects everyone evenly, but it does not show skill.

It's still beta for a reason.
I'm not memeing either, this is legitimately why they're doing the beta.

I wouldn't be surprised if 20 tick rate is their lowest point, and they'll just raise it until people are happy. That way they look good for fixing it, and find out the minimum people want to save dosh.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if they don't fix it either. Since the FOV still isn't 90, and I personally think online shooters should be able to be played at 120 if so desired.

Neutral. Not only do I fully expect them to do a skin store, but I also think that is totally reasonable and fine.

>>123293970
No real world weapon is hitscan. It makes more sense that 2 snipers could kill each other.
>>
>>123294259

As long as they don't sell characters or items that affect gameplay for real money then I don't care.

I wouldn't mind if they sold "expansions" of 5+ characters for 5-10 bucks or so, but I really don't want to see them go the LoL route.

But the difference is that the 2 snipers killing eachother isn't the result of an actual ballistics system. It's just poor netcode.

They added an FOV slider that doesn't go over 85 vertical 60 horizontal. It looks like hell whenever you get in close quarters and if you get motion sickness you won't be able to play.
>>
>>123294259
Dead as soon as this is announced, people probably mass demanding refunds and never spending money on the game.

Heroes in this don't work like they do in a MOBA. Locking them behind any type of paywall or grind wall is essentially the same as locking ITEMS in a moba behind a grind or paywall, aka the game becomes unplayable.

I actually play nothing but Hanzo, are you in beta? If you were you'd know that Hanzo is disgustingly broken. I'm honestly shit at fps games and was probably the worst fucking huntsman in TF2 but in Overwatch I can fucking nail people constantly with Hanzo because hitboxes are not only xbox huge but people fucking stand around for ages when they peek or just start moving.

I am literally the worst fucking player in the world at tf2, I am dogshit personified but I can go 3:1 K/D in overwatch with fucking Hanzo.
>>
>>123295830
this you have to be able to access all heroes all the time to setup tactics and counters throughout the whole match. this is a big part fun and strategy in this fucking game.
>>
>>123296102
Yeah Hanzo is fucking retarded, so sick of being "accidentalyl" sniped and 1 shot by him as he machine guns arrows into a chokepoint or riochets them around a corner.

Also kill cam shows me not even in his LOS or anywhere near his crosshairs and I die 24/7, he isn't even aiming at me but nope, I'm just gonna die because machine gun arrows all over the fucking map.

>>123294259
Hero store is no-go, though if they add new heroes for free and launch them along side skins for them when the hype is at their peak I'd be down for that.

Fuck off.
The game is closer to finished than any fucking recently released game by blizzard. HOTS, nearly a year later, still doesn't have a functioning match making system and it took them JUST NOW to figure out that snowballing early game and being 20% stronger in early levels as well as res zerging early in the game is a huge issue. This shit was complained about and told to them during early as fuck stages of beta and they completely ignored it.

I've beta tested tons of games, and tons have released in basically alpha states, this game is basically far enough along that you could call it patch 2.3 for a normal fucking game.

Even if it's not ready for actual release, it should at least be in open beta, if not pre-order access granting beta for how far along it is in it's dev cycle. A game this close to being finished does not belong in closed beta, especially not for nearly SIX more fucking months.

Blizzard are being complete cunts about not letting people play it and I'm fucking mad.

>>123300031
Not really mate. They don't have a ranked system or a progression system yet. Their PotG is shit and they're scrapping the card system for MVP. They still have a lot of work to do. I do think they could expand the beta considerably though.

Likely the reason they aren't is because they don't want people to get their fix for free.
>>
>>123300031
>tons of games
>open beta
Then you'd realize open beta is essentially just marketing/stress testing, which if you played the game you'd know that's not what the game needs after the first stress test. People still have problems with the game, some VERY VALID, like the tick rate,

There is still no lobby/server browser. For a multiplayer FPS. It is not release worthy yet.

This is a party game like smash, it's not about winning, it's about having fun and getting the play of the game.

If you want a tryhard team you have to make your own.

Actually the best strategy to win with pugs is to rush forward and pick up the enemies 1v1 so your retarded team has a bigger chance of winning a 5 v 4 and things like that.

>>123300421
I never said they need to release the game. it can stay in beta for 6 more months, the problem is that the game has so much playability and all the core gameplays elements are finished that it's beyond fucking retarded that they're being SO STINGY about beta invites.

The game should be in pre-order access beta by now, no excuses at this point. There's literally zero reason not to allow pre-orders to play at this point, 8 maps, 21 finished heroes(ENTIRE ROSTER FFS) that are all playable and VERY well balanced and barely ANY game breaking bugs/exploits or server lag.

After playing it this weekend I have to say I am astounded that it's still SIX months away from release. In the state the game is in now it at least needs to have preorder beta access going.

Big streamers aren't playing it and they have so many people who want to get in and actually help them with quality feedback.

ending each game in under 4minutes because people tried to "have fun" by playing death match instead of trying to defend the objective is very much anti fun.

If you played soccer and 3 of your teammates decided they're having fun by doing cartwheels on the sidelines or trying to play keep up with the ball instead of trying to defend or strike goals would you say they're having fun? Or would you say they're ruining the game?

Nothing wrong with cartwheels and keep up but If you sign up for soccer please play soccer.

I guess they have a lot of small shit to do. Balancing is probably a big part. If the game was life I'd be pissed about heroes like Zenyatta or Bastion.
>>
>>123302410

That's really why they need actual players in the game now, they need the data and feedback to be able to properly tweak characters, abilities, and maps. Overall that was the only real thing I saw wrong with the game, it only needs a few little changes here and there and it's good to go.

If anything I'd like to see another 5-6 characters put in before launch, I'm not sure what else they need 6 freaking months of barely anyone playing the game for.

I made a thread on the overwatch reddit about how I feel all new future heroes need to be free to people who purchased the game for $40 already because heroes are an essential part of the game since you can swap to them on the fly mid match, you know the usual.

This isn't soccer tho, this are videogames, you're playing with strangers on the internet, people don't play to follow rules and accommodate to your standards of fun. If you were matched with total retards and don't like it, leave and hope to get a better team. I did this and it worked like 80% of the time, the enemy does get matched with retards and people who simply come from hearthstone/wow who have no fucking idea what they are doing.

Did you try communicating with them? or did you just expect them to know the best way to win? the game doesn't teach you anything, the tutorial is a barebones mechanics training on how to move and use skills, that's it, it doesn't teach you strategy, all you get are those tooltips at the char selection and then you're left to god's wisdom to iluminate them. Be the beacon and the leader they need, teach them how to get better, build a strong community by being the teammate this game needs, not the asshat crybaby complaining the rest of the team doesn't know how to play and complaining about it on an anonymous itnernet forum.

Just stating the facts m8, as I said deal with it or leave the game, no matter how hard you rage it's not going to change unless you bring your own teammates, if you enjoyed playing with someone ask them for their ID, add them to your contacts and keep playing with them. There's also a bunch of people here sharing their conacts hoping to get decent partners rather than random weekend hearthstone players. This kind of thing as natural to me as "playing the right way" seems to be to you, but sometimes people just expect everyone to think the same way as them so they end up frustrated like you and rate the experience as negative when they didn't even try to improve it.
>>
>>123302942
That's just completely unacceptable. There was NOTHING wrong with my post, it's a valid fucking concern so many people are having with this game.

Blizzard devs read the subreddit all day, it's the only place the majority of people(who aren't in the beta...) can post things for the devs to see, and a huge issue like that isn't allowed to be talked about for the devs?

I contacted the mods about it in a very polite manner, I hope they undelete my thread.

I doesn't like him either. Soldier has superiour movement, survivabilty and I prefer his gunplay. Mccree feels like shotgun shooting without the spread.
But he definatly has the better ultimate and I feel like both are almost identical in how they work, Mccree clicks and kills, Soldiers holds and hopes.
