Overwatch Season 2 Changes Skill Ratings, Reward System. August 15, 2016 . 4:35pm

Game director Jeff Kaplan discusses the changes coming to the next season of competitive play.

7 comments Read >

Overwatch is getting an overhaul for its second season of competitive play. Game director Jeff Kaplan talks about the changes being made in Season 2 in the latest video from the development team.

The next competitive season is going to make the shift to a tiered system that gives players rewards based on the highest tier they’ve earned throughout the event rather than their final standing or Skill Rating. “The cool part of the tiers that we’re going to do is at certain tiers we’re not going to let you drop out of that tier,” Kaplan explains. “Except for the two highest tiers – which are Master and Grand Master – all of the other tiers, once you achieve that tier for the season, you will remain in that tier for the season even if your skill rating drops below what you initially had to do to enter that tier.”

As a result, rewards for Season 2 will be given based on the highest tier each player achieves. “You should feel pretty good even though your playing may be in the Silver skill rating for the last week of the season, but if you ever got into Gold, you will get the reward for Gold,” Kaplan notes regarding the change.

Kaplan details the reason for the change is all part of a new Skill Rating system that rates players within a range of 1 and 5,000 instead of between 1 and 100. “We don’t want to have that debilitating feeling that players have when they lose something in the game. Right now, that 52 Skill Rating player feels just awful when they drop down to 51. We want to get rid of that feeling.”

[YT]H3xFKckFCGM[/YT]
Today at gamescom, Blizzard has given fans a preview of the first new map in Overwatch since the game’s debut. Named Eichenwalde, the map is of an abandoned village complete with a towering castle located near Stuttgart, Germany.

Per Blizzard, the village has its own history and significance in the world of Overwatch, which reads as follows.
​
The site of one of the most famous battles during the Omnic Crisis, it was here that the leader of the Crusaders, Balderich von Alder, and a handful of his best soldiers made a last stand against an advancing automaton army. Outnumbered and outgunned, they were ultimately slain during the resulting combat. However, thanks to their valiant efforts, the German military was able to push back the omnic offensive and win the fight.
​

Players will complete either an assault or escort mission on the vast new area. The escort team strives to take a battering ram up to the castle, seeking to retrieve Balderich’s body. Meanwhile, the assault team seeks to prevent Eichenwalde Castle from being breached.

Activision has its own studio set up, why are they not doing an Overwatch series or CG animated movie yet?

Basically I want a TV series done in the style of those shorts.

September 1, 2016 6 Comments


Overwatch has a free-play weekend coming up for those five gamers out there who don’t yet own the game — at least if they’re willing to play on console. Yes, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players will be able to jump into Overwatch for free from September 9th to 12th. In a blog post on the official site today, Blizzard writes,
“For this free weekend, we’re making Overwatch’s full roster of 22 heroes and 13 maps available for play in a variety of modes, including Quick Play, Custom Games, and the latest Weekly Brawl. You’ll also be able to level up, earn Loot Boxes, and unlock different customization options via the Hero Gallery. If you like what you see and decide to buy Overwatch: Origins Edition, you’ll also get to keep whatever progress you made during the weekend.”
​
Do note that Xbox Live Gold is a prerequisite for those who want to play from that platform. PlayStation Plus isn’t. Check out the official site for the complete minute-by-minute, country-by-country chart to see when exactly you can get in there for free.

Not having the new Competitive Season 2 update on PS4 really chaps my ass. I don't know what the problem is, but Blizzard and Sony need to sort their **** out.

EP Daily Rundown for September 22, 2016

Today in the Rundown, we have the latest on how Warner Bros plans to fix their new DC cinematic universe, get some important news for fans of Blizzard games like Overwatch and Heroes of the Storm, find out what Moon director Duncan Jones is working on next, have an early have an early look at the live-action Ghost in the Shell movie with Scarlett Johansson, dive into new DLC for Rocket League, get the latest on the Star Wars spin-off movie Rogue One, and finally, have some good news about from our old pal Geoff Keighley!

One of the biggest online gaming services in the world is changing its appearance. Blizzard Entertainment is changing the name of Battle.net, the collection of online services that help run their games like World of Warcraft, StarCraft, and Heroes of the Storm. From now on, Battle.net won’t really have a name, instead, all of its services will simply use the Blizzard name, and be called things like Blizzard Streaming and Blizzard Voice. So why are they doing this? Blizzard says they’re getting rid of the Battle.net name because it’s outdated. When it first launched back in 1996, online services were a novelty, but now, it’s assumed that pretty much every game will have them built-in, so there’s no need to distinguish them with a special name. The underlying technology that powers Battle.net will stay exactly the same, so there shouldn’t be any difference in how you access and play the games.

Overwatch puts its next patch up on the test server

September 23, 2016 6 Comments

Want to play with the next Overwatch patch before it’s live? The game’s next patch is currently up on the test server for PC players, so you can test out all of the changes for yourself. Of course, most of the changes consist of bug fixes, but there are ability balance changes in the mix as well, most of which should wind up serving as straight-up buffs.
Widowmaker’s scope will activate more quickly and Junkrat’s RIP-Tire fires more swiftly, allowing both characters to respond more rapidly to changing situations. Ana, meanwhile, will be charging her Ultimate a bit more slowly, but her Biotic Grenade is getting a wider area of effect by way of compensation. There are also quality-of-life improvements and a few new controller enhancements, but you don’t have to take our word for it; you can get on the test server and try it out for yourself.

Ana, Junkrat, And Widowmaker Get Buffs And Adjustments In Latest Overwatch Patch. September 25, 2016 . 5:30pm

Ana’s Biotic Grenade’s radius has been changed from 3 meters to 4 meters while Junkrat’s RIP-Tire ability now activates more quickly.
6 comments Read >

The latest update to Overwatch is now available for PC users in the game’s Public Test Region, which is accessible from the Region/Account drop down menu in the game’s Battle.net app. This time around, a few small buffs were added to Ana, Junkrat, and Widowmaker. For example, Ana’s Biotic Grenade’s radius has been changed from 3 meters to 4 meters. Many other general adjustments and fixes were also included in the patch.

You can read through a few of the updates below.

GENERAL UPDATES

General

  • Static cameras are now supported in spectator mode


  • Team names can now be edited in custom games


  • Raised the volume of Hanzo’s Dragonstrike voice line while wearing the Okami/Lone Wolf Skin


  • Heroes hit by Ana’s Nano Boost have a new voice line that informs other players


  • Increased frequency of Reinhardt’s “barrier failing” voice line


  • Custom Games can now be paused

HERO BALANCE UPDATES

Ana

  • Nano Boost
    • Ultimate cost has been increased by 20%


  • Biotic Grenade
    • Radius has been increased from 3 to 4 meters

Developer Comments: So far, we haven’t seen any indication that Ana is too strong overall, but her ultimate charges a little too fast, especially considering the impact it can have on a match. Also, her Biotic Grenades are getting a small boost to help her hit multiple targets.

Widowmaker

  • Widow’s Kiss
    • Scoping-in animation time has been reduced from 0.5 to 0.3 seconds

Developer Comments: This change will help Widowmaker acquire new targets more quickly and speed up her reaction time in fast-paced situations.

Junkrat

  • RIP-Tire
    • Ability now activates more quickly

Developer Comments: Junkrat can be an extremely effective hero in the right hands, but RIP-Tire often felt underpowered when compared to his counterparts.

USER INTERFACE UPDATES

General

  • Several minor aesthetic changes have been made to the game’s Main, Social, and Options menus


  • Removed several stats that were duplicated for certain heroes throughout the career profile


  • Controller users can now choose between two aiming modes
    • Dual-Zone mode (New default): The vast majority of the thumbstick’s range moves with reduced sensitivity and relatively high acceleration. However, when the thumbstick crosses to the outer 10% of its range, it will move with high sensitivity and relatively low acceleration. This mode will allow for more precise aiming, while still allowing players to turn around quickly.
    • Exponential Ramp mode (Old default): As the thumbstick moves toward the outside of its range, the sensitivity is ramped up exponentially. The acceleration remains relatively high throughout.


  • Camera movement in Spectator Mode has been improved

Social Features


  • Certain commendations will now appear less frequently during end-of-round voting, and others will appear more frequently (e.g. Most Gold Medals and Torbjörn’s Armor Packs Created)

To see the entire list of patch notes, you can visit Overwatch’s official site.
