They're all going for the Huge Rez achievement

Although to be honest that's the problem I have as Mercy. If I only rez one or two people at a time people start yelling at me for "wasting" my ult. If I try and save it for when 3 or more teammates go down I get yelled at for not using it.

Zen seems to actually contribute so not sure of the nerfs.

Overlaps with Mercy and his orb of discord is bonkers, even if everyone except you ignore the de-buff. Tanks simply melt.

Heals: 50 HP/s - 15m limitation, requires lock on, needs to be closer to the front lines
Overcharge: + 30% DMG single target

Zen

Heals: 30 HP/s - requires LoF, 40m limitation
Discord orb: +50% DMG to ALL damage sources, can be spammed relatively easy

Zen also does more damage with his basic attack. After placing the orb of harmony/discord he's free to shot his enemies. As far I have noticed, on higher level of play, players prefer to reduce the enemy HP as soon as possible rather than going for the drawn out game or gambling on Mercy surviving and getting a good resurrection. She also has mobility on her side, although it's team dependant. Both characters will regenerate HP, although only Mercy can bring her HP to the full. Personally found Zen to be safer to play as I'm not required to be as close to the tanks, shields also have amazing regenerating speed and unlike Mercy, if I react quickly I can occasionally kill an overzealous flanker or a flanker that focuses on killing a team mate nearby.

Mmm thats true. the discord orb is fantastic. and maybe too good at higher levels or coordination.

on a side note i really wish i can get the swiss mercy skin by the end of it. :/

I've got it. I also got the blue and white event D.Va skin.

Both of them are pretty cool.

Mercy's skin is a real winner. Opened an orange Tracer and tricolour Widow. Would trade both skins for hers. It was a nice thought to have a special event, however a lot of players are simply sitting on a large pile of coins that can't be spend.

So, my brother bought me Overwatch yesterday, because I refused to by it myself. Guess I'm in the "cool" crowd now, right? Right?

Just about I wanted the game long before it became the biggest gaming bandwagon this year. #waytoohipforya'll

Trust us, it's super fun!

G.A

It's super addicting as well. I only realized that when I woke up yesterday and realized I had dreamed about unboxing one of Reinhardts legendary skins

Heh i opened 3 of those dva Korea skins already mentioned before. :/

I got soo many dups.

Im so far walking away with that and the solid red Zaria. also a butt load of sprays and icons.

really wanted the Murica mcree and swiss mercy. still got a day or two for a few more boxes though.

The game is WAY more fun than I thought it would be!

I bought it for my daughter, and she's actually really good at it - but I've been having a blast playing it too, though mostly only as Soldier 76...

Because we really need more 76's

Nah I'm no better really, I've essentially been maining D.VA as much as possible - basically criminal behaviour in Overwatch. Still begging for that Olympic Skin of her - just give it to me Blizzard so I can go home happy!

Yeah, my very first Box I opened last night my friends told me I wasn't allowed to play anymore, since I got a Legendary skin for Reaper. Two boxes later I got another legendary skin. They're pretty salty. I guess that was a lucky pull?

Generally yes legendaries are rare unboxes, although I somehow managed to unbox the same legendary summer games skin for Tracer twice in a row (Sprinter)

Talk about the odds on that.

I managed to open up two legendarys in 1 box

turned out to be a dup and a gold.

i think this game hates me or something lol

I was fine with it the first time, as I do play Tracer a fair bit. But I was really hoping for the new Mercy or D.va skins.

I got myself a couple of Victory poses and Voice Lines. I don't think I've got any skins yet, though. I'd love the Zarya skin.

I got the Refrigerator line for Reaper, though. Does anybody know what that's about?

Anyone seen the new map revealed today, Eichenwalde?

This one actually seems to show what the Omnic Crises have done to the world, and I'm looking forward to playing on it

Also Bastion Animated Short out tomorrow! Supposedly he is linked to this town that they just revealed; perhaps he was part of the fighting there and was left presumably destroyed along with all the other Omnic machinery there, including other destroyed Bastion units...




A piece from the video description: 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.

On this map, one team must escort a battering ram to Eichenwalde Castle to reclaim Balderich’s remains from their current resting place, while the opposing team does everything in its power to thwart the keep from being breached.

I just saw it pop up on facebook.

its too old world charm and not enough future tech to my liking.

but looks like it could be fun.

I just got to play Overwatch. I have to say throwing a det pack in Tracer's face and blowing her back to England as Junkrat elicits an evil cackle out of me.

The new map looks neat, the soundtrack sounds wonderful. Hope there's a lot of antique stuff to break. Anyway:

THEY HAVE COME TO CLAIM FOR WHAT IS OURS!

Is anyone playing this on xbox one and fancy teaming up? I really need more people to actually play with as opposed to PUGs -_-

Sorry, I'm only on PC, if I'm on at all - I played the beta on PS4, and when I tried it on PC it felt a lot more precise; I feel like this kind of game really goes well with a Mouse and Keyboard rather than a controller. Move over if you can!

Stylosa posted some footage of Eichenwalde that he was streaming from the floor of Gamescon; looks like a cracking map!

I love the look of the new map, and I'm really psyched to see if Reinhardt has any special little pre-game musings about it

So, who saw the Animated Short live today?

Im at work

Sorry I forgot people had lives

I meant to link it here, so I'll do that now:

I liked it and because I'm a sucker for robots I've always liked Bastions character despite the in game hate he seems to generate.

They also announced a nerf for Genji which I was hoping for, adding buffs for Mei and Mercy. Waiting to see the new map in action and what fixes they do with the next season of competitive play as I pretty much quit it due to all the team drops.

I did not expect to get all the feels from a short which has no voicework nor anything beyond tweets, beeps, and whirls.

I think Blizzard outdid themselves here.
