Things only got worse when players found out that they would have to grind all the way to level 55 - which is over halfway - on the Overwatch 2 Battle Pass to get access to Ramattra, much like Kiriko. Many accused Blizzard of making it so that players would need to pay for the premium pass to catch
Patches are par for the course in gaming these days. While your live-service behemoths are always tinkering with the meta, keeping gameplay fresh, and fixing all the bugs those first two fixes cause, even the smallest single-player titles come with constant post-launch care these days. Day one patch is now the norm, and while games like Cyberpunk 2077 which launch in historically unacceptable states benefit greatly from devs now being able to fix things in the wild, it’s unlikely Cyberpunk would have launched at all if the studio knew it would be stuck with what it had. On the whole, patches offer a safety net that’s good to the industry, but it sometimes feels like they take away a game’s personal
So many battle pass issues are mounting that players are actually pining for the return of loot boxes . Loot boxes! It’s like being stabbed so many times you wish you could go back to being shot inst
However, one Redditor wrote to Blizzard about this, and it turns out that it was an error. OW1 skins should not have been tagged as 'new', and should be redeemable via Legacy Credits . The customer support team asked them to submit a bug report after receiving their tic
Does anyone actually enjoy doing daily challenges in games? I for one resent logging in to play and finding a list of chores to do. Even trivial challenges - something I would accomplish through normal play - rub me the wrong way. I don’t know what I’m more upset about: that someone invented such an anti-player progression system, or that every developer in the world took one look at it and said "Yep, that’s good enough for
Overwatch 2’s launch had so many dire issues, from long queues for games and progression transfers to frequent disconnects to DDOS attacks, that Blizzard offered a double XP weekend to say sowwy . A second starts on October 28, and another on November 24. There’s also a legendary Reaper skin up for grabs if you log in anytime before October
Support playing as DPS is inevitable with this meta, though. If a flanking Genji or Reaper gets behind the line, you have to fight back, but it’s often too late if you wait for that moment. That means you have to be on the offensive, or you risk getting killed and being spammed with ironic ‘thanks’ and constant ‘I-need-healing’ in the chat. Yeah, I get it, but I was left on my own to fight the two DPS’ and a pushing tank. Healing the 50 damage you took isn’t high on my list of priorities right
Overwatch is dead. Long live Overwatch 2. The sequel has already garnered more than 25 million players so we’re going to keep a close eye on what this burgeoning community gets up to. From early bugs to progression woes and players not playing the damn game properly, here’s everything of note that happened in Overwatch 2 last w
Blizzard revealed a new Tank class Hero for Overwatch 2 Guide|https://overwatch2tactics.com/ 2 called Ramattra . Giving off Indian God vibes – thanks to the slight resemblance to Shiva and with 'Ram' in his name – his backstory revealed a close relationship with Zenyatta and the Omnic people. He comes with two different forms that can be changed on the fly – the offensive Nemesis form which gives him access to powerful punches, and the defensive Omnic form that gives him a barrier to protect his team. He’ll join the roster on Decembe
A progression system designed around completing challenges is meant to make you play longer, that’s it. Instead of playing a few games and logging off, many players will continue playing until they’ve finished their challenges. By offering a small number of challenges every day, games exploit the fear of missing out to ensure players keep logging in just so they don’t fall behind. Neither of these are player-friendly motivations. This is negative reinforcement disguised as positive reinforcem
With how Blizzard is handling these issues, Overwatch 2 players are worried that their favourite Hero will be the next to get sidelined. Plenty are already theorising on who is next in line for the temporary chopping block, with Brigitte being the common consensus . She can create an invincible shield with the help of Kiriko – a major exploit that could potentially ruin ga
With Overwatch 2, we finally got a new mode with Wrath of The Bride, where we play with Sojourn, Ashe, Junker Queen, and Kiriko as we venture through the map and face new challenges, which is a good refresher for the second-oldest event in the g
Unfortunately, you don't have a lot of control over these modes. The special modes from the other events appear in the Arcade menu, but they appear at random and only change every 24 hours. You can't really control which one to search for and have to wait for the one you like to appear when the rotation chan
