The dev blogs from beta (which we’ll be continuing), the recent stats blog, the Moira blog, are all examples of us moving towards more transparency and involving the community in our development process. Shifting our philosophy and comms strategy to a new approach takes time, and iteration, to get right.

I know that Jodie and I haven’t been as active on the forums for the last few months. TBF, we’re heads down on planning for the next phase of beta and beyond at the moment. Hopefully I can carve out some more time so...

If I’m here talking about it, it’s highly unlikely

communication =/= being a hype machine on the forums

Please don’t try to conflate the two

Symm has some balance changes in the upcoming beta.

To manage expectations, we’re not talking about a full rework (that would require new vfx, anim, etc), however they are some rather meaty adjustments that will both require some adjustments in playstyle and some time to acclimate

As always, we’ll be closely monitoring feedback and performance data

As I’ve said on multiple occasions here, we’re far less interested in hyping and promising, and more inclined to show the work. For the forum community, it doesn’t add a lot of value for us to be out there talking about how excited we are for next week (even though we are very excited™)

Hiya, everyone!

I wanted to pin this in announcements, as well!

We have pulled the Overwatch Experimental update that we released earlier this morning while we work through a few bug fixes.

We will get the game mode back up as soon as possible!

Thank you for understanding, and we are so sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused!

Thanks, y’all!

Jodie

Hey there, sorry for the problem. We pushed a small build update that unfortunately had an issue, and we’ve reverted back to the older build for now. Updating should work correctly for everyone now.

We’ll be sharing more data and information from this beta phase in a separate post that’s currently being worked on. This blog was meant as a “thanks for testing”, and to set expectations on when you can expect to hear from the team about our future plans.

TLDR: it’s coming, just not today

With the significant amount of changes to both Doom and Orisa, the Hero team wanted to take a bit more time to monitor and consider any tuning.
