Overwatch Dev Tracker

Please find attached this image of me during my normal work day

Because of unforeseen circumstances, we needed to push the start of the event back by just a few days.

Personal opinion, but the art team really sleighed it with this year’s Legendary skins.

Player?

I’ve only joined the team/Blizz around 6 months ago. I was fortunate enough to have a good friend on the team who invited me to one of our internal friends and family tests before announce/beta. My first experience with Overwatch was watching my kids sitting next to Metzen’s kids, loving every minute.

I’ve been a fan of the game ever since.

Since before launch here

This is a fair bit of critique and is something I’m happy to take accountability for. We’ve been discussing themes internally, and will do so with the next group of creators we work with.

This first iteration has been a great proof of concept. We’re going to continue to improve and iterate on these, and other community events, as we go.

I already have a note to poke Geoff and Co. (Hero Balance and Design) this week to ask if we’re entertaining the thought. I’ll let you know if I can share what we discuss.

Look, I know I said this about the Halloween skins but…

The Winter Wonderland skins this year are straight fire. Both Jodie and I were fairly stoked when we first saw them

Can’t wait for you all to get your mittens on em!

Now excuse me while I flee the forums after teasing you all

Oh they knew

The Santa hat wasn’t enough?

yeeeeessssh

While I understand your intent, there’s a fine line between wanting folks to provide nuanced and informed feedback and actively gatekeeping it.

Also, just so we’re on the same page: the current ExCard is not meant to be “serious”, at least as it relates to balance.

Hiya folks,

We have disabled the Gibraltar map in the Quick Play, Competitive, and Experimental game modes while we investigate an issue.

At this time we do not have an ETR. I’ll update this thread when we have additional information.

Hiya folks,

Earlier this evening we released a hotfix addressing this issue.

Apologies for anyone who had a negative experience due to it, and thank you for your reports.

Hey guys as a quick reminder if you have evidence of users abusing any exploits, its better to send it in an email to [email protected].

The forums are always much more critical of us than the broader community. This likely has to do with the profile of player who tends to be more engaged on a platform like fora (hyper engaged, core fans), whereas the other platforms tend to be a bit less serious in nature.

I get it.

The community team goals include hosting regular, consistent, community events. It’s a bit too early to wave the flag of success (we’ll be measuring overall impact in an internal retro), but early indicators about this ExC have been positive, with a significant amount of feedback from creators and core players alike feel that it’s a welcome update that makes the game feel more vibrant than it has in awhile.

We’re going to continue to...
